["Xenu's Sister" Subject: Update on my Update (Re: 2nd wave of Find me orders...come to me Ok, I just got home from the movies and I'm at 47 paid-for CDs. I just wrote Happy in a panic and said PLEASE send another box right away! (I had told her I was going to need another box, maybe she didn't believe me). I've still got a long list of ectophiles who expressed interest who haven't paid yet, plus people who have sent checks and money orders which are winding their way through the mails to Happy. Those 47 do not include them, which might seem unfair, but payments through PayPal means the money is in Happy's hands *now*, not days from now (or weeks, in the case of checks). I had to give PayPal'ers priority. I also asked her for a tracking number for the box that's on its way. I'll keep you informed.

A supplier, located in The Netherlands, of CDs, DVDs and vinyl in every genre to music retailers all over the world, including rare and hard-to-find stuff.

The before- and after-the-show shots are presented in higher resolution - you can make prints from them directly if you like. I hope all people agree with this kind of publication, even woj :-) http://hft.fh-pforzheim.de/ectofest_2007/ Henning ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:38:49 -0500 From: kerrywhite@webtv.net (kerry white) Subject: 2 Late bits of the Lily Pad Hi, When I boarded the plane in Philly to Boston there was a couple in first class who saw my HR shirt and yelled, "Happy Rhodes!" and said they were going to the show too. Nowhere around when I got off the plane and not at the food thing. They were in the last row - she had Russet red hair that had some volume to it. Many of the non-Vickie "heckles" were from a blond man whose name I never caught - an off line guest of Dan Stark, I think. Among other things he had his glow stick lit during the song before the last and was hiding it whenever HR looked out and one time when she looked down he waved it frantically as if he was at a *big* rock concert and then hid it again when she looked up. This was the cause of the unexplained laughter that HR and the first 4 or 5 rows didn't get. bye, me KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!!

An old IE 6 does well here. Are the pics perhaps too big? - the other 3 galleries are resampled to a height of +-800 pixels while the Ectophiles gallery is in generic camera resolution, up to 3872 x 2592 pixels if uncropped. Perhaps you can download the files and open them with another program?

The CDs came just a few minutes ago. The nearest post office is closed so they might not get mailed until the morning. I could go to the main post office but this is going to take me a while. The mailers that Happy included are flat and need to be folded, assembled and taped shut, so I think that's going to take me a couple of hours. She sent 60 CDs instead of 50 though, so I can handle a few more orders, if they're paid by PayPal and I'm forwarded the receipt. First come first served in the next few hours gets their CDs mailed along with the rest of the 2nd wavers (until I reach 60, that is). Two of them are spoken for, so I have 8 extra. If I've written you saying I didn't think you'd get a CD from this first batch, you will, so you don't need to write me again. Yours are the ones that are spoken for.

Re: I've received the shipment from Happy! They're all packaged up, labeled and in sacks ready to go to the post office, but it's too late to go downtown now. The main Post Office is 24 hrs but it's in a dodgy area (right near the Grayhound bus terminal, if that tells you anything) and I'd have to walk a ways since the closest busses have stopped running. They will go out tomorrow though. I have 5 left! I'll check my email before I go to the PO tomorrow. Vickie - --- Xenu's Sister wrote: > The CDs came just a few minutes ago.
