This Saturday is the first of the month.
Will we be meeting? If so, where?

After Edwards' announcement yesterday, I know both Viva and I are desperate for a drink!

3. Shall we give this Saturday a shot?
If so, where? A golden oldie, like Lucky Lab or Goose Hollow? Or something new, like the Green Dragon Ale House?

Speak up, folks!

7. Sounds good.
If it's a solar-powered ale, does that mean it will provide us with Vitamin D and counteract Seasonal-Affective-Disorder?

:P

9. Welcome!
We meet at 4, but usually hang for several hours. I think the earliest we broke it up was about 8pm. Not unusual to be there till 9 or 10.
We're party animals! :rofl:

19. Here's to seein' ya there, probably
I'm torn... on the one hand, I have a mountain of homework breathing down my neck, and I'm tired.

On the other, I need to get the fuck out of my house and see some liberals and drink some beer.

I'll probably be there around 5ish. :D

21. My meeting finished early (shocked, I was) should be there 4:30/5:00
Che's in the hamper, so Powell's t-shirt, semi-shaggy brown hair (with a spot of gray), bi-focals, copy of The Nation (something to read on the bus). I look like an aging, down-on-his-luck nerd. Which is pretty accurate.

I've never been to the Lab. Smoking allowed on the patio? Or should I nicotine up before I get there? And what's a pint of stout cost? (me on budget, need to plan)

I'll chk back about 4, then I'm outa here.
Se yaz,
rich

25. Want a 2nd opinion, RR?
but crazy or not, you're right!

Loved meeting you all.


The video site I mentioned (all Firefly and American Gothic, free and streaming) is www.hulu.com

I haven't checked in awhile, but if the site says it's closed to registration (it's in beta) let me know and I'll see if I can wrangle an invitation.

I can't find my collection of links on the Tony Rezko story, (or stories) I can't search, but if you want to my username and "Rezko" you should find it. Just a collection of links, but from professional local media as the story broke. (The Sun, The Trib, ABC7)

About 10 different stories over 3 years. Interesting reading.

And I'm definitely down with RHPS next Saturday.

it's just a jump to the left

26. By golly ....
There it is ..... In all it's Moody, Blue reality ... Good Call ....

JK ... I love the Moody Blues ... "Question" is still the GREAT MB song of all time ....

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true.
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.


Yeah .... Moody Blues ....

27. btw. if you enter "gemini blues" at pandora.com...
they correctly identify the song, and build you a very nice radio station. Moody Blues, Genesis, T-Rex, The Paisleys, Yes...
...and the B-52's???

Thaks for identifying the song, it's now one of my stations. :)

29. I love Pandora, been using it since ~July/August. I have 10 - 15 stations set up
but last time I checked they still didn't have any option for classical.

Nice to meet you, hope you stick around.
