<meth> so anja, where exactly is this computer set up, and are there lots of other people gawking at you?
<whiskers> yay!
<woj> wish someone were broadcasting the show on the mbone...
<Choc_Chip> woj: i agree
<meth> yeah, like we;d be able to pic it up
<MiddlEast> yes, I have a crowd of gawkers, and lurkers. the computer is sitting at the left hand side of the stage (well, Happy's left)
<D^2> I guess Quicktime movies are out of the question.
* whiskers takes Fili with her :)
<meth> is it on the stage or next to it?
<MiddlEast> sorry. no quicktime capabilities.
<MiddlEast> it's right smack up against the stage.
<meth> next time ;>
<MiddlEast> you'll see it tomorrow.
<meth> wow... like in front of a stack?
<woj> meth, we could go to rutgers and watch. at least we'd get there befor the show ends.
<MiddlEast> Bob set it up.
<meth> woj, you could speak to me, we're only sitting three feet apart ;>
<woj> brown, not lovejoy.
<MiddlEast> uh, what's a stack? speakers? next to the speakers.
<meth> yes, speakers
* Fili thanks Urs, yet notices that his surroundings seem depressingly unaltered...

MikeH (grendel@unix1.netaxs.com) joins #ecto.

<meth> don't do that, the beer will get warm!
<Fili> anj: cool!
* woj thinks meth oughta worry!
<MiddlEast> jeff says "hi". he's roaming around with scarey telephoto lenses on his camera.
<D^2> hey, no fish! that's against the queensbury rules, i think.
<meth> are they lethal?
<Betelgeus> hi Meredith :)
* MikeH is more worried about the salmon going bad
<woj> least jeff's lenses aren't on his glasses.
* meth is more worried about woj going bad with the salmon
<Vickie> Is ItsyBitsy there? Did she get in?
* Betelgeus wondered if he should use his real name for a change, heh
<whiskers> Mike: only if you eat it :)
<Fili> meth: and you've still got a truckload of beer from that ectogathering, right? :)

* Garbanzo thinks about the headless woj mopping.

<meth> it went all directions at once
<whiskers> :)
<Garbanzo> you people are too funny.
* Garbanzo misses tamar.
<meth> happy's gonna love what she created here...
* woj thinks (with his virtual mind) that this is getting silly and reassembles himself.
<whiskers> did it bounce?
<woj> ah, that's better.
<D^2> It's net-Dead/Alive.
<meth> yeah, tamar is gonna be pissed that she missed this
<woj> flatliners!
<Garbanzo> I would give anything to see her face, while watching your comments scrolling past.
* Fili thinks of The Young Ones ("Bambi") with Vyv kicking his head along the train tracks...
* meth assures all that woj is really alive
<woj> maybe.
<whiskers> :)
* woj assures himself that he is alive.
<D^2> He's jacked into the matrix.
<meth> we can show her the log (is anyone logging this???) and she'll know that she is loved
* woj is.
<Garbanzo> thanks, meth. I was getting ready to call your local police and report the murder of woj.
<Fili> dave: sounds painful...
<meth> don't worry, Puck would have taken care of that already
<woj> murder? nah. self-implosion.
<D^2> hey, wOJ... your real name wouldn't be nicole, would it, meth?
<Garbanzo> could someone log the interchange at their end?
<meth> so when is this show supposed to get on the road?
Grocible leaves IRC: Ping timeout

<whiskers> Groc: it's ok, your other being's gone :)
<Grocibled> Last I saw was Vickie saying she'd created #ecto2
* meth <thwacks> woj again
<woj> woj = weird orange juice.
<D^2> IRC.. where stupid puns find a home.

<Grocibled> and then everything - everything went black!
<meth> no, it's weird old jock
<Grocibled> ahhhhh
* Garbanzo wonders what happy will lead off with, as well.
<Grocibled> hey Dave!
<meth> glad to see you made it through the abyss, Neil
* Grocibled waves at D^2
<D^2> grocery!
<Grocibled> bought Aphex Twin II today.
<meth> she might lead off with "Hold Me" like she did in Woodstock
<Betelgeus> Don, sorry, yep I got to see Paula when she was here :) and meet her and the others. Apparently she has a sister in Tucson
* Garbanzo is copying the cue sheet:

<Garbanzo> -encores-
<Garbanzo> closer
<Fili> groc: I wonder what the reason could be? :) :)
<D^2> cool, a NIN cover! :)
<woj> i think that having heard the new songs live *first* has made a difference in how i think about the tunes.
<Grocibled> is Garbanzo typing this so quickly or did she cut and paste?
<meth> this is like watching santa load up under the tree
<Garbanzo> there. now you have it. transcribed directly from the green cue sheet.
<Betelgeus> Don, coool... I had thought about giving her BtC but figured you had already :) Didn't get to talk to her too long but she knew who you were of course and that was a good starting point
<meth> i feel like we cheated
<MikeH> this is really depressing...
<Garbanzo> yeah, I agree, woj.
<Grocibled> martin is going to have a loooooong transcript when he gets back
<Betelgeus> Meth, Paula Cole
<meth> i repeat, paula who???

* Fili grocibles grocible, and wonders if his /nick will change back again :)
<meth> yeah, but at least here we know what to say to each other
* whiskers used to like P. Abdul, but got better :)
<Grocible> woj: no we'd have to ask Happy if she's bi or lesbian
<Grocible> thank you meth :)
<Vickie> WOJ, if you're not there taping the show...WHO'S TAPING THE SHOW??
<meth> no, we'd have to ask Happy is she has a thing for trees
<woj> groc, hah! udos to you!
<woj> vickie, um, i dunno. i plan on taping tomorrow for sure.
<meth> with our luck, she does ;>
<Grocible> oh yeah. :) "Do you feel sexual attractions to plants, Happy?"
<D^2> if happy could be any vegetable, which one would she be?
<meth> ooooh, good point... who is taping the show?
<meth> she'd probably be a good rutabaga
<Betelgeus> Don, yeah... though I didn't get to see much of Jefferey because in order to meet Paula I had to leave the stage area.
<woj> a rutabaga.
<whiskers> she'd give a shallow answer first :)
<woj> or a rhubarb.
<Grocible> "Do you like Rhodes pianos?"
<meth> so is paula cool, Alex?
<woj> rhubabr, don't bother me. rhubarb, don't bother me.
<meth> rhubarb isn't a veggie, is it?
<refm> Alex: jeffery was really good , I was u\impressed.
<Grocible> "Do you wish Zimbabwe was still called "Rhodesia"?"
<D^2> rhubarb.. isn't that a transvestite pop singer?
<whiskers> meth: no not really :)

<Vickie> And he's thinking about subscribing. I hope he does
<Grocible> David Dalton can be OK, but sometimes he just goes on and on and on and on.
* woj thinks david dalton is a needed diversion from "is sarah bi?"
<meth> he would probably be fine one cto, but the climate on fte isn't conducive to that sort of thing that he does

<Grocible> wasn't in the audience. So it could've sucked.]
<meth> (don't want to hear it just started on the tape -- a blistering version if ever there was one)
<Grocible> Hap
<D^2> cool
<meth> awwww
<meth> Happy, here's a message for you: YOU DON'T SUCK.
<Grocible> meth: Holly is at home I suppose. Baltimore.
<D^2> No, Primus sucks.
<meth> couldn't find a ride?
<MikeH> every time I hear that title, I think of the Minor Threat song. :-)
<Betelgeus> heh, amazing mail while on stage.... how talented can one person be!
* Betelgeus chuckles
<Grocible> meth: couldn't find the dosh ($) :(
<meth> was she singing as she posted? :)

<D^2> Talk about multi-tasking.
<Grocible> well it's hard to type and play guitar simultaneously I suppose.
<woj> she's bilingual?
<woj> (no, sarah is!)
<Grocible> or just bi?
<D^2> She's bi?!
* meth wonders if the non net.folk in the audience are wondering just what the hell that computer is doing there, and why happy is going over to it occasionally
<Betelgeus> bipedal?
<D^2> Ehhh, let 'em wonder.
* Grocible thinks he'll stop the bi cracks now.
<D^2> bistable?
<meth> oh stop it with the bi stuff, alread... do we want to start a nasty rumour???
<MikeH> bilateral?
<MikeH> YES
<woj> bipolar?

* meth is happy to hear that, grocible. :)
<D^2> yeah, your chances of getting a date go up dramatically!
<meth> but i still don't wear wool pants. ;>
<Grocible> At least, not in my opinion.
* Grocible used to wear wool trousers fwiw.
<D^2> They'd itch an awful lot, meth.
* Betelgeus wonders who may be watching us
<meth> yeah, and your chances for rejection go up dramatically, too
<woj> did they itch, groc?
<Grocible> Now I'm wearing jeans and discovering they wear holes much faster than wool trousers.
