Over 10,000 people showed up in the rain in Chicago to audition for American Idol 5. As usual, many of the more unusual contestants made it on camera. There was the guy wearing a Statue of Liberty costume that the judges stopped and sent away before he finished singing his first verse. There was the deputy who butchered “I Shot the Sheriff.” There was the guy in Assyrian folklore clothes, singing a song that none of the judges could understand. There was the girl with the overdone tan. Then, there was the girl with the overdone tan again. What?

SUITSAT: There's a new satellite orbiting Earth, and it's a weird one. On

Friday, Feb. 3rd, at 6:02 pm EST, astronauts threw an old Russian spacesuit

overboard from the International Space Station. The disembodied suit, nicknamed

SuitSat, is now circling Earth and transmitting a radio message which you can

hear using a police scanner or ham radio tuned to 145.990 MHz (FM). Please

visit http://spaceweather.com for more information about SuitSat and how to tune

into it.

I was going to link up to GoogleÂ’s designated page, but AOL (as annoying as they are) actually has ALL the commericals. And you can play them by quarter.

I'd pay the price.

That's way popular. They've been doing it for years now. It's kinda like the anti-V-day thing to do. My wife doesn't like White Castles but she does dislike all the hyped up BS that goes with the holiday. We tend to do something but it's always the weekend after. This year I'm going to surprise her with a Michael Birawer canvas painting with the $ I won on the Superbowl. Guess which one I bought?

we have the first bank building on our bathroom wall. we were gonna get mcg's, but it ended up being too dark for our bedroom over the bed.

they sell his work at deck the walls.

Clue Master

No. I got this one of St. Peter Street.

Both of us saw this scene every day for 15 years.

Bought it from Deck The Walls at the MOA. That 1st Bank one and McG's are cool too. My bro-in-law had the McG one and is where I first seen any of his work. It's all good stuff. And apparently selling like hotcakes since the store can't keep them on the shelves. I can't even get mine until the Friday after next. :frown:

its cool stuff. i know al and alma's is no longer available as a print. i'm wondering whether we should buy st. peter st. and mcg's just to have the prints of before they go out of print too.

the other guy we like is eric waugh. tc had 3 prints whe we moved into our house, we bought another one for a wall space in the living room (much like we bought some more furniture for the living toom when we took the tree down in 2004), and at the uptown art fair in 2004, he was performing live, and we bought one of his originals which hangs on the wall between the foyer and dining room straight in from the front door. i don't remember which casino's bathroom we were in in las vegas, but we both had to take the camera in because our living room pics were on the walls in the restrooms. he also did an impromptu drawing on the back (and titled it "an original to go with your prince" because we told him about the 4 prints of his that we'd designed the living room around). and he's doing the art for princess cruise lines' ships.
