   back from the dentist, root canal is done, finallyu. Looking forward to theinevitable “rampler, onsug, Overnightscape convention” that we will hold someday. Wouldn’t that be great? I love the fact that as I listen to these shows so many topics are discussed that I thought only I thought about. Surely a collection of us nutters would be a fantastic party. I think it could be a pinball, videogame, cigar, whiskey, cult movie, great audio, music,
   festival. Like a worlds fair we could select a city out of our felt lined hat and ask the local taxpayers to dig deep, maybe build a structure or two and let us build a small monorail system. We could have the entire event recorded via electronic recording devices as well as many packets of custom View-master reels. The ghost of Douglas Trumball would come riding his cyclotronic broom cycle and capture Franks light parade on his showscan 65mm film process. Everyone would receive a nice shiny brass figlagee and we’d have a team of clysdale horses working diligently with Nasa’s cyborg monkeynauts crafting beer in frosted mugs made of crystal or plastic depending on our budget. I can smell the fresh kettle corn being roasted by the Andrews sisters over the Foodtopia Revue, the first in a row of hundreds of unique eateries. My favorite is the cereal bar which as you might expect is a long lunch counter with “cereal jerks” serving any cereal that has ever existed in perfect sized bowls and cold milk of all flavors and styles. I’d like to start with a bowl of wild west Ralston
   Waffle-O’s, served with ice cold whole milk. It’s not just cereal, they’ve got you covered with any kind of milk beverage you need, from Quik to bhang. I remember when I was in 9th grade waiting to turn 16. I had the calender ripped from my page a day calender and pinned on the wall, the countdown had begun, I got my first car a few weeks before my birthday and would practice driving it up and down the driveway and listen to tapes, my first cassette tape played in the car was the Doors geatest hits on a off-beige cassette, cassettes still had value then, and although it was a manufactured cassette it seemed to sound damn good to me, there was a real freedom in not knowing as much about speaker quality, audio fidelity and just enjoying the sound of freedom and privacy that my car afforded. I sure thought I was cool driving in my driveway and listening to the doors. So cool that my black Ford Escort that would shortly be named the “Foo-Mobile” in reference to Hong Kong Fooey, seemed like a very cool place to be. The car didn’t last all that long, but at the time it seemed like a long while, I had Bennetton F1 racing stickers on the inside and Vision Street Wear and The Cure stickers on the the tail, all sorts of flags in some attempt to live life as a bill board, it was before I would become concious of signs and labels and learn to avoid anything that tried too hard, I just was. If I seemed like a kid, that’s because I was, no reason to justify anything, just free living in the clueless stages of youth. I keep lucky stripes hidden to avoid detection by parental units who I imagined would be interested in prying into my freedom zone, I didnt smoke too much, but it was the idea that excited me, I’d practical get a, we’ll nevermind, anyway, I guess what I’m saying is that I look forward to having Nora-con 2025. Thank you and Great Job!
