Archive

||||||||| 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 October 20, 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, October 20, 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 enters with cease close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 9:02 PM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the vestibule.
cease: maybe i'll just stand over here, talking to myself
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and announces "Announcing 'SidFudd', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:04 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
SidFudd: Here I am, standing the corner like an idiot talking to mys- hey!
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in at 9:05 PM, dragging Dexter Fong by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
Dexter Fong: Hey Cat, and howdy Sid
cease: hi sid and dex
Dexter Fong: Perhaps everyone's gone to the myune
cease: i've just been studying vegas lunch menus at some seafood places i covet
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and llanwydd gets out at 9:09 PM.
llanwydd: good evening
Dexter Fong: Hey llan
cease: hi llan
cease: there's a new greek place called Milos, now ranked #1 seafood place in vegas, that just started serving lunch
cease: one vegas food columnnist i admire says it's the best deal in town.
cease: havent seen you here in a while, sid. how goes it?
Dexter Fong: Greeks do seafood well, I've found
llanwydd: I don't think I ever had greek seafood
cease: indeed
llanwydd: I liked the first greek restaurant I went to. The Acropol in Rome, NY
cease: there's a greek place 3 blocks from my house we frequent. an astonishing eggplant stuffed with crab thing
llanwydd: it has been gone a long time,though
cease: i used to live in a greek part of vancouver, greek landlord and greek students in my classes became friends. i ate extremely well
SidFudd: Doing well. Trying like hell to make a Firesign DVD, and making much interesting progress
llanwydd: what on the dvd, sid?
SidFudd: It'll be Everything You Know Is Wrong, plus Martian Space Party
llanwydd: I've never seen either of those
SidFudd: Both with running Firesign commentaries - recorded in 2009 at Sunburst in Culver

SidFudd: EYKIW is a fresh digital transfer from the D1 film-to-tape xfer supervised by director Allen Daviau
cease: i remember proctor plugging it on his planet
SidFudd: MSP is a fresh xfer from a film element that's cleaner than anything we've seen yet
SidFudd: Also the Jack Poet Volkswagen TV spots
llanwydd: tv? I didn't know they did tv commercials
cease: aren't they all on one of the firesign dvds?
SidFudd: I think a couple of them were included in "Weirdly Cool"
SidFudd: We've done new transfers from a 2" videotape master in the archive
cease: my dvd says "additional jack poet ads"
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "9:20 PM and late as usual, it's Principalpoop, just back from Elmertown."
cease: sounds great
Dexter Fong: Hey Poop
Principalpoop: K3wL
cease: hi poop
llanwydd: Hi Prncpl
cease: are you part of the firesign production crew, sid?
llanwydd: so, Sid, are you a regular using a new name or have you been here before?
llanwydd: pardon my poor sentence structure
SidFudd: Not a regular by any means - haven't been on chat in several years
cease: i remember the monniker
Principalpoop: you are now embarked upon a journey that must certainly lead you to change your life forever
cease: sometimes different people have same monniker

Dexter Fong: Rub a little dirt on it
SidFudd: "We're shocked..." "...and stunned." - The Rutles
Principalpoop: i saw wane newton next to michelle bachman, a hallowen portrait

Dexter Fong: Poop: Letterman calls here Michelle O'Bachmann

SidFudd: Sorry, I should have said - my conspiracy name is Taylor J.

Dexter Fong: Ah Taylor, sure nice to see you here
Principalpoop: sweet baby james?

Principalpoop: something here made sense? whodah thunk it

SidFudd: Let me do a "total" function in the spreadsheet...

SidFudd: ...and the answer is, as of tonight, 1197 copies of "Duke" now spoken for
cease: the firesign factotum

Dexter Fong: llan: TJ did the production and liner notes for Duke Of Madness release
cease: is it constant or did it peak?
llanwydd: aha

SidFudd: Sales are steady, but they did level off
llanwydd: that is one I have yet to acquire
Dexter Fong: No peking....Duck!!
cease: he said the word, and they ate him
SidFudd: We're very happy with the sales numbers because we've spent not a dime on advertising
Dexter Fong: And low, they were all layed low by E. coli
Principalpoop: verily virally
cease: if all the fans who wnet to your shows over the past years bought a copy, it would put many dollars in fiesign pocekts

Principalpoop: oh Lord, won't you buy me a mercedes benz?
Dexter Fong: ...adn yet you still remember it like it was tomorrow

llanwydd: place called Town Hall. not a huge venue but substantial.
Principalpoop: Maybe they could perform at the occupy bremerton rally?
Dexter Fong: Poop: Would you settle for a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge?
Principalpoop: oh yes, yes fong
Dexter Fong: Ah, a gear and musclehead guy
Principalpoop: if we are going that way, get me a shelby
Dexter Fong: Original or Kit?
Principalpoop: original, you are Lord after all
Dexter Fong: Well Poop, Shelby hisself is now making Cobra Kits
Principalpoop: really? ahh, i could not get one, I would have to ask how much? lol
Dexter Fong: Poop: A lot but not nearly as much as an original
Principalpoop: bill cosby did a great shelby routine, he wanted to get to work in 3 minutes
Dexter Fong: I had a ride in one once....quite frightening, that amount of power accelerating down a NYC street
Principalpoop: sprung from cages on highway 9
llanwydd: not familiar with shelby
Dexter Fong: Sprung hell, it flatass ripped its way out
Principalpoop: that happened to me in a GTO, I complained it did not go fast...
Dexter Fong: ...and then he ounched it?

Dexter Fong: lalan: Carrol Shelby, famous race car driver and car designer

Dexter Fong: Me 'n Poop be reminiscing over the muscle wars of the mid late 60's to early 70's
llanwydd: wonder if it was his. like "newman's own"
Principalpoop: my friend had a nice camero, i drove a 4 door mercury parklane hehe
Dexter Fong: Well, Paul also liked race cars
Principalpoop: the back window would go down about 2 inches, let some of the pot smoke out
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies H Stones into the room, accepts a $3 bill as a gratuity, mutters something about 9:47 PM, then departs.
Principalpoop: your highness, grovels
llanwydd: Hey Stones!
Dexter Fong: Ah, stones, still passing out the queer money, eh?
cease: keep rolling, stones
Principalpoop: ee's enery the 8th ee am
cease: the queen's currency is queer?
H Stones: Thats rich coming from the Country that invented the FED
Dexter Fong: ee's has quite as a churchrat, ee his
Dexter Fong: FED+ French Equatorial Deutchland?
Principalpoop: no willy no sam, no sam
llanwydd: Fong Eats Duck
Dexter Fong: Hey, I tell you noa Peking
SidFudd: Greetings Stones, we were all enjoying this scene from "The Hot Rock" where Ron Leibman plays a racing record for his mom
SidFudd: here, I'll rewind it
SidFudd: GGGGGGGREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAOOOOWWWWWW
Principalpoop: whoa whoa whoa, there she stood in the street, smiling from her head to her feet
Dexter Fong: Oh! Oh! I got that record...Sounds of Sebring...It's on Riverside Records and ben Grauer narates
Principalpoop: i had the rolls royce, silence lol
H Stones: singing doo wah diddy diddy etc
SidFudd: Everyone buy that DVD. I don't mean wait until after the chat, I mean open a new tab, go to Amazon, buy it.
cease: hey sid, when does new book ship?
cease: anythynge
Principalpoop: All right now, baby its all right now
cease: yer preaching to the choir, here, sid
Dexter Fong: Amen!!
llanwydd: I have to go all the way to brazil to buy a cd?
SidFudd: It’s good and it’s bad. There’s a guaranteed return, and that’s good. But the guarantor is Amusa, and Amusa’s a rookie, and that’s bad. But it’s an easily transportable object, and that’s good. Only it’s in a rotten position in the museum, thirty steps to the quickest exit, and that’s bad. And the glass over the stone, that’s bad too, because that’s glass with metal mixed in it, bulletproof, shatterproof.
Principalpoop: I've seen the light, ha lay lou yah
cease: lol
H Stones: and even then its made in China
SidFudd: But the locks don’t look impossible, three, maybe five tumblers, but there’s no alarm system, and that’s the worst, because that means no one’s going to get lazy watching, knowing the alarm will pick up their mistakes, which means the whole thing has got to be a diversion job, and that’s good and that’s bad because if the diversion’s too big, it’ll draw pedestrians, and if the diversion’s not big enough it won’t draw that watchman."
SidFudd: "Dortmunder, I don’t know where the hell you are or what the hell you’re saying. Just tell me – will you plan the job?"
SidFudd: "It's what I do."
cease: sounds like norman corwin
Dexter Fong: RIP
Principalpoop: ahh the long version of pure prarie league Amy, falling in and out of love with you
Dexter Fong: Hey Poop: Put on some Poco
Dexter Fong: Just a little
Dexter Fong: pocito, as it were
Principalpoop: i have no poco, i have procal harem
llanwydd: well, I've got to be going. take care, everybody. see you next week.
SidFudd: The "Anythynge" book will ship the moment we get it. When it actually exists depends on the pre-orders...the pre-orders are kind of paying for the pressing
Principalpoop: procol, procal sounds like fiber drink
Dexter Fong: Well, I like them too but iit's a big jump from Poco to procul, although they do both start with P
||||||||| Catherwood says "9:58 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs llanwydd by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
cease: oh i see. then it should be pushed more. you listening? go and buy anything.
Principalpoop: heck, then I might have to pre-order that, rats
Dexter Fong: Night llan
cease: we'll fry what you won't touch
cease: oh, he left?
Dexter Fong: It's frying time
Principalpoop: Houston, we lost daytona
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
cease: how are things in uk, stones?
Dexter Fong: Charleton Houston, hopelessly miscast as a young female astronaut delvered his lines in his usual stentorian monotone
cease: i wewnt to occupy vancouver last sat. good turn out, good vibes
Principalpoop: they wanted angelica
H Stones: its a long story, cease and little of it any good
Principalpoop: is that his daughter?
Dexter Fong: Hey stones, I heard the riot mobs burned down a Sony warehouse and a lotta good vinyl went up

Dexter Fong: And *she* can keep it, P.U.
Principalpoop: don't bogart that joint

Dexter Fong: Pass the doobey to the left, mon
cease: hump it over to me

H Stones: i am occupying myself Poop
Principalpoop: i have some mail for you, addressed to occupant then
Dexter Fong: A job few of us could handle, Stones
H Stones: Honey sends greetings and hopes to be back online in a week or so
cease: hope she's well
Dexter Fong: Yes
Principalpoop: best of luck to her, internet withdrawal symptoms can be cruel
cease: i think more anythinge flogging on facebook would be a good idea, taylor
cease: that's basically what facebook's there for
Principalpoop: yes, use the socio medium
Dexter Fong: Poop: The answer to internet withdrawal is a big, flatscreen tv, cable with about 1000 channels, and a quick change remote
H Stones: i closed my facebook account it was full of junk and people trying to find something to do
Principalpoop: go your own way is what fleetwood mac recommends
Dexter Fong: If you go your own way
cease: well, their own way hasn't been that lucrative for the firesigns
Dexter Fong: it'l be another lonely day
Principalpoop: it is not the same, lack of interaction fong, saying me too out loud to the tv achieves nothing
cease: to the extent that they would wish, and to propel further projects
Principalpoop: hey, i just repeat lyrics from my jukebox, dont get on my case
Dexter Fong: Is it time for my afkfr, Catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 10:09 PM"
cease: sid?
Dexter Fong: Thanks, C'wood
Principalpoop: he is planning the heist
SidFudd: "Death cab for cutie / Death cab for cutie / Someone's gonna make you pay your fare"
SidFudd: Sorry, just singing along to my Bonzo Dog Band Infinite Playlist TM
Principalpoop: that's all right, any old way that you want to do
H Stones: Be careful, my pink half of the drainpipe is still wet
Principalpoop: goodness
Dexter Fong: Dance with me, Henry
cease: i think the lads should promote anythynge on facebook and on rfo
SidFudd: We'd actually like to get an MP3 store going at FiresignTheatre.com
cease: how are their fans to know to preorder?
SidFudd: A number of exclusive items are all ready to go, including Firesign live at Barnsdall Gallery Theatre in Hollywood from October last year
cease: doc has talked about it.
cease: tell me and i'll buy it.
Principalpoop: when will there be live streaming of shows?
Principalpoop: i think some of the new formats cannot be saved, just watched while live...
SidFudd: I believe Bergman promotes this stuff regularly on RFO - also Phil Fountain/Brian Westley/Tom O'Neill post regular Firesign updates on Facebook
Dexter Fong: There was one back in the late 90's, The STEAM Powered Internet Show
H Stones: i had to make do with an Aldis lamp

Dexter Fong: Hell, there oughta be a FST App
Dexter Fong: Watching "In the Next World" on Android
cease: good idea, dex
cease: but i think doc and merl are overworked enough
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 10:22 PM, dragging MarkTween by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yahoo?"
Principalpoop: hail tween
MarkTween: Hello, Dear Friends
cease: maybe bergman's friends at apple could do it
cease: hi tween
Dexter Fong: Merl is fer sure, he can't get Nino up and running, I don't know who anyone is
MarkTween: A Firesign App, what a great idea :)
Dexter Fong: Hey tweeny
MarkTween: I've never owned a cell phone, let alone a 'smart phone', but that sounds like a winner
cease: maybe the pink hotel burns down game as a game, wasnt that the idea?
MarkTween: That'd be cool, cease
Principalpoop: player, do you want to try again?
MarkTween: An app which is the gateway to the Funway, perhaps?
MarkTween: Using the Funway as the theme?

Principalpoop: i saw a video of that same period of his life somewhere, probably here
Dexter Fong: They wouldn't have wiped it if he'd played God save the Queen
Principalpoop: http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?/forum/49-tv-shows/
Dexter Fong: Or even Lord Luv a Duck
MarkTween: cease - He's doing OK, but his health hasn't been the same since that damned tick bite
