I am thanksful to steve f for the optimistic vision of the guitar-sound situation. Steve i never play loud, i dont even like chords, so as far as loudness, i wouldnt worry about me being the blow-up-the-amp factor. I play like 1 note at a time. I like that note to be the one i wanted, so i think i wont play a chord. Maybe 2 notes at a time occasionally, but i like 1 note. If i am awake. I dont know about the cap=itan, he sounds like he might not come up from philly cuz the timing is bad. But that could be good or bad. I think Tara and I will be coming early saturday afternoon due to timing issues of timewarp wormhole availability, plus the Hello dog must be dropped at his doggie grandparents for a sitting. I am in Michigan right now and I just ate a big batch of potato skins with cheese, wow, it makes my brain crazy with sleep effect!!!!!!

We'll see Keelyhair, no promises. I have a shitty amp that is not worthy of anything because it crackles and pops whenever it feels like it. It used to Rule Faces but now-a-days it is more of a headache than anything. I dont know what the factors for byzantium are, but the guitar could come and maybe get played if im not too wasted or embarrassed by pretending to play it. I could focus on the whole background noise thing which is kind of my only interest in music anyway, im not a leader kind of guy, just a noisemaker when impulse grabs me. But i know you are trying to recruit folks, so i dont want to be a negative nancy. The technological aspect though is important, i have a guitar and cables and no reliable amp. It would be "mad suckies" if i were to plug in during the show, only to grace your excellence with the sound of a giant humming annoyance. Are you gonna play the saxamoaphone? Its too bad royc9 cant come back for this one (he was just in town for BQ weddign) because royce played piano for like 15 years and is pretty good at drums too but he lives in ashevegas so sucks for him!

Oh and another thing, I dont know if Nic can come to Chuck;s Fram, but if not or otherwise, I think a really big sweetness would be some kind of playing of The Tunnel, even if you need to figure out a way to get that banjo sweetness involved, maybe someone can imitate it on the key-bard? Its just a suggestion though. And maybe something from the super secret ending to banjo jones could be played, althoguh that one migth not be possible due to responsibilties fallling on the shoulders of certain people if 'you dig'.
We've gotta get back to that album one of these days.

Hi Brahs!
I cant decide if i should say anythign about byzantine empire or not.
I tend to be mad incomprehensible by a certain point. I didnt even make sense one time!
Looks like a great schedule. Joe or Josh is there some kind of plan to keep your planet 22 band on schedule for staying up all night? Maybe somethink like fat red bulls or something? What about Caleb, is he being up to date on whatever set you are planning for the show? I can deliver a cd to he and kordish if you need any help with this prodding factor. He is a sick guitarist when he is prepped to play. Just let me know if i can be of help, I am mad busyiest right now but i like your band very much, it is one of my highlights of my life.

Bwahahahaa that must be my Birthday Doppelganger posting. I am so sorry for your loss. Speaking of lost and found, that custie beotch (playWrecker) stole my flashlight right out of Chuck's hand!!
We were joking about making tee-shirts that say "I lost my cellphone at Chucks Farm". Maybe i will really do this.

Wow, you couldnt pick a worse day for this....i live in Philly and am supposed to be at/assist with a Halloween shindig that evening...in Philly. Seems problematic at best...Incidentally, who is "guy with trashbag and stick"? Call me and we can talk, or email at unoclay@hotmail.com. I really want to help but wonder if any other day/time might be useful to offer my services, including this coming weekend

I said to jack ray, "if there was a word for 'Typically legendary', i would use it to describe the performances and experience of Chuck's 2006".
I swear, every single time i leave CF, i drive home with this sensation of grandure (sp) and fulfillment. A large part of this sensation results from the fact that our friends are so dedicated and successful at their chosen artforms.
Top moments/images from my book of experiences:
--Jack Ray's face as he leered over the Caleher/Vortman painting...through 5? hours of continuous playing, Jack's face was the omnipresent visual factor. His cheeks and eyes looked really ominous, deadly, thanks to the effect of shadows cast from Vort/Caleher's spotlight.
--Steve Faubel delivering the goods. Around 10 PM, i suddenly began to get concerned over the fact that nobody knew if Kordish or Eli were going to show up for the Planet set, this meaning that p22 had no keyboard player (a major factor of their best psychadelic imprint). A few names of potential 'fill-ins' got tossed around, but Steve F was the one to show up in a tux (straight from NYC?) and then sit down, get adjusted, and then begin banging out the jams for both p22 and tDS. Truly an MVP in my view of things.
--Scott and Kelly surprising me with their attendence. I have a swiss-chese memory, meaning that although S/K said they would be onhand, I totally spaced this detail, and was shocked and rocked when I turned around to see Kelly in the audience. So far as I know, you guys won the contest. Sorry James, Portland is probably a hair further than the Bay area, though you put in a good showing...
--The dancing gorilla in the audience during planet 22. This kind of thing seems to have happened to me before. I am sorry that I didnt know exactly how to react. I seriously think it might have been the same Gorilla from unobop 4. Nobody has identified who was operating the gorilla at this point. Needless to say, I was f***ing amazed.
--Caleb's Sith Hoodie: for some reason, i kept fixating on the fact that Caleb looked like a sith throughout the show. Perhaps you had to have noticed it to know what I am talking about.
--Vortman and Calleheere painting festival: this was really great. Vort and Chris took turns/simultaniously painted a single large canvas for several hours. The resulting work(s) were excellent, and their styles worked well together...destruction, creation, modification, wipe, destruction, addition....the biggest problem might have been an inevitable 'muddying' of the colors toward the 3 hour mark (probably about 15 layers of paint by this point, with no time for drying), but I distinctly recall thinking, somewhere around the 2 hour mark, "that one is pretty great right there". Incidentally, Jack Ray remarked that he loved the painting too, especially since although he stood 1 foot away from it throughout the creation process, he never once saw what it looked like due to the fact that it was in front of him. He said it made him wonder about it quite a lot during the show(s).
--a poop hole with a real toilet seat this year. Imagine that, an outhouse with a seat. Excellent work to whoever designed this thing.
--a real play was put on. Good effort folks. "Hey we can take my Volvo"
--Borderless Puzzle playing Harry Hood. Although its always weird to hear a Phish cover, i think it was well rendered, well received by the crowd, and i think it takes guts to cover phish.
--The attempted robbery of Big Spanky: Around 1 AM, Vortman needed more whiskey from the camp. Krusty was going to fetch it, and needed a receptacle. I donated BS to the cause,whiich promptly caused me no end of nervous consternation. My mug in the hands of Krusty and Vortman, "this is not good" I kept thinking. Then I make the mistake of allowing it to happen a second time, at which point Vortman disappears for an hour, wandering the camp with my treasured friend. I tell you what, it took a lot of willpower to calm myself down. Luckily I remembered to look at the sun and breathe deeply. Eventually, Vort and BS returned to my campsite, at which time i fell on the ground and stared at the sky to celebrate.
--Kelly had Joe's camera the whole time. CHowder managed to give Joe's expensive vid camera to Kelly (?), who then went to the car and passed out. Then the rest of us mounted a search party to locate the missing camera for 2 hours. Luckily Kelly returned to life around 5 AM and told us where it was. Also notable is the way Kelly looked me right in the eye and confessed that she couldnt remember a thing that had happened since about 1 AM, super hilarious
--The ultra-solid bass playing of Brian from tDS. I think i really truly appreciated his dexterity during this show, although every member of their crew is extremely talented at their respective instruments.
--thanks to Joe and Vort and all others for the Degicank fall Sampler. Bear is Driving is a great addition for sure. They are putting out a new album in the near future and I think are playing a show in WP this Sunday evening.
--Tara permitting me to use her (relatively) new car to take 6 giant bags of disgusting recycleables to the local recyling site. This was huge, and a major big thank you is in order.
thanks so much to everyone for the good work. Typically legendary.

at chucks farm. I vote for music in mass quantities. Also i vote that you guys all heckle Royce for missing the show in July and that he needs to stay up late enough!!
Also i vote for the whole show to = "maximum heady" as was the case at the July incident. I really liked the collaborations between tDS members and Planet (and even the Tangents). That part was really "maxi".
I am also excited to see the case with planet first, daily 2nd. I think that this might equal greatness. Maybe both bands should consider getting a 'special guest' section of their respective sets arranged for a member(s) of the other crew to join in. However, the fact that Planet usually has 81 people on stage might make it complicated.
Maybe the sith cat can make it happen, i will ask

i thought the sound was fine, but not having played in the band, i cannot offer the same insights that Steve is posting. My comment is, "good job", a discussion is worthwhile in any situation"

I think the sound was pretty good this year (despite any pre-show drama) and would give my thanks to the people that worked so hard to make it happen.
