h - sorry for the delayed reply. When I was 14, I wanted chicks to put out at 14. Now that I'm 30 and I have an 8 year old daughter that age has doubled to 28.

What a hypocrite I am. If I would have waited until 28 the magical birthday present would have never happened.

Fuck all this, I'm going to pack a bowl!!

My money is in the flying tire. Go Red Wings!!

What a disgrace if they don't win though. That would be like the Canadians not winning Gold at the Olympics.

LMMFAO

(for those illiterate: laughing my mother fucken ass off)

You guys crack me up!!!!!!

I have to pre-qualify this with some data....

I dated this girl in Elementary and High School (a total of 4 yrs, 3 1/2 in elementary and 1/2 of 9th grade). We went to Catholic School where the girls didn't really start putting out until 9th - 10th grade, yes that means that I was at least in the 9th grade before losing "it", anyway, she called me two days before my 25th birthday and said that she wanted to see me and give me a present. She was the present.

But that wasn't the best part of the present. See, she took a job in Seattle and was set to leave Memorial Day Weekend which happens to fall about 4 days after my birthday each year. We never left my house for those 4 days. That was the best present EVER! 14 years I waited for that present.

I guess good things do come to he who waits!

Oh yeah, Hookah is playing at the Hard Hat Cafe in Toledo, OH on Friday night. Anyone want to join us for the show???? This is only 1 1/2 hours (maximum) from my house and we will all be returning after the show to party and nap before the explosion on Saturday. It could make for an interesting affair. All are welcome to come and crash at my house. Let me know!

Sorry Brother - I don't know the Canadian Holiday sked. May 24th for me is the first day of Hookahville. That's why I ?'ed.

Thanks

Yes, my girlfriend (a.k.a. American Nomadess) and I will be at Frontier Town.

Beats - What is May 24?

I noticed that alot of you are looking to get a bus to go. Although I cannot help with that, a very large Detroit area group will be caravaning to Bonnarroo. You are all welcome to meet up with us and travel as a group. We all carry Motorola Talkabouts when traveling, which allows us to converse between all of the cars. The trip is only 600 miles (10 hours) from my house. It would be a great place for all of you to meet after crossing the border. Some could even grab a few hours of sleep while we wait for everyone to arrive.

Just a thought.......

Peace Through Music!

Sounds great to me, I think this will all work out perfectly.

PTM

Happy Birthday Keri!

We were definitely glad to accommodate you all. I had a great show dancing with all of you. Any Magic Bag show your going to, I'll probably be there. Call me and let me know, I'm right around the corner, as some of you well know.

Peace Through Music....................

I'm bummed ms. huxtable every one seemed to have seen you at the Ratdog show and I missed out. Wished we could have met.... or did we!?!

See you in Royal Oak! Peace...............

Last Thing... If you have an air mattress, bring it with you. I have one good one, one I'm not too sure holds air. Trying to get another one but if you have it, cool.

By the way, one more last thing, my daughter (Chandlor JeTaime, age 8) taught me a new slang word yesterday when we went to the Daddy / Daughter Tropical Laui Dance last night;

Wicked it means AWESOME! "I'm mean really cool like you Daddy."

Tears?

See you tomorrow.

Keri, here's the directions.

Take I-75 North to I-696

Take I-696 West toward Southfield/Lansing

Take 1-696 to Woodward Ave.

Get off at Woodward Ave.

Turn Southbound (Left) at Woodward Ave.

Take Woodward South, Just before 9 mile Rd there is a loop around to head North.

Go North on Woodward Ave. about 1 1/2 blocks

(Magic Bag will be on your right)

Turn right at first street past the Magic Bag,

East Breckenridge - Go down three blocks to stop sign (the street T's) turn left then quick right again on East Breckenridge.

Peace Through Music,

Robb

Sorry for the lack of posts leading up to the show. Quick explanation, I quit my job and I never felt better. I'm not getting another one, I'm starting my own and working for myself. I've been building the business for the past two weeks and already landed clients. So what I'm trying to say is that I'm not sitting in my office all day anymore. Harder to post on my own time.

Ace, Silvers alright I guess.

Hey everyone sorry for the delay in getting back with you about the accomodations. Backbacon, I've got room for 4 people NO PROBLEM. Just get in touch with me on my cell phone (again 734-765-5231). I will be in Royal Oak early, like 2ish Friday. What time will you be arriving?

SecondTube:

You weren't kidding about the questions, holy bageebees man, but here's my attempt....

Royal Oak is very yuppy not rough at all. The Heads are always around because it is very artsy. Very high priced though. About 15 bars/clubs surround the venue within 1 mile. Any type of dancing you want! Coffee shops and restaurants on every corner, get the picture, you will on Friday. Hotels and motels throughout the area, none within the mile though. You may have to drive a few miles but be careful because if you go south about 3 miles you're in a pretty shady part of Detroit. I would advise getting there early so you and your girlfriend can check out the town, it is actually really cool. The show is GA and last I checked it was not sold out. I can offer you both shelter for the night but it may be floor space. If you get a hotel you will want to basically look North or East of Royal Oak. Like I said a few miles South is Detroit. WARNING: Do Not stay anywhere near, on or south of 8 Mile Road (a.k.a. Baseline). That would be a bad, bad area. For general understanding the venue is located between 10 and 11 mile Road between Main Street and Woodward Ave.

My friends Ken & Melissa have offered their house and my new house is about 1 1/2 miles from the venue (but 4 blocks from the Magic Bag in Ferndale, if anyone's been there?)

Don't worry, I'll hash (I said "hash") out all of the details before your arrival.

Can't wait to see you all!

P.S. By the way Ace, I'd have no problem with the Silver if we didn't lose the Gold to a bunch of Canucks! Okay, slightly bitter....
