residualecho: YAHOO
Elayne: Sorry, I was in another window. I Tom here?

Cease: and i only use Cat here occasionally
||||||||| Bebop Lobo reminds all you hep cats to listen to Firesign’s NEW 24/7 RADIO STATION Click to listen anytime!"
residualecho: Hey, it's OK, we're all associates of The FIresign Theatre
Cease: true enough, ehoc.
Cease: i have video of echo having dinner with you, elayne
Elayne: Yes, but "Cease" is sort of a bastardization of your initials, so that's closer to your real name than a Firesign ref is.
Cease: true, el
Elayne: Who's echo in real life?
Cease: from "c.simril"
Cease: this guy
||||||||| Babe Boomer says “We’re Live On PBS!” in the video WEIRDLY COOL Catch Firesign’s Live TV Studio Performance On DVD!

Beet: Greetings, Merlyn
Cease: the springfield was very important to the firesigns as they were forming
Cease: you just missed yhourself, merl
residualecho: One of my best memories at Imagineering was watching crows cracking walnuts in the parking lots and fighting over who could claim the spoils.
Merlyn: I miss me
Cease: ossman says that about springfield in one of the rfo podcasts
Elayne: I'm jealous of anyone with memories, echo. I remember I visited Disneyland, but that's about it.
residualecho: But you hung out where they invented Disneyland too
Elayne: Okay echo, I'll say this one more time before I leave. I. Don't. Remember.

DJTweeny: Hi residualecho
residualecho: Hi DJT
Cease: doc tech wrote that intro
Cease: it's getting too hot to have a long beard now
residualecho: The really useful thing about not remembering is that there are carefully rerecorded recharacterizations of reality so we can always be reminded of what we would have remembered had we not been several people since then.
Cease: elyane returns
Cease: reminds me of Upload, echo
residualecho: Upload on Hulu?
Cease: i saw it on amazon

Cease: Hey Fudd
Beet: Hi Sid
Cease: Did Doc send you a copy of this?
Captain Equinox: Great stuff!
||||||||| Chick Lambert fades in and says: "I have no idea who this Friedstein Theatre is, but they 're honing in on my territory over at Duke of Madness Motors. Give 'em the what for, Storm!" "RUFF! RUFF!"
SidFudd: yes he did, thanks
SidFudd: Hey you crazy heads - can you do me a favor? If you bought "Duke of Madness Motors" you probably know that the "Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Inquisition" episode is just 38 minutes long because there was no known complete aircheck. Well now there is - a fan sent me a low-fidelity copy of the whole thing, so I used it to fill in the gaps and make a new complete version
DJTweeny: allo Sid
||||||||| Captain Equinox flies in through the transom, landing on the bearskin rug. "Attention, solstice squad! After working a 12-hour day, I like to kick back and swill some juice out of a genuine Firesign coffee mug or Bear Whiz Beer stein!"
SidFudd: It turns out it's got a lost "Mutt and Smut" episode! Anyway now that there's a complete version we want everyone to have it for free, especially the people who've already bought "Duke". Here's a download link: http://footnoteconspiracy.com/datadump/FT%20DF%201970-10-18%20-%20A%20Funny%20Thing%20Happened%20v2.mp3
Captain Equinox: WOW
DJTweeny: wow Sid
SidFudd: I'm no longer on Facebook so if you could spread it around I'd appreciate it
||||||||| The TV flickers on, and Ralph Spoilsport appears: "How can you drive in two places at once when you don't have a genuine Ralph Spoilsport license plate frame? Get one for your car and one for the plate in your head!"
Cease: We sure will, Fuddy
DJTweeny: Thanks so much Sid
Cease: did the library of congress get all the rfo shows pete did?
Cease: kpfk, krla, etc etc
General Dysfunction: uh oh, ruh roh, gotta walla go
||||||||| "9:49 PM? I'm late!" exclaims General Dysfunction, who then rushes out through the french doors and down through the flowerbeds.
SidFudd: LOC got absolutely everything we had in the archive, so yes, they've got everything we know about, including stuff fans sent me that I had on my hard drive
Cease: by gen
Cease: but you never got a copy of the last exit to fresno?
SidFudd: I got furloughed from my job so I'm doing nothing but Firesign and Duck's Breath archival & production work seven days a week - if the circumstances weren't so awful, it'd be a dream come true
Cease: i hope i live long enough to hear the krla shows again.
Beet: G'Nite Gen Dys.
SidFudd: nope, "Last Tunnel to Fresno" never turned up
Beet: Thanks Sid for the download!
Cease: they were instrumental in my persuing this path
Cease: you were at the bar on whidbey with bergman, ossman and proctor when we talked about that.
SidFudd: it was nice going through the Duck's Breath paper archive and seeing not only copies of Firesignal but correspondence that showed they'd talked to Austin and Ossman back in the day for advice
Cease: someone had skimmed out the middle hours of the krla shows. bergman thought he knew who it was
Cease: i have to explore more of their material, fudd
SidFudd: what's diabolical is that during one of the Radio Hour Hour shows from 1970, someone brings up the topic of the Magic Mushroom shows and Austin says "Oh, yes, I've got all those"
Cease: i remember that. that gave me hope
||||||||| Ralph Spoilsport drives in through the door and says "Buy a new or used T-shirt from the Firesign Theatre Cafepress store! Hurry before this sentence ends!"
Cease: i told you i leant my copy to someone in sask and never got it back
Cease: i was trying to get undreground radio going in my home province at the time
Cease: i recorded the whole mushroom ouvre from a replay in 68 on as irecall, kppc dude.

Cease: by cap
Captain Equinox: Keep '[em Flying!
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Beet: Nite Cap'm
SidFudd: no I don't think I've ever heard "Peter Paul & Harry"
SidFudd: Peter did keep a crappy video recording of "Help Me Out Of This Head" tho
SidFudd: soooooooooooo much stuff left to reissue but right now the priority is the Rhino "Millennium" trilogy - we've completely remastered it and it'll come with a full set of scripts
Beet: You made my voice sound better than it normally does.
Cease: Krassner had a vhs copy when i visited him in 95. i wanted to see it, but it wasnt possible at the time.
