I don't know how I missed this thread when it first happened, and obviously anything I could add is too late now, but: I was in DC a year ago this week, and I saw a kid in a wheelchair getting his picture taken at the FDR memorial. It was one of those moments that if I saw it in a movie, I would bitch about how fake and forced it was, but it was insanely cool to see it really happening. San Francisco has a similar system. We were organizing a demonstration once, and you're supposed to call the SFPD to arrange for a permit or whatever, and they had a list of questions including "...an

Yay babies! Yay beautiful little girl babies! Yay Grace Marie!

The good news is, both sets are available right here!

Very cool! Sounds like he'll be a great guy to work with.

This is one of the reasons I like going away to a place where I can't be on-line. It's like detox.

Yay Tom! That's definitely brag-worthy.

I told skyflynn the other day that even since I've met him in person, I still picture him looking like Pete Townshend.

Yeah, I'm with you, Graham. I'm telling that one! Oh, and thanks to you other folks. She's certainly not above a good dirty joke, but I don't see either of those as right for her. So she's getting the muffins.

I'm going to a birthday party tonight, and they've requested no gifts, just that everyone tell the birthday girl a joke. Any suggestions (either dirty or not so dirty)?

The contest stuff looks pretty cool, too:

If I recall correctly, I pre-ordered AGIB for delivery on the release date, and didn't receive it until the day after. And some people who'd paid the lower shipping rate got it the day before. I'm a sucker for the "exclusive tee shirt" offers, though.

He's a mass hallucination! I want in on this!

Someday I'm going to meet Drew in person. Until then, I'm pretty sure he's just a figment of Mart's imagination. Happy Birthday to VC's finest figment!

There's a Lyrics & Tabs subforum a little farther down: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showforum=8 I'll think you'll find some of what you're looking for there.

Order it: http://shop.twodollarradio.com/ It's an indie publisher so they can use the money, and also... it's Ivor! He was in Embrace!

I know!!!

Um... yes? He was a very sweet guy.

It's cliche already, but still: YAY!

Old college friends popping up in the strangest places... http://www.livinontheledge.com/main.html Saw this the other day; Ivor was always interesting and had a great dry wit, so I'm definitely going to pick it up.

Don't make me come over there...

Did you miss the name(s) on that drum?

Damn, Maddie's hardcore. I'm sorry I didn't meet her, but I'm also kind of scared of her now.
