Roger Adultery is going bananas and will probably commit himself before he even MAKES it to his new house. Does anybody in NYC want any of this shit?

More stuff:

24 issues of The Source dating from 1992-1996. From hip-hops' second golden age! Great covers featuring Snoop, Scarface, etc. Remember when this magazine was GOOD? the whole bunch for $10

A Neotopia R7100 SDSL Router - brand new, never used, in box with manuals, etc. I don't even know what this is. $25

A sealed KISS 500 piece jigsaw puzzle - Rock and Roll Over logo / cartoon. Totally gay but great for any Kiss fan, god help them. Only $5 or free with something else

OK - everything is being reduced. On principle, I will NOT throw this stuff away, since it's all perfectly good (and in the case of the organ, great). Think about it - one tough day borrrowing a truck or being really daring and tying an organ to the top of your Honda and you can have an awesome Hammond that people will not believe you paid $250 - fuck it, $150 for. COME ON!!
That's right, only $150! So, the organ is a total steal. Wifey's mad, but that's, as we say, tough titties.

Everything else except the hand truck, the DVD player, and keyboard stands is HALF PRICE. Yes, the records / CDs too.

I'd just GIVE this shit away, but then, the communists have already won.

Just kidding.

Actually, the extra trip to the city in what has become known as the Duct Tape Car (130,000 miles on it already and a tour, two trips to Tennessee, and an 8 hour drive to Michigan to go), with gas prices as they are, I just can't do it (plus we really need all the scratch we can get since we're coming upon our second month with no income and the trailer cost us $1500 to rent, this is to say nothing of security deposits, etc etc etc - you know how it is)

SO - I'll be in the city TWO MORE TIMES - on the 19th (and the very early morning of the 20th) I'll be in NYC and Brooklyn. On the 28th I will be in NYC for the Simon Finn show (I can come in early if it's worth my while).

Anyone who wants to arrange a trip to Staten Island, as some have already done, are welcome to, but we'll be gone from tomorrow till the 18th, and then the 20-26th. We leave for good on the 1st.

Email me asap or post here and reserve stuff - the cello is gone and I believe the hand truck, skateboard and keyboard stands are spoken for (but if you want any of them let me know in case any of those dudes flake out)

Don't make me resort to eBay (I probably won't - chances are, my sister and her fiance, he of the nu-metal band Bump, will inherit all of this stuff. Don't let it come to that.)

Oh, there's also a snowboard I'll let go for $10.

Plus, if you buy ANYTHING, you'll have the enviable honor of actually getting to meet me in person. For FREE!

is there a way to ship the cello to sweden :-(
damn
i would really want a cello (even a trainer/teen) one.
damn.

you better move to sweden Roger

Where you moving, Rog?

hahahahaa - you don't want ME in Sweden!

anyway, the cello's gone. A nice fella named Paul bought it. Sorry!

mark - Knoxville, TN

Am I crazy or did you live in Lansing for a while there?

We were all set to move to Ypsilanti - we loved it there. Close to my best friend, good weather for me, etc etc etc, but the job fell through, and after that happened, I couldn't convince Wifey to move somewhere that wasn't warmer or cheaper.

Our only rule was that we had to live in a place that was mentioned by name in a Grateful Dead song.

We found both warmer AND cheaper in Knoxville, and, though my first choice will always be an igloo in upstate NY with only a DSL connection, a good banjo and my sexbomb of a woman to keep me sane, I've really fallen for Knoxville so far. 8 hours to Michgigan, 10 to NYC, and three major cities (four if you count Chatanooga) to keep our New York creature comforts in check. Proximity to Drive By Truckers a big plus. And Tan as Fuck, man. Tan as Fuck fucking rule.

I might want the 7"s. Can you give me some of the artists names, like 2 or 3 of the most appealing ones? I will probably be at NNCK/Simon Finn to buy them then maybe. And the Hammond organ sounds appealing but I don't have a car. Do you think it'd be carryable by hand on subway/train?

hammond organ carryable by hand...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

yeah man, no way. you'll need a car, and probably a big one. It took three of us to get it up the stairs

daniel - i'll get right back to you about the 7"s

Someone is selling a Hammond organ - the ULTIMATE FUCKING MUSICAL INSTRUMENT - for the fucking ridiculous sum of $250 in NYC, and I live in Boston, from where one would think I could make arrangements to get my ass down there but this week is totally screwed up and there's no way I can do it . . . this is really rough justice. Really really rough.

ah yeah sorry, I was thinking of a farfisa.

I love my new cello! Have already recorded guest track on friends' demo, and broken a string. Why are four cello strings $80 when six guitar strings are only $5?

Paul,
because they're less mass-produced.

Roger,
I'll take a keyboard stand! I live in Park Slope, where are you?

think i can fit the hammond in the back of a jetta??

What's your connection to Michigan Roger? I almost went to Eastern Michigan in Ypsi; but really just cause it's close to Ann Arbor and I fucked around too much in high school to get into U of M, so I'm living in Kalamazoo.

Moving from New York to Knoxville seems crazy to me, but not everybody's me.

Rog -

If you plan to come down to Atlanta for a show or something, let me know in advance. Maybe we can hook up.

Rog: Sorry I didn't get in touch with you the other day; my uncle split with the van shortly after we unloaded. Alas.

Paul - glad yr happy! Like i said, it's pretty nice if yr just starting or having fun

David - my only connection with Michigan is that I have a lot of good friends there, and wrote a weekly column for a Michigan newspaper for a while. I'd live there if I could. But I'm really excited about Knoxville! I hate NYC

John - that sounds fun. I'm sure we'll be in Atlanta soon enough, a few tours in the works, friends in Athens, a few in Florida...

John - one more question, an important (if somewhat trivial) one - have you ever heard The Hot Girls?

Why do you hate NYC?

David, you're living in Kalamazoo? I went to college there.

Yeah, which?

I went to college in K'zoo as well: WMU.

Yep, Im there now. Howd you like it?

(Sorry about the delayed responses)

If you are asking me then I love Kalamazoo. I thought WMU was a good school for me. I DJ'd at WIDR. I wrote obnoxious music criticism for the Western Herald. When it gets really fucking hot and if you have a car, then go check out Gull Lake or Gun Lake; they are gorgeous and really clean lakes. My friend, Pat, still lives there and he does the Scratch-n-Sniff label, which just put out great CD-Rs by Extreme Animals and Gang Wizard. Flipside is gone though. That was a wonderful record store. Grand Rapids now seems to have more going on. It was the other way around when I was in college.
