Elayne: Hey Tween, did Jeremy B ever show up? I know I missed a couple chat weeks.
DJTweeny: If he did, he didn't identify himself
Cease: We've been in touch via email, El.
Cease: Sounds like he's busy on thursday evenings.
Elayne: Ah, I see. Thanks Cat!
Elayne: I really wanted to bring him back into the wider Firesign fan community, so as long as y'all are in touch I feel like I've done my "job" here,
Cease: and speaking of hearing from folks, I heard from Terry's son Nile Southern about the collages I did about his dad.
DJTweeny: Many people are, which is why I was wondering about switching the chat to Friday
Cease: Paul Krassner sent him the link. He was quite happy with them.
DJTweeny: cool Cease
Cease: You've been connecting people with each other for much longer than I've known you, El.
Elayne: Hmm, Friday chat... well, nothing agin' that I suppose.
Elayne: 'S what I do, Cat.
Cease: That's the first time ANYONE has responded to the collages I made about their parents.
Cease: I always send them links.
DJTweeny: Proctor is so amazing with accents
Elayne: See, you do what I do as well, you connect folks.
Cease: Just not successfully, El
Elayne: Well, I'm a professional. :) That's what an exec assistant does, or at least a big part of the job.
Elayne: So Tween, do you think you might want to take a Facebook poll on what night works best, or just try Fridays and see how that works?
Cease: that's an idea, El.
Cease: Everyday is fine for me.
DJTweeny: heh
DJTweeny: Sure, I could poll the folks on FB and Twitter. Will make a note to do that this week
Elayne: See, it's what I do, that organizing thing. :)
DJTweeny: :-)
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : For me, it’d be a matter of getting used to the new day. Phudd’s deviant of adapt & survive
Cease: I'm out of town next week. Back the following week with a new collage trilogy about Harlan Ellison. It begins with Elayne talking to David Ossman on the radio
Cease: Ossman had forgotten the name, so Elayne had to remind him, By the Light of the Silvery.
Elayne: Oh dear.
DJTweeny: So what are we doing for a show next week, folks?
Elayne: Wish I had some recordings of speaking w Harlan, but I only spoke with him once.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Looking forward to the Ellison collage, cat!
Cease: Ellison asked them for a contribution to his Dangerous Visions books and they gave him Silvery.
||||||||| Babe Boomer says “We’re Live On PBS!” in the video WEIRDLY COOL Catch Firesign’s Live TV Studio Performance On DVD!
Elayne: Was witness to my friend Leah zinging him. Don'tremember what she said but he was properly zinged.

Elayne: He was the best man at my friends Peter and Kath's wedding.
