  2. In anticipation of my next trip:
  3. I find that forums.viachicago.org is the best way to get directly to the board.
  4. I'm afraid that rock stars probably look at more stupid stuff on the internet than most of us would like to think. That would have been my question too, how did you get set up to play with Wilco? What a cool thing for you guys!
  5. This was posted on the VC tracker this morning: http://bt.viachicago.org/details.php?id=513 Although there is currently no seeder. There's no user limit there, but you do need to sign up with a separate log-in than the one you use here (it's a different board, but most people just use the same name over there that they have here).
  6. Ouch! Sorry to hear it, Kyle. I fear you, man. You know you could destroy me anytime you felt like it!
  7. If I don't get my stats back I'm going into an A-man style snit.
  8. The tracker is down, and will remain down until solace posts to let us know that it's back up. The whole deal (this forum site, the tracker, etc.) was down last weekend, and solace worked hard to get the forums back up and running. Now he's using the tracker being down as an opportunity to make some changes/improvements to the system. He'll let us know when he's ready to open it back up again.
  9. Thanks for all the hard work, Kyle!
  10. Looks good to me! Thanks, that's another one for the list.
  11. It's on the radar a little more now with all the talk of the avian flu, but yeah, strange how that nearly disappeared from our history. Rising Tide looks great, too. I heard the author being interviewed on NPR just after Hurricane Katrina. He discussed how the 1927 flood changed the demographics of the entire country by displacing so many southern blacks, and how Herbert Hoover's response to the flood (in his capacity as Secretary of Commerce, he oversaw much of what FEMA would do today) brought him into the national spotlight and was a large factor contributing to his election as presiden
  12. I'm going to start this one today: I've been obsessed with the flu since way before this latest avian flu scare, so I'm long overdue to read this one. And if it's even half as good as I've been led to believe it is, I'll likely follow up with another of his books: I could only find a decent cover shot from the audiobook. But I'll be doing the reading myself on this one.
  13. Hee! Donna, it's in My Controls now, as "Change Your Display Name". And for anyone who's confused by all the name-changing, if you click on the user profile, there's an option to see Display Name History.
  14. And the subject matter doesn't sound nearly as intriguing to me, so I may just give it a miss, then. I once heard Janeane Garafolo say about George Clooney, "I'm not made of wood"; and I know a whole lot of women who feel that way about Michael McDonald. More environmentally friendly than cremation, you get to feed a tree that your family and friends can go to visit, rather than being in a box buried under a granite slab in the middle of a field of other granite slabs... seems like a perfect solution to me.
  15. Just hearing the short discussion of garbage and recycling the other night really disturbed me, so I don't know if I need to read either of the garbage books just yet! Apparently Heather Rogers made a documentary on the subject first, then was approached by a publisher to write up her documentary research for publication. I thought that was an interesting side note to her story. I'm nearly done with Stiff, and yes, I'm loving it, too. Her writing style and sense of humor keep reminding me of Brianne! I'm a big advocate of organ donation, and I've been saying for years that I want whateve
  16. I was at a reading last night, and when they introduced the first author, I thought oh, that's the book that la* posted... but it wasn't, turns out it was this one instead: There were four people reading, I was there to see this woman: She was adopted at birth by a Jehovah's Witness family, and was abused by her mother and step-father. She makes clear in the book that the abuse she suffered was not necessarily condoned by the larger community of Jehovah's Witnesses, but that they did consider what went on inside the family to not be the business of the community. Her adoptive
  17. Clicking on the torrent sub-forums redirects you to another site: http://bt.viachicago.org/ That site requires a separate log-in, so just register there with the same log-in name you use here, and you should be all set.
  18. Oh, very cool. Yes, this needs its own thread!
  19. Jesse, as soon as I typed that, I had to do the math in my head, and yep, it's at least a year and a half since I've seen you. And all this time when I pictured you cuddling Laurel, you were clean-cut!
  20. Beard? It's been so long since I've seen Jesse in person, I was thinking, "when did he grow all that hair?" I never even saw the beard, and now it's gone already!
  21. Yes, please. I know some of you, and can almost make out the names on the name tags for a few others, but I'd love to know who everyone else is. Looks like you all had an amazing time. I love hearing all the stories!
  22. I now officially hate your camera.
  23. No points for me, just the joy of NOT being in that picture is reward enough.
