Is anybody here familiar with Orland Park? They have a really nice
mall, if you like to spend money, or just watch people -- good stuff in
the food court (I particularly like Schoop's), people throw coins into
the big fountain in the middle of the mall -- it's a great place to kill
a few hours on a weekend!

One of my ex-gfs used to work at Hot Topic there (yes, she was a total
goth!) so I spent a lot of time in that place, too!

Orland Park also has my favorite Borders out of the 20 or so I've been
to.

There's a little coffee place called Mojoe's on 94th Avenue, a few
blocks south of the mall, that has a peanut butter and coffee drink that
I really like. I normally don't drink coffee at all, but this thing was
actually good and I kind of got addicted. The ex (the one I mentioned
above) and I used to spend a lot of time there -- sometimes they even
had bands.

I haven't been to Mojoe's in awhile, so I don't know if they still have
it, but I hope so! Because one day I am going back there!

lex, up in this part of the woods, for fun, i just go to the locks and
point and make fun of all the tourists

Do you guys listen to WPLJ up there?

i'm not familiar with it at all lex...lol, or am i missing
something...is this a trick question??

Go check "Burnt Weeny Sandwich."

ah. found it

I figured it sounded like a radio station!

album, released feb 1970...song from same...problem up here is i love
fz, but there just isn't anything of his around, so i probably am
missing out on a lot of his stuff..and ergo, not familiar with a
lot....btw, fronobulax, was that from grand wazoo

HA!...so it was a trick question..

Frunobulax was from "Cheepnis" on Roxy. The giant poodle....

oh ya...k, the giant poodle dog...rofl..i remember now...somewhat,
anyway..thx for the refresh..

, destroying the city

like war of the worlds..kinda thing

Yeah, he was talking about that movie "It Conquered The World" --
there's a scene where the monster is coming out of a cave and you can
see he's being PUSHED out by a board in his back -- now that's
cheepnis....!

Where's Flo & Eddie when you need them?

rofl...yeah, i remember that now....too funny...nooooo, pull it
back...lol

maybe, i should just order some stuff online, but i'm always so damn
paranoid about ordering anything online, u know?

anyway, lex, didn't mean to steal your thread, so this control
voice(isn't that another thing he did?), will now return regular
scheduled programming over to the originator of this thread..

Same here, I've actually had to do it a few times with CDs that are
impossible to find here but seem to be readily available in Germany, for
some reason -- and I've never had a problem.

But I know people who have....

FZ stuff is getting harder and harder to find in stores because he
doesn't fit well into any of their preconceived categories -- I still
see some stuff at places like Borders, but it's not like it was even 5
years ago when they carried practically his whole catalogue -- try to
find "Thing-Fish" or "Lumpy Gravy" in a store now --

A couple of the really good CD stores, the ones where they carried the
more obscure stuff, just recently closed down. There's ONE decent one
left that I know of in downtown Chicago, on Washington Street, but I
wonder how long they'll be there.....

sam goody recently closed down here..as did new moon ...why didnt i
think of them earlier..damn..think i'm gonna look at zappa.com
see what they have..thx, lex
