Cease: Merl, if he shows up
Elayne: So I need to figure out like the two most recent offerings on Bandcamp.
johan amadeus myjetski: i'm somewhat knowledgable, Elayne, but far from expert
Elayne: Thanks Johan, do you remember the two most recent Firesign offerings?
Elayne: That's really all I need to know
||||||||| 8:00 PM: Zen Cosmos jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past year and a half!"
llanwydd: hey zen
Cease: HI Zen
Beet: Hi, Zen
Zen Cosmos: 128K url is not working tonight, I had to use the 16K one
Cease: One is In the Water
Elayne: The last one I bought was Fools in Space, so it's the two after that
Cease: the live stuff is fairly recent.
Elayne: Cat, do you mean Before They Changed the Water? Pretty sure I have that too
Elayne: I think Anytown USA is one of the ones I need
Elayne: There was one other, looking through Bandcamp now for release dates
Cease: Yeah that's Very Recent
johan amadeus myjetski: looks like "no Band is an Island" is the latest

Beet: Greetings, Deputy.
DJ Tweeny: Hi Zen
Rufus T Firetween: ** Read about DEAR FRIENDS at >> https://www.firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?item=df-ln
Zen Cosmos: VLC player didn't accept the 128K url...
DJ Tweeny: Try removing the .m3u from the link
DJ Tweeny: VLC is a little finniky that way
Cease: that's proctor doing his mother's voice
Zen Cosmos: it worked without doing that until tonight...
Cease: of all the fireguys, he's the one who talked about his mother the most
Elayne: Back from my Bandcamp sojourn. I think I'm just missing Anytown USA at this point. Thanks all.
Cease: always here to help, El.
Elayne: Well, that was more exhausting than it had any right to be. That threshold of 65 years old really creeps up on ya.
Cease: Doc promises my new play will be ready by March. Unfortunately without your voice
Elayne: Time to break out the smokables and call it a night. Next week, all!
||||||||| At 8:00 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Elayne!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
Cease: smoke on, el
johan amadeus myjetski: 65 won't be creeping up on me anymore... 8-|

Cease: every fan should have that.
Rufus T Firetween: indeed
Beet: One of the most phenomenally complete documents concerning Firesign.
johan amadeus myjetski: Dear Friends double lp was the first FST that i bought
Cease: and speaking of stuff every firefan should have, check out bruce snyder's calendars. they are amazing!
johan amadeus myjetski: followed quickly by Two Places at Once
Cease: www.designandtime.com
Cease: Proctor was peddling them for a donation at the kpfk pledge drive during their Sexy Boomer show on Tuesday
johan amadeus myjetski: love the TV Glide
Beet: Gotta get one
Rufus T Firetween: One of my all-time favorites here
Rufus T Firetween: such a great parody of late-night record ads
||||||||| It's 2:30 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Deputy Dang - dead from the common cold
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
johan amadeus myjetski: if i wasn'tJ.A.M., i would be Don G. O'Vanni
Rufus T Firetween: This one is also a favorite
: It's because they're sad.
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in at 8:00 PM, dragging Deputy Dang by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this web surfer?"
Rufus T Firetween: great 'infomercial' parody
Rufus T Firetween: wb Deputy
Deputy Dang: They're called blue because they're sad. Unless they have milk.
johan amadeus myjetski: i remember the chinchilla infomescials on tv in the late 60s
Deputy Dang: thank you. I don't know what happened.
Rufus T Firetween: they actually had chinchilla ads?
johan amadeus myjetski: DD experienced the 'winking out' phenoena
Deputy Dang: Chia pet ads?
Merlyn: ya
johan amadeus myjetski: absolutely, they had chinchilla ads!

Rufus T Firetween: johan amadeus myjetski: absolutely, they had chinchilla ads! << wow, so it was a real parody
johan amadeus myjetski: can i have some of your purple berries?
Cease: love the csn version too, but grace's voice takes this to another level
johan amadeus myjetski: probably keep us both alive...
Cease: the way she sings "you don't need us" still sends chills
johan amadeus myjetski: i love both versionstoo, but you're right GS's voice elevates this version into another dimension
Cease: written by kantner, crosby and stills
Cease: pual krassner has a funny story about being mistaken for paul kantner.
Deputy Dang: due to typographical error?
Cease: he was coming home from the cannabis cup in amsterdam and paranoid he hadn't gotten rid of all cannabis. fearfully he approached customs guy in us and the guy thanked him for all the greatg music.
Cease: mistaking him for paul kantner
johan amadeus myjetski: a topographical erratum?
Cease: just from pasport name
Cease: passport said Krassner but customs guy read krantner
Cease: so paul concluded he brought back a key if he knew that would happen
johan amadeus myjetski: that's a PCAI
Cease: could have
johan amadeus myjetski: Van the man!
Rufus T Firetween: There's a concert Krassner did wher the guy who voices Homer Simpson introduces him and says "Let's hope he opens with Crown Of Creation..."
Beet: FFavorite Joni album
Rufus T Firetween: 'Irony Lives' is the Krassner album, and it's great
Cease: yes, that's on one of his albums
Cease: they're all great
Beet: Just purchased the 2023 calendar.
Rufus T Firetween: FOX wouldn't let them use the opening introduction from Homer though, but it's available on the net
Cease: good for you, Beet
Cease: tis indeed, tween. i wonder if his website still exists
Beet: I like his work immensely. Great artist.
Cease: he contributed a joke to my play Neal Amid. well, it was his idea and he allowed me to use it.
Cease: the drug czar.
Cease: actor's fucked up the joke, which is supposed to be paul thinking czar is a new drug
Tweeny: looks like paulkrassner.com is gone :/
Cease: i'm surprised one of his friends didntg keep it up
Tweeny: lol at the drug 'tzar'
Cease: i have to find a way to keep the bitsite up and running after i'm gone.
Tweeny: If anyone has a copy of Irony Lives and would like the Homer Simpson opening to add to it, I can provide it
Merlyn: ok
Tweeny: I downloaded it from paulkrassner.com
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "What you don't mean won't hurt you."
Tweeny: It was a free offering
Tweeny: and it's hilarious hearing Homer Simpson introduce Krassner
Cease: it is indeed
Cease: homer confuses him with kantner too
Rufus T Firetween: yep, that's the point
Rufus T Firetween: why Homer says, "Let's hope he opens with Crown Of Creation"
johan amadeus myjetski: love the voices on Crow of Creation
johan amadeus myjetski: Crown
Cease: crow?
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 3 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Cease: this would make a great bit of animation: crow of creation.
johan amadeus myjetski: Crow of Creation would be kinda blue, wouldn't you think?
Cease: maybe i'll ask chat gpt to make one for me
Cease: the crows in fritz the cat flick
Deputy Dang: These are really great, Cat--thank you so much!
Cease: maybe people turhing into silver crows, ala eykiw
Cease: the collage, dang?
Rufus T Firetween: One more left ;)
Deputy Dang: the synthesis, yes
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Offer not good after curfew in sectors R or N."
Cease: my idea is not to make ungreat things
Beet: So far, so good.
johan amadeus myjetski: i'd say you were successful thus far, Cease
Cease: good batting average, eh
Cease: i worried about this trilogy having bits that were too long
Deputy Dang: And there's always _something_ I haven't heard before. Thank you again!
