It seems that less and less sellers are sending info about receiving payment or when the item is shipped. Myself, I always send an email out thanking the buyer for sending payment & inform them when the item will be shipped but I figure I would want the seller I bought from to do the same for me.

Sonny looks very happy to be with you! It is not the best photo but I feel lucky to have it, the photos he autographed for me, and the time he gave me. During the time I spent around him he seemed to have a very dry sense of humor, so I almost felt that the pose for the picture was part of that/his personality and no reflection of his feeling towards me.

I hear that joke from everyone!

• Dec. 12-16: Charlie Hunter with the Campbell Brothers This one really caught my eye. Not enough to fly out to SF but if I was already out in area I would give it a chance.

I played disc two yesterday( ) and now I am starting disc three.

For myself, a buyers feedback is not as important as if they are a confirmed buyer when paying through Paypal. Obviously if the buyer had a low number or a negative number it would be important, but so far it hasn't been an issue for me.

This reminds me that Paul Stanley said on the commentary track for the KISS: Kissology: Vol. 2: 1978-1991 DVD set that they made a cover of"Fire Brigade" into "Fire House." He has stated many times on the commentary tracks that Kiss were huge fans of The Move. Maybe it is just me but it kind of surprised me.

The reason I actually had fun watching the Transformers movie!

I would second that. I think I had a great time with Super Bad because I went to movie not expecting it to have the same payoffs as those movies. Instead I expected something on the level of Porky's or American Pie, so I was happy with the results.

I lived for a couple of years with a fake Pennsylvania license printed on the back of a check. The "commissioner of public safety" signing the document was named B.S.Really. It got me into the Plugged Nickel which required attendees to be at least 25 to keep the riff raff out. Mr Really allowed me to see Coltrane (twice), Miles, Monk, Wes, JOS, Horace, etc. I had a out of state ID that I used primarily to get into shows as well. It had to be the worst fake ID ever because the person looked nothing like me, it had been expired for 2 years when it was given me, and it said I was a foot shorter with a different eye color. I am thankful I had the ID though because it enabled me to see a ton of hip hop shows at First Avenue, like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digable Planets, etc.

Sorry it is a day late! Happy birthday!

I was very lucky to be able to attend the amazing Twins/Rangers game today. Santana pitched a real gem, though the bats continued a strike of leaving runners on base. The game went from the high of watching Johan strike out the side to having the Twins consistently hit into double plays.

No problem. Just to give you a heads up about the state legislature: At the moment the DFL controls both Houses (as of the fall 2006 elections) but over the last thirty years the power has been in flux without one clear party controlling everything for a consistent period of time. Basically, the Republicans and DFL have each had complete control or split the control many times over the last 30 years. Also, the Governor has many strong powers including the power of veto. The Minnesota state government elections are a pretty interesting flip side to how the state has traditionally voted in presidential elections.

Since December 1976 there have been five people elected to the post. 3 were Republicans, one was an Independent, and one was affiliated with the DFL. The last time a DFL member held the post was in January of 1991. Here is how the history of party affiliation with the post breaks down (from Wikipedia): Number of Governors of Minnesota by party affiliation[1] Party Governors Republican 24 Democratic-Farmer-Labor 5 Democratic 4 Farmer-Labor 3 Independent-Republican 2 Reform/Independence 1

I don't know what the Celtics will do as a team in 07-08 but you can guarantee that KG will give them everything he has. I am sad to see him leave the T Pups but I am happy that he is free of the uncreative team leadership and ownership. Hopefully the deal won't go down in Twin Cities sports history as the worst deal since the Vikings traded for Herschel Walker or the Twins traded away Rod Carew. At this moment I don't see it turning out any differently.

That was my take as well. When they were released Coleman signed to the label, so he most likely brought the recordings to the their attention.

Bary01 has a different eBay handle. Thanks for the clarification. I wanted to make sure before stating that I have seen the photos in the auction used on another auction. It was a while back but all of the pictures are the same. Since the seller has less than 100 posts in feedback it makes me wonder if they 1) reposted it because the sale of the first auction didn't through 2) are reposting because they think the auction will go higher 3) maybe cut and pasted the auction and could be scamming people. None of these could be the case or relevant but seeing the same picture made me think about it.

bary01, is this your auction?
