||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, May 19, 2022 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!" -- then he looks around at the empty room, looks at his watch, and mumbles "...am I early?"
||||||||| Tweeny sneaks in around 8:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last year's "unpleasant incident."

DJTweeny: was wondering about that address lol
Elayne: In honor of Doc Tech, I'm going to grab my smokables. NYC has a place in Times Square, pricey but it's been ages since I've had any, and it's legal now, so I bought a bit right before my lunch with Phil Proctor a couple weeks ago.

Not Ed: !!
DJTweeny: I read he was considered for Yes's Relayer album
johan amadeus myjetski: got turned down when he auditioned for Yes, for "never playing a wrong note"

johan amadeus myjetski: he did 2 or 3 with Jon
Not Ed: Jimi Carter?
Tweeny: Jon and Vangelis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_and_Vangelis

Elayne: Thanks Catherwood, just leave a couple on the side table as well, if you would.
||||||||| Catherwood strides over to Elayne and inquires "Did you want me?"
Not Ed: mild case I trust?
johan amadeus myjetski: no, it was the covid that caused his passing, so i understand
Elayne: So sad. Was he vaccinated?
Not Ed: cripes sorry
Elayne: I hear Clapton caught it, which is a surprise to precisely nobody.
johan amadeus myjetski: dunno. he was in a hospital in France
Elayne: We're getting booster #2 this Saturday.
Not Ed: heh E
Not Ed: cool E
Cease: i'd like to put off my 4th shot until closer to when i travel.
Elayne: Can't really put it off any more, as we'll both be going into Manhattan a bit more in June and July.
Not Ed: how come
Not Ed: C
Elayne: I'm going in next Tuesday for a work thing, but i'll be masked the entire time then head straight home to actually log on an work.
johan amadeus myjetski: i usede to have his Albido 0.39 on cassette. going to try to find it on youtube & listen to it tonight, in memorium
Cease: apparently they wear off.
Elayne: Cat, aside from Manhattan and NJ, travel is not in our plans at all yet. Not with this latest wave. :(
Not Ed: oh I see what you mean (duh me)
Cease: i bought a ticket to Vegas 2 years ago and it's good thru next year so i'll use it then.
Elayne: That's what I heard, but the science seems to have shifted on the efficacy, and apparently they're giving proection for longer than previously assumed.
Cease: hope so, El
Not Ed: I see yeah that would be good
Cease: on crowded bus for a couple of hours today and most people were masked
Tweeny: Cease: on crowded bus for a couple of hours today and most people were masked << I wouldn't want to do that
Elayne: Apparently when you have 50-70% protection wth the vax and booster, the second booster takes you back up to 90%
Elayne: But it's apparently still too soon to definitively determine how long that lasts
Beet: I am currently double vaxxad and double boosted.
Cease: BC is highly vaccinated
Elayne: Tween, when I go into Manhattan on Tuesday I plan on being masked from about 6:45 AM to when I get home, between public transit and the medical facilitry and my office. So that's over 5 hours.
Elayne: I can deal with it just fine. It's not scheduled to be that warm on Tuesday.
Cease: that's like a long flight, El
Elayne: Cat, NYC is too, but cases and, unfortunately, hospitalizations are still rising.
Elayne: Exactly so, Cat.
Elayne: A lot of folks in NYC, including our new mayor, have decided businesses opening up is more important than public safety, so they did away with mask mandates.
Elayne: Thank goodness there are enough smart people around here who still opt for masks.
Elayne: I never go to the grocery store or pharmacy, or shopping in any indoor setting, unless I'm masked.
Cease: right
johan amadeus myjetski: me, either, E
Not Ed: oh ya it ain't over 'til it's over
Not Ed: me too E
||||||||| Mark Time invites you to watch and listen to Firesign’s XM Radio Performances Watch The Firesign Theatre In Action!
Elayne: Our office no longer requires masks, which is why I'm not planning on working there for awhile (and thank goodness I don't have to)
Rufus_T_Firetween: I always wear a mask when I'm in an enclosed space with other people, like when I'm grocery shopping

Not Ed: yepsk E
Elayne: It's not that friggin' hard to do, we have 2 years' worth of practice after all. It's just people whining "But I DON'R WANNA..."
Not Ed: haha
Not Ed: indeed
Elayne: Frickin' babies. Why do I have to share oxygen (and a mobile virus) with them?
Elayne: Now I've worked myself into a lather, so I'm going to cut out. Next week, all!

ddywnall: did not get to vote in 84. I am kind of glad

Rufus_T_Firetween: I voted for McGovern and Carter. That was a very different Democratic Party
Not Ed: my prob with Ronnie was that his admin cut education like 30% for 7 years
Rufus_T_Firetween: not the warmongers
Not Ed: I think we're suffering for that today
johan amadeus myjetski: he also kjept the country from going metric

Cease: this is basically what I was doing with the Free Time with the Cat Man shows. blending Firesign bits thematically.
johan amadeus myjetski: out of chat due to a sandwich - continuing to listen. & likingn this!
Rufus_T_Firetween: what year was that?
Rufus_T_Firetween: the Cat Man shows?
Cease: this bit is from the mushroom show we hearfd recently
Cease: the cat man shows were 13-14. I started doing collages in 2015, the first was firesign mixed with Billy the Mountain.
Cease: the idf between collages and cat man shows is they were Firesign material only, whereas the collages mix Firesign with non-Firesign material.

Cease: doubt it.
Cease: but it's in proctor's daughter's hands now.
