Leave the KFBF Alone!!!

Stop bothering the KFBF. It's undeserving and unfair.

The KFBF (Kevin Federline Baby Factory), aka. Brittany Spears has been thru enough.

Yes, she did enter Michael Jacksonesque status by driving her baby around on her lap, but now there's a debate about her putting her kid in a car seat.

She was photographed recently with her baby in a car seat facing forward. It appears that California law says under a certain age, the baby should face backward. But it's a grey area. One cop could cite her for it and the next one could let her go.

With every waking second being photographed, I do think it's kinda unfair that they nitpick over things like this. I mean, hell, she got the kid off her lap, right??

So baby, leave the idiot and come move in with me. Nobody knows where I am.

Sleepover

Went up to Joe's Friday night to set up my PA and monitoring. It took a few hours and everything was a little wonky, but had it up and running nicely. Extremely loud and no feedback or noise when there was no signal applied.

Joe has a device that we're gonna try to use to record tracks with. It could work out very nicely......

Hopefully we will have a name and a website up soon.

We're doing a Mother's day thing here today. Chrissy and Mike and the inlaws are here.

enjoying.

Sleepover

Went up to Joe's Friday night. We set up the pa and got front sound and monitors working. It's a light year improvement over what we had. I have a few bad channels in the board and a couple of things were wonky, but over all we got it working well. Very loud with 0 noise when there was no input.

We're going to start recording drum tracks live, i think that will be a huge help too.

All in all, it's looking very good.

Chrissy and Mike are here today, as well as the inlaws. Looks like we're having some Mother's Day activities.

We learned a few more songs. I hope to have a name and a website up soon.

We'll keep you posted.

I Saw An......

interesting t-shirt today.

It said "You say tomato, and I say fuck you."

We had a 40 minute conference call with the college radio station GM and chief engineer. Looks like we're in good shape to go up and tear it up.

It will be the weekend of June 10th. You can go to WNTE.com or .org and listen to the live stream. Go to the forums at Fitzlandia to see the DJ schedules. It's in the locked "INFO ONLY" area. I hope to get something in the local paper too.

Of course, everything I play will be 1000 times better that this rap bullshit that's on right now.

The dance recital is that weekend. I got together with Margaret yesterday to start talking about the pictures for the posters. We're gonna shoot on Sunday. I will post a finished copy of the poster on the pic site.

I went flat on my face at work yesterday. They have these 3 inch high metal plates on the floor to keep pallets out of work areas. There was something I needed in a work area and headed for it and didn't see the plate. I tripped over it with my right foot and I think my left foot caught as I was going down, so I couldn't get it under me fast enough. A little gash on my right calf, a pull in the back of my left knee and something weird with my right shoulder. The embarrassing thing is that I was FLAT on my face. Nothing like feeling stupid with some injuries, I tell ya.

I was sore as hell today when I got up, but doesn't feel like anything is seriously wrong.

OK. Enough already!!

Just some things

Here's a cool link...Check it out

Billy and his friend Jonathan put a sidewalk and driveway in for us this week. Check the pic page for some pics in a few.

Toby moves tomorrow. Ill be heading up to help him as well.

Here Comes the.....

.....Band.

So far so good.

I went up to Joe's to practice again today. We did 5 songs. We're gonna try for 5 more in a few weeks.

A lot of driving, but it's worth it.

When we got off our ass and did stuff. It was pretty complete. Good vocals too, all the way around.

As I get more, I'll give you more.

Promoland

Cat came down for a visit last night.

We did a slew of promo's for the upcoming alumni weekend at WNTE. Got up today and did some more.

Then we went into the opening of the brand new Weis grocery store. We are now officially very spoiled. But there is still some stuff that we have to go to Giant to get.

Free buckets and sponges with a gas fillup? :)

Are they implying something?

Billy's Back....

I had to take a sick day today.

I had a problem Saturday and the same thing occurred today. I feel dizzy when I wake up.

The doctor gave me a fancy word for it. But basically, I need to drink water or eat a pretzel or something before I get up. My blood pressure is down for some reason. Hopefully the water will take care of it.

Anyway. Billy came out tonite and we started working on our reconstruction plans for the house. He's gonna come out tomorrow and do some measuring for cost estimates.

So if you need some concrete work done....

Hey Hoopy Froods!!!!

I never have a point-of-view gun when I need one.

I watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night. Very good. I think you need the books to really get the movie. I was impressed with Mos Def as Ford Prefect. Most rap guys are trying to be "hip", but this guy showed promise as an actor.

....and a Hoopy Frood.

I posted a bunch of promo's on the forum. They're under the reunion updates segment. Go check em out.

Tonite, the Aristocrats.

Lousy name, Decent Band.

Panic at the Disco! ( I think the exclamation point is mandatory)

Heard them on VH2. Very good song, great hook. Very nicely presented. I hope to hear more by them, but so far it's the New Cars and Panic at the Disco! tm on my shopping list.

lemme know if you hear something about either.

and go to the forum

Jessica Simpson

I was really impressed.

Jessica was in DC to promote her pet charity. I believe it's called Operation Smile. They provide plastic surgery for disfigured children. (It sorta figures it has something to do with plastic surgery, huh?)

Anyway. President Loser got wind she was in town and was invited to a Republican fund raiser. They told her she'd be at the head table and guaranteed face time with the Liar himself.

She turned them down.

For a day, she gained about 50 brownie points with me. Then the story came across that she LOVES George, but she hates fund raisers.

Back down to zero.

Check the forum here.

Busyness

A lot of my time has been tied up with the forum (see the link). Up until last week.

My father inlaw had to go to the hospital. Initially we thought it was a mini-stroke. Now it seems that it was complications from kidney stones. He's at home and doing fine.

I start my regular slot at work this week. Noon to 8:30 M thru F at Fry Communications. I'll be interested to see how it works out.

If you want to see what I've been up to, follow the forum link, sign on and POST.

Interesting Headline........

Sometimes, there's one that just grabs your attention.

On CNN.com there's a headline that says..."Tiger Poo, the new Black Gold".

:)

Dead Eye Dick

Dick Cheney accidentally shot a guy during a hunting trip.

I always thought of this administration as the gang who couldn't shoot straight.

These guys keep getting funnier and funnier. :)

BTW

I've started a forum.

Come on over and join. Kick yer shoes off and chat awhile.

One for the Thumb

The Steelers win the XL Superbowl. 21-10

Very interesting game, very well matched too. I hate to see blowouts, this one went back and forth for a long time.

We did our part by eating wings and bread with dip. yum

I thought the Stones did a good job at the halftime show. At least they played live. The stage was very cool too. I used to get the theatre magazines that would show you a breakdown of how they would construct and move stuff.

As far as the pregame goes. Joss Stone was the blackest person on that stage. :)

I think I will make a celebratory smore with my new smore maker.

I wonder how many people will show up for work tomorrow. I think it's a state holiday.

cya

Gooooooo.......

....Steelers.

But I bet you've heard that before.

I've been busy. Busy being tired. I actually feel pretty good tonite, that's why I'm posting.

Type some comments and let me know you're still here......both of you. :)

Legalize Clownsnack.....

......just because.

We put Xmas stuff away today. I know it's late (or, for some, early) but with the wedding and everything this is the first chance we've had.

So my living room is somewhat back to normal.

Anybody want a piano?

Welcome Alumni.....

.....you perverts.

The folks that worked at my college radio station have been burning up the internets lately.

So, we set up a blog.

That's where us old folks go. :)

Dearly Beloved......

Toby and Melanie got married yesterday.

Friday night was rehearsal. I zoomed home from work and we headed up to McClure. This towns claim to fame is that Davy Jones from the Monkees has a farm there. My niece ran into him in a bar up that way one time.

Anyway, I digress.

We all got together and rehearsed, then went to one of the anterooms and had lasgana, quite tasty.

We headed to the EMS building in Mifflintown to set up for the reception and I fell in love. With the lighting. They have a professional control system and 8 leko's that we're made in this century. Very easy to set up. I had no idea I was running into this so it was kinda like xmas for me. They had a mirror ball, so we put a few lamps on that and set up a few lights for a spotlight dance. There were colored strips on the stage that we're hard wired. It would be nice to break them out over the dance floor, but we take what we get.

I would KILL to have that setup at the high school. Bump and chase capability. Just fantastic. Margaret has talked about doing her show up there, but has a few problems with the physical plant. Maybe I can talk her into it.

Anyway, I digress......again.

They did an outdoor type thing. There was an archway at the entry, a lovely "piece" over the dance floor and behind the head table. I'll put some pics up after I finish this.

We worked into the evening. Talking to the kids later, we realized that their alcohol setup was limited, so we offered to go pick some up for them.

We went home after everything was up.....around 11 or so. Had a lot of fun putting stuff up too.

We got up and headed into the liquor store before noon. Billy met us in there and we made our selections. We then headed to the distributor and got the kegs and set up. Dropped stuff at the building, headed home to change.

Then went over to get the inlaws and went back up to McClure. I got roped into doing video, so I got to set in front of the crowd, but I did get some great shots. It was a 4:30 wedding and it was very nice.

The most interesting thing was, at the end, the bride and groom dismissed the rows. So instead of a receiving line, you got to greet them an go.

We wrapped everything up and headed back to the inlaws to change, then into the EMS building. The dj's were good, but it was WAY too much country music for my taste. I worked with them a little bit to get the lights the way they wanted.

Then we partied.

I got to meet Toby's friends, who are very cool. In fact, I got invited to a party on St. Patty's day and I'm going. :)

Everyone had a splendid time. We tore down the alcohol and headed home. I'm thinking about opening a bar. :)

Check out the picblog for some wedding pics.
