||||||||| Elayne enters at 8:00 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and hurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 8:00 PM, dragging Merlyn by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this Yahoo ™?"
Elayne: Evenin' all! I finally remembered to get here at 7 PM Eastern instead of 9
DJTweeny: Hey Elayne
Cease: thiesw is good stuff. wish there were more chatters to hear this. a gem from Melinda.
Cease: hi merl
Elayne: Can't stay that long, want to watch NY baseball whilst I still can.
Cease: hji el.
llanwydd: Hi Merlyn
Elayne: Hey Cat, Kurt, Brian, Llan!
Cease: are the yankees moving to salt lake city?
Elayne: Kurt, you seem to have triplicated tonight.
Merlyn: Evecy
Rufus_T_Firetween: They're going to outlaw NY baseball?
Elayne: Wherever did you hear that, Cat?
Rufus_T_Firetween: yeah, 3 computers to do this show Elayne
Cease: giants moved, dodges moved, why no yankees?
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Shoes for Industry! Shoes for the Dead!"
Elayne: Oh, I see what you mean. No, I have to watch NY baseball in September because neither team will be around next month. :)
DJTweeny: Hey Merlyn
Cease: true
Cease: my jays are unlikely to get into playoffs. too erratic.
Elayne: Also, it's my 21st blogiversary. I honestly didn't think blogs would still be around.
Cease: one good thing is rookies doing a fine job of replacing injured stars
Cease: you turned me on to blogging when i visited you in 05.
Elayne: Indeed, Cat. Nice watching the new younger Yankees players, especially Dominguez. He's a lot of fun to watch, and there's such joy in his face when he does well.
Elayne: Well, that was like 18 years ago, Cat. Honestly, I thought blogging would be passe by now.
Cease: it should always be a kid's game
Cease: by the way, i wil be tuning into chat from the denver airport next week.
Cease: on an earlier chat, i was just contemplatring the trip to denver and y'all contributed mightily to my decision to go now.
Elayne: Ooh, Denver! Never been there. Have fun!
Cease: will try
Cease: i dont venture into new cities to have less than fun.
Elayne: I don't venture anywhere much any more. COVID transmission rate in NYC is back up to 100. :(
Cease: Elayen, you are onright now on this collage
Cease: now robbin.
Elayne: Fortunately a LOT fewer deaths, but I still don't want to catch it despite being quadruple-vaccinated and masking up...
Cease: hg wells and you, his agent
Elayne: Thanks for the warning Cat, glad I don't have the sound on.
Merlyn: Hey Cease, DJ, El, Llan, Tween
Cease: hello again, merl
Cease: I'm Mr Eldritch.
Cease: Imagining identifying yourself as "Mr"
Cease: in japan, that would like me introducing me with "san" as a suffix.
||||||||| "8:00 PM? 8:00 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Not Ed should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Not Ed enters and sits on the divan.
Not Ed: Hey!!
DJTweeny: Hey Mr. Ed
Not Ed: Tweeny!
Elayne: Cat, have you ever been to Salmon n' Bannock? It's at the Vancouver airport.
Elayne: Hey NotEd!
Merlyn: Hi NotEd
Elayne: ancouver's only fully Indigenous owned and operated restaurant.
Not Ed: Hey Elayne!
Not Ed: llan, Merl, Ruf
Elayne: My friend Kai, who also lives in Vancouver, says "it's a cool experience."
Cease: Sounds familiar, El. Will look into it. I'm fond of both
Cease: salmon and bannock.
Cease: looking into denver restaurants for next week.
Cease: not a seafood city, that far inland.
llanwydd: airport restaurants are often better than eating on the plane
Elayne: The salmon restaurant is at the Vancouver airport, you'll have to go there to get to Denver. :)
Not Ed: suddenly I want a denver sandwich yum
llanwydd: I would recommend the one in Syracuse if it is as good as it was in 1982
Elayne: I would look for bison or somesuch in Denver.
Cease: hi not
Cease: indeed, el.
Elayne: Gotta go, Yankees are on.
Elayne: Next week (if I remember), all.
llanwydd: nite elayne
||||||||| Catherwood says "8:00 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Elayne by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Cease: hope they win, el
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Bottles close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 8:00 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the vestibule.
llanwydd: Hi Bottles
Cease: hi bottles
Bottles: I yall
Bottles: I made it. Crazy tech up to my ears.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "It goes in - it must come out."
Cease: got a chance from your busy-nees at station?
Not Ed: Hi Bottles!

||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Open up, your door knocker fell off!"

||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "And while we're on the subject..."
llanwydd: cool
Bottles: Wow! Not Ed when does that take effect? Any idea?
Not Ed: Jan 1
Not Ed: "Substances covered by the bill include psilocybin (mushrooms), Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and mescaline (excluding peyote). The bill also triggers a process to craft policy proposals for group therapeutic use of psychedelics."
Bottles: We've been without a studio, but as of yesterday we're fully functional again.

Cease: i was looking for places near my hotel that served interesting breakfasts and all i could fine was a scrambled egg place.
llanwydd: this reminds me of casteneda
Bottles: I'm trying Cease, also monitoring the station.
Not Ed: catherwood bring everyone a hot cluster and a bottle of Bear Whiz

Not Ed: he played in a "back to the 50's" band
Bottles: Lennon went thru a personality change, I'd say.
Rufus_T_Firetween: I did acid when a new album from Yes came out called Close To The edge. We listened on headpones together. Was a pretty astounding experience.
Not Ed: neato
