	10:08pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Little Danny! Loving the NC6 spin!
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: hmm, am i a goofball or a tripster? i haven't dropped acid in over 3 decades so i guess i'm a goofball.
	10:09pm Little Danny: Coel, Franco, Chresti and Le Great Gaylord! Welcome cool blue friends
	📉 10:09pm chresti: Flash, I was so entranced by your show, I forgot to say thanks !
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: This has a creepy under the pier vibe.
	10:11pm Flash Strap: my incredible pleasure chresti! gotta go under the radar now, mother-in-law is in town and i must be present once again. but listening!
	10:11pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: that first NC6 album is some deep teen drama
	10:11pm zonk ludlow: Hiya Danny and Flamers. So happy to be here in real time, it has been too long.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: there are several ladies riding composite camels. each weirder than the last.
	10:12pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, what's in a name man? Choose your own path.We are all sunlight.
	10:12pm Little Danny: @Zonk! Nice to see you again!
	10:13pm Little Danny: @Franco: totally some under-the-pier business
	10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Gaylord looking forward to the summer soulstice
	10:14pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt from New Orleans: Thanks! It's a month and a half away. I'll be ready.
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: This I must find! Is it on Chimminyville?
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: this reminding me of a track on wonderwall music. maybe it's the lovely distorted piano.
	10:15pm Franco Twinkie: He must have been there. It really captures the noir Saigon.
	10:17pm Little Danny: @Franco: nope, it's one a one-off (or two-off) label: www.45cat.com...
	10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Check.
	10:23pm Matt from New Orleans: I don’t recall this as the Undertaker’s ring entrance music from my younger days
	10:25pm Franco Twinkie: Clearlight! Alan Brackett gave them the name Brain Train.
	10:27pm Little Danny: @Matt: he really missed quite an opportunity there
	10:28pm Little Danny: @Franco: Have we talked about Clear Light before? Totally doesn't surprise me that you have some knowledge
	10:29pm northguineahills: washing dishes, paying bills, etc, but still listening...
	10:30pm Little Danny: NGH: Good! Let me carry a bit of your load if I may
	10:31pm Franco Twinkie: Alan told me that one July 4th he was on acid and rode a skateboard down Edgecliff in Siverlake, a very steep street, jumped off and slid about a hundred feet standing up and he got a standing ovation from people on their front porch.
	10:33pm Little Danny: Amazing
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti lived on Edgecliff before we got together. She also lived on Fargo and Echo Park, The steepest street in L.A. One Easter I stopped at her house before I went over to my folks. I had a pie in the car that was cobbler after I got to the bottom of the hill.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Plasticland was also a line of little houses and building for your HO train set from Germany. They also had a set of tiny hippies that came in a little box.
	📉 10:44pm chresti: I love wonderwall @coel
	10:49pm Dean: Checking in, I read, "hippies that came in a little box." So now I'm checking out.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: chresti i already have the album cued up for later (probably tomorrow)
	10:50pm Dean: Still have my wonderwall. Stupidly, sold electronic sounds.
	10:51pm Little Danny: @Dean: Hey bud! Stick around, you'll learn to love us, even the hippies!
	10:52pm Dean: ('twas a joke, a juvenile play on the verb...)
	10:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny I’m going to keep listening but take my leave from the thread
	10:52pm melinda: yes to vibes
	10:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Have a good night everyone
	10:53pm melinda: I love the concept of a tiny hippie set in a box.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: Franco when i was (one time i was) in san francisco i came upon the windiest road. i didn't know about it but my companion did. is the steepest street in la windie too? (i mean, the steepness is why the windiest was made so windie, after all)
	10:55pm Dean: Lombard Street, big tourist attraction
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: i'm imagining tiny hippies in a box making plans here: i.pinimg.com...
	10:59pm Franco Twinkie: Except for the windie part, Lombard is just a normal street with a lot of motels.
	📉 11:00pm chresti: Haha coel. It strikes me counter intuitive to have hippies living in Plasticland, unless they're in jail
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: Fargo is a straight drop. Laurel and Hardy rolled a piano down Fargo in one of their shorts.
	11:07pm northguineahills: Ok, done w/ enough dishes and bills for tonight. Now is when I try to remember what tracks in the last hour to clickystar.
	11:08pm Dean: I always figured the L&H piano schtick was a function of George Lucas's brilliant special effects.
	11:08pm Little Danny: Well done, NGH
	11:10pm northguineahills: I think I'm the only person who has only been to the SF and the Oakland airports, as the only places in the Bay Area I've been.... (at least I've visited L.A. proper [as a kid])
	11:11pm Dean: You've seen it all, ngh. Trust me.
	11:12pm northguineahills: Ok, is nova scotian whiskey new scotch? Anyways, going to take a shot anyways (crappy Canadian whiskey FTW!)
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: It was Stans job to ride the piano if I remember correctly. Maybe it was both of them. Can you imagine Ollie taking it all the way to the La Brea Tarpits then falling in?
	11:14pm Dean: "Can you imagine Ollie taking it all the way to the La Brea Tarpits then falling in?" No, I can't. It would have been a mess, without question, but not a fine mess.
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: Hardy har har!
	11:15pm northguineahills: I want to see a piano playing contest, a la soap box derby downhill. Just mic each piano and put the pianists in bubble wrap...
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: i'd like my bubble wrap to be mylar please
	11:18pm Dean: Jackass meets Masterpiece Theater
	11:18pm Little Danny: Y'all are killing me
	11:18pm Little Danny: the GOOD kind of killing, that is
	11:19pm Kris Holmes: Ivy Joe is underrated
	11:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Kris Holmes: And not to be confused with Ivory Joe Hunter.
	11:21pm Little Danny: Yeah but pretty stiff competition at Motown (and Detroit in general) in those years. Hi Kris!
	11:23pm Gaylord Fields: Or his Motown contemporary (plain ol') Joe Hunter.
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, how about The Boston Pops blended with Destruction Derby? That I would watch.
	11:26pm northguineahills: Just visit piano graveyards, and give them a fitting exciting end like Ross Bolleter (the Ozzie composer who does compositions for ruined pianos).
	11:26pm Kris Holmes: Many people confuse Ivy & Ivory it is true
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: wow, just looking at pictures and reading about lombard street and now thankful it was not jammed with tourists when we were there. i don't think there was another vehicle on it at all when we drove it down. waiting in line to drive on it is not something i would've done; and being practically bumper-to-bumper on it would've taking any fun out of it.
	11:27pm Little Danny: Joe Hunter? New Motown name to me
	11:27pm Gaylord Fields: And Ivy Jo Hunter and Joe Hunter were both Motown session keyboardists at the same time, to make things even more confusing.
	11:27pm Kris Holmes: We lived in the Echo Park/Silverlake/Los Feliz neighborhoods for a minute
	11:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: www.hollywoodreporter.com...
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I have a picture of the family sedan on Lombard with no other cars in sight in 1966, with my head visible over a box of kleenex.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: post it!
	11:33pm northguineahills: Ok, passing out. Thanks again, LD & friends!
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: if i'm remembering correctly who i went down it with i was there in 1993, around ...august? no indication that it was a tourist attraction, except there was a sign somewhere saying it was the most crooked road on earth (something like that)
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: gnight ngh
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: At the other end of Lombard by the Presidio was this place called Clown Alley. They had a machine on the counter that sold boxes of matched for a penny. I would stock up there, since I was very interested in starting fires back then.
	11:39pm Little Danny: Thanks Gaylord! Interesting that he was slightly older than a lot of his Funk Brothers
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: ah, the good old days -when there was no shortage of unscrupulous store owners willing to sell damn-near anything to children.
	11:41pm Dean: San Francisco has always struck me as a bullshit town. The exceptions -- City Lights, maybe a restaurant or two, William Stout's amazing architecture bookstore -- prove the rule. I've lived a half hour away now for going on twenty years. I almost never go there, and when I do it's not because I want to.
	11:42pm Dean: But then Chicago bores me to tears, and Manhattan is at best quaint.
	11:43pm Little Danny: Hahaha, Dean. You are so Dean.
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: i was surprised at how snooty and spoiled the supposed "punks" were in downtown sf
	📉 11:46pm chresti: Shirley Temple's daughter lived there, she was a snooty punk
	11:47pm Little Danny: That's poetry, Chresti
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: The funny thing about that Clown Alley(there was another one in North Beach) Phil Lesh said that after a day of tripping in the woods in Marin, The Dead would stop there for burgers before a show in town.
	11:48pm Dean: Yeah, that's me, but it's also this independent guy who entirely agrees with me. LA punks, in my experience, were not at all snooty. That's what I loved about the scene. Anybody ... including me! -- could be part of it, because "being part of" was acknowledged as bogus from the get-go.
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: for the record, chicago didn't impress me either. by that i mean it was a disappointment, as i was looking forward to it. lots and lots of "yuppies" jogging and rollerblading and clogging up the sidewalks near the trendy coffeeshops; and extremely unfriendly drivers, very impatient with someone who had tags from 1000 miles away who clearly was unfamiliar, just looking for a place to park mid-morning on a sunday -before giving up and driving toward pa.
	📉 11:49pm chresti: SF is a party town. It's crazy on Halloween and New Year's eve.
	11:50pm Dean: I suppose if parties on Halloween and NYE evince "crazy," then yes, SF is a party town. But so is every suburb ever.
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: one of the primary reasons i revisited san francisco more than once was to shoot film in golden gate park, in the nursery
	📉 11:53pm chresti: It's always been a party town, since Gold Rush days, at least.
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Even if it is going down the digital crap hole, there is still loads of fun to be had there. I know, I'm there all the time.
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: don't you guys live in or near la?
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Yes. But Chresti family is there.
	📉 11:55pm chresti: And the streets are full of raving schizophrenics
	📉 11:56pm chresti: Thanks Danny, great!
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, I'm still a party guy too!
	11:57pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for the two hours of power, Little Danny!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: holy cannoli batman it's midnight?
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, you mind-blower! Keep it up.
	11:58pm Dean: Loads of fun aren't conditioned upon place.
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, go to bed.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! take care & good night blueberries, or, i'll see you at Nick's place
	12:00am Dean: As soon as I can get the kids to brush their teeth, I will go to bed.
	📉 12:02am chresti: Goodnight kids! SF: playland at the dump! (it's ALWAYS been expensive)
	12:03am coelacanth∅: oh Nick's not around. never mind. good night!
	12:04am coelacanth∅: have a good time away Danny!
	12:04am Little Danny: My people! Thank you! See y'all around! MASSIVE LUV FOR YOU

	11:27pm coelacanth∅: wow, just looking at pictures and reading about lombard street and now thankful it was not jammed with tourists when we were there. i don't think there was another vehicle on it at all when we drove it down. waiting in line to drive on it is not something i would've done; and being practically bumper-to-bumper on it would've taking any fun out of it.
	11:27pm Little Danny: Joe Hunter? New Motown name to me
	11:27pm Gaylord Fields: And Ivy Jo Hunter and Joe Hunter were both Motown session keyboardists at the same time, to make things even more confusing.
	11:27pm Kris Holmes: We lived in the Echo Park/Silverlake/Los Feliz neighborhoods for a minute
	11:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: www.hollywoodreporter.com...
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I have a picture of the family sedan on Lombard with no other cars in sight in 1966, with my head visible over a box of kleenex.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: post it!
	11:33pm northguineahills: Ok, passing out. Thanks again, LD & friends!
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: if i'm remembering correctly who i went down it with i was there in 1993, around ...august? no indication that it was a tourist attraction, except there was a sign somewhere saying it was the most crooked road on earth (something like that)
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: gnight ngh
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: At the other end of Lombard by the Presidio was this place called Clown Alley. They had a machine on the counter that sold boxes of matched for a penny. I would stock up there, since I was very interested in starting fires back then.
	11:39pm Little Danny: Thanks Gaylord! Interesting that he was slightly older than a lot of his Funk Brothers
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: ah, the good old days -when there was no shortage of unscrupulous store owners willing to sell damn-near anything to children.
	11:41pm Dean: San Francisco has always struck me as a bullshit town. The exceptions -- City Lights, maybe a restaurant or two, William Stout's amazing architecture bookstore -- prove the rule. I've lived a half hour away now for going on twenty years. I almost never go there, and when I do it's not because I want to.
	11:42pm Dean: But then Chicago bores me to tears, and Manhattan is at best quaint.
	11:43pm Little Danny: Hahaha, Dean. You are so Dean.
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: i was surprised at how snooty and spoiled the supposed "punks" were in downtown sf
	📉 11:46pm chresti: Shirley Temple's daughter lived there, she was a snooty punk
	11:47pm Little Danny: That's poetry, Chresti
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: The funny thing about that Clown Alley(there was another one in North Beach) Phil Lesh said that after a day of tripping in the woods in Marin, The Dead would stop there for burgers before a show in town.
	11:48pm Dean: Yeah, that's me, but it's also this independent guy who entirely agrees with me. LA punks, in my experience, were not at all snooty. That's what I loved about the scene. Anybody ... including me! -- could be part of it, because "being part of" was acknowledged as bogus from the get-go.
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: for the record, chicago didn't impress me either. by that i mean it was a disappointment, as i was looking forward to it. lots and lots of "yuppies" jogging and rollerblading and clogging up the sidewalks near the trendy coffeeshops; and extremely unfriendly drivers, very impatient with someone who had tags from 1000 miles away who clearly was unfamiliar, just looking for a place to park mid-morning on a sunday -before giving up and driving toward pa.
	📉 11:49pm chresti: SF is a party town. It's crazy on Halloween and New Year's eve.
	11:50pm Dean: I suppose if parties on Halloween and NYE evince "crazy," then yes, SF is a party town. But so is every suburb ever.
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: one of the primary reasons i revisited san francisco more than once was to shoot film in golden gate park, in the nursery
	📉 11:53pm chresti: It's always been a party town, since Gold Rush days, at least.
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Even if it is going down the digital crap hole, there is still loads of fun to be had there. I know, I'm there all the time.
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: don't you guys live in or near la?
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Yes. But Chresti family is there.
	📉 11:55pm chresti: And the streets are full of raving schizophrenics
	📉 11:56pm chresti: Thanks Danny, great!
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, I'm still a party guy too!
	11:57pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for the two hours of power, Little Danny!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: holy cannoli batman it's midnight?
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, you mind-blower! Keep it up.
	11:58pm Dean: Loads of fun aren't conditioned upon place.
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, go to bed.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! take care & good night blueberries, or, i'll see you at Nick's place
	12:00am Dean: As soon as I can get the kids to brush their teeth, I will go to bed.
	📉 12:02am chresti: Goodnight kids! SF: playland at the dump! (it's ALWAYS been expensive)
	12:03am coelacanth∅: oh Nick's not around. never mind. good night!
	12:04am coelacanth∅: have a good time away Danny!
	12:04am Little Danny: My people! Thank you! See y'all around! MASSIVE LUV FOR YOU
