How can I get my hands on a copy of this??? The question is, why would you _want_ a copy that's only 74 minutes and probably crap quality (and $25!) when you can get a crystal clean tape of the entire show and all the encores, from the feg "uncle bobby does bobby z" tape tree? for FREE? stand by for details. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Sep 96 08:27:00 -0800 From: Russ Reynolds Subject: CLICKOT >>although inches from her column, i started falling out > >I'm not even touching the bottle; how can I be getting enebertated?

On the cliquot contriversey--wasnt the classic shallow champaige glass originally molded on Diane de Pointers tit. So, I believe , runs the legend. Its a perfect round a-cup. And theres a famous prtrait of her\ in some famous european museum(yeah, yeah, my memory aint what it used to be--I cant even remember which rennaissance Frog prince she was mistress of) in which she is depicted as the goddess Diane in amazon(that is ,one tit out) garb. Its quite beautiful. Could he mean that, instaed of a breast pocket? But i dont think theres a fish in the portrait....

I think a good idea would be to meet beforehand and plan the whole thing out. Maybe over a couple of pints? So far I've gotten bites from Russ and Glen, anybody else inner'sted? -tc ************************************* * Tom Clark "Once during Prohibition * Apple Computer, Inc.

No. You'll also get this story about Marie Antoinette and the Venus de Milo, by the way, and those aren't true either. The most reliable story I've seen says the cups were more conveniently poured into than the flutes - I'll have a source for you when my books get unpacked, should you want it. And it's a terrible way to drink champagne! The surface area is so large compared to the flutes (or almost any other wineglass) that the bubbles quickly fizz away. If anyone hands you one of these glasses you should tell them to go to Hell. Tracy "I propose ..."

First, get a recording people will want. this is called the "seed" and is hopefully on DAT. (it may be the person who _has_ the tape is called the seed... not sure.) Secondly, solicit people to be part of the tree. Post in at least one public place (eg fegmaniax) and ask people: Their geographics. How many copies they're willing to make. How hi-fi their audio stuff is, and what format (dat/analog). (you'll place people on the tree according to their answers to these questions- especially the last two). Then it's just a matter of collecting all the responses (say, in a mail folder or one big file) and after the tree is closed (you might want to post again and let everyone know the window of opportunity is closing) you "grow" the tree. simply arrange people like this, according to equipment and how generous they are about dubbing.... DAT to DAT copiers ("branches" or "parents") on top. DAT to analog copiers next (these can be hard to come by. be nice to them) Analog to analog copiers (choose people with nice decks) Analog "leaves" on the bottom. these people deal only with their "branches" and don't make copies for anyone. they are the ones who are too busy to dub or don't have the best equipment. Here's an example. gearhead@tape.bit.com (DAT to DAT branch) dathead1 (dat-ana branch) dathead2 (dat leaf) analogguy1 (analog-analog branch) analogleaf1 analogleaf2 analogguy2 (analog leaf) Here, the seed gives a DAT copy to gearhead, who makes copies for dathead 1 and 2, and dathead1 gives copies on cassette to analogguys 1 and 2, whereupon analogguy1 makes copies for analogleaves. dathead2, analogguy2, and the analog leaves deal only with the person who is giving them the tape. They compensate with a trade of tapes (blank or filled) or provide just enough money (well, approximately) to cover tapes and postage. Terry (Terrence?) has offered to create the tree for Unhatched Crablings, so go ahead and email him at . I won't have the seed for that ready for about a week, but that will give him time to collect information from interested parties. Tell him what audio equipment you have and how many copies you're willing to make. Someone else offered to tree the Dylan Covers Gig but I'm not sure who-- would that kind soul please stand up? I think there's a program in the Dead community that sort of automates the treeing process, but I always do it by hand. the program is an ibm one i think and is on ftp://gdead.berkeley.edu. Volunteers should feel free to contact me if this description is confusing and poorly written. When i first joined this list in late '93 I was soon given the opportunity of participating in a tree seeded by Gene and organized by Thomas- I'm happy for the chance to give something back! thanks guys! bayard ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Sep 1996 18:14:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Bayard Subject: Re: Robyn Bob & Albert Tree > > I confess to being VERY into the tape thing!! > I want to thank Bayard for his efforts. (Please > continue to make those goodies in your collection > available..!) I would really like to help with tree > organizing/dubbing, but don't possess a DAT. oh, it must be Hal who volunteered! you don't need a DAT. Just arrange the tree like this: Bayard Hal whoever hal wnats to trade with DATperson DATperson DATtoAnalogperson ANA-ANA person leaf leaf leaf etc. and i will provide DATs to the dat people and a 1st-gen analog to you. so John, (crackity) please collaborate with hal on this, everyone else email hal with your details on where you re and what you can do.

I will, right after I drink the champagne. Actually, when I proposed to my wife 10 years ago at Caesars Las Vegas I had this grand idea that I was going to hide the ring at the bottom of the champagne flute. Wouldn't you know, Caesars only had the shallow champagne glasses, which took a lot of the drama out of it (one tilt of the glass and she was staring right at the ring). At least she didn't tell me to go to hell. -russ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Sep 96 18:46:34 From: spine@iastate.edu (James Francis) Subject: clickot on song #4 > > And for the last time, does ANYONE besides me hear Robyn (or someone" saying > > "Clickot!" twice in the studio chatter at the end of "Song No. 4"?!?!? yes! absolutely! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The End of this Fegmaniax Digest. *sob* .
