hey nahant how’s the bay area tonight?

Suz!

Merry Christmas to you and all the pups!

chillin how bout you Suz?

ll! merry of the merriest to you. how’s va tonight?

33 and clear skies. brrr. have the wood stobe blazing

Yay LL!
Suz, great song, never heard this one.

hey margot — glad ya liked it. it’s another one i heard on kpig when i was up on the mt. how’s ohio tonight?

Still snow-covered tonight Suz; we ended up with around 19″ after the storm this weekend. It sure was beautiful while it was coming down, but there are of course the attendant problems in the aftermath ;-)

Hey Margot :-)

you better!!!
now that you say it I need to fill mine for the night… at least we will be getting more Sun every day…slowly but surely will warm up…

that’s too much snow all at once for sure ll. remembering how california drivers were about driving in the rain (rain – so whattabout the rain – what do ya mean i shudda slowed down)… i don’t envy those who have to get out and about in snow.

It really was too much snow at once, and it’s very unusual for December around here. We have had monster storms like this in Jan/Feb, but this was one for the record books!

Hey Suz,

update on job search:
Startup I interviewed with Oct 30 hadn’t been responsive to a polite email 2 weeks after supercomputing conference, I called 10 days after, 45 second phone conversation where I was told they prefer another candidate. Something didn’t smell right about that call and I’ve got a former colleague that’s doing business with them sussing what really happened (He’s a marketing VP for another HPC company, doing some joint marketing projects).

No followup from phone interview done last day I was at SC.

Another former colleague posted that he needs a pre-sales engineer in the bay area covering 3 government/edu sites. I’ve applied, no clue on their time frame, but it strikes me that they want to hire before the merger is finished… and the EU looks like they’re going to approve it.

I’m hanging in there.

I should say that the upside is everyone in the greater DC area will have a white Christmas :-) It’s not melting anytime soon!

hey wmd — i’m so sorry that it didn’t pan out. still got my fingers and toes crossed for ya dood

As far as music: KPIG seems to be getting a lot of requests for Bob Rivers.

of course, it probably won’t be as white christmas as it was when it fell. ain’t nothing sadder looking than dirty city snow

i love walking ’round in women’s underwear

Aloha, LL and Suz and nahant and ya’ll…! ;-)

That’s life. Something’s going to come through soon.

Hey, I thought this was Bowser?

aloha ct — how’s paradise tonight?

Aloha CT!

Me too!

hahahhaha hey emerson — how’s the east bay tonight dood?

ha! hey kelly – how’s denver tonight? stephanie arrived safely in ks with that storm chasing their car as they headed east — they won :)

Pretty funny song although I wonder why it’s been getting so many requests.

Not a very good vid, but here’s one of my all-time fave Christmas songs:

The Kinks – Father Christmas

the 12 pains of christmas

East Bay is rockin around the Christmas tree. How’s you?

my fav

Aloha CT :-)

netarts bay is having a silent night tonight.. i can hear the roar of the ocean on the other side of the spit

Heya all. *yawns*
I’ve been mostly quiet around here. Too much venom during the day on this site. Sorry to say but its gotten me to wander around a bit more. Much less all the work ‘ve been getting and starting up a weekly or biweekly (haven’t made up my mind yet) show for Radio Riel. I’ve got the concept down, i just need to get the details done. That will be for after the new year though. Family time this extended weekend, and then back to work.

They’ve been playing Chipmunks too. Bob Rivers sure does some good stuff.

hey alias — its been a bumpy ride this week. nice to see ya here on the dark side of the lake again

i really miss kpig (sigh) they had the best christmas songs. most of the ones i’ve posted here at the lake were tunes i heard on kpig

Oh that’s good stuff!

Niiice! Mix in a fire and some sipping brandy and you have a perfect night before night before night before Christmas.

it what i led off with when i started this non-traditional christmas song theme i’ve been doing all month.

got the fire and my cup of coffee :) 21 years ago tonight, i went into labor — stephanie turns 21 on 12/23 — lots of memories floating around tonight

Hiya pups!

probably the only christmas song with tampons in the chorus.

I first heard that one on WFHB in Bloomington IN.

KPIG is available on the net. Automated night programming now, fscking Mapleton never would have been able to do this while LEH was alive.

hey sunny — how’s your corner of the world tonight?

i do not like the computer dj — forking mapleton *spitting*

the bright and cheery side o’ the lake!

My son is asleep about 20 feet away, nice to have him visiting for a few days. He heads to AK on Thursday, wants to come to Cali again for spring break.

Ever see this memory?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgoGX9IMH60

*waving at Sunny*

we haz a new car!

that must be one of the best feelings — being able to look over at him any time ya wanna :)

Thanks Suz. This christmas is going to be hard for my family. I look forward to the time with them regardless. But we lost so much this year. I’m hoping 2010 treats us better. We need a little sunshine after all this time in the gloom.

hahahahah no i haven’t seen that before

Ralph is on at 6:00 AM, live DJs until 8:00. LEH’s daughter Ellie Mae has lunch shift.

whoohoo!!! yay!!! about forking time that got settled.

ya liked the drive i take it :)

hi LL. Got a kitty pic to share?

yup — i love real dj’s at nite. martin and his overnites. unka sherman with dirty boogie on sat nites. fresh pork chops at 9pm.

Tonight I had dinner in the Midwest with my right wing brother. We stayed off of politics or issues and talked about my trip to Italy.
I did not want to talk about health care or Obama.

Excellent find!

Because Santa Cruz and KPIG listeners are composed of some really, really loose, out there, crazy and got nothing to lose combinations of libs, progs, gays, lesbians, libertarians, lonely yet social recluses, and in general, free thinking and whacked out lovely people . . . . course, there’s the crazy one’s too . . . ;-)

we all have been battered around this decade. i’m really looking forward to the start of this century’s second decade — sure could use a little good news today

Beats him being at al Taqaddum like 2 years ago. His IRR responsibility ended in March.

On a light note – he said they got snow while he was there, like the commercial where the kid asks Santa for “something for his dad”. Mentioned it to me while we were watching football and commercial came on.

One of the FEW XMAS songs I can stand to this day, be they trad or rock nouveau.

A GREAT song.

Nicely struck, LL.

larue! dood — how’s sac tonight? still got maters?

No new kitty pics lately, haven’t been doing much with the photography — but picture her perched on the back of her favorite chair and all curled up in a fluffy ball, which is what she’s doing now ;-)

yay!

Ok, LL had one of two . . . . ;-)

Thanks my friend, glad you like :-)

[Suz - modnote; letting you guys know, the contact page for Lisa at La Figa doesn't provide an email-able address]

Thank you, sir!

(return bow)

YAY!! You got the beamer, Sunny?

What would Christmas be without The Waitresses?

the fdl about us contributors page is where ya shudda been lookiig dood… scroll down to l

Hey, Smiley, that’s a youtube link… :)

They automated over night before Laura died . . . . I believe. A year or so before, if I’m not mistaken.

Course, they also offed Dallas Dobro, and Ramblin Ror, while Laura was at the helm.

And I won’t go into why my radio background leads me to hate what Mapleton has done to KPIG and killed it, completely, or how short the playlist is and how it’s controlled and how it was different long ago.

And let’s not forget Karson, the BEST overnight DJ ever outside of Vaco on KSAN, and then the best afternoon DJ at KPIG. He used to be able to spin records, of his own, like they all did . . . free form, built on their talents and ability to make it flow whether they worked on the show or came in fucked up to the gills and still got it done.

Fuck Mapleton.

*heh* Ain’t that the truth…! Over 800 comments today on Jane’s ‘Why I went on Faux Spew’ thread…! I got lost around 500 or so…! ;-)

or the trainwreck riders?

It’s hurtin on the non-rebels, ain’t it?

GOOD!

look again – i fixed it

and the horse they rode in on

It was great…!

Suz did you get pressed into Mod duty for the massive influx…? ;-)

evening, Suz

hey ppd — how’s the south south bay tonight?

I’ve got fingers crossed for you too.

Sigh, a little green still alive down below the side of the door that is in the ground. One of them made themself’s plants.

The rest are dead, and we plucked all the green fruits off.

Got some of them still ripening in the window, about 30 of them (yellow pears) . . .

Sniff.

*G*

the mod squad has been strapped in all week — and it is only tuesday *whew* ya know that thread is still going?

Mkay. But contact info for her needs fixed at her “contact/tips” page, whoever is responsible for that.

Right now it says:

give.a.fig.la.figa@gmail.com.

Bravo!

watching the origami program on independent lens

or Christmas at K-Mart?

thanks kelly — i’ll pass it on

My recollection is the automation happened after she died. I’d been cohabitating with the production director and her children until a year before LEH passed… I’ve got some perspectives on Dallas and Ror that I’ll keep to myself as it is personal stuff that was shared in confidence.

KPIG isn’t the same as it was that’s for sure. Still a pretty eclectic commercial radio station.

Mapleton really didn’t (doesn’t) get it. Putting them on air in SLO, Chico, east bay (AM station) was great, cutting promotions, not doing “Humbug Hoedown”, SC county fair… they even stopped T-shirts for a while. Trust fund baby didn’t know what he was doing… New Wave (former corporate owner) wasn’t much better.

the real slim santa

Ahh, now I can let my hair down!

Weee!

they switched to no more night time after laura ellen died — was in the process of closing down the evenings when i moved outta ca july/aug of 08

The drive….and hours of screwing with ministerial minutia.

I hear ya. I read a post at think progress about how people saw this decade. For so many here in the US It has gotten. worse. And I think about the people who made it worse, not just for US but for other people.

I should focus on things that are going to generate good things but a big part of me want to bring to justice the people who took us to an unneccessary war, and didn’t pay for it. How to bring the banksters to justice? I want justice and my money back.
BTW, Accenture pulled their support for Tiger. What people probably don’t know is that Accenture was the consulting arm of Authur Andersen Accounting. The consulting firm helped create some of the crazy schemes Enron used. They simply changed their name and the Accounting half of the firm took the hit.
They should have born the shame of Enron. But name changes work with the
media.

Heh! Love it!

Yay! Merry Christmas Kelly :-)

hey spocko — how ya doing tonight?

Christmas Boogie

sweet!

The 12 days of Christmas — Bob and Doug McKenzie style

That’s how I remember it too. Frank wasn’t in a good state to tell corporate to GTAFFIARD (last 4 initials are “In a Rolling Donut”, figure it out :-) ) for some time after laura ellen died.

*heh* Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea going into the belly of the beast…! ;-)

I’m a little disappointed with some former Lakers grumbling about it…

Kay in Maine…

Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake despises Caroline Kennedy but loves sitting down with Fox News!

…Little Green Footballs at this point has more class than Jane Hamsher and Fox News combined!

nite pups…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

ooooh good one margot

Hose off… Eh…? ;-)

g’nite nahant

Suz !

Merry Christmas Friends !

12 Days of Christmas, Canuck style … takes real talent to get “Beer” into a classic holiday song. *g*

night Nahant

I promised Suz a bit of a comment, here it is.

Earlier I was listening to http://www.bootliquor.com

Outlaw country americana whackaloon from Guthrie, to Hank Sr to those you never know to Texas Tornados, to Rosie Flores, to Hank 3.

They were playing a Freddy Fender song with the Tornado’s, and his voice, crystal clear and so damned FINE!

So here’s a bit of Freddy, although I couldn’t find what I wanted. Freddy, Knockin On The Door, In His Grey Freddy had pipes, and most folks know him from When The First Teardrops Fall, and other of his solo hits in the 70′s and early 80′s. Women threw their panties at him, it was part of going to see him. I wonder if Kelly ever saw Freddy, and threw HIS women’s underwear at Freddy? *G*

The other thing that I thought of when I heard Freddy’s pipes croonin earlier tonight was, this guy Raul Malo, of The Mavericks, who ALSO has that VOICE, that voice, polished, smooth, like 300 year old Cognac, smooth, to be savored at every nuance and note.

Raul Solo.

My point, Suz?

Both these guys could sing the white pages out of the telephone book and make it sound like opera.

I’ve not known that either of them ever sang together, but can you imagine if they had?

Those two voices? Together?

Men would throw their wives underwear at them.

*G*

don’t forget the self-dispensing brain bleach button ct

mod squad has been bathing in the stuff

petro! how’s the great north tnoght?

{{{ LL }}}

Here’s your chilled Leffe !

freddy fender had a great voice. and i love raul’ voice — had never thought about how they would sing together…

Let me reiterate… Hose off…! ;-)

Let me tell you guys something….

So 5 years ago, Belch finally came out to his family.

3 Years ago, we finally had a family reunion here, at our house.

We realized, Belch’s parents needed to have help, yanno, move into assisted living.

And we just got that 2 weeks ago. And they’re doing so well, and they’re happy and adjusting, and I simply can’t tell you what a joy it is, even though we have some more work to do.

But I think we captured a bunch of the thinking, when we finally all got together back in 2006. And here’s the scrapbook of that if you care to look.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxnXyXmrhq8

Merry Christmas, Petro!

(((( Petro!))))

Thanks for the Leffe…it’s been a while ;-)

ppd — origami just started up here.. switched over to it.. thanks for the recommendation

We’re in the holiday spirit[s] … *Hic* … *g*

Thanks to all the mods here for the quality of work they do. having to read unexpurgated vitriol that I’m sure is heading Jane’s way … I’m glad I just see the redacted version.

{{{ Merry Christmas Margot }}}

love the intro dood — and that is a great video

Leffe makes very nice ales.

on behalf of the mod squad — thaks wmd. there are a lot of behind the scenes folks who keep this place going

LKeychriiiiissst, dawg as my witness, I meant Raul Malo . . . . sigh.

800 comments, huh ? Great to see so many well wishers acknowledging Jane’s good work !

*ducks and runs*

But seriously, this is where the fight begins … for real Health care and also for the America of tomorrow.

Hope and change ain’t only for election campaigns …

Hah! New one on me. although we had the Chipmunks 45!

Speaking of which… 800+ comments appeared… How many got hoovered up as well…? ;-)

merlot? (laughing)

G’night all, a very busy Wednesday is ahead of me before I head out of town for a quick family Christmas celebration.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas, and looking forward to a hopeful and happy New Year…

*fingers sealed*

‘Course, Christmas is not a happy time for some folks … Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

I’ve got personal experience of the professionalism and fairness of the mods here. You do a fine job.

g’nite ll — may you have the merriest of merries and the best that the new year has to offer

*Mwaah* … Happy 2010 !

May your Stein runneth over … *g*

Dood, sent chocolates to Lurk earlier!

Really! We did!

Mele Kalikimaka, LL…! *g*

I just wanted to leave a hat tip to Jane H. for not settling for “it’s the best we can do so shut the fuck up”. She’s a tough broad, and I mean that in most complimentary Mickey Spillane way.

Merry Xmas, little fire doggies ;-)

I’m sure you’ll find it interesting, Suz

Like Yul Brynner in The Ten Commandments — So let it be folded, so let it be done.

Yep.

I guess I can say this in here.

I WORKED with the present Mapleton CFO.

He was hideous, at the group I worked for, and was booted for a number of reasons including collusion to siphon off revenue and start another station.

He landed in AZ I think it was, and then Mapleton picked him up. Likely because he had experience with transferring a group of stations from live all around to automated and satellite distributed.

So as a CFO, he advocated the slash and burn of live dj’s and all that went with it.

Perfect Mapleton material, the fuckwad.

hey calming influence — nice to see ya here in late late nite. merry christmas to you and yours

I was #813 when I left an hour ago or so! *G*

Damn Nathan got the #800. *G*

lurk bogarts

Merry Christmas to everyone. It is so nice to have you all to talk to. Thank you for being here!

Especially if it had pecans in ‘em too…! ;-)

Suz, you and the Mods have been doing great work all year long.

We’re so fortunate to have all of you keeping order, thank you all very much !

merry christmas margot — thank YOU for being here.

i do have to tell those who are not going to be here thur nite — i’ve got a special one planned for xmas eve…

That’s a great video memory! Very touching and nice to see at Christmas time.

Can you blame Lurk? No!

kind of a metaphor for congress – KPIG and the other New Wave Broadcasting stations were not able to go independent (KPIG maybe, the other stations no way). Mapleton was a lessor evil, certainly better than the evil empire (Clear channel).

Obama was (is?) better than the alternatives. And he’s still a fully owned politician.

I’m +2, so this analogy might be less cogent than I think it is…

NOooooooo … I will make a point to check it out early Christmas morn.

Lurk bogarts, does he? Well I have some lovely pecan double fudge brownies here but
Oops, someone already ate the last one.
(burp)

yes i can … chocolate smears and smudges all over the modcom and didn’t even leave me any

fork

Here’s the love for the mods…

Thanks.

I only wish Belch and I had met earlier, and that his parents were taken care of earlier.

We managed to avert some misery for them.

and don’t forget to watch the Letterman Christmas show tomorrow nite. Darlene Love rockin it!

Well, then you got cred I can’t touch as far as timelines . . .

Are we talking automation from midnight to 6am? I am.

Are you talking about automation from 8pm to 6am? I’m not.

Are they different? I recall they are . . . . am I wrong?

Thanks for your input, we agree on the fuckery of ruining a good thing.

So, you might know of the CFO dude I speak of?

And I’m not gonna ask what you know about Ror or Dallas.

From all I know of Dallas from Berry Fest and his comments on and off stage to folks, he was screwed.

Ror, I know someone who knows Ror close, and says HE was screwed.

Did they try to pull some stuff on Mapleton WRT losing status, benefits and more? Sure they did, I wouldn’t respect them if they hadn’t.

MY understanding, they were marked from the get go, wouldn’t follow LE’s husbands coaching, and got sold out as Mapleton cut costs.

And why DID all this happen?

Because Mapleton, and their new CFO, envisioned building up a satellite based group network of stations and cheap signals, inflating their worth, and selling it all for a profit because ANY transmitter/stick increases value over time.

In order to do that, they had to cut operations costs, make the books look like they were a lean and efficient radio machine just like others. And inflate value of what they owned.

And then, shit went to hell. And so did their plans.

thanks — i thought i had missed it — thought it was fri before xmas … whew

Didn’t they automate overnight first? Before the 8pm automation?

got rid of martin and went to auto at nite and then later auto started at 8pm instead of midnight

Sigh, foreigners.

“Take off, hoser.”

Sigh . . ;-)

Blew my mind thinking of it . . .

BTW, the piano in the picture with Belch and his sisters as little kids, by the Christmas tree, is the exact same piano as in my house today.

the same piano you have played in ur utubes?

Nah, I managed to spell his name right twice, go figger . . *G*

They let thru some I’m amazed at . . . *G*

Some day, I’m gonna WRITE that soap opera . . . lol

Bravo, to both of you !

My recollection was Martin was doing midnight until 6:00 shift until after Laura Ellen passed. I’m not certain of it though, as I wasn’t living with the PD after July 2005, and she got laid off May 2006 for pretty much the reasons you cite. After May 2006 I pretty much didn’t get any information about goings on with Mapleton/KPIG.

The CEO/Chairman is not a good business man (I put him down by calling him a trust fund baby earlier) could very easily have been led down the primrose path you describe by the CFO. I may have met the CFO at a christmas party in 2004 if he’d come on by then.

BTW, minor correction Frank and Laura weren’t married, just very long term cohabitation. Frank should have told Mapleton to Go Take AFFIARD. But grief is always hard and I believe Mapleton was ready to exploit it.

I still have two tv’s and a radio that I had in the 60′s. The tv’s don’t work now that everything has gone digital. I’ll miss them for the New Year’s football game bonanza.

I don’t make any comments on the sale of the group to Mapleton.

Only what they did to it all once they got it.

Buying and building and selling groups of radio/tv stations is a huge business.

I know, I’ve been thru two Spanish group builds and sales.

And yer sayin, and WMD is sayin, this was AFTER Laura died?

after laura died. martin was around for about a year or so and then poofed.

GOOD ONE MA!!

I’m so glad they have you guys. Bet they’re relieved.

ouch.. all caps… glad ya liked it. hey daughter — 34 minutes and you will be 21 years old stephanie

I was part of the KPIG family during the sale. So I was hearing about New Wave and Mapleton business as it occurred.

No doubt about the business aspects of it – Clear Channel is a large cap… New Wave, Mapleton are small potatoes 10M-50M size. Which is big deals for most people, flea bite size for CC.

Hey, the Christmas baby!!

Yes.

The same one I played to dedicate that youtube to you.

The same one that I played my Pink Floyd and my protest music on.

The same Damn Nebraska Flyover State Piano that somehow, yanno, doesn’t matter because going on Fox TV is heresy.

I get so goddamned mad! That fucking piano has been blue since frikking just after WWII. Belch’s dad bought it in 1950, and learned RACHMANINOFF on it!

The People in NE, CO, WY, etc are NOT enemies! There’s tons of us who are Doing The Right Thing.

Same thing goes for others in challenged states.

I guess I’m just tired, really.

Thanks hoss . . . time has frazzled my memory . . . as to the CFO hire, he came after they had decided what to do.

Unless, his pre hire and interviewing process was how he sold his schictk to Nathan Mapleton.

But my frazzled brain tells me they were headed to satelling dist. before the CFO was hired.

I don’t know . . . guess it don’t matter, any of it.

KPIG WAS, and it ain’t what it was . . . and it was always one day’s revenue from dying.

Hell of a ride for those who were and are a part of it all.

Radio, it was dying long ago . . . it killed me in ’03.

I had a good 5 years though, growing thru it all . . . time to move on.

It was amazing!!! Technically, where I am right now, I would be 21… :D

I need to get some sleep. Good to talk with you Larue.

Suzanne, thanks for the good wishes and always a pleasure to talk with you.

Good night all.

i forgot to count ahead when she was planned. thank goodness she was born 2 days before christmas and not on christmas day.

Thats me!!! Stephanie (Charlieholms) the Christmas baby, this is what I am notorious for…I came home in a stocking :D

well it aint official until its pacific time since you were born on the west coast

g’nite wmd

That would stink if I was actually born on Christmas….

tis true — at 9lbs 10 oz she darn near didn’t fit the stocking the hospital provided.

‘K, thanks . . . brain is poofed after all them years . . ;-)

:D mmk, well, good night mom, thanks for laboring me :D G’night pups!

g’nite and happy 21st birthday stephanie — love love

Definitely. My nephew was born Dec. 28 and we say the same thing. He says, “you guys are tapped by the time my b-day comes around.”

Actually, we have 5 b-days between Christmas and Jan 19.

Thanks mom :D

Hi/Bye Steph!

Sorry I was all wrapped up for a bit there. Hope your drive goes sweet.

yikes!

That’s where I put my foot down- You’re too young for stockings!! *g*

Happy Birthday Steph !

ha!

Happy birthday, Stephanie!

Did on last peeksi poo at this before I was going to shut down for the night. Thanks, we did end up winning the race (with the storm) to Kansas, we are safe :D and warm :D :D and Petrocelli, thanks too for the b-day wishes :D

21. Wow. Congrats to daughter and mom.

At 21, my father came to where I lived and knocked on my door.

I was in school, working, and had NO schedule, so I don’t know how he ever knew I was home.

We went down the road a few blocks, he bought me my first legal drink.

Whiskey neat, Daniels. With a beer.

He had Daniels, with water. Only one each.

He wasn’t much of a drinker, if at all.

He went out of his way to do this.

We chatted. Left.

Wasn’t but months later how much I realized, how much that had meant to me.

IGBOBLAB.

21. Wow.

*handing ya kleenex*

Nite and happy b-day,Stephanie!

When I waa 21 I was going to school in downtown NYC and working uptown across from the museum at 79th and 5th Ave. I was making a bunch of money (at that time) $175/week. Bought my dad a snowblower for Christmas.

Sniff, thanks . . . sniff.

She’s just a KID!! bawling . . . . lol

Did we just have a FDL birthday party?

when i was 21 i was working as a legal secretary and hadn’t been carded since i was 16. being 5’10″ and 120 lbs i looked a lot older than i was (edit) was in san francisco at the time

i think we did ppd

At 21, NYC would have killed me in two days.

Hell, it would kill me now in two days.

The burbs in CA were nice and safe for me, I had enough issues dealing with coming from SE Asia and figuring out life in USA . . . by 21, I was still trying to figure shit out . . . and survive on my own. And running wild, of course.

NYC would have killed me, I was so stupid and naive . . .

I am SO going to make CharlieHolms have a damn cookie when she drives by here, instead of spending all her damn time in KC. Arrgh.

Nah, you would have loved it! We used to take the bus into the city from the Jersey burbs starting in 8th grade. Went to concerts all the time, Knick games at Madison Square Garden. Met and Yankee games. Later Broadway shows, the Village.

You woulda fit right in.

SE Asia??

flashmob

Ok time to shut it down, honey’s off work till Monday . . . we got STUFF to do tomorrow!

See all you Pups round the threads tomorrow and thru the holiday . . .

Bless the mods for hoovering, and I don’t WANNA know what they cleaned up given what I DID see left to read . .
