Cities / ASIA air pass
« on: June 04, 2010, 09:32:47 AM »
If you're thinking of traveling to Asia this year, you might want to look into Cathay Pacific's All Asia Pass: http://bit.ly/cMsfI1

According to Smarter Travel,
"Cathay Pacific's All Asia Pass allows travelers to fly round-trip from the U.S. to Hong Kong and visit up to four other destinations in Asia starting at $1,599. Airfare taxes and fees are extra.

Considering that separately purchased flights between these destinations could easily cost you several thousand dollars, the All Asia Pass can be a tremendous value. You may also add on other cities in China, India, Nepal, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, or extend your travel period to up to 90 days (and add more destinations) for an extra charge.

The All Asia Pass includes round-trip airfare between Los Angeles, New York (JFK), or San Francisco and Hong Kong, plus 21 consecutive days available for travel between Hong Kong and up to four of the 42 offered destinations, including Bali, Bangkok, Phuket, Manila, Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Karachi, Phnom Penh, Seoul, Singapore, and Taipei just to name a few. If you aren't flying out of these three departure cities, you have the option to connect for a bit extra.

Departures at these prices are valid Mondays through Wednesdays August 17 through December 1. Summer departures are available from May 18 through August 16, though they come with a $500 surcharge."

Non-Music Shit / insane way to spend a year...
« on: February 18, 2010, 12:37:26 AM »
on nothing but groupons!

"We will choose one person to attempt to survive for one year with nothing but a laptop, cellphone, and an unlimited supply of Groupons. If successful, that person will receive $100,000!"

i couldn't do it, but i'd imagine if you didn't have a job or a place to live and were pretty extroverted and resourceful this would be a blast. plus the $100,000 at the end of it all.

Music Shit / Gonerfest 2008 photo album
« on: September 29, 2009, 10:31:51 AM »
Alright, so it's a year after the fact, and even Gonerfest09 is over, but Canderson and I finally put together an album of photos we took at Gonerfest08. We caught most of the bands (including Elephant Walk and Roctopus at the Artisan, but excluding two of the opening day bands). We even captured many of the attendees at their finest (or worst, depending on who's looking). Here's the link to the preview:

If you feel like ordering it, try this code for free shipping: hpfreeshipping
It should get you up to $10 off shipping.

Wish we'd gone to Gonerfest this year! The Nobunny meltdown looked especially epic, even via webstream!

Non-Music Shit / weird Craigslist scam
« on: July 24, 2009, 02:06:26 PM »
So I've been looking for Bay Area apts on Craigslist and came across a decent-looking 2bd "bungalow" that was in my hood for $842--too good to be true, right? I emailed them anyway, stating that I was interested. Afterward, I walked over to the house since it's just a few blocks away. The house had a For Sale sign in front of it, and was well-kept but completely vacant. A few days later, I received the following email.
1) How the hell did they come up with this address?
2) Who the hell falls for this crap???
3) Is my email address now in some grand database of suckers?
