I'd love to ask him when Egg Hunt is coming off hiatus.

You_Are_A_Loser (November 6, 2009)

I can only hope his reply would be, "I don't wanna hear it." You know, because it's a Minor Threat song.

MattRamone (November 6, 2009)

I will definitely show up having popped some Red Medicine. You know, because it's a Fugazi album.

You_Are_A_Loser (November 6, 2009)

A winner is you.

I think the more pressing question is whether or not he will be reprising his role as Egghead in the next Batman movie.

MattRamone (November 6, 2009)

He'll decry Danny Elfman for working within the studio system.

I think my stapler is for righties only. it keeps jamming on me.

kneel (November 6, 2009)

i'm pretty sure they arent designed for stapling hands.

last i checked, youre supposed to staple paper with them

baldsteve (November 6, 2009)

+1 to you

You_Are_A_Loser (November 6, 2009)

You should really look to invest in a left handed stapler. While you're at it, get some leftie scissors. Unless you already have those. You could always get another pair as a backup though.

Found a great website for you.

I've actually developed a good feel for rightie scissors. You had to adapt in order to survive in 2nd grade. it's all in darwin.

You_Are_A_Loser (November 6, 2009)

Survival of the fittest for sure

MilesQToast (November 6, 2009)

You know when there is music playing just barely out of earshot but you can still hear faint bits and pieces and you think 'oh it's that song... no wait no it's not...wait yes it is...' and you listen for cues to verify or deny that it is that song and sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't and sometimes you just never find out? I'm there.

baldsteve (November 6, 2009)

All the time. It's creepy when it's something that you feel shouldn't be there.

RonnieD (November 6, 2009)

I hope he digs into some of his Minor Threat thoughts and lectures against drugs. I can't tolerate anything associated with that product scumbag distribution channel.

MattRamone (November 6, 2009)

Pretty sure he broke edge. A mean, who gets to be 60 and not have a glass of wine?

RonnieD (November 6, 2009)

There's a difference between booze and drugs.....

supernothing241 (November 6, 2009)

no they are the same
even so having a glass every so often in my opinion doenst mean breaking edge.

when you drink a bottle of win to get drunk...thats edge breaking

MattRamone (November 6, 2009)

Either you're an idiot or a troll.

elliot (November 6, 2009)

I saw him speak at Iowa State in January '02. Some kid asked him when the new Fugazi album was coming out. Ian laughed and told him it had already come out months ago. The whole crowd laughed at the kid. It was great.

kevinb (November 6, 2009)

Wow, hopefully I can go. Cave In, Narrows and Trap Them are all playing the same day, though. :

Seth_Uber_Alles (November 6, 2009)

I was there last time, and I will be there this time! The stuff he talked about was very interesting and awesome. I even got to meet him afterwards, that was amazing. Ian is pretty much my hero! I'm super excited.

tmuda (November 6, 2009)

Cool beans! Ian mackaye and then afterwards right down the street langhorne slim at the chameleon club. good night in Lancaster

Cloudkicker (November 6, 2009)

Ian MacKaye? Lecturing?

Sorry, had to.

xHeelyx (November 7, 2009)

Should be fun. Glad this is going to happen.

kf (November 22, 2009)

Hopefully he stuck to talking about music... It is SO annoying when he tries to talk politics!
