Purity-Of-Tween: Caught a bit of it when it first aired.
TOR: I haven't viewed the video.
cease: this album does have its moments
Johnny Piano: Two sides of coin, llan - to have FST on vid at all is worth admission...but not as good as could have been
Purity-Of-Tween: Tween like WJ.
Mudhead: yes, that was one
cease: and i like its oz/noir qualities
klokwkdog: Tweeny -- no, they're saving Iran for October, just B4 the election

Mudhead: mayor Pizziznose!
Purity-Of-Tween: Is there a video of the London gig? I'd really like to see it.

Johnny Piano: There's that consonantal problem..."N" or "Q"?
klokwkdog: Ilan -- it's a very good redo of the basic riffs from earlier albums, in character, with costumes and very well done
principalpoop: pieta consontas pieta consontas, lalalalalala
Purity-Of-Tween: Not much of set. Cool to see them do the characters, though.

Johnny Piano: Elaborate, Cat
cease: you owuld not expect such amatuerusim from firesign
klokwkdog: not to mention their ROFL comments on the (I think literally) Catholic High School girls answering the phones
cease: their message has always been so avante garde, they could hardly look like hicks
cease: elemlentary school kids could make better loking flicks than eyk
Johnny Piano: But I feel that by filming the show in front of a studio audience, they kinda slowed down the usual chemistry
Purity-Of-Tween: No DVD, no ESP!
TOR: Bill Hicks?
cease: werildy cool could not compete tech wise
cease: for whatever reason
klokwkdog: cat -- I thought so until I saw South Park
Johnny Piano: I certainly don't mean to compare the technical quality, but rather the setting
klokwkdog: i suppose SP is "art" and they work hard to make it look clunky
TOR: Respect my authoritaaaay
cease: it was like most comedy shows. close ups of actors saying funny things
Purity-Of-Tween: Hicks was great. He's sorely missed.
cease: not the visual grandchild of ernie kovacs it might have been
cease: im sure the lads woult protet budge liemittinos
TOR: Ernie Kovacs *bows*
Dexter Fong FST has always done a certain amount of staging of their shows..while the emphasis is certainly on the audio aspect, they do give a nod to the visual aspects....bare boned though it may be
cease: yes south park is as good as the firesign in its own domain
cease: even if ausitn doewsnt like it
Johnny Piano: Parker & Stone are damn clever guys
TOR: Dough Mane, a sticky lion

Rotonoto: (Hi, all- howza?)
klokwkdog: roto ancient participant from before the beginning. DALnet daze!
Purity-Of-Tween: Speaking of premium, Willie's Biodiesel is a penny cheaper than regular here. Anybody have biodiesel available in their area?
Rotonoto: Bambi- you don't want to count the elevator boy?!?
principalpoop: bowza thanks, and youse?
Johnny Piano: It is after 10pm in Bambiland...I think she's allowed
Bambi: yeah, I can afford it these virtual drinks aren't very strong ;-)
Mudhead: yes, only on alternate Tuesdays
Rotonoto: well, I'm still not insane...
klokwkdog: can't use biodiesel, and since they've adulterated the grease with hydrocarbons, I can't even eat it
Rotonoto: (or at least I have three friends who have been paid to say so)
Dexter Fong: Don't blame me, I'm not responsible
TOR: No public office for you, Roto
Mudhead: but those hydrocarbons add flavor
Johnny Piano: Park and lock it
principalpoop: oh that is right, you owe me money crazy guy
Bambi: wow, haven't been to or even thought of DALnet in a long time ..
Johnny Piano: How 'bout that Rep. Kennedy?
Rotonoto: yeah, man, park it and lock it- and remember the alamo or whatever
klokwkdog: Mud -- they cause cancer and US invasions
Purity-Of-Tween: On the contrary, TOR. He has to hear voices telling to invade foriegn countries.
Bambi: shame we didn't find FST chat back then

Johnny Piano: Who are you callin' an idiot, Danger?

Dave: but that's in the drop-down box, I meant on the text frames area
Boney: is this the chatroom for ancient geeks?
Merlyn: oh right, it doesn't display them for manual refresh...

Purity-Of-Tween: The power flucuated and went out several times. Didn't miss a beat all evening.
Purity-Of-Tween: Not familiar with Lubbock, except there's apparently some pretty good music out of there, like members of the Flatlanders.
Purity-Of-Tween: Grew up around the D.C. area. Lived in Indiana (near Bloomington) for quite a while.
Bightrethighrehighre: Yeah- the music scene was hot in the early-mid seventies....L
Bightrethighrehighre: oops....
Purity-Of-Tween: Austin's got a great music scene, not that I've had much to do with it.

Bightrethighrehighre: Yeah...you come to Arizona, you gotta see the big canyon and Sedona....
