Hey Ron,
We should add Michael Collins to the list who is mentioned on this page. I don't know his email address...lets see if we can find out someone who can contact him.

Lets say - just for the sake of conversation - that we all could come. WHEN? When would we be arriving somewhere?

8PM the 26th and I am jealous that you can be there and I cannot. It's one of the few places I can watch Russ dance in the nude without being arrested. Me, I mean

8 PM the 26th of Sept at Alwun? Which city in Texas do you live? What is the closest airport? Does Southwest fly from that airport to Phoenix?
From: freespeak@gmail.com
To: Russell Shaw
I live about 90 miles N of DFW airport and I know what you are thinking but really Alwum is a much nicer place for everyone to gather - plus this is a small town and also, we just couldn't afford the cost of fritos and pickles for that many people.
THANK YOU but this might be an ideal time to organize a real bash at maybe the solstice? - the anniversary of Bill's wreck and near Carole's birthday - no? Like in 1996? Assuming of course we don't get involved in a war on terrorism or something.
I had the impression that's what this was going to be - a small organizational thingy but it seems to have become a full-fledged revolution!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So you see, Mariah, the REAL problem would be getting me to go back to Texas!
God bless you guys. I'll be ther in spirit.
Ronco
COME ON RONCO LET US PROBLELM SOLVE THIS FOR YOU WE CAN DO IT AND WE WANT YOU HERE, WRITE RUSS AGAIN AND LETS WORK IT OUT. WE WILL COME TO THE AIRPORT WITH A THRONE TO CARRY YOU TO ALWUN HOUSE IF NEED BE-

HOW MUCH IS THE CAB TO THE AIRPORT THERE? WE CAN TAKE UP A COLLECTION! COME ON!!!
YOU AND RUSS CAN GET A MOON TAN!
THE AIRPORT HERE IS NOT FAR FROM ALWUN AND SKY HARBOR IS NOT THAT BIG A DEAL, MAN, THIS IS PHOENIX, REMEMBER??????
I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT EMAILING EVERYONE I CAN THINK OF AND WRITING THAT THING ON THE BLOG. I AM DELIRIOUS, POSSIBLY EVEN DELITERIOUS. 'MAKE THE PIE HIGHER!!!!!!!'
KEN BEALS OFFERED TO VIDEOTAPE THE EVENT AND THAT'S A COUP! YA GOTTA MEET ALL THESE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE RFP'ers AND THE REBIRTH GANG. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE! WILL THEY SHOW UP? HURRY BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION AND WE ALL HAVE TO GO LIVE IN A BUNKER!

ME: OK, CAN YOU LIFT UP MY EYELIDS SO I CAN WALK TO THE BEDROOM?
HE AND ME: TEEHEE!
AHH, LOVE.
Add Jim Botkin to your list:
mindthunder@cox.net
Added Jim! God is alive, Magic is afoot - the Mantra of Welcome. My mind (or possibly several parts of it or even several individual minds at the same time) is grinding away at your name and somehow even though there is not a loud "ring" there seems to be at least a rubbing kind of "thud">
for some reason I am seeing a beautifully restored 1952 Chevy panel truck with "Bill and Ron's Plumbing" painted on the side in artistic but EXTREMELY ordinary fresh paint, parked at Starbrite Ranch as it was, one night. Any echeos?
Ronco
After reading Mariah (wow, is she pumped)! I checked DFW to PHX and return via Southwest Airlines. The response was "What is a PHX?". So I checked American and while they do fly there they are almost completely booked up. More importantly the cost compared to Southwest is several thousand times higher - considering Southwest doesn't charge to not fly to PHX.
I am deeply honored that you guys would want to do this but I shall be modest, demure and blushingly, decline.
The flight is only 2.5 hours which is great. The trip to the airport is about two hours from here. Waiting time for me and my Muslim manservant Abduhl-with-the-bad-breath would be an additional three hours unless Abduhl fails the breathalyzer test. It happens.
So figure about 16 hours there, 16 hours back and a few 10-spots to bribe the Homeland Security and Luggage Inspection people. I did not get an estimate of the cost of the flight but it would probably make a down-payment on an 18-wheeler that Abduhl and I could use to smuggle Illegal Aliens from Mexico, if we make the trip that way.
This is all a very nice way of saying Thank You. Instead, I really recommend Royal Salute by Courvossier (Am I spelling this right, Scott?) sipped from a shot glass or if necessary, a styrofoam cup. Think of it as Communion. After a shot of that you can plan and accomplish absolutely ANYTHING.
God I wish I had some to give George Bush. THAT would get him off the 12X12X12X12 step Cocaine Addiction Program.
God Bless, Have fun!
Ronco
OK Ron, you win! Maybe... there is always magic!
To tell you the truth I am feeling quite overwhelmed by my new 'status' as the push behind this. You are far more that than I am, not to mention Jimmy starting the blog, I just fell on it due to him.
Bob, Liz and I are trying to pull this thing together out here out of thin air and hopeful, wonderful expectations and understandings of this synchronicity that it seems we are supposed to follow.
I hope that you will PLEASE email, call,
bribe, coerce, sweet talk as many of the 'inner circle' that you know (I don't) locally and inspire them to get their collective derrieres in gear and send a list of who's coming to:
Liz (lizboyle@lizboyle.com)
Bob (rwgately@yahoo.com)
or me (mariahray@msn.com)
Can you call Daniel Page and Bruce Frank and ask them to mobilize the Rebirth group? Again, I was on the peripheral of that scene, but loved it just the same.
Kim Moody called me today (I don't know him either, I tell you it's synchroncity!) He wants to find out how many are coming and what to expect in general. Poor guy, I have no clue except what I read on the blog and from a few whose personal RSVPs I've received.
It is so great of Kim to open Alwun House, I don't want him to get blindsided or anyone to be disappointed, either.
Bob offered to make lanyards and we can make nametags if we know who is coming, but he will be out of town this weekend so the buzzword is HURRY! Liz Boyle has her hands full!! She is an incredibly generous and gracious person. But I can't begin to understand how she juggles her schedule with work, home and kids and RFP. Same with Cheryl Sweet.
I don't want anyone to get swamped so I plan to do a lot of the 'before' stuff myself and lean on that 'inner circle" of great folks to be the ones who get the night going and make it a good one.
Those guys like Johhny D, Marty, Russ, Liz, Andy et al are the hosts with the mosts, not me. I am just counting on them to step up to the plate on this one. I may yak a lot and enthusiasm is my middle name (insanity too at times!) and I've been made out to be this sort of retro blogging 'social butterly' (NOT!)
Truth is I learned to vibe that when I was performing music, and no one sees the butterflies fluttering inside me. Honestly, it's only that I am lucky I'm in the enviable spot after working for 20 years straight (which is nothing compared to a lot of the rest of you!) that now I have more time.
I left that world and decided to do what I love come hell or highwater. Ahem. So I
just do my little freelance thing from home, because my husband works hard at his teaching/photography/art to support us. I get to hang out with my Weimaraners, listen to great music, write, write, write, and thank God Ray has such a great soul and sense of humor! Without him I'd be working back at Circles Records or something.
Again I think it's no coincidence that Lissa's passing and Al Casey's are so close date wise, as well as Joe Garneu's of Rebirth. I'm just trying to push forward the momentum that this energy from 'somewhere' seems to be intent on sending me in huge waves to write on the blog about this and stuff.
Trust me it's coming from up there in the Universe from folks like Lissa, WEC et al. I will meet lots of these earthbound people for the first time...or at least for the first time I can remember. I can't wait, it will be so much fun! Aaack! Pressure!!!
How about we jet pack to PHX?
YLOPE
Mariah...
I'm with ya girl, be strong. don't worry, do what you can, it'll be OK. [how do you do it, i run out of speed just tryin!]
Hey! Some times... everyone and everything is ready... someone just need to announce it and set a date... so i did, just to fill a need and a vacume really.
Remember the hippie rule... learned way back in the 60's... ummm...ahhh... well, can't remember it right now but... but i was there in the 60's... really, when the underground press syndicate was started, Rebirth started, KRUX-KCAC-KDKB started, all the Carefree Concerts... guess that makes me an old timer, even if i didnt learn much... I know, it is what it is... or what you make it... and if people want to know, what in it for them, What? or need instructions on how to have a good time, or how to make something positive happen out of an opportunity... just remind them. My french aint that good.
Personaly, I'm low key and not real big on the RSVP thing and name tags till I get there. I might have some warrents out, and i can't reveal my CIA connections... but I can help and will continue...
feel free to contact me.
Love Ya
Bruce
Hi Mariah....
Tell Kim "Hi" for me.. Ya know, I think I have an old Alwun promo that I did years ago, somewhere in my stack of old tapes.. I'll dig around and if I find it. I'' digitize it for Jimmy and Andy. Dang, I love this computer stuff!
Anyway, I know parking is a concern at Alwun since they paved over the alfalfa fields and built houses. Tell Kim not to worry, maybe a few will carpool.
The expected crowd size? I would estimate it at less than 1,000.
Ronco
Good point about the id angle! LOL!
Yes, less than a thousand, Ronco...
I'm still hoping you will manage to get here somehow or maybe we can call you, hell, we have cell phones! I'll ask Kim about the wifi thing. But only Andy and Liz understand what the hell it is.
Ron,
Funny that you got the vibe to add Jim Botkin's name to the list. I don't remember him but Ted Stratton emailed me a week or so ago and told me he should be on the list!
Jim posted a message to add him. I can't remember him directly but the name sure seems familiar! Wonder if he might have been the KCAC engineer?
Speaking with Dan by phone last night.... what do you think about addressing invitations to gatherings, reunions and so on to members of The List? That's pretty comprehensive and if they all showed up somewhere it would be a crowd!
whadayathibk?
Ron
