Amazingly, I slept pretty well last night. Woke up this morning NOT thinking about the encounter...until I hopped in the elevator and saw that shining face and that hair...THAT HAIR!...on an advertising poster. His music may have been playing in the elevator, though I can't really tell G from all of his cohorts and clones. Overall, I find that I'm able to ignore the man and his...uh, stuff.

Just checking into my usual Las Vegas hotel. An okay, off-the-strip place. Hauling my bag and flute. Whip around the corner, and there he is. In person. Saw several posters advertising his performance at the hotel after I ran into him. But - BAM - no warning.

This won't help anyone talk me out of it, I suppose, but I presently have only about 15% of the material from older issues, including LP and ancient CDs.

Someone please talk me out of this indulgence.

I'll add my 'thanks', but I'm clearly outclassed by those who have posted before me. 1000, 5000, 10000, 15000 posts! Assuming even half of those had any substance, there are certainly some significant contributors to the board's success out there. So thanks to all.

While I've not ridden any of the pro tours, I can still agree from my somewhat less-lofty perspective. It's a real inside-your-head and -body experience.

The place has all the soul of an *** church. *** is a stand-in for the church I grew up in. Don't want to offend anyone. But it's a soulless church.

Anything having to do with television or movies. I don't 'do' either.

I guess I'd considered this, but dismissed it, perhaps prematurely. To me, it seems like the datastream is out there for public consumption. There aren't any real commercial considerations, that I see. It's a matter of choosing the device or means by which to listen. Obviously, I've no commercial intentions. (I might let some local in Burkina Faso listen in ) I suppose I should pledge WFIU. (That'd be three public radio stations.) Am I rationalizing?

Lon's 'for sale' threads. Not that I ever buy anything. Heck, I read just about any thread Lon starts. And most of them Jsngry starts related to music.

Is it possible to somehow 'store' the broadcasts from Night Lights. I've become a total addict, and I now have the flexibility in my life to carry a laptop or MP3 player from time to time. But I seldom have an internet connection, especially a high-speed one.

The entire Politics forum and anything that will make my wallet hurt. Also, when I'm away from music for extended periods (travel), anything that's going to make me want to listen to something I can't possibly hear. Funny Rat.

Can't imagine why anyone would prefer this members 25%/non-members 10% through 5 March coupon to the superior one posted by mgraham333, but... http://f.chtah.com/i/9/276579820/03012510.htm

Birthday. Happy. (Not necessarily in that order.)

Remind me not to join your paceline.

Thanks for hipping me. And Pres; I got big eyes for Pres. I'm with you on the 'card' thing. I'm not willing to put my buying habits on display/sale for a few bucks.

I'm pondering this. Perhaps there is some slang or young-person's jargon involved, which would explain my cluelessness.

That's a toss-up; all in all, I think I'd go for the cup of coffee.

Right arm.

Sorry, didn't realize that this was part of a TV ad. I haven't watched any TV since the 70s. I figured it was just one of those things they (oh so cleverly ) say on the plane.

A clever, if inside, joke.

Congrats! Makes me, in some very small way, almost slightly regret swearing off (and at) Southwest. They do have a good in-flight mag. They had a feature not long ago on jazz clubs around the country. And a feature on LPs.
