It looked like an evening after pill dissolved in Champaign

Sounds nice, Zule... speaking of El Wire... is it true that cheapo rigs can be found in automotive sections of hardware stores? I wanna start thinking about my halo rig :)

Box - I liked it.. but want to hear the music that it seems to be set to.. did you intentionally include the "what will it be?" line from Bar Camp, or was that a fluke?

It actually seems to tie in well with the movie I just saw.. "Why We Fight"... veeeeery good, interesting stuff... I miss a lot about the various wars and actions, not having a TV, so it was interesting/horrifying to see some of the footage of both 9/11 and Iraq that I haven't seen.

Zule, maybe I am dumb or sumthing but what is a El-wire?

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Sun May 28, 2006 11:00 pm

Xta - It was intentional because it fit. I was having breakfast With AntiM when the muse hit. And the Bar Camp thread was behind my notepad. When I was writing that third verse it was right there ready to fit in. The music is in my head and unfortunately I don't write music well. Let me think on it and maybe I can describe it. Hmmmm...

Very cool.. was that an in-person breakfast (like Zule's coffee with Blue) or an online thing?

I'm a wee bit jealous of those of you who actually get to meet and hang out live pre-BM.. but I'll survive :)

no it was a virtual breakfast right here in the bar. Although AntiM does live in the area where I grew up.

there are a lot of places to look, a while ago Ikea had some el-wire Christmas lights on sale, auto stores might on line cool light west has some deals from time to time and e-bay has them usually, I haven’t looked much lately

I'm trying to avoid online shopping for Bm.. now that I've spent $50 on tie-dyed toe-socks so I can wear my flipflops but still have some protection from playa feet :) <shake head>

Zule - What is Elwire? Different than regular xmas lights I guess.

Xta - Think George Thorogood, the Doors A touch of Bob Dylan with some punk overtones. I think.

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Sun May 28, 2006 11:18 pm

Doubt that I can afford it but I will take a look. Right now I am trying to get money together to buy a ticket, Never mind how I am gonna get there. One way or another though.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun May 28, 2006 11:21 pm

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Sun May 28, 2006 11:24 pm

Well that I could do. I am just on a tight budget right now.

(wipes down bar, lines up Bottles behind, cleans the mirror)
Heyyyyy O! well I gotta go. There's nothing left to do but rock and roll.
(Puts a towel under the bar and sets out bourbon for LeChat)
A little bit of rhythm with a strong back beat, got my blue suede shoes on my two left feet.
(stocks the fridge)
Bottle of whisky going out the door, gonna dance this dance 'til I can't no more.
(take one last look around, grabs a bottle off the bar and dives through the wormhole)

(voice echoes back through the wormhole)

HoooWee Yeah! I gotta go. There's nothing left to do but rock and roll.

(peeks out from unknown middle corner of NEB)

(looks up at huge swirly thing hanging within tent yet out of sight)

uff.

(pulls 8 or 9 corners together leaving only just barely one eyeball exposed)

(invisible colors reflect off pupil and begin to light up the tent)

wow
