So I was planning on hauling my big ol' Goo-stalking ass out to Buffalo for a "Fan Brunch" being held in Buffalo, NY on GGD Day (April ?). It's planners over at Ragdoll's never sent my invitation. Do you think it is lost out there somewhere?

Shit, man, I wouldn't hold my breath if you're waiting for raggers to send it! In fact, I wouldn't dare go near the place for fear of me stalking one of them! LMFAO! they should be careful with people who don't like raggers....
WTF are they thinking? oh, i forgot...they DON'T THINK!
Peace out!
Love you Guys!
Wink wink! oh, and watch your karma!

I really don't think it was intentional, I mean those people over there, they are compassionate intellectuals. Shirley they will welcome you with open arms, all you have to do is tell them that you ARE from Buffalo and went to the same school that the guys went to. Just say something like, "Oh, the stories I could tell you!!" and watch them all fall at your feet. You know we could all go and watch these prime examples of what a REAL fan is, but I think I would rather go watch the ants in the backyard. I can imagine what is gonna go on. It's on the 13th of April, a Friday,(that makes me happy for some reason). You can even share a room with a complete stranger if you want to save fifty bucks. And lunch will only cost you $35.00, who the hell eats 35.00 dollars worth of food for lunch alone and considers it a "deal!" Maybe a horse. I don't know. If I was looking for a deal, I bet I could find one a FUCKING bit cheaper!!!I mean what the FUCK is the big deal? Could someone explain that to me please?

ok noone, i'll explain it to you. here's the deal:

you're a normal person, and you don't see the point in paying lots of bucks just to sit in a room with a bunch of weirdos and get some thrill from breathing air that is in the same town where your idols grew up.

its kind of funny, real fan clubs have had this kind of luncheon/breakfast whatever event for a long time, with one exception...the artist comes too. lol...

maybe the theory is, that cuz its The Day, the Official Day...there will be an unexpected drop-by from One Of Them. Yeah, and maybe monkeys will fly...oh, excuse me...must remember noone's ban on obscenity..lol....I guess if there isn't a visit from the gods they will just all go en masse to the old haunts, and try to absorb the atmosphere that formed the psyches of their heroes.

you know, on a more compassionate note, its true that obsessions arent that rare, nearly everyone engages in some form of obsessive-compulsive behaviour, and i guess this one isnt that unusual. i think what gets me the most is how the obsession blots out the person's understanding of the object of the obsession as another human being with feelings. i know not all these chicks are that far gone, but they just seem so eager to leap into attack mode when the artist does something they dont approve of. so i guess, the bigger question is, how does anyone change them? is there any way that they could ever be enlightened to see how detrimental their behaviour is, to themselves and others? the last time i tried to illuminate hearts on another board, my message never saw the light of day. it was in response to the most rabid, venomous "fan" i have ever heard spew on a page, and to those who ran quickly to her support. my unheard plea for sanity follows....

in every member of humankind, beats a heart. that heart, if normal, feels. no matter who you are, no matter what your occupation, those who deride you, those who wear their hate with pride, will at times unnerve you. do not think, for one second, that the torrent of negativity that is occasionally unleashed on those in the public eye, falls harmlessly away. do not believe that there is some magical bulletproof coat, that protects the hearts of those who make music from the madness of those who believe they own them. please think about the possibility, in this new milennium, of showing respect for those you profess to love.


just a serving suggestion....

I guess the most ironic thing would be for the Band to actually show up to the big Shindig, and bring their girlfriends!!! Oh it would be beautiful! I can only imagine what a select few of their (fair-weathered) fans would have to say about that!

ahh, yossarian...josheph heller fan, i take it? nice to have you here...are you the last rational person in your universe? our moral center? or are you simply caught in your own catch-twenty-something? no matter, i trust you will stay far afield of leaden biscuits and unleaded coffee. someday you'll figure out a legit way to get out of those suicide missions...

too many more missions to fly, im afraid...if you're insane you get to stop, but if you stop, you must be sane, so you have to continue...sounds a bit like touring, maybe?

yeah, they dont call one's stay in the military a "tour" of duty for nothing. i guess those on the no-slack tours of the world can comfort themselves with this though, catering is better than mess hall..well, usually. civvies beat the hell out of uniforms. and no matter what the army tells you, my suspicion is civilian pilots are better...

plus, not nearly as many bad guys to battle, even counting unions, promoters, crazed fans, lazyass security, hotdog media members and the worst of all, disc jockeys.

mess hall cannot be worse than catering, its impossible...the art of rubber chicken has been perfected for generations...mixed vegies? the infamous 'sandwich platter'? impossible, i say...lol. and as far as bad guys go, i notice you were careful to leave out lawyers, road managers, and the ever-popular-at-lynchings, programming directors?

and its never ever just plain chicken, no matter how many times its specified...

as for my glaring omissions: Anyone who lets a lawyer go on the road deserves chicken au sloppy sauce...plus, i try not to offend the barristers among us, they seem to deserve the white glove treatment..or is that the rubber glove treatment..lol

road managers? they're already nearly homicidal as it is. plus, they carry the per diem.

and program directors are all just disc jockeys with a meaningless title to make up for their infinitesimal salary....shhh, but dont tell them or we'll have to shoot them.

Um, Bukowski....hmmmm! WOW! I think that you should really try to post that LAST paragraph on rag's site! It would make for great debate! and Remember to post as Anonymous, since they have so many of them over there! gee, do you THINK you could get thru to ONE OF THEM? an experiment in the process. In the interim, you might want to post THE LAST paragraph on that Sue's bd, Boardhost, I don't have the link. I would love to see what ensues from that as she does NOT delete posts!
What does everyone THINK about that? HMMM?
I love you ALL!
Watch your karma!

We could make the trek to Pawtucket RH, and live the moment.- Maybe have brunch instead. Any suggestions? Oh and we could all dress like ground hogs TOO!!!Hmmmmm...

Okay, so because I am the coolest and most loveable hot babe in the world, I have inside connections! I can't tell you what kind of connections, but all you that know me, know that whatever I say is true! Please, keep this amungst yourselves. I have in my hand right now the official Fan Luncheon Day Itinerary!
( actually it's just my itinerary )
and I will share a few of the highlights with you now.

6:00 a.m. wake up early.
( because we are all perky, peppy, happy, horney women )

6:10 a.m. giggle and clap and hug

6:30 a.m. decide what WISPY/ROMANTIC/MIDDLEAGED outfit we are gonna wear!

8:00 a.m. giggle and clap and hug

8:10 a.m. get dressed

9:00 a.m. go see Niagara Falls

9:45 a.m. look at the falls, hate the cold wet spray, complain that it's gonna frizz hair!

10:00 a.m. head back to Buffalo!!

10:45 a.m. get back to hotel

10:50 a.m. giggle and clap and hug!

11:00 a.m. change wet clothes and redry hair

12:00 p.m. rush over to the restaurant, ask the person sitting at the "head" of the table to move, because you deserve to sit there! Being there first is irrelevant, after all, YOU do have connections.


12:02 p.m. wonder where that damn waiter is.

12:05 p.m. start talking loudly so that EVERYONE in the restaurant can hear me, (lord knows they all want to and if they don't they should!)

12:07 p.m. orders a Lemondrop Martini!!

12:09 p.m. gets really mad when the waiter has no idea what that is.

12;10 p.m. describes loudly and in great detail how to make a lemondrop martini, so that everyone can tell what a great and gracious fan really is.

12:15 gets out of chair, jumps up and down clapping and giggling!!

12:30 p.m. orders another lemondrop martini and tells the waiter to keep em coming!

1:00 p.m. eats a little salad but that's it because everyone is on a diet.

1:30 p.m. wonders why the FUCK aren't the Goo's coming!

2:00 p.m. grabs one of the event coordinators by the neck and repeatedly asks them if they emailed an edited copy of "the plan" to the Goo's.

2:15 p.m. watches everyone else giggle and clap and hug.

2:30 p.m. everyone heads out to Broadway St.

2:50 p.m. sits in the car and watches everyone giggle and clap and hug.

3:00 p.m. everyone heads to the corner of Clark and Kent.

3:10 p.m. everyone gets out of the car, breathes deeply and jumps up and down giggling and clapping!

3:15 p.m. everyone stands there and absorbs the atmostphere.

4:00 p.m. goes and gets another couple of bottles of Belvedere.

4:50 p.m. heads over to the Continental to go have some more drinks.

5:00 p.m. can't believe the Goo's ever played in a dive like this.

6:00 p.m. Giggles and claps and staggers around.

7:00 p.m. pisses and moans about how the Goo's, if they really cared about their fans, would have shown up.

9:00 p.m. heads over to go see Lance Diamond play.

9:30 p.m. finds out this is Lance's weekend off.

9:35 p.m. giggle and claps

9:40 p.m. decides to go check out C.O. Jones

10:10 p.m. wonders why the hell Dave isnt playing in the band.

10:12 p.m. starts to rain

I am done typing this. The rest will just have to be a surprise.

OH WAIT!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEWS FLASH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MY INSIDE CONNECTION HAS JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE GOO'S WILL, I REPEAT ~~~~~WILL~~~~ BE THERE!!! AND TO MAKE IT ONE HUNDERD TIMES BETTER THAN THAT, JOHNNY JUST BROKE UP WITH ADRIENNE AND HAS SEEN A PICTURE OF ME AND IS GONNA ASK ME TO MARRY HIM! I HAVE TO GO NOW AND DYE MY HAIR AND LOOSE FIFTY POUNDS SO THAT I LOOK KIND OF LIKE THAT PICTURE I SENT IN FROM STAR SHOTS.

~!~NO ONE~!~

That settles in No one . . . Count me in!! The itinerary is perfect (except the spray from the Falls will actually make my hair limp and lifeless)! And even though we don't know each other, wouldn't it be great if we all shared one hotel room TOGETHER?!! Think of the $$ we would save. We could then use the extra cash to get some temporary-copycat-tatoos for the occasion! Oh yes, I'll say it again, I am in!
