music request and other stuff

[skoosiepants]

Hey, can anyone upload any All-American Rejects stuff for me? I'm a mooch, I know, you love me. I'm actually going to upload some random music for you all soon :) I'm making mixes and figured out how to work an FTP to get them on my site so the links don't, you know, expire. I am so smart. Seriously, sometimes I amaze even myself.

Stuff I Need To Know For The Brendon Urie Coming Out Fic That I Could Probably Look Up Myself But Figured I'd Start With You All:

1) Is the cabin of love where the guys were writing located in Vegas?

2) At this moment in time, Brendon is on good terms with his parents, right?

3) Does Chicago have a zoo? If so, does this zoo have giraffes and llamas and tigers and ostriches and possibly a place to pet goats?

4) Be honest now; how awesome is Jon Walker?

This is the laziest Sunday of all Sundays. I am still, technically, in bed, even though I've been up since 8 this morning.

Sorry, deleted the last comment because the links went to online not download tracks, sorry.

Hope someone uploads AAR for you, if not then yell and I'll connect up the drive with music on and get things uploaded for you, it's just a bit tricky. Sorry.

Also Jon Walker is very very awesome because of the flip flops. And the willingness to be put into clothing with roses on.

No problem, thanks anyway!

The flip-flops make the man, clearly *grins*

I have no idea if the pornocabin is actually around here, but if it is it's probably over in Mt. Charleston, which is only about 20 minutes away from town, in a National Forest, and full of very expensive "cabins".

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

So if someone were to visit the cabin, they'd still probably fly into Vegas??

[ladysorka]

Oh, definitely. There are only two major airports in Nevada anyway - Las Vegas and Reno/Tahoe, and I'm doubting they're up by Reno.

(You also should probably know that there is a lot of parts of Nevada where the cabin couldn't be, as only 11% of Nevada is privately owned land - the rest is either government or tribal.)

Mmm, from what I've heard, the cabin isn't in Vegas, but is northwest of Vegas while still in Nevada.

I am happily uploading AAR in full anticipation of someone else getting it to you first; no matter! It's good to have AAR uploaded! \o/

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Far northwest do you think? Hmmmmm.

1) In the northwest woods. Still in Nevada, to the best of my knowledge.
2) Yes.
3) Lincoln Park (north side, free admission) has all of these things. Also, the more popular and Children Zoo one is Brookfield, which actually has an enclosure where the kids (and adults) can pet the farm animals, including goats at the Hamill Family Play Zoo. I can get you maps and stuff if you want, because I am that hardcore (my family is members there). Lincoln Park is right downtown, Brookfield is 15 minutes or so out of the city.
4) There are no words.

Want me to send you a zip of Move Along? Thus far, it's the only CD I have in it's entirety on my slowly rebuilding hard drive.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

A free admission zoo? Wow. That boggles my mind :) Ours is so expensive! So at the free one, can they pet goats and llamas, or is that only at the children's zoo?

If it wouldn't be too much trouble?

[ladybeth.livejournal.com]

I have Move Along, It Ends Tonight and Dirty Secret if you still need them.

[ladybeth.livejournal.com]

Wait...those are all from the "Move Along" CD and it appears your already getting that one, so never mind:)

[clumsygyrl.livejournal.com]

1) it is in big bear, in l.a.
2) yes
3) yes, it does. http://www.lpzoo.org/animals/mammal_list.php no llamas i don't think.
4) JON WALKER IS MADE OF AWESOME.

and i think i have one or two things of AAR on here. i could ysi.

[callsigns.livejournal.com]

The Big Bear rumor was spread by _safi, though; I shouldn't think it's true. I swear there's an article saying that the cabin's in NW Nevada . . . *searches*

[lorwyndaystar.livejournal.com]

I felt it necessary to add my own two cents by saying that Jon Walker is the DEFINITION of awesome. Multiplied by infinity.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*AGREES WHOLE-HEARTEDLY*

[natacup82.livejournal.com]

Jon Walker is totally awesome, and he's a real boy! Also I've been reading various Jon/Spencer fic all day...how the hell do these things keep happing?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

He's a real boy YES. You know, that is bandied about so much that sooner or later I expect to see some sort of pinocchio au about him :) Like, the boys need a bass player, so they ROBOTICALLY ENGINEER ONE and it's JON and all he wants in the world is to be a REAL BOY and it's a tragic and uplifting tale and then at the end HE IS LOVED FOR WHO HE IS and stuff.

Also I've been reading various Jon/Spencer fic all day...how the hell do these things keep happing? ahahhahahahhaa

Lincoln Park vs Brookfield Zoos

[nakedwesley.livejournal.com]

Lincoln Park is the smaller of the two, more intimate. That was always my favorite, because I loved the ape house. I don't know if it's still there, but it used to have a nursery, for the baby animals and you could go watch them being fed and cool stuff like that. It's easy to get to because it's only a few blocks from a main train stop.

Brookfield is really big, and features animals in a more natural habitat. You can ride a tram around the zoo and hop on and off. They also have those machines where you can get wax molded figures of different animals. (Funny the things you remember.) Along with the children's petting zoo, I think there's also a farm.

Re: Lincoln Park vs Brookfield Zoos

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm... so probably the bigger one would be better suited to giraffes and tigers and llamas, right? Although I don't know if I'm actually going to name where they are, so that might be moot.

[mixed-reviews.livejournal.com]

I, too, love mooching songs off the Web, and I found this community to be a great resource: community.livejournal.com/lunatunes
I don't know if any of it is to your taste, but it's somewhere to get and post music.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome, thank you! I'm always on the lookout for new stuff :)

[astoryandasong.livejournal.com]

Okay, I am so happy you are serious about the zoo scene!
Brendon? Petting goats and llamas? Just.Adorable. Like Jon Walker, who is just so awesome I can't coherently express it.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Zoo shenanigans! Of course, I gave Patrick a phobia of long-necked animals. He totally thinks the giraffes are going to eat them all and take over the world with their long tongues.

Other people have already answered because I am days late as usual, but you should definitely go with Brookfield Zoo. It's located in, suprise suprise, Brookfield, IL and is just a short drive from the city. It's site is here (http://www.brookfieldzoo.org/) if you want more general information.

It's better than Lincoln Park Zoo for three main reasons:
1 - It is much much larger
2 - It has many more animals
3 - It has more realistic habitats for the animals and is mostly organized by where the animals are from. This means there are 'houses' for all the different regions (such as Africa and Australia) or climate types (Swamp, Savannah, Rainforest) in addition to the standards such as the Reptile House and Bird House.

This summer they even have a 'pet the stingrays' exhibit and they always have a Butterfly house where you can walk through an area where butterflys are flitting about from spring until fall.

Cool! Thanks for the info!
