Mr. Kinsley Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 someone referenced simon lebon the other day and it made me smile...all i could say was 'damn.'Where did we get that from anyway? if i was mr. kinsley, i would give that the post of the day award...You know, you can make your own. And no, it doesn't win. I am a ruthless and non-objective judge who immediately disqualifies anything Brady Bunch related. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the carlos Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think I posted that Simon Lebon's sailboat was attacked by pirates and he said "damn." After that I began to use "damn" and "Simon Lebon" interchangeably. Then others started to also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woman at the bar Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I joined in January of 2003. I know I joined on the same day as Natalie (Saint Genevieve), and maybe also Kristina? If not, within a day or two. I think I found a link to VC from Jane's old Timeline site.you've put it together quite well! I joined here probably January 10 or 11 because a friend of mine knew I had really been getting into Wilco before I left for Europe in the Spring that year and being on the road kept me out of the loop. He knew I was a Ryan Adams junky (we met via the RA board the Spring of 2002) and that I was getting into live recordings so he referred me to VC because the recordings for the 3 Vic shows had just come out. I had been back in the states for less than a month, unemployed and hungry for music news.I remember the afternoon when I actually joined (how weird is that?). The board was that yellowish color someone posted from the archives and Narziss welcomed me and told me to pull up a stool (for the woman... at the bar ) I remember reading about the Great American Music Hall show and the buzz from everyone in the days after the show (Sam saying she finally saw "California Stars" in California, HMD played twice, Alison and Jasmine telling stories about waiting in line). I remember "meeting" Mart after I read a touching post of his and we exchanged pm's. Brianne and I also exchanged long chats about Ryan Adams and this new-found addiction that was VC. It was a fun time. Little did I know that it would mean probably a good year of seriously low productivity at a job that wasn't taking me anywhere, the driving excitement behind an impulse 22 hour whirlwind trip to Chicago to see the Minus 5 and Wilco at the Abbey (I will never forget being what I now consider totally turned around in the city, following Sam's helpful CTA instructions to the blue line Addison stop and walking down the streets to turn the corner and see all of these people in person for the first time. I was nervous and excited, both for the daunting assembly of people who could be new friends, and for the fun rock show right up front at the Abbey Pub! It was the first rock tourism Kodak moment for me, and I really enjoyed having interesting talks getting to know Heidi and Uyen), or that eventually the people from the board would be my friends and roommates in the aforementioned whirlwind city itself! wow. memory lane. I know it's the kid in me that never tires of that kind of thing, but it's exciting to recall the tale again. It's been a lot of fun, and pretty special. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woman at the bar Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 But I do remember that entire road trip as a series of "we got lost!" stories from the kidsmokes and jimtweedy. Did they find your place OK?oh man, I totally forgot about that. Hilarious.Do you still play "piggyback" on your road trips? I had such a nice time in that mini-van with everyone.   explodo needs to bring back his american flag avatar. remember when we all did one to copy him?another prank I forgot. I loved reading about his string of trials and tribulations for a while there. (something about a fight on the sidewalk, and a few other problems that were actually kind of bad but the way he told it was just too funny to not chuckle).  I still have some Wilca buttons. I think one of them is still pinned to my bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
