<deannak> Hmm...I wish that I could take one of the computer home.
<deannak> phone...be back
<Betelgeus> are you at the club?
<bobb> hi gang... Prism TV wanted me to log in to see if there is any
interference with there equipment
<bobb> I just got the word that they think we're fine...
<Betelgeus> Ah, I see, well it's pretty slot at the moment... that's good
to hear :)
<Betelgeus> slot=slow
<Betelgeus> So how are things looking for tonight's show?
<bobb> I've never seen so many cables running through such a little space
in my life... they have the recording truck outside
<Betelgeus> I'm sort of set up here to hold the channel open and oped
<bobb> I've got about 30 cables under my chair next to the stage
* Betelgeus chuckles
<Betelgeus> And how many cables do you have. heh ;)
<bobb> Right now the band is setting levels for the TV crew.... they are
going to have...
<bobb> one stationary camera and multiple rovers
<deannak> Well, that was my sister.
<deannak> Hi bobb...
<Betelgeus> BTW, I am logging this for posterity, have been for a bit
<deannak> How long do you think you will be on??
<deannak> make sure you do not get them wet....
<Betelgeus> Wow, sounds pretty elaborate
<bobb> Pretty exciting stuff... it'll be real interesting to see how
Happy reacts to all of this <g>
<Betelgeus> dee, most all night probably, though idle at times
<bobb> it's 6:20 here now... I'm going to go get a quick bite to eat at
6:30 and I'll be back asap...
<deannak> Well, I am going to go home and change clothes and get ready to
go to the movie
<Betelgeus> Okay, I'm holding the cannel open... feynman is away so if I
leave there will be no active ops
<Betelgeus> Are you going to leave it logged in and on?
<deannak> It is 5:20 for me...so you must be in the east part of the
state.
<bobb> great.. appreciate it...will see you in a little while - bye
<Betelgeus> take care bob
bobb leaves #ecto.
<deannak> who?
<Betelgeus> he was at the concert I was telling you about in email
<deannak> Okay..
<Betelgeus> they have a computer there, set up at the show
<deannak> I shall have to come back after the movie and see how it is
going.
<deannak> How do they play the music so?
<Betelgeus> It'll probably be pretty busy in here!
<Betelgeus> Well, Happy Rhodes will be playing as usual, and hopefully
sending us some messages from time to time
<deannak> okay...
<Betelgeus> Last night we had some glitches, like a crushed phone cable
there
* Betelgeus chuckles
<deannak> Hmm...I need to see this.
<deannak> me hugs you goodbye.
<deannak> argh

hours on end... well, don't wnt to be anyway
<refm> I know what you mean but since Happy may show up.....
<Betelgeus> Yeah, heh :) I started logging just before Bob showed up
<refm> What did Bob have to say tonight?
<Betelgeus> Well he was here to test stuff... the Prism TV crew wanted to

some food, but I'm doing various things now
<Betelgeus> Wish I could get IRC to echo the time every 10-15 miuntes for
the logging
<Betelgeus> Bob sent email to the list a while ago it looks like
<refm> What did it say? I haven't read my mail lately.
<refm> Maybe they are having trouble as I did w/servers.
<Betelgeus> It mostly said they were there at 4 and Prism TV was setting
up and that the show was sold out :)
<Betelgeus> I hope that's not bad for those travelling in to see her
* Betelgeus hopes they have tickets... but doesn't know if they were available
except at the door
<refm> I think they were available through ticketmaster.
<Betelgeus> That's good (sort of ;)
<refm> Yea they were quite expensive w/the surcharge.
Friday January 6 1995 -- 19:36 -05:00
<refm> So when you saw Paula did you get to talk w/Gerry or Eric the
guitar player adn prcussionist?
<Betelgeus> I imagine so :P I'm sort of surprised there aren't more
people on here
<Betelgeus> Yeah, especially Eric
<Betelgeus> Eric hung around after to eat and stuff so we chatted with
him
<refm> He plays the strangest stuff and makes em sound really good.

* Betelgeus laughs
<middleast> We're in the main stage area... the area is now shut off to
all until the doors open... apparantly Prism TV is ready... Happy is ready...
it's about 2 hours till showtime
<refm> Cool should be a good time!
<Betelgeus> That sounds good... relaxed I hope
<middleast> Hi, deepspace here... Here we go again!
<refm> Hi Bob its Don Gibson here.
<middleast> I saw Kevin downstairs...
<middleast> Hi Don!
<Betelgeus> Alex Gibbs here
<Betelgeus> Are they hanging out?
<Betelgeus> Don't let anyone step all over the phone cable! ;)
<middleast> Alex!
<refm> Say Hi to Wanda for us.
<middleast> Will do! I'm sorry she's not with me tonight...
<middleast> but one huge concert a week's her limit!
<refm> Ah Joanne says to say hi to you both.
<middleast> The band's having dinner downstairs...
<middleast> from a wide variety of spicy Middle Eastern foodstuffs...
<middleast> Hi Joanne!

<refm> She just bopped upstairs to take care of the boys.
<refm> Yea it would be nice to stray on-line tonight.
<refm> stay that is.
<Betelgeus> Dinner, hmm, what a good idea ;)
<middleast> I hope to be on keyboards a bit more tonight, but I'd prefer
bass!
<refm> Have it now Alex before the show starts.
<middleast> And speaking of bass...
<refm> How do you mean?
<middleast> Happy's new rhythm section really kicks!
<Betelgeus> Yeah, I probably will go make dinner in a sec
<refm> But I heard that the bass and drums drowned out Happy's sweet
voice.
<middleast> The bassist is truly inspiring; I'm awed!
* Betelgeus had heard that too
<middleast> Actually, that was the mixer's fault!
<refm> Right tell em to get it together tonight.
<middleast> I was so close that I got the stage mix!
<Betelgeus> A few of the people on their way to the show stopped in here
before they left
<middleast> With the Prism taping, it should be a better balance!
<Betelgeus> I hope so!

<middleast> Susanne White just arrived.
<Betelgeus> Either that or embarassed ;)
<refm> Great Alex is it an NPR station?
<refm> Hi Susanne!
<middleast> The motif tonight seems to be early Warner Brothers!
<Betelgeus> No, it's a commuity radio station... they put on Ingrid
Karklins when she was here
* Betelgeus waves to suzanne through the monitor
<middleast> SW has a Bugs Bunny vest, and there's a little Bugs on
Happy's Amp!
<Betelgeus> err, susanne
<refm> Whats up Doc.
<refm> Bugs is one of my all time faves.
<middleast> (thinking quick) I once had a sofa stuffed with updoc!
<Betelgeus> Was susanne responsible for the amp bunny too?
<refm> Hmm
<middleast> I don't know!
<Betelgeus> Hve anything to do with the guitar problem last ngiht? heh...
Jeff mentioned he said she should use energizer

summer.
<refm> mmmmmm good
<refm> So Alex did Paula really know who I was?
<Betelgeus> yep :)
<refm> I'm just curious she did give me her home address
<refm> Thats how I sent her BtC.
<Betelgeus> I can't recall exactly what she said but she knew who you
were
<refm> Have you heard from Gail at all lately?
<Betelgeus> No, but I owe her email so it's my fault
<refm> Gail sent me a copy of I am so Ordinary video
<Betelgeus> Really? cool
<Betelgeus> I guess I ought to write her! She's the one who got me into
the show free
<refm> Its really not that good, IMO, low budget.
<Betelgeus> I've been meaning to write her about the show and stuff
<Betelgeus> Plus Eric was interested in ecto
<refm> Great, yea she is really nice, I wwant to see how the Saturn Girl
Video is coming
<Betelgeus> I really like that song
<Betelgeus> It was one of the first that grabbed me
<refm> She is in charge of getting it together. That will be the next
single.
<Betelgeus> have you received a letter from Paula? How do you know about
this?
<refm> My fave is Bethlehem of course. But I do like her new songs
<Betelgeus> yes, that might be my fav too... it reminds me of me... or
chiaroscuro may be my fav
<refm> Gail told me most, I got a post card from paula thanking me for
the CD

<middleast> We're just getting the rules for security up near the stage
by the TV crew
<Betelgeus> Gail probably wonders why I haven't written, it's been a
month since the show
<refm> Did you Happyvangelize her as well?
<Betelgeus> well, I mentioned ecto... I thought about giving her BtC but
figured you took care of that
<Betelgeus> I talked to Eric about ecto more
<refm> Gail bought some Happy music (Equipoise) but didn't much like all
of it. I told her to try Warpaint next.
<Betelgeus> Paula needed to go since she wanted to spend time with her
sister, understandably, so I didn't get to talk to her too long
<Betelgeus> Oh, you mean Gail... well, I was the one who got Gail on ecto
and a.m.ecto
<Betelgeus> Gail sent me email first when I sent a letter to Imago that
had my email address on it
<Betelgeus> So then I asked her about posting dates for Paula and then
she caught on to ecto
<refm> Gail said she would see what she could do about Happy and IMAGO
but didn't know if Happy really wanted the hassles that went w/a label
<refm> So you were the one to turn her on to it Great!
<Betelgeus> yeah, I was rather surprised to get email back :)
<Betelgeus> I sent her some quotes about paula from ecto, and explained
what ecto was about (Happy for example :)
<Betelgeus> So you talked to PAula and I talked to Gail and it kind of
met up togeter
<Betelgeus> heh, I better write Gail before she forgets who I am ;)
<refm> Yea strange how those things work out. I told Gail I didn't like
the video and that it is such a great story but the video had nothing to do
w/the song. Haven't heard from her since.

night... then again maybe they have real (as opposed to virtual) things to do
on Friday, heh...well, some are there
<middleast> I think Prism is going to try... one of the camera guys is
right next to us.

bar...
<Don> Happy look a likes?
<middleast> I really should wear my glasses! Anybody know if she is
approachable?
<middleast> I don't think the look-alikes were deliberate....not like
Laurie Anderson clones...
<mortissa> or is it the girl from blossom
<middleast> just *ODD* coincidence, I suppose ;-)
<Don> or like when i was at the Hole concert
<Don> Lots of Courtney wanna be's
<middleast> <laughs> The girl from Blossom? Should I mention that
to Happy? <never saw blossom>
<mortissa> that is sad when people do that look a like thing
<Don> She knows
<middleast> Hole? How are they?
<mortissa> well from a pic i saw happy and her have the same nose
<Don> I thought they were good, Veruca Salt opened for them
<middleast> The, uh, rehearsal dress for Happy was a tank top and short
cut-offs.

<Betelgeus> Don: hahahah
<Don> So do we
<Betelgeus> bad pun!
* Betelgeus laughs
<middleast> betel, there is a bouncer keeping people away from the
terminal so we have room to type and so, more importantly the prism guy can
have an unobstructed view
<Betelgeus> Wow
<middleast> needless to say, once the actual filming starts i'll be well
away from here :)
<Betelgeus> We're being watched by prism tv now?

piquet (sherlyn@sydney.DIALix.oz.au) joins #ecto.
<middleast> no
<Betelgeus> re-piquet
<middleast> now the bouncer is making a wall around the terminal
<Don> Hi piquet
<piquet> hey again
<Betelgeus> boy you are bouncing tonight
<cosmo> this is so confusing...but here's a plot summary: Betelgeus
(middleast) is at some concert thing where Happy is playing and they have IRC
terminals available. Furthermore, Don is not ther and Vickie's neighbors are
on fire ...close?
<Betelgeus> a wall?
<piquet> i'm a little out of it to tell you the truth hehe
<middleast> he's using this big tube thing that's the length of the stage
and taping it down securely so people know not to cross the line
<middleast> the surreality quotient just increased by a factor of 67
<Betelgeus> close, but I'm not there either... just one terminal there
<cosmo> close enough :)
<middleast> well folkses, time for me to surrender the limelight to
another victim... have fun!
<Don> WoW SOS
<cosmo> where is the concer?
<Don> K enjoy the show! :)
<Betelgeus> See ya!!!
* piquet hugs betel
<cosmo> see yoa

<middleast> it's woj now.... wheee!
<Don> Hi woj!
<middleast> hey!
<Betelgeus> Hey woj... can you believe I've been on the computer since
you last saw me?
<Don> Watch out for that bouncer behind you.
* Betelgeus grins
<middleast> i'm not surprised at all, heck, we were on there forever last
night!
<middleast> bob's behind me.
<Betelgeus> true enough!
<Betelgeus> which bob?
<Don> Hi Bob
<middleast> they put up a barrier for the camera-dude
<middleast> (who is fortunately rather short)
<middleast> (probably a job qualification)
<cosmo> :)
<middleast> brown, bob.
<Don> :)
<Betelgeus> re-bob!
<cosmo> bob brown?
<middleast> wugga, it's hot - time to ditch the jacket.
* Betelgeus is trying to imagine all this
<piquet> is it just me or is everyone confused?
<middleast> the press of people is pretty heavy.
* Betelgeus blows a fuse
<cosmo> confused
<middleast> woj promises not to blow up this evening. ;)
<Don> I don't feel a thing do you Alex?
<Betelgeus> no, lots of space here

<middleast> they pushed everyone back for the camera

<middleast> they're getting ready to start. tension is rising.

(dripping), and one of the Red Cross guys was a Kate fan :-) He said "Wow, a
shrine!"
<Fili> How much longer will the concert go for do you think? I need to
decide if I can stay or not... :/
<K8_Fan> PMCohen: Really nice Web page, BTW.
<Betelgeus> I'll post more of the log now...
<K8_Fan> Really?
<Vickie> I went upstairs, what a mess. They even poked holes in the roof
to let fire and smoke out
<Fili> I found the "talk to my at" web-page from Paul's homepage :) :)
<Fili> erm "talk to my cat" I mean!
<Fili> "while I patch the damage, tell me of your escapades"
<Don> Well Bob whats goin on now?

<Happy_R> Happy just said "I've decided that I have buffoonery down to an
art.... just wanted to make that statment

can imagine that the cat is getting *quite* annoyed by this time.
<K8_Fan> some.

<K8_Fan> Buffonery is a grand, noble and ancient art.

* Fili 's CD player waits anxiously for instructions...
<K8_Fan> So, I come into this quite late. Happy has a lap-top mounted on
her mic stand,, right?
<K8_Fan> ...and is typing as she sings?

ENERGY!

everyone chit chatting for awhile
<Betelgeus> glad you're telling us when Happy typed!
<K8_Fan> This my well be a Net.first. Live reportage from a concert.

<Betelgeus> I will have the whole log in one big file
<Happy_R> This must be a first.... that was why Hap wanted to do it
<Don> History in the making.
<Feynman> What kind of connection do you have at the concert...
<Fili> certainly it must be unlikely that a performer has been IRCing
between songs before! :)
<K8_Fan> The whole concert is being videotaped?
<Feynman> is it slip or what
<Vickie> Bet, yours
<Fili> chris: yep!!
<Don> Yea
<Happy_R> Yes... the local cable channel is taping it for a broadcast in
March...
<Happy_R> Including the IRC going here!
<Betelgeus> Boy, I hope I can get a copy of that!!!
<Fili> :)
<Feynman> beat me to the question ;)
<K8_Fan> I can well imagine the smile on Vickie's face. (She's in Chicago
and I'm in Kansas City.)
<Happy_R> You will... count on me to provide some dubbing facilities
<Betelgeus> Should I transfer the posts to a.m.ecto?????
<Don> Great!
<Happy_R> Yes PLease!

<Fili> Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Betelgeus> yay!
<Joe_Zitt> Yay!
<Don> Stay now
<Happy_R> I'm sorry... we lost the connectio :(
<Feynman> kewl
<Feynman> it worked :)
<Fili> where's the concert at?
<Vickie> Hi again!
<Feynman> I hate having to hassle the irc ops :)
<Betelgeus> Yeah, it looked like IRC problemss
<Don> So whats happenin
<Betelgeus> feyn, cool!
<Betelgeus> :)
<Happy_R> The announcer is announcing that the show is going all over the
world via the Internet!
<Joe_Zitt> Yes! sort of....
<Happy_R> You're all on TV!
<Fili> well kinda :)
<Feynman> I can be a pain at times.. but its worth it... Right :)
<Fili> :)
<Don> Right On
* Betelgeus grins... again finally... I just posted first two logs to net news
:)
* Fili waves at the camera
<Joe_Zitt> Have them point the cameras at the screen!
<Betelgeus> so truely all over
* Vickie WAVES
<Don> So word of the show has gone out over the internet
<Joe_Zitt> I read the logs. Thanx Betelgeus!
* Betelgeus waves and :-)
* Feynman thinks we are making history... We should do the wave :)
*** Happy_R is now known as middleast
<middleast> I'll get some Ectophiles over here to report!
<Joe_Zitt> Synchronize your tildes!
<Betelgeus> wave across the world
<Fili> cool!
<Don> OK Get Happy while your at it. ;)
* Betelgeus grins
* Feynman gets Happy
<Feynman> oh oops never mind
<Fili> I think she qualifies as an Ectophile ;)
<middleast> meredith here, i am stunned and speechless
<Fili> hi Meth!
<Don> typeless too?
<Joe_Zitt> Meth! *HUG*
<middleast> it was a (pardon the french) fuckin AMAZING show
<Vickie> hi Meth!
<Feynman> I think we should give her the Ectophile Validity Test
<Betelgeus> Hey Meth :)
<Fili> meth: if woj messed up the taping can you send him here so I can
throttle him? :)
<Betelgeus> I think most of us are too
<middleast> jane_fan says hi
<Don> Hey Jeff!
<Fili> hey Jeff!
<middleast> as far as i know woj's tape came out, but we won't know until
we get back to the car
<Betelgeus> Hi Jeff!
K8_Fan (Chris@ttyva.tyrell.net) joins #ecto.
<Fili> re Chris!
<middleast> the bouncer went away so now we're being mobbed :)
<K8_Fan> Hi.
<Vickie> Hi
<Feynman> Jeff!!!!!
<middleast> hey vickie, how's your house???
<Vickie> Jeff!
<Feynman> :)
<Betelgeus> especially after that annoucement?
<Vickie> Hi Chris!]
<Betelgeus> News travels fast ;)
<Feynman> Hey ECtophiles all ober da World :)
<middleast> ACTION: meth is awed to be typing ont he same keyboard Happy
typed on ;>
<Vickie> I was holding and comforting the kittys
<K8_Fan> What announcment?
* Betelgeus chuckles
<Fili> meth: :) :) :)
<Vickie> Chris, i found the Other One
<middleast> padruga is here -- yay, we thought she might have missed it
<K8_Fan> Where was he?
<Betelgeus> the announcement that the concert was being sent all over the
world via the internet
* Fili waves to Val! *hug*
<Vickie> The ceiling is still there
<Feynman> Tell Pad I said Hi... And Jeff give her a hug from me :)
<middleast> now we're REALLY being mobbed - by ectophiles :)
<Feynman> kewl
<Vickie> HELLO HELLO HELLO!!
<middleast> greg (footah) bossert is at the show too
<Betelgeus> Hi everyone!!
* Feynman grins At Equipoise
<Don> Stand Back one at a time. :)
<K8_Fan> All RIGHT!
<middleast> vickie, was the fire bad above you? any damage to your
stuff?
* Fili waves at everyone!
<Joe_Zitt> I gotta go. I'll read the logs! *HUG* all!
Joe_Zitt leaves IRC: Joe_Zitt
<middleast> by joe
<Don> Bye Joe!
<K8_Fan> Haven't heard from footah in a long time.
<Vickie> Yeah, mainly water damage to the living room
<middleast> your living room?
<Vickie> our projector is toast, so are a lot of audio and videotapes
<middleast> oh, no... :( :( :(
<middleast> where's chris?
<K8_Fan> Any really important tapes?
<Feynman> That is what I thought
<K8_Fan> Kansas City.
<middleast> all tapes are important
<K8_Fan> Right here.
<Vickie> All my Happy audiotapes were *right under* where all the water
was coming down. Our living room looked like a rain forest
<K8_Fan> Oh man.
<middleast> eek- well, at least you can replace those straight from the
source :)
<Fili> Well *HUGS* to everyone! I really need to go! It's been an
experience to be sure, even from here :)
<K8_Fan> The hand made ones?
* Feynman hugs fili
<middleast> wait, your living room is in shambles and you're still on
irc? that's dedication :>
<Vickie> Bye Fili! *HUG*
<middleast> bye fili!
<Don> *HUGS* Fili cut those trees!
* Fili waves (and cheers for the Hapster & band!)
<middleast> will pass the cheers on, fili
* Betelgeus hugs Fili!
<K8_Fan> *I* found out about the fire via the Net.
* Fili fades away (off to work while the computer logs the session in my
absence :)
<Vickie> Well, after all the firemen and Red Cross workers left, there
wasn't much else to do :-) I'll start cleaning tomorrow
* Betelgeus just now let the pause go on Closer
<middleast> jongleur says hi and bye to fili
<Betelgeus> Chris, that might be another first!
<Betelgeus> During an LA quake I contaced people via the net... but that
was pretty common
<K8_Fan> Please do remember to soak the paper stuff. The audiotapes are
not ruined, as long as they are kept wet.
<Vickie> Chris was on line and I couldn't break through, so i got on
*his* account and sent him a talk message :)
<K8_Fan> A talk message from myself.
* Betelgeus grins
<middleast> everyone here sends best wishes, vickie, and glad it wasnt
worse
<Vickie> Because your message thing is turned off Chris. It refused
messages from my account
<K8_Fan> Really? I never set it to do that.

<middleast> <much laughter from the middle east re vickie's last
comment :>
* Feynman hugs mj
<K8_Fan> Oh, like you would be completely together?
<middleast> vickie, it's unanimous in philly, you have a one-track mind
:)
<Betelgeus> heh, Vickie
<Vickie> I was grabbing things, Kate photos, Happy CDs, stuffing things
into bags incase I had to beat a hasty retreat
<Betelgeus> :)
<K8_Fan> The photos behind the speakers are OK.
<Feynman> Save the important stuff :)
<middleast> i already know that if anything were to happen to my place,
my signed kate cd booklet hanging framed on the wall is the first to go out
with me
<Feynman> :)
<middleast> meredith is going to let someone else type... who's next?
HARBINGER! :)
<middleast> harb here.
<Vickie> Bye Meth!
<Feynman> Harb!!! :)
<Vickie> Hi Harb!
<K8_Fan> And the stuff on the diningroom sude of the wall is OK?
<middleast> (well, garbanzo/harb)
<Feynman> hey Harb
* Betelgeus wonders what happened to the 3rd IRC log sent to ecto
<middleast> hey
*** middleast is now known as Garbanzo
<Betelgeus> hey garb
<Garbanzo> tonight was great.
* Feynman sends hugs to Garb
<Garbanzo> I ripped the cue sheet off the stage. :)
* Garbanzo hugs back. :)
<Betelgeus> heh, is there anything left of the stage ;)
<Vickie> Ask someone there to pick me up one of those promos they're
selling
<Vickie> Or tell Hap to send me one
<Garbanzo> the sound was much better tonight; Happy's mike was much
louder.
<K8_Fan> The EctoMa Disaster Relief Fund.
<Betelgeus> That's good to hear (yeah, bad pun)
<K8_Fan> Send: CD's, Tapes, Posters...
<Garbanzo> meth says she or woj will get you one, vickie.
<Garbanzo> chris! hehehe
<Garbanzo> yes, alex, there are things left on the stage.
<Garbanzo> silly.
<K8_Fan> Makes me afraid of Happy coming to Chicago.
<Feynman> hey Garb Grab me a speaker would you
<Feynman> :)
<Garbanzo> it's weird to have woj, meth, me, padruga, jongleur, and
jane_fan all sitting around here.
<Garbanzo> (in person)
<Feynman> hehehe
<Garbanzo> legumes unite.
<Feynman> is Padruga there now?
<Betelgeus> What about the rest of the audience? they still around?
<K8_Fan> Give 'em all laptops and pass the ethernet wire around.
<Garbanzo> so they just kicked everyone except internet ectophiles out of
the room.
<Betelgeus> Or is it just the cool ones left ;)
* Betelgeus laughs
<Garbanzo> it would seem that they are unable to pry us away from this
terminal. :)
<Feynman> :) always the kewl ones
<K8_Fan> What, did they ask for e-mail addresses?
* Betelgeus wonders how they knew... heh yeah
<K8_Fan> Like at a WorldCon @ party?
<Vickie> Back. The downstairs neighbor knocked on the door. Apparently
her ceiling looks like it's ready to fall in too. All the water that came down
here, seeped through the floorboards and soacked their ceiling too
<Garbanzo> some of us are wearing smoe T-shirts. they are blue, and they
said the "blue shirts" can stay.
<Feynman> They gave a quiz... "Whats a ping time-out"?" :)
<Vickie> Thank Meth&woj for me!
<Betelgeus> maybe she should poke some smalle holes in it to let the
water out
<Garbanzo> meth says "huh? oh, ok. :)"
<Garbanzo> beetle: hehehe
<Vickie> Did Steve Van Devender make it?
<Garbanzo> padruga feels really bad for you, vickie.
<Garbanzo> chip is here. he says hi
<Vickie> Is Chip there?
<Betelgeus> Group hug for Chris N' Vickie!
<Feynman> Chip??
<K8_Fan> Hi Chip!
<Garbanzo> jinx!
<Garbanzo> :)
<Vickie> Hi Pad! Hi Chip! (no more Twin Peaks for a while)
* Betelgeus hugs Chris and Vickie
<K8_Fan> ...seperated by half the US.
<Vickie> Until we get a new Projector
*** Garbanzo is now known as Padruga
* Feynman Hugs Val
<Feynman> Padruga!!!
<Vickie> Hiya Valerie!
<Padruga> Hi everyone! *hug*
<Padruga> How was the view of the concert from here?
<Betelgeus> hi padruga :)
<K8_Fan> Hello.
<Betelgeus> Quiet unique! ;)
<Padruga> everyone is commenting on how fast I type. Too much Irc
* Padruga missed last night's show on here. :(
<Betelgeus> Many of us played the songs on our CD players

* Grocible waves.
*** Mode change "+o Grocible" on channel #ecto by Feynman
<Grocible> hi folks! :)
<Grocible> How was the show?
* Grocible predicts it was good. :)
<Padruga> Ack. They are checking on us... I don't think they believe that
we're really all ectophiles.
<Feynman> :)
<Betelgeus> it was great, and that was from Arizona
<Vickie> Someone should get Kevin or Happy to vouch
<Padruga> groc: It was _wonderful_, superb, special, beautiful, lots of
adjectives that have been given new meaning. :)
* Feynman vouches for the ones left... glued to the terminal
<Padruga> Bob vouched for us, vickie.
<Betelgeus> that's cool
<Grocible> Did Happy have anything to say?
<Vickie> good
* Grocible checks his mail.
* Feynman is gonna get some ice cream.. and check to see if his Snail came
today
<Feynman> brb
<Padruga> She made a strange comment: I have bufoonery down to a fine
art.
<Grocible> hm.
<Grocible> chandra didn't like it
* Grocible has a giant log from yesterday
* Betelgeus wonders if he really got the 3rd IRC log sent now... it's taking
too long
<Padruga> That was the most bizarre. That, and she had a Bugs Bunny doll
up on the stage all night.
<Feynman> almost left without my keys:/
<Padruga> Everyone's headed downstairs, so it's goodbye. :(
<Betelgeus> groc, me too :)
<Vickie> Ha, Other One found a ball!
<Padruga> everyone here gives *hugs* to everyone on irc.
* K8_Fan feels sorry that Vickie couldn't go, but deesn't want to think what
would have happened if she had not been at home.
<Grocible> I forgot about the show tonight. I was moping about tonight
and forgot.
* Grocible suddenly realizes padruga is at the terminal.
<Grocible> hey! :)
<K8_Fan> All right!
<Betelgeus> 200k yesterday, 120k so far today
<Padruga> GROC!!! How could you forget?
* Betelgeus smops groc
* Grocible kept getting killed yesterday.
<Betelgeus> Happy_R got killed a few times tonight at the end :(
<Padruga> It's time to let Bob have the reins. Adios, amigos.
<K8_Fan> Vickie: They might have to rip the floor up. We should find
*loads* of balls.
* Grocible had other things on his mind. :(
<Vickie> Our cat fetches balls, but loses them all. The firemen moved all
the furniture into the middle of the room and covered everything with a tarp,
and TOO found one of his lost balls
<Padruga> Hi again! Larne here.
<Betelgeus> even feynman impersonating the nick was killed off... but he
talked to an irc op
<Vickie> Bye Valerie! hiya Larne!
<Betelgeus> re Larne
<Padruga> Happy has just entered the room to say hello to 'philes.
<Feynman> someone on the server was doing it
<K8_Fan> So are you guys going to try to find a resturant that will let
you hook up to a phone line?
* Grocible has never met an IRC op.
* Grocible thinks they dn't really exist. :)
<Betelgeus> Cool :) Hello from the ether
<Feynman> So I stressed the point that it was a concert that was being
video taped :)
<Vickie> Make her come say hi :)
<Feynman> and suddenly she stopped getting killed off :)
<K8_Fan> Cool.
<Betelgeus> Glad it worked!
<Feynman> Well I can be a big pain when I want to :)
* K8_Fan guesses that IRC ops must be dedicated anarchists.
<Feynman> and sometimes even when I dont
<Feynman> They can be
<Betelgeus> I think everyone abandoned the terminal for Happy ;)
* Grocible wonders why :)
* Vickie imagines everyone is hanging around Happy and have forgotten us :-)
* Betelgeus laughs
<Feynman> Hey yeah... give happy a chance to get hooked on irc :)
<Don> Seems that way
* Grocible notices that David Dalton isn't too popular on FTE these days.
* Betelgeus waves
<K8_Fan> Send 'em some beeps.
<Betelgeus> wave
<Betelgeus> I wondered earlier if the beeps would get through
<K8_Fan> didn't here.
<Don> I heard it.
<Betelgeus> I sent one beep, which did beep here
<Vickie> I like David Dalton :-)

tour... dont know how long
<Feynman> :)
* Betelgeus grins
<Vickie> Hi again Chris...i just got knocked off for some reason. The
phone didn't even ring
<Betelgeus> Boy, I'm doing so much at once... soem of it by auto, heh
<K8_Fan> How odd.
<justicek> (speaking from ignorance) So Happy hasn't toured so much in
the past?
sibling leaves IRC: Leaving
<K8_Fan> Most tours by lesser-known artists are underwritten by the
record company. It's just themselves.
<Betelgeus> Are you saying Paula Cole is giong to be opening for Sarah?
<Vickie> Right Kim, these concerts are Very Big Deals :-)
<Feynman> yep... I will forward the e-mail to you Bet
<K8_Fan> No Giant Record Company suger daddy.
<Feynman> Wow its been a while since I heard this...
<justicek> I dunno. I know of lotsa bands/artists who beat themselves to
death touring without Big Co support
<K8_Fan> And have to have day jobs to do it.
<Betelgeus> feyn, thanks
<Feynman> There you go... it is on its way.. :)
<Vickie> I wish they would come back
<Betelgeus> Cool, I'll have to write Gail about it... asking more details
about Paula's side :)
<justicek> Having a day job is good for you. Keeps you grounded in
reality.
<Betelgeus> got it.... and the 3rd log finally bounced back from
ecto....
<Betelgeus> the rest of the show after the 3rd kinf of got garbled due to
the irc killing so maybe I should wait to do soemthing eith the whole thing
<K8_Fan> Well, we know a lot of bands that have broken up, tired of
beating their collective heads against the wall trying to break the cycle...
<justicek> Hey, stop trying to cheer me up, K8_Fan! :0
<Vickie> Yeah, i just got the log too
<K8_Fan> If you want to succeed on the touring level, you have to tour a
lot, like Boiled In Lead.
<K8_Fan> It can put a crimp into the recording opportunities. Don't mean
to bring you down.
<Betelgeus> Vickie, my friend said he heard that Caterwaul might get back
together at least temporarily... sort of a rumor... his brother talks to Betsy
I believe
<K8_Fan> All right! GREAT live band.
<Betelgeus> I never got to see them live but I really love them :)
<Vickie> That'd be cool. There was a thread about Caterwaul in
alt.music.alternative yesterday
<K8_Fan> Maybe the world is ready for them noe.
<Betelgeus> I'll have to ask him if he's heard more yet
<K8_Fan> now.
<Betelgeus> I hope so!
<Vickie> We've seen them live twice
<Vickie> Videotaped one of them
<K8_Fan> We have?
<K8_Fan> We did?
<Vickie> But it's very dark and hard to see
<K8_Fan> I only remember the Metro.
<Vickie> Chris yea, we saw them at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, that's
when we videotaped
<K8_Fan> Really?
<K8_Fan> Wow. That was a long time ago.
<Vickie> Yeah, Tim manned the camcorder
<K8_Fan> A whole pile of great concerts at the Bottleneck.
<K8_Fan> BiL, Throwing Muses,
<K8_Fan> wait a minute...real small crowd?
<Vickie> Chris yes, and we were right up front
<Betelgeus> Cool, lucky you! :)
<K8_Fan> Got it.
* Vickie just put the Caterwaul videotape in
<Betelgeus> Just put 3rd log in news
<Vickie> It's very dark, you can hear the music fine, but can't see the
band through most of it
<Betelgeus> My friend saw them a few times and hung out with them, even
lent them money for the last album that never came out
<Vickie> Only when very bring lights are on Betsy

<Vickie> bright
<K8_Fan> Betsy has the *loopiest* speaking voice.
<Betelgeus> Do you think I should post any more of the log? It starts to
break up soon after but people won't know the end... it gets awfully random
without some editing
<Betelgeus> Hmm, guess I've never heard her speaking voice
<Vickie> yeah, I interviewed her on the air live, on the phone
<Betelgeus> she sure has a loopy singing voice... and I love it!
<K8_Fan> Think helium.
* Betelgeus laughs :)
<Vickie> Don't know Alex, i wish they'd come back :-(
<K8_Fan> And nitrous.
<Betelgeus> Chris: heheh
<Vickie> Betsy starts to sing and her microphone is off, so she's
laughing,
<Vickie> They did the whole first song without any vocals
* Grocible pines quietly.
<justicek> so...giggly and hi-pitched?
<Betelgeus> yeah, me too.... I don't want to flood people's mailboxes
either... especially since I'll probably try to make the whole log available
somehow, maybe edited here and there
<K8_Fan> Rising up and down.
<Betelgeus> Ah, instrumental version
<Vickie> Kim, yes, very little girlish and surreal. Do you know the
Cranes?
<Vickie> Very Cranes-ish, but the music is more rocky rather than
ambient
* justicek pines for the fjords
* Vickie pines for a personal hello from Happy
<justicek> Haven't heard Cranes.
<K8_Fan> Imagine someone raised on a very fuzzy, variable-gravity planet
with an atmosphere rich in helium.
<Vickie> oh, well...the lead singer sounds kinda like the lead singer of
Caterwaul :-)
<justicek> "Ladies and gentlemen...The Inflatables!!!"
<Betelgeus> I think the name caterwaul describes her singing voice rather
well :)
<K8_Fan> Actually, the effect is kinda Zep-like, only much more so.
<K8_Fan> (pun intended)
<Vickie> :-) to Alex and Chris
* Vickie is eating Oreos
<justicek> K8_Fan: heh
* justicek is drinking Gato Blanco
<Grocible> white at
<K8_Fan> So The Other One is OK now?
<Grocible> white Cat
* justicek strains to think of a nifty nickname
<Betelgeus> drinking a white cat?
<Grocible> poor cat
<Betelgeus> Have you heard of the band The Other Ones?
<K8_Fan> No, The Other One is a white cat.
* justicek coughs up a hairball
<Betelgeus> BTW, was you upstairs neighbor okay?
<Vickie> The cats are ok, The Other One came out of hiding
* justicek and SO have a gray 'n' white and a black 'n' white kitty
<Vickie> Bet, they dragged her out and took her to the hospital. Last I
heard she was alive, with smoke inhalation
<Grocible> vickie: :(
* Grocible considers it ironic... a smoker with smoke inhalation.
* Grocible hopes vickie's apartment isn't too badly damaged. I lived through a
fire in the building last year :(

<Larne> As I was leaving they were getting ready to shut everything down,
but I think it was up until that point.
<Betelgeus> hi phoebe, larne
<Vickie> I smoke both kinds, but herb is more expensive and hard to
find
<Larne> Did the message about Happy mingling make it out?
<Betelgeus> yeah, that's about the last thing we saw
<Vickie> Yeah, we were hoping she would come over and talk to us
<Feynman> back
<Feynman> bet: did you get the e-mail
<Larne> She didn't stay out long, just a few minutes.
<Betelgeus> fey, yep, thanks :) I just saw Paula here Dec 1... wondered
if they might come by again.... doubtful
<Larne> She was probably ehausted.
* Feynman should get some sleep :/

<Betelgeus> I definitely need to catch up on my lists and get back on

<K8_Fan> hummm...
<Vickie> No kidding
<Betelgeus> Boy am I behind
<K8_Fan> Did the Benchmark check arrive?
<Vickie> No, and I checked the mail earlier
<Vickie> You got a floppy disc in the mail
<K8_Fan> Ok....message me
<Vickie> From minnesota
<K8_Fan> Probably from JASC.
<K8_Fan> Right.
<Vickie> yes
<K8_Fan> Another beta.
<K8_Fan> Damn...you could try depositing the check...
<Vickie> Ah well, with no publicity, it might not sell out, and even if
it does, we can try for scalpers day of show
<K8_Fan> I'd hate to do that. We were lucky on the Tori.
<Vickie> The Navy pier show was sold out, but lots of tickets were
available day of show

<Betelgeus> hi morpheus
<Morpheus> Hi Betel.
<Vickie> We were just talking about Sarah, she's coming back to Chicago
<K8_Fan> Yeah, but if you had our entire place might be toast.
<Vickie> Tickets go on sale tomorrow
<Morpheus> I haven't been on in a while. Pretty busy getting my life back
on track.
<Morpheus> Chicago?????!!!!!
<Morpheus> When!!!!!!
<Vickie> Chris, Chad (morpheus) came down from Milwaukee for the Vic
show, was at the Best Buy in-store, and went to Ginos East for pizza
<Morpheus> Yes. Reminiscing. Now, where and when!!!!
<Morpheus> Sorry for the rudeness.
<Vickie> Chris, I didn't do anything to make a difference. Someone else
called the fire department
<K8_Fan> Ok. Well, I don't really don't know folks via their IRC
handles.
<Morpheus> I'm just too thrilled at the prospect of seeing her again.
<Vickie> Chad, Chicago Theater, just a second and I'll look at the date
<K8_Fan> The Chicago Theatre.
<Larne> Hi Morpheus!
<Morpheus> Hi Larne!
<Larne> Yeah, I heard you had fire problems. How bad's the damage?
<Morpheus> Reserved or Gen. Admission?
<K8_Fan> Hopefully a month or two will be enough to get the stink of
"Joseph and the Annoying Techno.." out.
<Vickie> Chicago March 29
<Morpheus> And also, how fast are these puppies gonna sell?
<Vickie> Minneapolis March 30
<Vickie> No milwaukee, sorry
<K8_Fan> Is she gonna play Milwaukee?
<Morpheus> Damn!
<Morpheus> Ah well.
<Vickie> Hi Larne, it could have been worse, but it's not pretty
<Morpheus> I don't mind the trip.
<K8_Fan> Hopefully there will stiff be a train.
<K8_Fan> still.
<Morpheus> You had a fire Vick?
<Vickie> Our living room ceiling is about to fall down
<Larne> Very sorry to hear it :(
<Morpheus> When and how did that happen.
<Vickie> Morph, no, the apartment upstairs caught on fire
<Vickie> Earlier tonight
<Morpheus> Oh.
<K8_Fan> Sorry to bother, but have you moved the 3/4" tapes?
* justicek notices parade-style drummers predominate on jazz TV shows
<Vickie> jsut as Happy's concert was starting
<Morpheus> Oh, jeez.
<Vickie> The 3/4? Up on the shelf? no, but that side of the living room
isn't damaged
<K8_Fan> Right, but the cieling might come down as a whole.
<Morpheus> I'm sorry to be of a two track mind, but any idea how much the
tickets are?
<Vickie> The living room looked like a rain forest for a while there
<Vickie> no, sorry, don't know how much they are. Chicago theater is
pretty ritzy
<Larne> Oh man, are you gonna have to find somewhere else to live for a
while?
<Morpheus> Are they reserved seating?
<Vickie> No, I don't think so, but they'll have to replace the ceiling,
so it'll be messy for a while

<Vickie> morph, I don't know that either

ago.
<Betelgeus> Boy, what a surreal night
<Betelgeus> re Fili
<Morpheus> Ok. Dat's cool. Count me in any ecto gathering before the
concert. Cause hell or high water, I'm there.
<Fili> whoops... bbl!
<Vickie> The apartment below us has water damage too from the water that
seeped throw the floorboards. They might have to replace their ceiling and our
floor too

department when they did and that they responded so quickly

<Vickie> heya CZ
<colinzeal> Hi everybody! Just got back from Phili about 30 mins
ago...
<Morpheus> I gotta go all. Time for bed.
<K8_Fan> One of the advantages of living two blocks from a fire
station.
<Morpheus> Have fun all.
* Vickie hates CZ and Larne :-)
<colinzeal> It was INCREDIBLE!!!
* Vickie will get over it though
<Larne> Ditto, CZ!
<colinzeal> You'll get the tape... and believe me, you won't miss a
thing!
<Morpheus> Bye all.
<Larne> Yup, airing in March.
<colinzeal> (Maybe you'll even get to see my overjoyed mug in the second
row durring the crowd shots :)
<Vickie> Bye Chad!
Morpheus leaves IRC: Leaving
<K8_Fan> Concert close-captioned via IRC.
<colinzeal> Camera dudes were everywhere... except (thankfully) in front
of Happy.
<colinzeal> I was just reading that... now I know what Happy was
typing!
<Vickie> Did you guys get to talk to Happy?
<colinzeal> I didn't... I had to leave right after the show... looked
like most of the ecto people stuck around, though.
<Larne> I said goodbye to her as she was heading back backstage.
<justicek> concert will be shown *where*, & by *whom*?
<Vickie> They lost the IRC connection. We were hoping for a word from
Happy without the pressure of being on stage
<Betelgeus> Hey Colin :)
<colinzeal> Aww... I wish I could have stayed and tried to meet her, but
I guess it wasn't meant to be this time.
<Larne> Not the most scintillating conversation I've ever come up with,
but at least I didn't just go duuuuh
<Betelgeus> Was just looking back through the IRC log
<Vickie> Kim, a Philadelphia calbe company
<Vickie> cable
<Larne> J, Prism (a local Philly channel) will be showing tonights
concert sometime in march.
<Vickie> Larne :-)
<colinzeal> 'ey B
<justicek> oh, well. I'm not much on live concerts, fortunately... (I
tell myself)
<Larne> OH, and she said bye back - my brush with greatness.
<Betelgeus> Still trying to decide if I should post more of the log but
it gets pretty mangled by the split and loss of connection
<Betelgeus> cool Larne :)
<colinzeal> I'm only now beginning to realise that I stood for 3 hours
straight.
<Larne> Who stood? I was floating :_
<justicek> they should pass out back supporters at no-chair concerts!
<K8_Fan> How was the non-ectophile portion of the audience?
<colinzeal> I tell ya! Actually, I didn't notice it at all, until now
:)
<Betelgeus> heh, I've been on IRC for 9 horus
<Larne> (excuse the deformed smiley)
<colinzeal> They were a great crowd... mostly 20's through 40's... very
eclectic.
<colinzeal> There was a split? Awwwwwww....
<justicek> ...but that's not the Whole Story, is it Larne?
<Vickie> Yeah bet. did Happy come on again in the next log?
<Larne> Very good, everyone was very up and still very well behaved
<Betelgeus> that's good to hear. Yeah, well, aactually it was a split
and then a nick collision several times
<colinzeal> Even my Dad had a great time... though I was rather peeved
when I went up before him and they didn't even motion to ID me :/
* Grocible waves.
<Betelgeus> Yeah, there is a bit more of happy
Grocible leaves IRC: Leaving
<Betelgeus> not much, and then later people talking about after thw
show
<Vickie> People are more interested in concert reports than our
ramblings
<Vickie> Oh man, Michael Handler will be really pissed off. He's only 17,
and lives in Philly
<Betelgeus> Yeah, that's the thing, it's mostly rambling, heh... I was
editiing some
* Larne is trying to come up with suitable Writers' Embellishment
<colinzeal> I know... I almost didn't go because of that!
<Vickie> He was on last night, bemoaning that he couldn't get in
<Betelgeus> Actually I'm still logging
<Betelgeus> I posted those logs fast, I hope they came out okay
<Betelgeus> I had to remove some ctrl chars

ones. I can't imagine how my "There's a Fire!" came out. I was typing blind and
then immediately turned off and unplugged everything
<Larne> Seeing that rutgers ftp seems to be down for the count.
<Betelgeus> It probably would be good ot put them up for ftp... I have to
an edit of the entire thing first though
<Vickie> Still don't know what's going on with Jessica :-(
<colinzeal> Rutgers is highly unreliable (take it from someone who knows
:)
<Betelgeus> it's 140k today and 200k yesterday... a lot of which is stuff
after that's random, plus other things yesterday especially
<colinzeal> Did today's connection survive the entire show?
<Larne> Gzipped 200K should go down to < 100
<Betelgeus> colin, no, but much better
<Betelgeus> we lost it at the end
<Larne> The connection did, although I gather there were irc problems.
<Vickie> Until the very end, yes
<Vickie> Then everybody was talking to Happy and the connection timed
out, and no one bothered to re-connect
<Betelgeus> yeah, Larne stated right
<colinzeal> I could have talked to Happy? WHAAAAAAH!
* colinzeal slaps himself silly.
<Betelgeus> Well, before that happened we had the IRC problems for the
last few songs
<Larne> Bob must have shut down right after.
*** colinzeal is now known as ColinZeal

elephant, said hello to a few people and left, basically.
<justicek> It's Bob's fault!

<cosmicV> has Happy made a special appearance on IRC?
<K8_Fan> "Where's the balcony?"
<Vickie> Happy's concert went on, I missed most of it due to situation
beyond my control
<Vickie> They had the computer set up on the stage
<Betelgeus> Much of the IRC concert got posted to ecto
<Vickie> Happy typed in messages every now and then, Lovejoy and Brown
kept a running commentary
<Betelgeus> Cut the remainder down to 600 lines... but that's too much
random stuff
<cosmicV> I think I should start reading my mail instead of letting you
repeating it all.... but I don't have the time right now, and once I start
reading mail, it's hard to stop :)
<cosmicV> alright... the water is boiling... I have to go
<cosmicV> HUGs and good bye's.... Klaus
cosmicV leaves IRC: cosmicV
<Vickie> Geez it stinks in here. (smoke)
<K8_Fan> Really.
<K8_Fan> Did the Red Cross offer to put you up elsewhere for the night?
<Vickie> I went upstairs earlier and her apartment is such a mess. They
were throwing furniture out the window
<Betelgeus> I'm going to post at least a little more, up to that splut
anyway
<Betelgeus> err, split, splat, whatever
<K8_Fan> Before or after the fire?
<Vickie> yeah, Ron offered me a different apartment, and the Red Cross
offered me a place
<Vickie> But it's not *that* bad
<K8_Fan> How's the bedroom?
<Betelgeus> Are they still doing anything there?
<Vickie> Bedroom's fine
<Vickie> No, everyone's gone now
<K8_Fan> It's not like you can open the windows to let in fresh air.
You'd freeze.
<Vickie> Quite a scene earlier with tons of firemen and everyone
<Vickie> I do have the living room window open, it's not cold in htere
though
<K8_Fan> Some things don't work right in Chicago, but it's a great fire
department.
<Vickie> The heat's turned up to the max
<Vickie> Great doors too :-)
<Betelgeus> heh. doors?
<Vickie> Alex, i was telling Chris earlier on the phone that the firemen
had to break down the door to her apartment, and it was sturdy!
<Vickie> These big burly firemen were BANG BANG BANG!
<Vickie> so it's reassuring that the doors are not easily broken down,
<K8_Fan> Tested.
<Vickie> Burglers would have no chance as long as the locks are locked
<Vickie> We have a door lock, a deadbolt and a chain
<Vickie> I imagine she had her deadbolt locked
<Betelgeus> heh, that is good :)
<K8_Fan> A bit like that scene in "The World According To Garp." "We'll
be safe here. It's pre-disatered."
* Betelgeus laughs
<Betelgeus> oh man
<Vickie> So yeah, her apartment is a mess, big hole in the floor where
they took an axe to it, holes in the roof where they let fire and smoke pour
out
<Betelgeus> but there aren't holes all the way through her floor to your
ceiling?
<K8_Fan> Hope it dosn't rain.
<Vickie> so where the fire was, was right above our couch, and they axed
the floor and the water had only one place to go, down
<Betelgeus> Chris, that's what I was thinking
Marisa (ff@alfred1.u.washington.edu) joins #ecto.
<Vickie> Ron said he was going to patch the roof temporarily tonight
<Vickie> hi Marisa!
<K8_Fan> Well, it's too cold to rain.
<Betelgeus> hye marisa
<Marisa> hihi
* Marisa GUHS betel and vickie
* Betelgeus smiles
<Betelgeus> heh, think it's safe to turn the logs off now?
* Betelgeus chuckles
<Vickie> Bet, the firemen came down here and poked a hole in our ceiling
to let more of the water pour out, so we've got a hole too, but not a big one
piquet (sherlyn@sydney.DIALix.oz.au) joins #ecto.
<Betelgeus> re piquet
<piquet> well hey
<Vickie> I went outside to get some fresh air earlier, and it was
snowing
<Vickie> hi piquet!
* Marisa bats her eyes at piq
* Marisa is actually not in a flirty mood tonight. :-(
<Vickie> But they put down a big tarp before they poked that hole
* piquet swoons at marisa
* Marisa just ate a big meal and is getting sleepity
<piquet> me neither, marisa :(
<piquet> howdy vickie :)
<Vickie> hiya
* Marisa takes off her glasses....
