||||||||| Catherwood re-enters the Waiting Room and explains "This is the main discussion room which is logged each night."
||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:33 AM - I now declare Thursday's chat log for July 14, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 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?"
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Dexter Fong inside, makes a note of the time (9:00 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
||||||||| Outside, the 9:00 PM crosstown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving cease coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
cease: hey dex
Dexter Fong: Hey Cat

Dexter Fong: I fear you are correct
llanwydd: "several or more" is an interesting expression
Dexter Fong: Okay?
llanwydd: I made mock chicken tikka masala

||||||||| Catherwood ushers TweenMeltOnRye in through the front door at 9:06 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Dexter Fong: Knew it was more than two, hence several...not sure how many more, hence "or more"

Bunnyboy: llan: Au contraire. PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC, HAXAN, MODERN TIMES...

Bunnyboy: Now, you'll find a half dozen on any commercial...
Dexter Fong: Hiyah Doc
Bunnyboy: oh, hiya DOc!
doctecazoid: nolan seemed to feel that no one would be able to follow the story he wanted to tell without cramming a ton of exposition into the movie
Bunnyboy: Hans Zimmer's score was bone-shattering.
Dexter Fong: Bunny: Finally got that 18 inch subwooker eh?
doctecazoid: and then there was the relentlessly pulsating breathless score

Principalpoop: Please come to Austin for the Springtime

Dexter Fong: No you come to New South Wales for the fall
doctecazoid: i too am a nin fan - always have been
Principalpoop: Please Mister Robinson, I just want to talk with her
Dexter Fong: Here son, take this plastic item with you
doctecazoid: pp: mixing your musical references there?
TweenMeltOnRye: "The single "White Lies" got heavy airplay on Washington, D.C.-area radio." - yep that's where I heard it, when I was living near DC
Bunnyboy: They used "Hurt" on a HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET closer, many moons ago.
Principalpoop: it was garbled in the translation
Dexter Fong: Tween: Nils grew up in the Baltimore/DC area and was in bands as early as 16 years old
TweenMeltOnRye: DC/MD area myself
Bunnyboy: Emmy love for MAD MEN, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, GAME OF THRONES. None for TREME, TRUE BLOOD, WALKING DEAD.
Dexter Fong: He was also pretty young when he joined young/Carzy Haorse
Principalpoop: Mama Cass was from the DC area too

TweenMeltOnRye: Didn't know he worked with Neil Young
cease: good thing he didnt join crazu hearse
Dexter Fong: One of the founding members of Crazy Horse
doctecazoid: not sure why they snubbed treme. horror genre usually gets the cold shoulder. game of thrones got in for the soft core porn aspect with high production values and the whole faux medieval thing.
TweenMeltOnRye: Yeah, kudos to Doc and Merl and whoever for getting it back up so fast
TweenMeltOnRye: Nil was Crazy Horse?
Dexter Fong: Yes Tween
TweenMeltOnRye: I knew Young was, of course

Bunnyboy: Peter Dinklage is great, and got a nom today.
TweenMeltOnRye: I _love_ Crazy Horse
doctecazoid: thanx tween - it was a "drop everything and get the firesign site back up" situation for sure!
TweenMeltOnRye: So that was Neil and Nils bandying guitars about, eh? Cool
doctecazoid: bb: i tried watching some of it, i felt like it was trying too hard to win me over. prolly need to stick with it. will try and catch the reruns leading into season 2.
TweenMeltOnRye: You did well, Doc :-)
Dexter Fong: Young wasn't exactly a member of CH, CH was his back up band
cease: i'm sure the lads appreciate it doc
TweenMeltOnRye: Well, the Neil Young and Crazy Horse album is the one I'm familiar with
Principalpoop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKO9d0U-uIM
Dexter Fong: Yes
doctecazoid: in some ways, having to revive the firesign site was a good thing: it made both of us revisit the site, navigation, and cross-linkage. there is a lot of room for improvement, i'll probably spend some time working on it during my recovery.
Bunnyboy: There are actually a few gaspers, in GOT. Not as many as in Season 3 of BREAKING BAD, though.
cease: the micahel moore song that enes with rockin in the free world
cease: would not have been that powerful without neil's song

TweenMeltOnRye: God one, Bun
Bunnyboy: Or izzit BeatMeatJacque?
Principalpoop: Regular or Premium? Click
Dexter Fong: If I could just break on thru to the other side, I'd light your fire
Principalpoop: you know that it would be untrue, if I said we could not get much higher
cease: the firesign never tried hard enough to sell out
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, pass the doobie to the left please
||||||||| Catherwood steps alongside Dexter Fong and queries "Someone mention my name?"
Bunnyboy: I checked an OnDemand ROBOT CHICKEN ep, and caught the jaw-dropping "Ron Jeremy's Butter" scene.
cease: if they succeeded, tjhey'd no longer be the firesigns
doctecazoid: wow bb, that sounds ... eye-opening ...
Bunnyboy: No, it was actually...butter.
Dexter Fong can't believe it's butter
