13 hours early, friend

1/15/14 1:58pm Bliss:

Last one.
Really glad I can be here for it, live.

1/15/14 2:01pm Carmichael:

I'm glad to be a part of the archives, Kenzo. Immortality, if only temporary, is a good thing.

1/15/14 2:02pm Bliss:

Let's celebrate.

1/15/14 2:04pm listener james from westwood:

happy to be here, sad that it's for the last one. what a great addition to the fmu galaxy it was.

1/15/14 2:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Deletion

1/15/14 2:05pm Bliss:

Completion

1/15/14 2:06pm pacific standard simon:

I found Over The Edge on KPFA because I would fall asleep listening to music in the evening and wake up with the radio still going in the middle of the night.

1/15/14 2:11pm pacific standard simon:

Is the best art accidental? Is it still accidental if you put a frame around it?

1/15/14 2:11pm Mike Noble:

i got here 13 hours early then promptly fell asleep. what have i missed for the last 10 minutes?

1/15/14 2:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@pss: I often find that - Station~Stream seems so right to fall asleep to - then about 2-3 A.M. (maybe?) wake up & - wtf - ?!?...metaphor for meta-programming in the human bio-computer ??...

1/15/14 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

In the stock of favorite quotes :
'A Craftsman knows what he'll do ahead of time - but not an Artisit.'

1/15/14 2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...a-r-t-i-s-t...

1/15/14 2:14pm Mike Noble:

in another tab a video about the florida movie theater shooter started playing automatically. i almost didn't notice.

1/15/14 2:14pm earrie:

It's an excellent word, 'last' en.wiktionary.org...

1/15/14 2:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hello everyone! Welcome to goodbye!

1/15/14 2:15pm pacific standard simon:

I think it was Picasso who said something like 'You should have an idea of what you want to do, but it should be a vague idea.'

1/15/14 2:15pm Kurt Gottschalk:

i'm working at the library. i don't know what you're doing but i am checking every 20 seconds to make sure 'this little light of mine' is only coming through my headphones. quit freaking me out and quit quitting your show!

1/15/14 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& the Lysdexics should get together & - Untie !!...The Lysergics have other things on their minds...

1/15/14 2:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

Peace be with you.

1/15/14 2:16pm Bliss:

"Hiatus" was a word I saw.

1/15/14 2:17pm fred:

Hello Kenzo and listeners. I'm not time-shifting for a change, couldn't miss this one

1/15/14 2:18pm Bliss:

fred,
Glad you made it.

1/15/14 2:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I miss you

1/15/14 2:19pm earrie:

It's an incomparable adjective.

1/15/14 2:20pm Mike Noble:

these tracks are like tears in rain.

1/15/14 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...is the last ever Last Ever a double negative ? No? Syntax is so important...it's easier to understand than a Sin Tax, anyhow...

1/15/14 2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

ain't nuthin' no sadder than bread in the rain.
-- you may quote me.

1/15/14 2:21pm pacific standard simon:

No, we don't believe you. You need electroshock therapy, Dorothy.

1/15/14 2:22pm Bliss:

75 years ago.
Amazing.

1/15/14 2:22pm Mike Noble:

@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: lastever lastever = first in a never-ending series.

1/15/14 2:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...you mean - we were home all along - ??...it looked so strange...

1/15/14 2:22pm pacific standard simon:

...and the wicked witch wouldn't give her a Pepsi. All she wanted was a Pepsi.

1/15/14 2:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

return to oz is my favorite movie about electroshock therapy

1/15/14 2:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

P.S. WFMU GTDR stream watchers: Do alert me if the stream drops out! It should not do that.

1/15/14 2:24pm listener james from westwood:

an actual LOL on the suicidal tendencies ref, PSS

1/15/14 2:25pm listener james from westwood:

this week for the first time i heard electroshock referred to as "edison medicine."

1/15/14 2:25pm pacific standard simon:

It's true. I need to watch that again.

1/15/14 2:25pm WFMU GTDR stream watcher:

Sounds fine from here

1/15/14 2:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

jeezus, who was the voice talking about yoga? The voice sounded like same guy I sampled for a thing ages ago (self-hypnosis topic)... time warp....

1/15/14 2:26pm pacific standard simon:

Alan Watts.

1/15/14 2:27pm Bliss:

Alan Watts

1/15/14 2:27pm fred:

I'm be disappointed this show won't be on for the marathon. I was hoping Kenzo could have his time-shifting self as co-host, to get our rich future selves to give now, or our stupid past selves to give now instead of wasting the money

1/15/14 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- the Metaphysix is pretty heavy: It was on the Eve of War - 1939 - & they weren't in Kansas anymore, they were facing the mighty Wicked Witch of the East w/ Airpower...TinMan = ♆Heart, Lion =♇Courage (then in ♌Leo - a World on Fire), Scarecrow = ♅Brain
...The guy who played the Wizard was looking for the perfect old coat - & found it...the label said 'L.FrankBaum' - & it *was* his...

1/15/14 2:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

right. thought as much (thx ps simon / bliss) - very distinctive voice...

1/15/14 2:28pm pacific standard simon:

The least saintly saint.

1/15/14 2:28pm fred:

@RTD: this *is* a time warp zone

1/15/14 2:29pm pacific standard simon:

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

1/15/14 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

RTD: Biography of Watts: 'Genuine Fake'

1/15/14 2:29pm Jeff Golick:

waah

1/15/14 2:30pm Mike Noble:

Brian Cox attempted an Alan Watts impression in "Her." Unfortunately the illusion was ruined for me, he sounded too recognizably like Brian Cox.

1/15/14 2:31pm pacific standard simon:

Gore Vidal thought that The Wizard was based on William Jennings Bryan.

1/15/14 2:32pm Bliss:

i called, but maybe hung up 2 soon.

1/15/14 2:33pm pacific standard simon:

I keep hearing a Brian Eno song in the background that isn't actually there (at least I don't think it is).

1/15/14 2:34pm Carmichael:

For a fleeting moment, my eyes thought the board said you were on the air in Chile.

1/15/14 2:34pm listener james from westwood:

there was all manner of monetary policy allegory in baum's book from what i understand, so vidal may have been on to something.

1/15/14 2:34pm earrie:

And combined with
ever (not comparable) adv.
1. Always
2. At any time.
3. In any way
4. (informal) As intensifier.

1/15/14 2:35pm listener james from westwood:

my admittedly narrow exposure to brian cox is thru season 3 of "deadwood," so imagining him as watts is a helluva stretch. did he have a smoker's cough?

1/15/14 2:36pm Mike Noble:

the political interpretation of Oz is credited to a school teacher named Henry Littlefield

1/15/14 2:36pm Jeff Golick:

which was the evil of two Loessers?

1/15/14 2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

In the 1930s it was still the Golden Age of Hollywood, & it was still capable of reaching the Level of FairyTale - in fact, had to in the Depression. I would maintain that King Kong 1933 (Beauty & the Beast among other things; the real prototype of Daikaiju) did this as well as Oz (in fact, the Horror genre reached a definitive moment in that worst year of the Depression & in-between the Wars w/ Frankenstein - Science, Dracula - Magick)...

1/15/14 2:37pm Bliss:

I guess my phone calls didn't come through.
Oh well, great show.

1/15/14 2:37pm Mike Noble:

well it was a computer simulation of Watts, so it makes sense that he was cough-free.

1/15/14 2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...after the War we go Atomic & Noir & BeBop & Beat & so on...

1/15/14 2:39pm listener james from westwood:

interesting re: ladar levinson. had not previously heard of lavabit. reminds me of the fate of the penet anon remailer in the 90s.

1/15/14 2:40pm pacific standard simon:

If you want to read Vidal's essay on Baum, it's in the collection of non-fiction, United States.

1/15/14 2:41pm earrie:

(MIles = David Clennon)

1/15/14 2:41pm Ike:

1/15/14 2:42pm Reading Too Much Into It:

Sounded like the Cranberries were trying to sing the word "laaaaavabit" ...

1/15/14 2:43pm Ike:

1/15/14 2:43pm pacific standard simon:

Drag me away in handcuffs -- I like it rough, baby.

1/15/14 2:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

yes very much david clennon

1/15/14 2:45pm fred:

@Mike Noble: I will have to endure a presentation at work tomorrow, about a computer simulation of Marilyn Monroe's voice. I'm likely to sleep through it as usual

1/15/14 2:46pm northguineahills:

Cool, made it back in time!

1/15/14 2:47pm listener james from westwood:

w00t! mc 900 foot jesus!

1/15/14 2:48pm listener james from westwood:

fred, will it sing "happy birthday" to a computer-simulated jfk?

1/15/14 2:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” - George Orwell
...Sleeping to a simulation of Marilyn's voice might be a good way to go...riff sounded like a loop of 'I'll Be Your Mirror' pattern - as Nico turned up 'randomly' on my desktop wallpaper (out of many 1,000s)...

1/15/14 2:49pm Carmichael:

I am now officially in search of tamales. I will not travel as far as Chile or C'Ville.

Enjoy the future, and I'll be back to it later. or Then.

1/15/14 2:50pm fleep:

One wormhole closes, another wormhole opens. Sic transit gloria Kenzi.

@james: I don't think there will be a JFK, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had done that already

1/15/14 2:50pm Doug Schulkind:

When caught on the horns of a dilemma, I always try to ask myself, what would MC 900 ft Jesus do?

1/15/14 2:53pm Out of It:

How have I not heard of MC 900 Ft Jesus before? (Downloading now, thank you Filetram)

1/15/14 2:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

"I Love You. You're Perfect. Now Change.'

1/15/14 2:54pm fred:

@Doug: I go by the wisdom of Yogi Berra: when you come to a fork in the road, take it

1/15/14 2:57pm Jeff Golick:

@fred: and there was also this one "It gets last ever early around here."

The guy who did the Monroe voice is trying to get a grant to build a pair of rapping robots that could battle. He's having trouble explaining how this would improve society, for some reason

1/15/14 2:59pm pacific standard simon:

Did you just call me an ungulate?

1/15/14 2:59pm Doug Schulkind:

That was knife of you to say, Fred.

1/15/14 3:00pm listener james from westwood:

ah HAH, that IS st matthew's passion! was in the midst of typing a question. keep thinking it's from the music that began "Casino."

1/15/14 3:02pm Mike Noble:

isn't there a scientist who got funding to develop a robot stand-up comic?

1/15/14 3:02pm pacific standard simon:

Halfway to paradise.

1/15/14 3:03pm pacific standard simon:

Most comics are already too robotic -- ever try watching Comedy Central when Stewart or Colbert aren't on?

1/15/14 3:04pm listener james from westwood:

i do use scripts for calls, esp. for interviews or requests for same for articles i've written, and for work calls i take copious notes.

...technology developed for one reason can have applications for something completely different - like video game imaging enabling cheaply mapping the human genome par example...

1/15/14 3:08pm pacific standard simon:

There's a Phil Dick character in cold storage who will take your call, but you will be automatically transferred to his dream.

1/15/14 3:09pm Uncle Michael:

How many more robot standup comics does the world need?

1/15/14 3:11pm Bliss:

There's virtually no delay, I suppose.

"You're right on."

1/15/14 3:13pm pacific standard simon:

Without Kenzo, who will speak for the loops?

1/15/14 3:14pm Bliss:

I liked that clip.

1/15/14 3:16pm fred:

@pss: having received PLU's record yesterday, I think the loops still have a voice, though the accent is definitely different

1/15/14 3:16pm Bliss:

Grandiose.

1/15/14 3:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

She is ginger and I am garlic

1/15/14 3:18pm Bliss:

winning combo

1/15/14 3:18pm pacific standard simon:

True -- I had forgotten.

1/15/14 3:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

fred, I am going to make you a record! You'll hear about it in a month.

1/15/14 3:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

(Marathon...premium...)

1/15/14 3:20pm still b/p:

She's Ginger and you aren't Mary Ann?

1/15/14 3:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I am wearing my most innocent shorts

1/15/14 3:21pm pacific standard simon:

I wonder if WFMU will ever offer a branded turntable during the Marathon.

1/15/14 3:21pm fred:

There are tracks on Vicki's record that really remind me of Kenzo

1/15/14 3:21pm pacific standard simon:

Kenzo is The Professor.

1/15/14 3:22pm fred:

A Kenzo premium? I so want this

1/15/14 3:22pm Bliss:

Give him tenure.

1/15/14 3:23pm duke:

last chance for a last chance

1/15/14 3:23pm pacific standard simon:

By the way, Russell Johnson lives on the same island I do. True story. Never seen him, though.

1/15/14 3:23pm Doug Schulkind:

Actually, pacific standard simon, WFMU already had a "the professor": wfmu.org...

1/15/14 3:24pm Bliss:

37 minute count down.
Call in.
Comment.
Dance.

1/15/14 3:26pm pacific standard simon:

Thanks, Doug -- before my time. I started listening in October 2003.

1/15/14 3:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Check out The Professor's "The Audio Kitchen" archives!

1/15/14 3:28pm fred:

What's weird is that I saw Kenzo do a live show, and I never got to see People Like Us, even though I live in France

1/15/14 3:29pm Bliss:

"Dorothy, World War 2 will start after you return. You mustn't give in to despair."

1/15/14 3:31pm still b/p:

A friend of mine said the other night The Wizard of Oz was not part of her childhood, and she still isn't very familiar with it. I said she probably shouldn't watch it with me, because I'd surely jabber unstoppably with trivia, observations, questions and script simul-speakings.

1/15/14 3:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@Bliss: - in synch w/ my 2:27 (& after)

1/15/14 3:33pm Stanley:

Hi Kenzo. I'm back from the pub and in good spirits. Also can report that my avatar is behaving itself. Seems the problem was at my end.

1/15/14 3:34pm pacific standard simon:

The question is, are the good spirits in you?

1/15/14 3:37pm Kurt Gottschalk:

if you ever come back it'll still be your 500th show. so you can't come back?

1/15/14 3:38pm Stanley:

@pss - oh yes, in the form of some excellent IPA beer. Somehow the world seems a bit brighter at the moment.

1/15/14 3:40pm pacific standard simon:

Kenzo, I'm sorry you won't be here for a return to baseball simulcasting on this show.

1/15/14 3:40pm fred:

@pss: Good spirits? Great idea! I do have some unfiltered Laphroaig left, now's the time to use it

1/15/14 3:42pm still b/p:

A single Baxter Stowaway IPA last night gimme such a headache today. Why? Well, there is a skull and crossbones on 'er.

1/15/14 3:43pm Bliss:

Tadpoles are more important than Barnes and Noble.

1/15/14 3:45pm Stanley:

@still b/p - was it unfiltered and a high abv? Then I admire your bravery. Mind you the ol' skull and cossbones was a sign. For that reason I choose to avoid a beer sold here known as 'Skullsplitter'!

1/15/14 3:46pm fred:

@Bliss: You're correct. But there's something to be said for a real bookshop. I get references from Amazon and gladly pay extra to order at my fave one. It's Abbey Bookshop in Paris, google has some nice pics

1/15/14 3:46pm Bliss:

You can be proud for having contributed something real.

1/15/14 3:47pm Stanley:

Noooooooooo!!! We'll miss you Kenzo. Good luck with whatever you do, man.
Take care.

1/15/14 3:47pm Bliss:

@fred
Agreed.

1/15/14 3:47pm everywhere:

I LOVE YOU

1/15/14 3:48pm earrie:

A poem I like with a great first line. And last.

Genesis 2 by Gwendolyn MacEwan

In the Beginning was the End.

And God saw the Beginning and the End and was pleased.
And He asked the Beginning and the End to separate.

And they said No.

Then God was not pleased and threw a tantrum,
And said Why Not?

And the Beginning and End said We Cannot.

And God said What Will You Do Then?

And the beginning and the End said Just Watch Us

1/15/14 3:48pm Bliss:

I am glad there's still a few minutes left.

1/15/14 3:49pm still b/p:

Stowaway - 6.9%

I reckon almost any product of any kind named Skullsplitter should trigger a flashing yellow light.

I'm glad we're hear to watch Ken sail off to the undying lands.

1/15/14 3:50pm Doug Schulkind:

Kenzo, would you considering staying on the stream if I tripled your pay?

1/15/14 3:51pm Stanley:

Doug - quadruple his pay!!!!

1/15/14 3:51pm fred:

If anyone here has a chance to see Kenzo live, do it. It was a bit unsettling to share that experience with a bunch of people -- even if I knew most of them -- but it was worth it.

1/15/14 3:52pm Sad:

Thanks for the loopy loops, Present-Time Ken!

1/15/14 3:52pm baconfat:

i started listening to "dark side of the moon" two hours ago and nothing has made a damn lick of sense since.

1/15/14 3:53pm Bliss:

Seen a few live shows.
Nice, they were.

1/15/14 3:53pm earrie:

*x + I'll kick in some assisting.

1/15/14 3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Love, long hug with every one of you and two for baconfat

Oh, confound it, man, are you afraid of success? I'm offering you a three year contract at twenty thousand dollars a year, starting
today. Is it a deal or isn't it?

1/15/14 3:55pm northguineahills:

Wow, thanks again for all of the awesome shows Ken!

1/15/14 3:55pm Bliss:

I bet Kenzo continues to create masterpieces one way or the other.

1/15/14 3:56pm Bliss:

Thank you, Kenzo.

Be well, Kenzo. And eventually be back. On the station, and in Paris if the opportunity arises.

1/15/14 3:56pm pacific standard simon:

May I look in the box, now? I want to know if the cat is dead or alive.

1/15/14 3:56pm Rich in Washington:

Whaaa..?

1/15/14 3:57pm duke:

Thank you Kenzo

1/15/14 3:57pm listener james from westwood:

thanks once again, kenzo! thanks also for the wonderful playlist/chat software. they have revolutionized the wfmu experience.

1/15/14 3:57pm Mike Noble:

good night, sweet prince.

1/15/14 3:58pm pacific standard simon:

Thanks, K, you've been grand.

1/15/14 3:59pm Stanley:

Kenzo, our hero.

1/15/14 3:59pm earrie:

Great show. Thanks, Ken. Listening pleasures and the etc.

1/15/14 4:00pm Rich in Washington:

aw, crap. I was only just now able to tune in.
Say it ain't so, Kenzo!!

1/15/14 4:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

will say hello here in 15 minutes! thanks!

1/15/14 4:01pm listener james from westwood:

thanks also to doug for bringing kenzo to our ears!!

1/15/14 4:02pm Bliss:

@Rich
I have enjoyed your comments.

1/15/14 4:03pm Bliss:

1/15/14 4:07pm Rich in Washington:

@BLiss: Thank you. All of our comments are preserved here like insects in amber..

1/15/14 4:08pm Rich in Washington:

Kenzo: Your shows have always been incredible. I can't wait to hear what you do next. Thank you!!

1/15/14 4:08pm Jeff Golick:

Let's make this not the last ever, Kenzo. Thanks so much for the strange and beautiful sounds.

1/15/14 4:10pm Rich in Washington:

I dare say, I listen to the entire GTDR stream more than any single stream on the web. More than the main WFMU stream.

1/15/14 4:14pm fred:

Each show is the last ever. So there is no foreshadowing, no holding something for next time. All in the now. I don't think Kenzo will do another show. He does one, the time is not now, some of these are in the past, hopefully some are not

1/15/14 4:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thank you all, and now I will read everything and I will listen myself as a civilian and I will relax into other large things until those are too much and then...

1/15/14 5:05pm Bliss:

Thanks, again.

1/15/14 5:15pm fred:

Thanks, ever. Don't make me miss you too long

1/15/14 5:29pm fred:

Now that everybody's gone, I can clarify my comment about PLU's record reminding me of Kenzo: It's really about the "I'll be your mirror" loop. It's at the beginning, and near the end, but it fits so well that it could have been there throughout, and it was in a sense, the way there's often a theme sample in Kenzo's shows, if only in my mind. So I guess I listened to Vicki's record like I was listening to Kenzo's show, layering each track upon the previous ones. It's probably wrong, and I will listen to that record properly soon, but I enjoyed this mistake

4:58pm chresti:

Hello

5:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

chresti, I believe you are right

5:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Everything we know seems to come to an end

5:06pm Stanley:

Ye Gods, I've just met myself in the past

5:07pm listener james from westwood:

Hello again, all past present and future selves!

5:07pm fred:

Hello Kenzo and time-shifters past, present and future

5:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

5:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Stanley, go back

5:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

james with the selves elves

5:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

United Michael

5:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

Again, everything we know seems to come to an end, again

5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'll never forget any of you

5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Do you ever make promises about your future self and believe it's true? Or when you don't believe it's true?

5:21pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

This time has been really special

5:22pm listener james from westwood:

Long-dead Zen-head!

5:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oh so's everyone here

5:25pm chresti:

5:30pm Carmichael:

I'm not here yet. In a meeting.

5:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Carmichael, transcribe your meeting here.

5:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Granny Tuna's avatar is pretty close to this Cranberries beat.

5:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

When the stars and stripes and snakes and ladders align, the Simplicity gal tunes into the last beat ever

5:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

5:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Here's someone who can help you!

5:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

5:52pm chresti:

I'm lying low, in the dark, lest I get overheated, until the chill pill takes effect..

5:54pm chresti:

I'm envisioning a stars and snakes pattern @Granny

5:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

chresti: let the stars and snakes flow gently and gracefully in the darkness, leaving a soft, cooling breeze in their wake

6:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Do you think your history matters?

6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

How much before you are satisfied?

6:05pm chresti:

The stars and snakes are on a flag, that's tied to a ladder, flapping, very cooling

6:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Who's going to answer the call?

6:05pm Carmichael:

Now I'm here.

6:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Help me figure out what it is that I need to ask for.

6:07pm Carmichael:

Just in time. THX-1138!

6:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yeah you almost missed its endlessness

6:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Whoa Bodega Pop Live!

6:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

You cannot go back, move on. That happened, and now something else is happening, and it's where you are.

6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Things don't seem to make sense. Sometimes I see that things get left out, and they don't fit. People don't see them. Or they don't know what to do. Sometimes a little adjustment can make all the difference. I want to do the right thing. I wanna go back. I can start again. I can change. I can help. I just need to rest up for a little while.

6:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

This is your last chance. You have nowhere to go.

6:21pm Carmichael:

Awesome ...

6:27pm chresti:
