8. Another shot of Frictionless and a couple buddies...
Gee, we missed you and dx and unhappy camper and dicksteele and Swamp Rat and so many others. Hopefully, sometime we can all meet to celebrate the toppling of the evil empire.

28. m'eh.
It probably would have been if it was a fishing trip! lol!

The no drugs and alcohol rule really helps out at camp though.

35. Oh, I didn't know that
Sorry if that was an inappropriate comment, frictionlessO ;-)

No drugs and alcohol sounds like good camp rules.

37. not at all!
and yep there are signs up asking that you not bring in or partake of D&A.

Though honestly in the heat of the day (or night!), one could really use a crisp beer. Its obvious what that would lead to though.

But yeah nothing innappropriate at all, my friend.

38. Glad to hear that
Nice pic with the digeridoo - if I remember the name correctly.
I had a friend that used to play that. Very special sound.

Well, good luck @ the camp, and keep up the good work! :-)

21. Oh you bad bad boy...
hehehe. I have a very different style of playing and have not played nearly as long as Graham Wiggins (thats his real name). Though a lot of didj players think what I do is good and unique. I sound a lot more like Stephen Kent.

Graham uses a lot of technology (effect pedals and loops) to create what he is dreaming, I on the other hand am way to low on cash most of the time to invest in a rig like that... though I'd love one.

I also make them and refurbish them.


Thanks for asking though, neat to find someone who knows and likes the didj thang.

27. Family Tree or Oil and Water....
BTW I am no where near as good a player as Stephen (I can call him by his first name like that because he camped and hung out with my tribe this Summer for 3 or 4 days! sorry but I am still thrilled about it ;) ), I just get a lot of inspiration from him.

He also had a project called Trance Mission that was a trance/ambient powerhouse in the early to mid 90s.

He also is just an incredibly down to earth super nice hang out with anyone person... not to mention he dislikes bushco as much as us! lol...

Check him out, I hope he's your cup o'
tea so to speak.

4. Wonderful photos!
And, thx a thousand times for being in Crawford for all of us who can't be there!

It's just amazing when I think back to the first photos of those few brave souls camped out in the ditch... and now we have a nationwide movement to speak out against this crazy war!!

6. Ooooooh--- Captain May. Encore! Encore!
:hi:

Frictionless was amazing on the dig. What an unusual and haunting sound it makes. Where is the pic of you playing? :)

Nice to meet those awesome Texas DUers. Hi y'all!

I'm gonna add that line to my signature as soon as I can find the date he uttered those fateful words. "I think it is important for me to go on with my life lies."

9. Pics! and I heard your voice on Randi today!!
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 07:54 PM by Generic Other
This is delightful. That last pic of the rocks is so perfect!

So many great shots. I loved the one of DA's sister with one of his signs. She looked pooped out! You served in a dual role: medic and reporter! How many talking heads at CNN can say that?

Did you see Anderson Cooper? There was a pic of him with a hole in his britches. Thought he might have come to the triage to get sewed up!

20. Thanks so much to all of you
keeping peace alive. With W and the war whooping rally yesterday, you would think the war is all good. No amount of death is too much for the smirking liar.

31. Thanks, glad to go again. :-) Good job taking a bus down there.
I hope you have a good turnout.

I read you report on the Houston Dems web site. Excellent account and photos.:thumbsup: The site looks great overall. I bet it keeps you busy.

32. Thanks Kat
Glad you like the site. It does keep me busy but we've got a great team of bloggers, including JohnCoby and PDittie so I'm not alone in the effort.

Just got back from a great townhall meeting on Iraq with Sheila Jackson Lee and others. I'll blog that tomorrow and cross post it here.

34. HoustonDemocrats.com is fricken AWESOME!
It's now on my favorites.

ABC shoulda used Kats interview- however they used mine.
When asked, When Cindy leaves, will these protests end.
My reply actually popped open the eyes and jaws of the
cute lil' reporter. "We are here to say, in fact let me
use a few of George Bush's words, 'We're Resolute'"

My kids and hubby happened to catch it, and said they
laughed their asses off. But were very proud of me.

My best friend called me yesterday, a canadian transplant.
She tells me that her brother called from Ottowa and says
he was watching the news last Sunday night, when all of
a sudden he sees and says aloud to his wife, "Hey, that looks
like Debbie Mc" She responds, "No that doesn't look like
Debbie Mc, that IS Debbie Mc"

I get back to the hospital, where most don't know my politics,
And now, everyone does, as a few loud mouth doctors happened to
catch the news that night too. However it's kinda cool
now, where many folks are secretly letting me know
how unhappy they are with our current mis-leader.

Thanks for going back!

I'm honored that HoustonDemocrats.com is on your favorites!:blush:

I'm lucky to be going back. I'd stay if I could. We've got a busload going from Houston this time to show some more of that good ole Texas hospitality!

Keep in touch! :hug:
