Re: encores!

So it finally showed up in the mail.

Anyway, my take....

This isn't ones of those CD's where I immediately scream "Wow, I have to make sure everyone hears this." In other words, it's not spectacular.

It is, however, very, very comfortable. Listening to it gave me the feeling of having some ...

Austin doesn't need any more cool places to hang out. They have their own.

Dallas is way too uptight for a M'ville. And they have no tourist section.

Houston might be ...

Re: Best way to get tickets to LV MGM Show??

I've always hit ticketmaster right at the tick of 10a, and never had a problem in Vegas.

If you are a member of a PHC, your President can ask the LVPHC if they plan to have any extra tix, and, if so, they can request them for you.

See, you heard it here first. You will only die jumping off the stratosphere if you intend to kill yourself. Otherwise, it's safe.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Visitors to the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas no longer need an elevator to get down from Sin City's highest building.

A new ride is giving daredevils a cable, a platform and a chance to jump to a blue and black target 829 feet below.
I am so there.

Re: We are boycotting Jimmy Buffett...

If you can't get down to the warmer climates, and are cruising around the I-95/I-395 area in Connecticut, stop in at Foxwoods, and find a little place called The Scorpion Bar. They have some limited, but pretty good south of the border type cuisine (for a place that's way north of the border), a ...

Re: This is getting a bit old

I believe that there is a difference. If I misquoted a Buffett fact in a line, it probably would make a material difference in the meaning of what I was saying. For example, if I said, "Jimmy's birthday is February 7th, the same as mine," the misstatement would be material, as it would change the ...

Re: This is getting a bit old

Lately it seems that there's always an angle that you have to be watching out for, and it's tiresome to constantly be reminded that I've viewed not as a valuable part of the fanbase (who has spent a god awful amount of cash), but as an ATM machine. A valuable part of the fan base!? I'd be tired too ...

Yeah, I noticed that too...the ol' voice is a little raspy in spots!! But sometimes, the imperfections are what make things special (if that makes any sense)!! The realism of the raspy voice, a couple semi-flat notes hit here and there, brings it home.

And Oceanstate...I sure hope you get yours ...
