Subject: Re: 1992 - The Net.Year in Review


I think we are all glad to see that Louie is back, right :-) :-) :-).  In the
past we have seen our sweet little Louie say bad things about people like
"Dear Mr. Taper", yet in 1992 we see Louie choose the company of Dear Mr. Taper
 over Joe.average.net.head.  But then again, if he chooses to hang with people
like "Dear Mr. Taper" he can post there stuff like.  "Hey does anybody know
that dude Chris from UCSD.  He says he's 6.2 235 lbs and wants to beat me up.
Is he really that big?"

Louie, You told us all how shitty this place was.  When you told us that though
 you didn't mention what you were comparing this place to.  I think part of the
 shit on the net is the garbage which YOU have posted in the past where you
self-righteously tell other people what is 'correct'.  In my eyes Louie, you
have NO idea what could possibly be 'correct'.  Yet you arrogantly feel as
though you know more than all of us, right?  Oh yeah, that's because you were
around back when it was net.gdead, right?  I'm sure there were self-righteous
fools around since day one on the earth though.  Get a clue Louie!

Well Louie, what is your reason for taking an attack at me now?  Is it so that
maybe you can add some more garbage to the net now?  Maybe you know realize
that your little secret hiding place isn't as special as you once thought?
Maybe, for you to make your little place a little better, you can trash our
place and comparitively make your place better?  We *KNOW* the way you think
Louie.  Your actions have shown us what your character is really made up of.
I say either add something worth reading to our collective conversation, or go
back to your little net.masturbation.trip in your secret (Oh yes, some have
corrected me here.  I mean 'CONFIDENTIAL' ;-) society.

I've seen it as filler. Mine's labeled "Fireside Theatre - 1972". Always
figured it to be a hilarious gag by some mime troupe of sorts.

For the interested parties it is a book that is available in the Children's
Section of most bookstores. It is an anonoymous non-fiction book about a 
13 year old and drugs. 

As far as the facts, read it and decide. I think it belongs next to 
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by HST.

I have been reading in this group for about two months now, enjoying the

in my mind which i have tried to overlook. What are you all talking about when
you use the abreviation FAQ. I tried to pretend i didn't care, or didn't need 
to know but I guess I was lying to myself as i have finaly snapped. 
I NEED TO KNOW. I have figured out many of the abreviations used for myself 
(thanks for the applause :) .) but for my continued enjoyment of reading what 
heads all over the world have to say I'd really appreciate understanding what 
you are all talking about.

Sony WR570 dual analogue deck with HX pro, Dolby B and C. Makes pretty 
good copies. Will handle metal tape, but I prefer XLII-S. These are 100 
minute shows, right? I would be willing to make two copies of each tape.
Blanks or trading is fine, my list is small, you'd probably want blanks.

Thanks for the offer.

Did anybody else notice the over-the-stage camera shot of the
oriental rug on stage during the spinal tap reunion video that was
aired on new years eve?  I believe that they showed it during the
60s take-off song, "Listen to the flower people".  Kind of reminded
me of another band if you know what I mean.  Nigel's lengthy guitar
solo was quite amusing as well, he set the guitar on it's stand and
was throwing horse-shoes around the neck while it was squeeling feedback.

Also, at the small new years party I was at we whipped on a live
version of Sugar Mag right around midnight.  Next year I'm bringin'
some balloons to pop :-)

|clench-yer-fist-and-get-pissed story about how he sold LSD once and is now

The CBS lady was saying that it's not really fair to count the weight
of the paper when weighing LSD.  She asked the DEA guy if he thought
that was fair and he quickly switched it around and said to ask the
parents of some teenager who is freaking out and ends up with brain
problems.

The DEA's opinion is basically, 'if you want to play, you gots to pay'.

Of course, if they didn't weigh the paper, couldn't they just raise the

That's correct... the TIdewater exchange was most of the Virginia Penninsula

I just aquired a very, very nice tape from 28Jun74 Boston Garden, set II.
I assume it is a WoS AUD. I had a poor quality tape of the same show for 
some time and I am happy to get this one. 

Is set I to this rare? Or does anyone out there have it? I have plenty 
to trade.

I also need a venue for a Jethro Tull tape that I just received. It is 
a SBD of some sort labelled 15Aug76. It is a 90 min tape that starts out
by fading into Thick as a Brick. I can dig up the setlist if that will help.

Couple more:
I have a Bela Fleck & Flecktones tape orignally labelled Greenacres, VA 91.
I don't have any Flecktones albums, so I am not sure of the setlist. It is
a very high quality tape, 2 90's. Anybody have any ideas on setlist or specific
date.

I have a Zappa tape that came labelled April 84, and that was it. It is a 
nice tape and show. The tape starts at the beginning of the show, with
Heavy Duty Judy opening into Carolina Hardcore XTC. Any ideas?

Just sent off a quarter of a thousand dollars to San Rafael today. AHHG!
Hope to see some Netheads in Atlanta and Chapel Hill!

I ordered a FREE copy of the Eurovan video and received it this weekend.
The video is pretty much 10 minutes of commercial fluff, but it has
one redeaming quality which makes it worth ordering.  The beginning
of the video is an original commercial for the microbus! It shows
a beautiful 23-window safari in all its splendor.  I'm afraid I'll
never be able to afford the Eurovan (rather have an old campervan
anyway)  But the video's FREEEEEE!

I'll try and find the 800 number to order the video if anyone's interested

announcement.

This is the Official Announcement for the Analog Tape tree for 12/12/92
and 12/16/92. The shows should fit on 3 110 minute tapes (metal) and
may fit on 3 100 minute tapes...I'll have to check...these shows are the
first and second half of the Oakland Darkstar this December.  This tree
was seeded by Steve Jeck, recorded frlom the tapers section with
Nakamichi CM-100/CP4 mikes onto a Sony D3 DAT.

I am not 100 percent sure about this, but I believe that one half of the seats
are available via mail order.  I think back in the olden days when MO first
began they even used to include a mention of this fact in the message.  I also
think they split the arena basically in half lengthwise (through the stage
and soundbaord), although they might do it via alternating rows.  I do know
that my MO tickets are invariably on the Phil side, while TM tickets seem
to congregate on the Jerry side, even those on the floor.

(you know, forty or fifty years from now we're going to have the words philside
and jerryside incorporated into the American lexicon, and we will also find 
ourselves saying things like "go about two blocks until you see a bank on the
philside.  Hang a jerry, and you can't miss it.")
