A bit off topic but very interesting (to me anyway). I take it you trade? If so we have so much in common

I'm on the case

I agree totally about the packaging. If someones gone to all the trouble to reproduce 'The Object' for profitable gain then they're likely to spend some time on the packaging - to the point of distressing it accordingly. $2ks' a lot of money for a brick However it's not a lot for the real thing and of course the potential to take a cast from it (and profit accordingly). This is from Dave Lewis' 'Tight But Loose files : Celebration II' I'm sure you've all read it but for those who haven't:

A bit of a risk buying a seald one IMO. Would you ever open it? And if you did what if you found it wasn't 'The Object' at all BUT it was a brick!!! Just under $2k at the moment. The last one I saw on ebay; not boxed and badly chipped but had the pink primer showing through on hairline scratches, went for £900. So it could turn out to be the bargain of the century. Triplet Kick. I worked out some dimensions a while ago to start a similar thing to what you are doing. I can't find them on the laptop I'm on at the moment but once I get time I'll check on my other computer and storage devices to see if I still have the measurements. I gave up with the project as it became so damn complicated to work it all. Hence the artist made 1 and cast the others from it. I wonder if the cast still exists OR could you make a cast from an original in perfect condition? $$$$$$$$

Jimmy Page, Drug Discovery News!! Nah.. can't be. Too much of a coincidence. Or is it

Certainly are my friends. I realise that their not totally applicable to this thread as it was at the Zeppelin gig BUT they still are beautiful images and very much worth sharing.

Try using switch. I've had no problems with it. SWITCH

^ Hi Chicken . I loved the The Spinning Jennys material and your own stuff. Very talented indeed. Have you tried the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham for gigs? They often put unknown bands on as support/warm up for the main acts. Stoic Revolutions - Joshua Redman

Hi Walter Yeah I like JBT but I've neglected them for a while! Thanks for the reminder. I've never seen them live although I've just missed seeing them several times. Their doing some dates in the UK in September so I might catch them then.

And without the moustache.

Your welcome. Right, who's for a nice 'big' glass of cold white wine?

Take Five - Dave Brubeck

Hi valleygirl Pull up a chair. Now what you drinking? A glass of Rhymney Dark?

Anyone up for a Desperado? 1/2 pint beer 1/4 pint tequila 1/4 pint limeade Half fill a pint glass with beer. Add the tequila, then top off with limeade, and serve.

Comfortably Numb - Tenth Planet

Top man I'm letting mine grow again. I was 'forced' to have it cut for the Zep concert! Fuck knows why, it was a rock concert after all. I was told I was starting to look like Frank of Shameless. Do you get 'Shameless' in the States? If not try this link Shameless. I think you'll like it.

Thanks for the offer. I've had a little glass of vodka instead (real time) and a smoke. I agree with a lot of what your saying but it makes for intersting reading. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion but the fighting and bickering does go on a bit. After all were all here for the same reason and their's so much to be learnt from other board members if people would only stop, listen and think! As far as going back to your chair - DONT. The board need's people like yourself and 'the old gaurd' for it to function like it should do, and without the "elistist know-it-alls" we have nothing. Anyway, did you get your hair cut? :'(

Morning my friend. I'll have a large brandy if their's one going.
