OMG! I thought they were gone forever but I found them. First of all I apologize for my cheap ass camera, but there are some really good shots (OK JUST A FEW THE ONES OF BOB) and at least I shot everybody I could so there is some sort of documentation of what happened in the mountains on that weekend not so long ago. I included them all warts, moles, sore holes etc. just so we could have them. Delene who apparently knew SOMEBODY had a front row seat and had a much better camera got amazing shots are the Vol 3 set. Meanwhile I was stuck in the peanut gallery amongst some very beautiful women (NO LESS), so I did the best I could between MARGARITAS (oH thaTs WhAt It wAs!) You can see them on my FACEBOOK thingy if you are a inner circle person or not. I am simply Michael Paz and should recognize me mug if you look for me on the DREADED Facebook thingy. I have 3 volumes so far with one to follow. Vol 3 foto credit goes to Delene who downloaded her stuff on my puter. Some of her fotos I think were videos so they are askew cause I could not edit them. When I have a bit more time I will try and sort out the madness. Until then enjoy all you Joni Monsters and stay tuned for PAZFEST 2010 (the ten year anniversary) and the introduction of the Mutts of the Planet to the City of New Orleans (that is just a plain frightening concept). Already the plans are in the making and trying to decide on weekends. Love you guys and wish I was back in somebody's garden.

Actually, I think the concept of reality TV is quite good: to use real people in unusual situations, and see how they react and what they can learn. (As long as they willingly participate and you're not exploiting them.) I think it can give the viewers a lot of psychological insight, question their prejudices, and will often even give the participants a lot of good insight into themselves and their behaviour (e.g. Survivor, or Supernanny, or Wife Swap). What has made many of those programmes so cheap and vulgar, i.m.o., is the approach from the programme makers. Instead of taking interesting participants, they often select superficial exhibitionists, illiterate wannabe attention seekers, and present them with predictable challenges such as "Can you stay faithful to your partner if we team you up with a naked supermodel?" Anything intellectual or cultural is shunned, although I think that would make for the best reality TV! But apparently it's always the lowest common denominator that makes most money...

The equivalent guilty pleasure for me is reality T.V. "Survivor" "Amazing Race" "Project Runway" "Top Chef" and other shows. My friends laugh at me for watching, I have fantasies about "Overhaulin'" or "Pimp my Ride" coming to take my car away and bring me back a masterpiece. My friends also think it's a waste of time but when "The Colony" started on Discovery channel they were captivated right along side me and now they're not so quick to make fun of me. I remember, as a child, lounging on the sitting room floor on Sunday after church listening to "The Clitheroe Kid." Radio drama at it's cheesiest but riveting none-the-less. So, my point being that your credibility with me is still intact. love, Cassy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:46:46 EDT From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: I FOUND THEM!!!

That old devil time. Speaking of favorite PS songs, there is so much good stuff on his latest "Surprise" that it hasn't left my changer for over a year. "Sonic landscapes" by Brian Eno and Paul's composition conspire to create some fresh things. Great songs, many dedicated to the importance of the separation of church and state, referencing religious wars. No particular religion is spared scrutiny, either. Really good stuff, and sadly totally under the radar. "Wartime Prayers" should have been performed at last year's Grammys with a choir and considered for Song of the Year.

I thought it was a joke at first, but it isn't. He is donating all of the revenue to providing food for kids, so you have to admire that and I might buy the album for that reason alone. I agree, it's pretty cheesy though, but in a fun sort of way. Cheesy fun. I've never been a huge Dylan fan but lately I've been listening to him a lot and he is growing on me.

When it comes to hearing the classics, I'll stick to Nat King Cole and the like. I do admire his making a charity effort out of him so I won't diss it in any way - I'm sure he knows that he has legions of folks that will get it and thus raise a good sum for hungry kids. Good on him as far as I'm concerned.

You may be right, Lieve. Personally I have a really hard time with some of the so-called 'reality' TV shows. Survivor and Big Brother in particular. (The few episodes I have seen of 'The Bachelor' - well don't get me started. I can't imagine trying to choose a life-mate via a television show. And Wife Swap? Boggles the mind that anybody would agree to those idiotic arrangements.) Being in the UK, I don't know how familiar you are with these. My partner Travis watches them both and loves them. But if I had kids I don't think I would want them to watch Survivor or Big Brother. To me it seems they would learn that being deceitful, two-faced, manipulative and greedy gets rewards. To me, those 2 programs in particular seem designed to bring out the worst in human nature. Do we really need that??? Like I said, Travis watches these shows and I'm not sitting in judgment on anybody that does. I can see the 'guilty pleasure' aspect of it. I was raised on 'As The World Turns', a TV serial (or soap opera, as they were called) that my mother watched every week day. At one point in my adult life, I was hooked on 'All My Children' and would tape it so I could watch it when I got home from work. This was before the days of TiVo. I'm not sure what finally broke the addiction, but after awhile (maybe it was Travis coming into my life), I lost interest. I didn't even see the Daytime Emmys the night Susan Lucci finally won!
