Well, you've read the notes, the notes had go-go boots and were Indie, and now it is time for you to post until the go-go cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PROPAEDEUTIC!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
-
First post after BK!
-
Can't comment on the Topic of the Day until the campaign goes live!
-
Right now, I'm listening to disc 2 of "Fuller at Fox."
-
And thoroughly enjoying it.
-
Finished the commentary, so that's done, at least the first pass is and I don't have to look at it again until mid-week, when I'll finesse it.
-
Good morning to all
-
Looking forward to seeing the campaign
-
Today is my son's birthday.
Happy Birthday, David!

Good morning, all.
-
Happy birthday to Druxy's son, David.
-
Too much work to do on the last day before vacation.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Oh my. Is it a Monday?
-
Three more days off before I'm back to the show, but there's plenty of stuff waiting to be done around here.
-
Happy Birthday to DAVID the SON OF DRUXY!
-
Yesterday I was looking at record players and turntables, but none of those on EBAY or AMAZON had good reviews about the SOUND.....so I decided I would just rehook my Audacity turntable back up to my surround system. It isn't perfect, of course....no real bass or treble adjustments.....but I did spend about three hours listening to VINYL last night!
It was great!
-
INDIEGO CAMPAIGN at 10 a.m. PST.....according to the notes.
-
They way Annette is driving in that photo - it looks like she may hard pan left and hit your house anyway, MR BK.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Thye housecleaning continues. i am determined to dispose of one huge CD shelf by the end of the day.
-
Joshie arrives at some point to see the lay of the land. I hope he can cart some things away with him.
-
Many of my bros and sissies are coming over today to celebrate what would have been my parents' 69th wedding anniversary.....PARTY! They made it to 67 years!

A nice run. Mom and Dad have made it to 62 and counting.
-
Monday morning greetings! The heat continues here in SW Ohio :P
-
My mom died in 1995, so mine made it to 47 years.

I miss having a turntable.

Happy Birthday to David, son of DR Druxy. I expect enjoyed the video.
-
Oh, it's Banned Books Week - you know what to do...
-
Good morning.
-
Had breakfast around 8:30 a.m. Then went out and rented local storage space for my "goods" which must be re-stored until/if I can get my mom's stuff organized and disposed of (she has a lot of stuff she doesn't need).
We then went to the grocery store and the post office and then back to the grocery store where she last had her sunglasses. Happily, she found them in the cart she used and put away in the parking lot.
Sigh.
We will be going out for lunch.
-
By now, everyone in Johnston knows my business. Every time she's on the phone, my mom is telling her friends when my goods will arrive, how many storage units I had in California, what I plan on doing with my stuff and what I've done with the stuff I had mailed and she had reported on every time a piece arrived at the post office.
Small towns.
Sheesh.
-
Pest control is arriving tomorrow at 3 p.m. for its quarterly treatment of our house and my Aunt Doris' house (across the street). Apparently, we're going to have to vacuum and sweep everything so the pest control man won't see anything amiss, despite my disarray.
-
I haven't yet asked if we clean before the monthly housekeeper comes by..

So far this morning I've made 1 AAUW phone call, 1 settling-Mom's-affairs phone call, and 1 phone call to my sister. Had to leave messages for all 3 and now I'm waiting for call-backs. Bet they'll all call back while I'm in the shower...
-
So far this morning I have been to the grocery store and back.
-
I haven't yet asked if we clean before the monthly housekeeper comes by..
Yes. You do. :D
We recently resumed a monthly thing here...and...yes, we do, too.
-
Current score:
Shower 1, Phone calls 0
::)
-
I'm up, I'm up - I'm guessing about six hours of sleep, as I had a bit of trouble falling asleep.
-
All right, one final check on the Indiegogo and then we go live.
-
Where's the link?
-
Oh, it's Banned Books Week - you know what to do...
Yes. I do.
-
Band books? Like the life story of John Philip Sousa? W.C. Handy?
(A little yoke to lighten the already light mood).
-
Back from lunch. Baked chicken, green beans, broccoli casserole, devilled eggs and a biscuit.
-
I am full. Almost, but not quite, stuffed.
-
I am ready for a nap.
-
FWIW, the blu ray of "Brigadoon" is being released tomorrow. I understand it looks great.
-
Checked it all out and went to go live, but as it turns out I'd missed an entire page of stuff to fill out and they had to verify e-mail address, but finally it's all done and we are LIVE!

-
And not ONE HUMAN BEAN is here for our launch an hour later??? Is that RIGHT? Too bad, as at least one really desirable perk is about to sell out of its six copies. Oh, well. And boy is Indiegogo slow to update the totals.
-
One human bean! :)
And yes, it is working a little slow.

Welcome to my world.
-
BK, I'm not seeing an introductory video or anything -- just text -- in case that's something going haywire on their end instead of mine.
-
DR GINNY thanks for the lovely card and sentiment!
Now I shall INDIEGO.
-
I missed the one item I was ready to buy. I wanted the Harvey Schmidt fiddle. Went to a business meeting, returned a hour later and it was gone.
-
So I bought something else.
-
I have contributed and chosen my PERK! Hurray!
-
The site is only updating certain things. Number of backers is stuck at 5 (even though they all seem to be listed), the total dollar amount is stuck at $450, and I also just realized I'm not seeing the introductory video - if indeed it's supposed to be there. Wonder what else I'm not seeing.
UPDATE: Video is working!
STILL LATER: All seems well now.
-

Ummmm.....very sorry about that, DR John G.! :)
-
Kristi just took the fifth of six.
Not to be confused with the firth of forth.

Today is my son's birthday.
Happy Birthday, David!

Well, it's 12:20 PM on the left coast and BK's notes haven't been updated...yet. ::)

Nice! My parents are at 53 and counting. Hope you have a great time, Jrand!
-
It was a very nice visit with several of my siblings....minus two.
-
HUMAN BEAN is a chain of drive through coffee places in Oregon. Those who drink coffee, including Keith, said it is very good.

Perk has been purchased!! :D
-
Clearly something was awry with Indiegogo this morning. Can you all check and make sure you're seeing what you should? Totals have been updated and in three hours we're at 13%. I can see the video. We've got to get at least to 20% so let's DO this.
-
John Griffin, I'll put up another Harvey thing in a little while - frankly it's even better.
-
New Schmidt perk is up. John, go get it.
-

I just checked and it's at $1,825 USD raised by 16 backers, and 15% of $12,500 flexible goal.
-
Post adjusted. ::)
;)
-
Gee, John may miss the other Schmidt note and doodle.
-
Hello!
-
Um, where IS everyone? Seriously.
-
Page three? Really? Is this a holiday I don't know about?
-
Had are a really fun first Kritzerland rehearsal.
-
Some nice soul just took the Byrd painting so we're now at 22% and closing in on 3K. So far a good first day - if we can somehow get close to thirty percent that would be a very good sign that we'll go all the way.
-
DR GINNY thanks for the lovely card and sentiment!
....
You're welcome, DR JRand - that got there fast!
-
I was at my new book discussion group gathering. This was only our second meeting. I am making new friends in the complex which is nice.
-
DR Jennifer next month we are discussing THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10.

I was hoping to snag one of those six but my days are not mine own
-
My inlaws made 65 in August my parents made 60 before my dad passed
-
Page three? STILL?
-
Vibes for my MIL please. We just spent more than an hour speaking withVixdads sis. Mum is onthe hospital again
-
11 work day today and that's with everyone back from vacation
-

-
PAGE FOUR DANCE!!
-
Seems everyone who took off for Rosh Hashanah decided to play catchup today
-
I starting to think my phone would need to be surgically removed from my ear
-
Keep checking them perks - I've already added some new stuff :)
-
I spent most of the day being on a call with 2 more on hold while trying to answer emails
-

Better mosey on over then

Had an interesting e-mail today - could result in a Kritzerland project that, for me, would be an amazing thing for very personal reasons. The issue we need to figure out is why the company that originally issued this on CD has been selling it over the last thirty YEARS - because it appears they have not had the right to do that. However, that company is so inept and their completely inept mastering idiot who I'm sure transferred the tape with no work and at a VERY low volume level - I can make it sound amazing and if we can come to terms on something that makes sense to us for 500 units, I may just do it because this deserves to sound amazing.
-
Page four? Really?
-
I wish I could afford the chorus line perk. I am sure it will find a good home
-

Vibes for the Vixmom's MIL.
-
Well, the campaign said the new Schmidt doodle was available, but it wouldn't accept my money for it. Bummer.
-
Vixdad is now interspersing his Russian car crash videos with the hydraulic press channel
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Some Finish guy crushing things with his hydralic press
-
Vibes for Vixmom's MIL. And vibes for Vixmom's continued stamina.
-
Oddly mersimizing
-
I started over and it took it that time.
-
I had a very busy day. My Mondays are always busy, but I overslept this morning, so I was a bit rushed. I wasn't able to view the Levi! page until an hour or so ago. Very nice perks.
-
You can write to his po box and suggest items for him to crush
-
I'm off to watch a video.
TTFN.
-
What a madcap day today at work. Didn't get done all I needed too before leaving for vacation, but I managed to get an amazing amount of stuff done. I rather surprised myself. And I was exhausted by the time I left.
-
Watching Debra Winger and Tracy Letts in The Lovers. She is exceptional, as always. He's really good, and that shouldn't surprise me. His performance in Indignation last year was perfectly irritating and memorable.
The movie is both funny and sad.
-
That's two Schmidt's gone - gonna look to see what else I might have laying around - he's sent me so much stuff. But the best doodle hangs in my house and is classic. That one stays here. And once again Indiegogo is stalled and not updating properly. With John's perk we should be over three grand and close to 25% funded. I hate whatever problem they're having and of course they didn't respond to any e-mails.
-
I started over and it took it that time.
That's good!
-
I read earlier today that Ben Affleck is signed to direct a remake of Witness for the Prosecution. Why? Why do we need this?
-
Vixmom, PM me and tell me what you'd be comfy with for the Chorus Line script.
-
Vibes for my MIL please. We just spent more than an hour speaking withVixdads sis. Mum is onthe hospital again
Vibes for your dear MIL
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work and go home.
Just had to share. :) Be back later.
-
Just added a new perk: A copy of the Levi script and score signed by Richard Sherman and Larry Cohen - only one set available and it's very reasonable.
-
Let's move on.
-
Five!
-
Page five? Really?
-
Disney cel just sold - that puts us just under 3500 - but of course Indiegogo hasn't updated.
-
Mandy Hoffman's musical score for The Lovers is exceptional.
-
Just saw that, and I don't remember the site being so poor at updating before.
-

Good vibes it happens!

Oh yes indeed. Whatever it is! :)
-
Still not updated - I just sent them a truly strong and snippy e-mail. Momentum is everything, and when their site is slow to update it kills our momentum. It's clear now we'll get close to the thirty percent in one day.
-
I need to go soak for a while.
-
Finally updated and we're at 29% and we're still fifty minutes from our first twelve hours - 30% was my dream goal for the first two days, and as soon as anyone does any perk we will have gotten there in the first twenty-four hours. Now, can we get higher? Script and score perk just sold. I might be able to list one more of those, and tomorrow I will put up at least five new perks :)
-
Was amazed to go to the Indiegogo home page, clicked on the word "Explore" (rather than choosing a specific category) and we're trending on that general page, too. Not to 30% yet, but very close.

Listening to music. Ate a chicken Caesar for lunch, around eleven-thirty, after some banking.
-
So, tonight I went to Gelson's and got about four little things for my evening snack - all good. Two days sans bread and sugar.
