September (earlyish) would suit me rather than June for a couple of reasons - first more time to get the $ orgnized and secondly i'm taking 2 weeks of in a weeks time for the stones tour here so semptember is over six months away and I can reasonably ask for another two weeks off
the big impediment i see is this (and aint this always the way) - and without wishing to bore you with the minutiae of my personal life - after 2 - 3 years of pretty much living the life of a footloose and fancy free bachelor i'm presently involved in something which is, as they say, developing - if things keep going the way they are sept. would be a logical time when words like (gulp) commitment would start to be discussed - so i would then have to explain why, at such a crucial time, i am going to go alone to the other side of the world to party with a bunch of people i've never even met as opposed to taking a trip to the greek islands for a pagan wedding ceremony - still i suppose if a relationship can survive that it could survive anything (and must, therefore, be worthwhile)- that's it!! i'll tell her it's my last fling of single man madness before i settle into domestic bliss - and before you ask, no i don't think it would be a good idea if i brought her with me - still a lot can happen in six months (and probably will)
i'd have to be back by Sep. 21 that's her b/day
but i tell you - this is no idle day-dream and could well turn into a reality!!
keep me posted

Flea...It was NEVER about circumscision. ...If I REALLY wanted to be an asshole about it, I coulda just said nothing, let Lew show up, and then let the shit hit the fan.
First off, I'm sorry I posted my thoughts in a public forum. But actually this isn't something that has ANYTHING to do with the "real" world - as far as I'm concerned, we've been buds for a LONG time and this doesn't change that anything about that underlying fact - it's all about life here in the imaginary tree forts we inhabit. And your grudge against Keno is something which creeps everybody out. (If I'm WRONG about that, I hope the readers of this post will correct me.) The thread was about the fun we could have in Asheville, and although Joey was perhaps baiting you, it might've been better not to rise to the bait. The chances of Lew showing up are very slim. Actually now that you've threatened him, they're probably nil. From what I understand you made similar comments about Denver, and that was just to stir up shit, which succeeded. (You weren't REALLY thinking about going to Denver, were you?) And people come to ME about it because I'm your friend. So it does concern me. The posts about Denver were all deleted by the hosts of this site, who are Keno's friends. I'm pretty sure they'd rather NOT read them again.
The whole "I have no control over myself so I'm not to blame" is a weak excuse. I'm perhaps the only poster here who's NOT an attorney so I'll let someone else decide if it would wash in court - but you're saying stuff here which could easily be construed as real threats.
The really BIZARRE thing is that the C10 was COMPLETELY an adjunct to Lew's board - it had NOTHING to do with Rocks Off - and one of the things we discussed all weekend was how we all wished Lew was there, and how exactly DO you pronounce "Keno"? So, although I'm happy to put my head in the sand and pretend Keno doesn't exist while I'm in THIS imaginary tree fort, I have a hard time ignoring your comments or my obligation to say something about them. I was just scrolling to the bottom of the thread to say "Hey, I'm IN!" about Asheville when I read what you said, and I guess maybe I should have done what everyone else did and nervously change the subject. Sorry. Hey, great car Nanky! My mom had a '67 Eldorado when I was growing up, baby blue w/white leather interior, power everything. It ROCKED.
Plus, I'm confused regarding your comments to Max - were you kidding in your post to ME, or was the original post to Joey the joke? Or were you kidding when you said you were kidding?
The story of the Fantastic Four pencil box was apocryphal. I never had one! And I don't think SS had been born yet when I was in fifth grade, so I wasn't suggesting that HE stole it!
Actually I shoulda just posted about the pencil box and left it at that. Let's all pretend I did.
Oh, and sometimes when I do something stupid - like ruin my life, as I've been doing relentlessly for the past several years - it's ok with me if you DO say something. |

LOL!
Of course it was all a ruse! You said it yourself...you couldn't believe the stupidity of it. Well, DUH! I'm a lot of things...stupid ain't one of them.
A couple of things I said in my reply to you, was in fact true.
The whole Lew thing was never about circumscision. And Lew and I tossed a lot of email back and forth right after that. I don't talk about it because it's pointless. It doesn't matter. I don't post there, and I have nothing to do with Lew, so why go on about it. Over and done...history. But as for beating him up....well that is ridiculous. I work with cops. If I get busted for assault, my career goes down the toilet. I like my job too much to jeopardize it over someone that I care nothing at all about. Maybe that is what Maxy picked up on. I'll have to be more careful next time.
I have no problem at all with Lew showing up. It would give him a chance to apologize to me. HA!
We were buds long before we ever heard of "the internet". We will be buds long after the internet is obsolete, and the next new big thing is here. It will take a lot more than a kneejerk reaction to one of my "righteous indignation" posts to change that.
I think you should ride along to ASS with nanky & me. A road trip will do you good.

It's actually pretty doubtful that Marvel Comics actually marketed Fantastic Four pencil boxes back in the day. I was a big time Marvel geek and I never saw no ads for no pencil box, at least not in no 70s. I had a trapper keeper myself and if anyone woulda messed with that thing I would've at least cried to my teacher about it and got 'em in trouble. It's always fun to talk ephemeral apocrypha.
How long is this thing gonna last? Max is lookin' at a short weekend - SS and the boys are on the road for who knows how long. What I want to know is how long I myself am responsible for keeping you lunatics unbored and out of jail?
And yes indeed from my C10NOT perspective it is in no way nesASSary to be C10 to come to the ASS - as an attendee you will be one of the ASS1? and what an honor that will be for all of us oh yes.

Absolutely right, my fellow Marvel geek, except I'm talkin' 1960s. I woulda KILLED for an FF pencil box. Actually I'm still pretty steamed that Sue Storm the Invisible Girl married that damned egghead Reed Richards. Lucky for them I couldn't find the Baxter Building when I went to NYC or it woulda been clobberin' time!
Actually I was far more interested in Spiderman (I started reading him at issue #12), the Mighty Thor (especially episodes in Asgard), Sgt Fury & His Howling Commandos, and especially Dr. Strange. Where have all the existential comic books gone anyway?
Marvel ruled when I was a kid. |

Cubs sue rooftop clubs near Wrigley Field
Bloomberg News
Dec. 18, 2002 03:19 PM
Chicago � The Chicago Cubs sued owners of nine rooftop clubs across from Wrigley Field that sell ticket packages to fans, seeking unspecified damages for lost revenue.
The suit, filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, claims the clubs "unjustly enrich themselves to the tune of millions of dollars each year" by selling seats with views of the field from buildings across Sheffield and Waveland avenues, while the Cubs get "absolutely nothing."
The team has said the rooftops, which are licensed by the City of Chicago as entertainment establishments, generate close to $7 million in annual revenue.
Team President Andy MacPhail said in August that the rooftop owners should pay the Cubs $3 million annually.
A message left at MacPhail's office wasn't immediately returned.
Negotiations between the team, owned by the Tribune Co., and the rooftop owners broke down two weeks ago, said Jim Murphy, the owner of one of the rooftops and the president of the Wrigley Field Rooftop Association.
"I thought we were pretty close," Murphy said. "We were waiting for a counteroffer and this was their answer."
The suit comes two days after the city effectively blocked the team's plans to expand Wrigley Field's bleachers by lifting a freeze on considering landmark status for the 88-year-old ballpark. The Cubs planned a $14 million renovation of the bleachers that they hoped would add 2,000 seats, which would have partially blocked the view from the rooftops.
"They can't sue the community, they can't sue the city, so they come after us," Murphy said.
Murphy said the team did nothing about the rooftop viewing since moving into the ballpark in 1916, two years after it opened. This spring, the Cubs put screens up behind the bleachers to block the view.
Wrigley Field is the second-oldest park in Major League Baseball, two years newer than Boston's Fenway Park, and at 39,059 seats is the fourth smallest behind Fenway, Pittsburgh's PNC Park and Florida's Pro Player Stadium.

Joey, we're very happy to have Steve back this year! But alas...it won't be the same without Harry by his side...
As far as the neighborhood goes, they can't seem to come to an agreement yet.

Keno is "C10A-*" meaning he's "C10A" because his application was approved by FOUR (4) members of the C10 (actually we were just honored that he took the time to drink up with our drunken asses before he went to the Shidoobee gig at Paramount), and "-*" because there would be no C10 without Keno.
C10 has always been about spreading our sloppy love to those not fortunate enough to be "expressed" upon. C10 is all about adding to the C10A, hence Riffie, Scopie, HTM/Alex, Gazzie, Voodie, Jaxxie, everyone at YOTI, parmeda, more peeps that I don't even know or can't remember, etc., etc.,
In fact, if you meet a C10 for a Stones reason, you're probably C10A. The only exception I can think of is Josh, who was denied membership for the unbelievable 4th(?) time last January. What gives my brothers? Just because he is gay??? Who cares if Josh is a flaming fag? Let us look amongst our own "Howe" ranks before we condemn Josh to bannishment. Thats my last thought on this and I will not respond to all of your previous e-mails regarding Josh.
Here's hoping its all a big love grope down in N.C. I vote for Fowth of July, when drinking is a really popular thing to do, BUT if the only time SIA (yes SIA!) can make it is September, I say the REAL out of towners call the shots! Fucking A!

All Blues Clubs are on the North side of town now execpt
for Buddy Guys which is in the south loop.
Most of the blues clubs are within a mile or two of Wrigley.
This would be good for 2004 as Ashville is confirmed |

I certainly am not trying to shirk my responsibilities or take the ASS out of Assville, but is Chicago, maybe, a better place for the ASS (which would become the ANNUAL Summer Summit) than Asheville?
I only ask because, you know, there is not that much STONESY to do here, Chi-Town is pretty centrally located and flights are purty easy to get, and I dunno, I would like to take a little trip myself. I also have a wedding I could go to the last weekend in August in Illinois, and I could extend that trip to include the ASS in early Sept.
Who's totally hooked on the idea of Asheville? SIA? Max? Fiji? Seriously, if you all want to come to Asheville I am delighted and PROUD to host, and we will have fun, but I would guarantee my presence in Chicago and find the idea interesting enough to discuss.
