I'll be with Chris & Edie. Practically a party on wheels! See ya.

So glad to hear that you are ok, Lauren. That could have turned out so horribly. Tip your angels!

Smart moves all.

No kids unless Edie decides to act childish.... Edie's probably gonna slap me for that one.....

I'm happy to say I'll see you there! Please introduce yourselves, any and all......I'll be right up in the very front with M. Chris and Edie.

I, too, will be looking to see whether you are on your best behavior, Oceanman.

Clay!!! See you there!!!!!

Narziss, evil admin, beloved ol' pudding pants, you tabletop-dancing fool, I am in genuine tears as I face this sad day. You have been the fairest and most skilled of administrators, a funny and fascinating member of the VC Corps, and always, that most precious of commodities, a dear and treasured friend. I hope that will never end. My head is filled beyond full with memories of your presence here. It's been a fantastic website since before I even stumbled across it (in April of 2002) and I think I knew, from my very first contacts with you and the venerable Long-Legged Pterydactyl (Hi LLP!

Shoot, Bridget, it's getting to be damned near traditional for me to be late with birthday wishes! I did think fondly of you on your day, and here is your long-baking cake, sweetie! As you see, I pre-tasted it for tonsicisity. It's fine. Have a wonderful year, mystik one!

Wow, much sympathy to everyone left waiting and wondering and worrying. That's a horrible position to be in. My strongest hopes and vibes that he turns up very soon, in happy & healthy shape.

That's a keeper....nice work, Shane!

What El Famous said.

And Pervert, leave the bobbobs alone as well.

Let's dial down the personal attacks, what say? I don't think anyone is particularly trying to be any of these obscenities being bandied about, I think we all just feel that we need more Wilco in our lives, live & in concert. Is that such a bad thing? Personally, I think it's high time we saw more Wilco in California..... But seriously, all, let's just take a big step back from the ugly sniping, which flatters no one, and let's try for a bit more tolerance and friendship. VC is a nicer place to visit when we all practice some "live & let live" attitudes. Thank you.

Dear Via Chicago membership, I've just received a message from Susan Tweedy, and with the greatest sadness, I share it with all of you: "I just wanted to let you know the sad news that Jeff's mom passed away yesterday. I thought maybe you could let people know on the board somehow. I think the well wishes of the community might make Jeff feel a little better. He's not going to cancel the tour-his mom would definitely want him to play!" I'm at a loss for words, other than to say that I grieve deeply for anyone who knew and loved her. Each of us here at Via Chicago who loves Jeff's musi

So, this is very sweet & made my day. And to think that a few of you even agreed (and the rest of you managed to hold your tongues and apple chunks!).....seriously, I'm touched. Also, I'm in agreeance about ms yvon being a lowdown cool refrigerator. But she missed a really really really great show the other night..... Evonne! Envelopes send a hello, and I've got you a nice souvenir......it's an ice cube from my "Banana Hammer" drink ("Banana Hammock", Henrik or somebody called it, heehee ....we said no, that's only after you've had a few.....) ok, no, it isn't really an ice cube f

It was the most perfect of days. Full of fairy-tale romance & perfect moments. You've never seen a couple more in love than Dunja & Rob, and it was a joy to share in their day.

My dearest Dunja and Rob, may the home you make today within each other's hearts prove to be a haven from life's storms and a constant source of joy, love and support! This is an imperfect world, but we are allowed little moments of absolute perfection, like the two of you meeting and falling in love! I wish you the happiest of wedding days, and a glorious future together! All my love, Donna (and family!)

Dunja sweetest, I am so sorry to be late in celebrating your day, but honestly, do you have any idea how much is involved in packing a big, gooey chocolate birthday cake? What a mess! I might as well show you the "before" picture......once those baggage handlers are through with it, it ain't gonna be pretty, even with all the bubble wrap I've used..... Before: Well, I guess we can scrape some of it off the bubble wrap at least. See you soon!

Go Kyle go! Ya gotta love an admin who knows how to play. Great pictures.

The usual tabletop number?

Thanks for this thread, Wendy dearest. We appreciate VC'ers like yourself, too. Thanks to everyone who contributes to keeping our little online "home" running smoothly. Keep those subscriptions coming!

The political leanings surface so early these days!

Kinsley, are you telling us you haven't got those twins signed up yet for the Bush Youth? Just think how cute they'd look in the teeny uniforms!

....and it's.... the future of rock & roll? deplorable? meh. _________(other, please fill in) Well Kyle? Wellwellwell?
