Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    Pete asked me to post this....
    
    BTW, he's part of the stage crew now for Pink Floyd shows, and also
    Sullivan Stadium and Great Woods concerts!
    
    -----------------------------------------
    
		I'm looking to do a DEC metal noters bash sometime in late July
	(after my wedding). I'd like at least two other DEC metal noters bands
	to do it with us. The place is up for grabs but I have free reign at
	Rythyms in Clinton (i.e. FREE and we'd all make $$$$) or we can rent
	a place. I might be able to persaude American Lobster in Marlboro also.

		If anyone is interested send e-mail to prc@world.std.com
	or give me a call for Christ's sake! Work is 508-898-0962, and home
	is 508-481-0451. Please don't try today because I'm working the Pink
	Floyd show today and Friday night. (my new p-t job! Pro-roadie!)

		-The Coooookster.

    Wedding?

    
    	Yeah, it's a ceremony resulting in the participants becoming
    	husband and wife.
    
    	Traditionally, there is the ceremony, a reception [including
    	dinner and then cake], etc.
    
    	Check out a dictionary for more info.

      aww C'mon. I'm not *totally* RO. I've input here before (just can't
    remember where). 
    
      Tuesday's a go. I'll be checking in to see where and when )time).

    Count me in!   Anybody who likes COASTERS and TUNES is somebody I'd
    like to talk with! :)
    
    Looking forward to meeting you, John.

    Wow -- no activity in this note in over 13 months ... must be time 
    for SOMEONE to throw another party, eh??

    
    RE: -1
    
    How nice of you to volunteer, Buck! :^)
    
    We are breathlessly awaiting the theme! 
    
    /jen

Party at Buck's   COool!

Will SueJ be wrestling Rob again?

    
    Put em Up... Put em Up...

    Ok by me...
    
    The date will be Saturday, June 8th.  The theme will be "Come as your
    favorite dead republican".  8^)

    I'm there dude.
    -ss

I don't think you were invited..  :-)

If you were a Mystic Powers groupie you'd be in...

    That's all right. I'm a party waiting to happen.
    -ss

    Cool, I'm in then.  8)

    
    	From 99.end:
    
    	Hmmm, now that you mention it, it HAS been awhile.  Is anyone
    	up for a H_M lunch in Marlboro/Hudson this/next week?  Maybe at
    	a Chinese restaurant or something?  The Royal Mandarin [Route
    	20E] is an OK place for a gathering, as is The Yangtze River in
    	Littleton [behind LKG].
    
    	Reply to this note with yes/no, location, and date/time prefer-
    	red and I can tally the results.
    

    
    	Well I'd vote for the Yangtze.  Only because it's a midpoint
    	for the MA and NH noters.  For those of us up here, it would
    	take 45 minutes just to get to Marlboro........
    
    	

    
    
    	As for the rest of the request......  This week is tough, next
    	week would be better..... M/W/F    noonish.
    

    
    Hey Karen/Ian.....are we still hitting the Carribean in a couple f
    years time?

    Shut yer gob, yer heathen!  Fortunately, none of these yanks have a
    clue what Torremolinos is like.
    
    Want me to bring you back a sombrero and a straw donkey or do you just
    was a bag of fish and chips?
    
    Here we go - here we go - here we go!
    
    Flip
    
    ps.	So I'll take it as a cert on the Carribean rendez-vous.
    
    

    
    	Hmmm, looks like JJ, Jen and I for lunch.
    
    	What a cozy get-together that will be.  I wonder if they'll
    	be so kind as to make me a sandwich.  8^)
    

    
    So where are the directions for this lunch????????
    
    
    
    							Dawg~~~~~

    
    	I only got 3 responses, so I wasn't going to post directions
    	yet.  But I'll take a stab at it:
    
    
    	Yangtze River, Littleton MA:
    
    	495N to exit 31 [Groton, Littleton Commons], take a left at
    	the end of the exit ramp.  Drive past LKG [on the left] and
    	take a left at the light.  Yangtze River is up the road a
    	bit on the left.
    
    
	I don't have directions from the north, so maybe someone
    	can post the correct turns to get there?
    

    
    remember Flip,
                  while in the sun drenched town of Torremolinos,wear the
    appropraite(sp)clothes ie Doc Martins,England "away" strip,Bermuda
    shorts and assorted tattoos!8)
    
    
    ian

	Directions from the North are the same except take a right at the end 
	of exit 31 ramp...

	/CQ

	Gee, since Jen is only 1 flight of stairs away from
	me, I guess the place is right down the road also.!

	I'll just ride in with her.. ;')

	Whit-

    
    **I'll just ride in with her.. ;')
    
    You're either very brave or very foolhearty....but I think I can get us
    down the street in one piece!
    
    /j

    boo hoo WAH!  I'm eating my heart out over here.

    Whit,
    
    Beware if she starts heading towards Iowa...

Re:-1

	
	I take it if she does, I should get ready to put my
hands up over my head a yell at the top of my lungs? ;')

	I'll have to practice all the way over to the 
restaurant...

Whit-

    
    
    	re .39
    
    
    	bwahahahahahahaaaa!
    
    	what a mental picture...........  =)
    

    
    RE: .39
    
    Now that you mention it Whit, numerous people have behaved like that
    while a passenger with me....
    
    I always just assumed they were practicing their roller coaster 
    riding technique!

How about when Rob gave Rat a ride from the airport...  Now that must have been
a ride...  Funny how no one warned her about Rob...

Tim

    
    Oh...JJ...If we do make it to lunch, be sure to remind me to give you
    your black NZ sand!

    	So what's that, 4 people now?
    
    	Anyone else?
    

I may be able to make it.  Just figure out when to have it and I'll figure out
if I can go later.  I'll let someone know if I'm going to show.

You've been warned...

Tim

    
    	Well, you see, if you post available days/times we can plan
    	this thing so that everybody can make it on the same day.
    
    	8^)
    

A critical co-worker on our project will be at DAC in Las Vegas next week.  I
probably won't know if I can make it until a few hours before.  


Tim

    ..and i might show depending upon what day the pool/concrete guys get their
    butts out of the backyard at the house...but like tim...it'll be a last
    minute thing so  don't plan around me........../k

    
    I knwo I won't be there....work is bollox!@

    RE: -1
    
    Stop your whining there, Ian.  If we go on Monday...you won't
    even be working!  :^)   Well not at work anyway!  Have you got the
    house Spring-Cleaning all done yet?  And how about that yard? And did
    you give Ziggy a bath?  And did you wash the cars?
    
    /jen

    
    
    jen...you're walking a thin line there,woman! ;^)
    
    
    						ian

    Yeah, isn't that Karen's job?

    Dough!

    
    so are we lunching or not oh wise moderator?
    
    /jen

    
    	I'd like to, yes ... looks like we have 4 confirmed and 3 maybe
    	and probably a couple that will show up without even letting us
    	know and maybe even Tama will get back to me soon.
    
    	Right now it looks like we all agree on Monday, so I'm OK with
    	that.  But what's the chance of moving this up to 11:30 or at
    	least close to it?  I have a 1:00 meeting here at MRO that I
    	have to come back for, and 12-12:30 is a very short lunch.
    
    	But if that doesn't work too well maybe we can postpone it for
    	a week and give people more time to clear their calendars.
    

    
    
    	Postponing is probably a wise idea.  I forgot, and brought
    	in my lunch today and /jen informed me that she thinks she
    	may have bronchitis.  Since Whitpose was hitching a ride 
    	with her, I'm assuming he won't be making it either.......
    
    	Any objections?
    

    
    	RE: JJ
    
    >I forgot, and brought in my lunch today
    
    
    	You're a natural blonde, I assume?
    
    	8^)
    

    
    	Alright, might as well postpone it to next week when more people
    	can make it ... and give all of us plenty of time to clear our
    	calendars.  [Isn't Jen going to be out next week?]
    
    	Let's try this again:
    
    	Lunch at The Yangtze River in Littleton.
    
    	From the north:  495S to exit 31, right at end of ramp, left
    	after LKG, restaurant is on the left.
    
    	From the south:  495N to exit 31, left at end of ramp, left
    	after LKG, restaurant is on the left.
    
    	Please reply here with date/time [11:30 or 12:00 would be a
    	good time, I'd figure] preference and I will tally the results
    	and pick a day that all/most of us can make it on.

    
    	Shawn L.:
    
    
    	Day/date: no preference
    
    	Time: 11:30-12:00
    
    	Place: Yangtze River, Littleton
    

    Day/Date: No preference
    Time:     12:00

    lets do it on a weekend!

    
    	I kinda liked the sound of that before I read the title.
    
    	8^)
    

    
    Well just back from Dr...and the verdict is in ... bronchitus it is!
    Nothing a little rest, a lot of fluid and these great new drugs won't
    cure!
    
    And GTI is correct, I'm leaving Thursday after work and will be out all
    next week on a wild roadtrip across America's Heartland!   So....lunch
    without me if it works out....I'm sure Whit can get another ride...heck
    with that hair he can just throw on a dress and hitchhike! :^)
    
    Otherwise I'll be back into the office Monday, June 17th and any day
    that week looks ok for lunch for me as of now.
    
    /jen
    

    >>lets do it on a weekend!
    
    
    Ok, how about this Saturday?

    
    
    	Sorry, I already have plans.
    

>    Ok, how about this Saturday?
    
    Saturday just became bad for me.

    If anyone gets the oppotunity, drink a few at Coop's. He really knows
    how to entertain guests.  I can't believe how &#$^ed up I got...and I
    didn't even puke on his rug.  My chiropractor advised me to jump in
    that hottub at least 3 times a week so I'll be right over! :)_
    -ss

Glad you didn't barf on the rug man... or in the hot tub
for that matter...  How'd ya feel Sunday?

    >Saturday just became bad for me.
    
    
    Thank Christ for small wonders...

    re .70
    
    No hangover at all.  As long as I drink plenty of fluids (non-alcohol),
    maybe eat something, and pop a couple of Advil I'm good to go.  Yes,
    1800 and beer are great. Can't wait to do it again.
    ps
    
    
I hope I was clear on that drive config.  It looked like it was the
    same as that I/O connector.
    -ss

    That PBJ saved my a$$....
    
    :-)
    
    Hey - we have more of that 1800 ya know...
    

    PBJ?

    
    	Peanut butter and jelly.
    

    (Thanks Shawn...)
    
    Yeah!  All that good stuff!
    

    mmmmmmm, peanut butter & jelly

    
    	Well, is anybody else planning on coming to lunch next week?
    	There have only been about 3 replies.
    
    	It'd be nice to have some sort of an idea so that we can make
    	reservations if need be.
    

    I'll go... any time...any place..any day punk !  ;)
    
    Shane, who's hungry right now

    Im not if its on a weekday,

    
    
    
    Good..
    
    

    I, myself, would actually prefer a get-together ( like a BBQ or
    something ) where we could all have a few " drinks ", eat, laugh,
    & listen to some good music. :-)
    
    Chinese food sounds cool, but a BBQ sounds better. :-)
    
     That's just MY thought on the subject. :-)
           
                           *** Kit ***

    
    
    	Take it from one who's been there.....
    
    	It would be near to impossible......
    
    	There have been very few times over the past couple years when
    	most of HM got together.....
    
    

    That's too bad. :-(  Oh well...it was just a thought....
    
    

    
    	Not a bad thought, Kit, but like JJ said there's a very good
    	chance that it wouldn't happen unless planned months in ad-
    	vance.
    
    	We could possibly have 10+ people at this get-together, which
    	isn't too bad considering.
    
    	Lunch is planned for sometime between Wed-Fri this week, so
    	if you haven't replied then please do.  There are possibly 3
    	"special guests" planning on attending as well.  And JJ, if
    	you know who any of them are then please keep it to yourself.
    	8^)
    

    I can't get together Friday for lunch.  Wed or Thursday sounds good.
    
    Shane, who has a Dr appointment ;(

    
    
    	ditto.  Wednesday would probably be best for me.
    

    I won't be able to make it this week...I've already made plans. :-(
    
    *** Kit ***

    Kit, you're such a snob.

Yeah, see how you are?!?

Least Pril and I have a GOOD excuse....

:-)

    Better than mine anyway.

Dough!  

I meant that we live far, far away... (Pril in Dallas, me 
in Colo.Spgs.)...But I digress - Kanata is also a cruise
to Boston...

:-)

        7 hours. More than twice as long as the crew on the S.S. Minnow.

    SKIPPPPPERRRRRRR!

    Hey, now THAT'S a thought...;-)
    
    

    
    	Well, lunch is tomorrow ... 11:30/11:45 - 1:00 or whenever [but
    	Lynne and I have to leave by about 12:45 to be back here by 1].
    
    	I'd suggest meeting at the bar.
    
    
    	Judy Morrissey [as long as she doesn't bring her lunch tomorrow]
    	Shane Hooker
    	Steve Grenier
    	Lynne Sigel
    	Shawn Labounty
    
    	and a few unannounced "guests".
    
    	[I think that's everybody.]

    
    
    	Ok, I've written it in my calendar........
    

    
    
    	party super snarf!
    

    okey dokey...but I have to be back around 1p too...so can we just go
    ahead and say meet at the bar at 11:30 am ?  sound cool ?  
    
    Shane, who will remember not to pack lunches for tomorrow ;)

    
    	Wayne Cluett can't make it tomorrow, but he says "Hi".
    

    
    	Jim Bourque [Tama] can't make it either, but he says "Hi".
    

    
    	Reservations for 11 or 12 have just been made in the name of
    	Shawn/Digital for 11:30 tomorrow morning.
    

    Eddie VanHalen can't make it to lunch today but he also says hi..

    
    	I was hoping Escobar would make it so that he could bring the
    	Extreme guys with him.
    

    
    Man!! You beat me to it!!
    
    I was gonna say that Nuno couldn't come, cuz hewas having a brunch with
    Chris....  :-)
    

    So, how was lunch?

    
    	Good.  How about yours?
    

    
    	Had Brian Markey shown up at the HM luncheon last week, he would
    	have brought with him, as a special guest, Charlie Farren.
    
    	Charlie works here at MRO, but I still haven't introduced myself
    	to him.
    

    I can't believe the sucky turnout.  I thought we were tighter than 
    that, people!  

    We need some Colorado party.  Oh, that reminds me, just so happens I'll
    be hosting a little shin dig at my (not so)new place. Try to make it on
    Saturday, July 6 afternoon/evening/??? We are just getting moved in but
    should be ready to throw a party by then.  My new place is at 517 W
    Kiowa (don't send me a bomb, please). I can give further directions
    upon request, but all my HM buds are welcome.
    -ss

    We nead a KAO party.

    Well, the 6th in CO is definitely do-able, but unfortunately I'll be
    having a mini-private divorce celebration party for myself. 

    Sounds bitter-sweet

    
    Come on up 'Pril!
    

    Why the heck not?

    I would, but I've already committed the 6th...DANG IT!  8(

    We could arrange a different date.  :-)  West Pac is offering $131
    round trip Dallas-CO Springs.

    I heard they lease planes from valuejet.
    

    CJ, that's definitely something to think about!  Never heard of West
    Pac though!!  Hmmmm...

    They're a relatively small airline that's been operating for more than
    a year now based out of ColoSprgs.  They specialize in discount rates,
    and it has been the cheapest flight in/out of Colorado.
    -ss

    Western Pacific Airlines.  $96 roundtrip to San Jose.  $160 to Seattle.
    I guess it's time to see more of the west coast.  ;-)  We'll throw a
    bash if you come pril.  ;-)
    
    CJ

    We did the mystery flight last year. Here's the deal: You pay $60,
    round trip, and they fly you to any of their destinations. The catch is
    they don't tell you where you're flying until you check your luggage
    in.  We got picked to go to San Fran, and we had a excellent time.The
    downside?  I heard there were some mad people who got stuck going to
    Wichita, KS (I've been to Wichita-I can sympathize).
    -ss(who was given TWO bags of peanuts by a lovely attendant)

    Do they still do this Steve?

    They say they're going to. Probably in the fall.
    -ss

I am a lineman for the county...

    Cool, I'll start looking at my July & August calendar!!!  

    So, what about that party?!?!?

    Nobody in KAO likes to party.

    
    Yeah, so what about that party, Mr. Buckley.  Didn't you volunteer back
    in 100.11? :^)
    
    Poor CJ has got enough trouble planning the H_M reunion....figure she
    might have the commitments from folks around the year 2000! :*}
    

    Cj should make it easy on herself...
    
    - Labor Day Weekend, 1997
    - Lakeside Park; Denver, CO
    - It's "Dime Day" ... all rides are .10
    
    I'll call Rhoda to arrange.

    Really ??!  I hadn't heard any news reports of hurricanes nearby.
    
    ;)

    You guys have so much fun back east.

    
    RE: -1   You obviously have never been to one of MY parties!!  :^)

    RE: Steve
    
    No they don't.  You can count the cooler parties on your fingers over
    the past 8 years or so...
      
    :-)

Would that be a BIG BLUE COOLER???

Tim

    
    aHHHHHHHH Memories...

    
    
    	SueJ, I don't think you're ever going to live down
    	the big blue cooler thing.........  =)
    

    I know,,,,  I know,,,, 8|

    Please 'splain the big blue cooler thaing!

Someone was supposed to meet SueJ at the beach and she said something like look
for the big blue cooler.  When the person went there looking for her:

1) there was 10,000 blue coolers
2) SueJ didn't bring hers (?? guessing here)

    
    I thought it was you that was suppose to show at the beach,.,,,? 8}
    
    Yea- there were a few too many BLUE coolers ! So I couldnt be found..
    ;)

    agagaga!!  Too funny.
    
    

    
    	That was moi, I believe.  (at least one of the times the
    	'look for the big blue cooler' hint was used.  =)   )
    
    	At Hampton Beach.
    
    	JJ
    

    re: Judy
    
    Gee, I was going to say it was me.  I know with great certainty that
    I tried to find Suej via that method once and failed.
    
    It was an extremely bad idea that we will probably never let Suej
    live down.  ;-)

    I rented these two cooool motel rooms right on the beach at Hampton.
    

    I think we were plannning for ALL of HM to go to Hampton and I
    said"Ill be there, Look for the BIG BLUE COOLER!" by the statue... ;)

    DYLIW clueless people send party announcements only one week prior
    to a party they're throwing -- which falls right in the middle of 
    a MAJOR U.S. holiday weekend (Labor Day)!!!

Maybe they figured if they waited long enough you wouldn't be able to make it...
:-)

We have our traditional trip to RI for the last beach day (well swim attempt
anyway) on Labor day

    
    Tim,
    
    Enjoy RI!  If you need anything while down there you can always call my
    mum.  :)

    So Buck are you going ?

    >>So Buck are you going ?
    
    
    Nope.  My armour and sword are all in the shoppe getting polished,
    so I have nothing to wear!!  8^)

    	Geez, nothing like 7 hours' notice to prepare for a get-together.
    
    	Why didn't he wait until 5:00 to send it out?
    
    	8^)
    

    
    RE: -1
    
    So tell us, GTI, what stellar plans do you have in place that will
    prevent you from attending?  C'mon....we wanna hear 'em :^)
    
    /j

    
    	"A Very Brady Sequel" and "Escape from LA" are playing at The
    	Mendon Drive-In this w'end.
    
    	Maybe I'll go tomorrow night instead, though.
    

    
    The Mendon Drive In, thats vintage!

    
    	No, "vintage" is The Quaker Drive-In that used to be in Uxbridge,
    	2-3 miles from my house.
    

    What's a drive-in?

It's like a drive through except you're in...

The Burlington (Vt) drivein was about 1 mile from my house.  My friends and I
used to get a "complimentary" case of beer from the local restaurant we worked
at.  Then we'd take the beer out, put a garbage bag in the case fill with ice
and make a cooler.

Then we'd go and watch movies on Saturday night.  I remember one double bill

Tommy & The Stepford Wives

Or Bobby Joe and the Outlaw featuring Marjoe Gortner and Linda Carter.  That
movie showed all of Linda's, ah, um, acting capablities... oo errr.

One time they were showing a typical T&A slash film (Watch Joe Bob Brigg's
DriveIn Theater sometime) and they showed one reel out of order.  We were kind
of toasted but knew something was up because someone got killed then later they
weren't dead anymore...

Ah, the days.  I never went to the Drive in with a girl.  I guess I missed out
on that aspect of the fun.

Tim

    I used to beg my uncle to take me to the drive-in with him back when I
    was a little girl.  I only know of one in the Dallas area.

    
    	I never go to a drive-in with a girl, either.  I go to actually
    	see the movies.
    

No way!!  You?

Girls thought I was gross in High School and to tell you the truth, they were
mostly right...

Anyway I'm headin' out (Hey the sun's still out!)...  I think I'll leave my new
Iron Maiden cd on the top for the guard who inspects briefcases...

    hey Tim,
    
          why did you feel the need to repeat yourself?
    
    
    
    						ian

    
    	Yeah, insulting me once is generally sufficient.
    
    	8^)
    

DooH!

    
    
    WHOA! Tommy and Stepford Wives... Good double bill!

    so buck??..how did you get a mail message that was sent to me placed in 
    here.....curious /k

    >>so buck??..how did you get a mail message that was sent to me placed in 
    >>here.....curious /k
    
    It was real easy -- I took the attachment file that Rob sent me,
    that was clearly noted "Post this in H_M", and complied with his 
    wishes/said directions.
    
    Now WHY your mail message was sent to me by Rob is a completely
    different matter altogether, one I would suggest you raise with
    the author.

    Rumour has it that there will soon be yet-another noter party!!!

    please expand...I need cheering up!

    **please expand...I need cheering up!
    
    Ian, why would Buck's gaining weight cheer you up?  :^)
    
    /jen

    
    
    lack o sleep,trying to buy a new guitar but scared off by the prices
    and up and coming surgery!
    
    
    					ian

    
    Bugger off, you witch~!

    
    Now you'd think after working at Spooky World for YEARS, you'd know
    that Ian would be a 'warlock' not a 'witch'!  <|:^}
    
    So, tell us Buck, when are you throwing the party to celebrate your new
    job?  the arrival of Spring?  the demothballing of your Valkryie? the
    opening of local amusement parks? 
    
    /jen

    
    the demothballing of his what??? 8)

    "Valykrie - from Norse Mythology - Any of the god Odin's handmaids who
    hover over battlefields, choosing the heroes to be slain and then
    conducting their souls to Valhalla (the great hall of immortality)."
    
    Of course, in Buck's case this refers to his work of art (i.e. Honda
    motorcycle covered in chrome!)
