Where's the Dude

[Big Poppa]

Steverino......who pissed you off? Where you been hiding? no posts for too many days....thye popster misses your contributions.....

 

[bovinehost]

Um....you okay, Biff?

He's around. I get threatening emails on a regular basis. I'm trying to convince him to go to Cinci to see the Psychodots....but I believe he's scheduled to go visit the Evil Rodent Empire (Disney something) with his GF and one or more of her kids.

 

[Big Poppa]

no posts since last week...I know hes lurking

 

[SteveB]

He's probably bogged down in the implementation details of his "school of bass".

(i.e. he's doing some real work! yecch!)

 

[bovinehost]

I just had phone contact....IT'S ALIVE and it's headed this way.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Still kickin BP just busy as a poopstick with his tail on fire...here's the brief outline:

A) Still in heavy setup work for School of Bass and had a huge print media deadline to get past last week at the same time my graphics guy's Mac took a dump which I had to advance him money to get repaired so I could make ad deadline....problem solved by throwing money at it. Many other things going on with SOB website design, setting up dba's, bank accounts, artist relations, blah, blah, blah.

B) Still in physical therapy and traction twice a week at hospital for my radial nerve palsy on left arm. Two more weeks and it's working....now 75% recovered.

C) Dude Jr, was unemployed and homeless again in SoCal for a bit there. Problem solved by throwing more money at it. (plus started new job again yesterday)

D) Both folks have been down with more physical problems which I've been dealing with by calling in specialists etc....more and more time being devoted to their care and well being...problem in the works of being fixed by calling in help that was referred to me a few months ago by Psychoward. (thanks Chuck!) Pop's 84th B-Day is today and Karen's in the kitchen baking him a cake and lamb chops defrosting.

E) Dealing with some issues with Karen's 15 year old son and juggling dual households on opposite ends of town.

F) Trying to figure out way to ship an amp over to a bass playing soldier over in Iraq that the Pitters kicked in and bought for him.

G) Dargin's got 4 more EBMM's ready to roll so I'm processing those orders.

H) Planning a one week vacation in May with Karen in Mexico followed up with a few days in Chicago to oversee my DPLE run production capped off with a trip to Cincy to catch "The Dot's" with Jack and Ben.


Other than that, it's just the usual trip out here....

Tell your Pop Happy Birthday from the Ward family for me Steve.





Man, you're busy... I got tired just from reading this... I need a nap.... well another nap...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Nahhh...just another day Chuck...notice that most problems can be solved by "throwing more money at it."

 

[Big Poppa]

It sounds like my schedule on vacation. Tuffen up light weight!

Seriously Happy Bday to pops and good on ya for being a great son.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Thanks BP...by the way...I'll be "throwing moneyatchya" as soon as Dargin gets back from lunch!

 

[maddog]

What's comin' in Mr. Dude?

Do I need to be priming my credit card?

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

What's coming in so far this week are:

Tony Moore's twin Trans Gold SR4 HH's (fretted & fretless)

Phatty's Saphire Black Sterling HH

Robert Goble's Blue Pearl Sterling HH

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

maddog...I show yours coming out of the chute on or about April 14th bro.

 

[82Daion]

When's the Dots gig?

I might try and meet you guys.

 

[Oldtoe]

May 26th, sir. Cow-like Jack can probably tell you where.

 

[maddog]

maddog...I show yours coming out of the chute on or about April 14th bro.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Steve.

 

[bovinehost]

I believe the Dots are at Southgate House?

Never been there, but that sounds like what I heard.

Come on, come all!

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Steve.

Don't hold me to that date yet as it's just a projected date but you're one of the next to come down the chute.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Seriously Happy Bday to pops and good on ya for being a great son.

Thanks Sterling...I know you know what the deal there is. It's not been an easy 3.5 years over here but I would never consider doing otherwise.

I'm Qing him up some lambchops for dinner and Karen baked him a cake and bought him some new fancy schmancy PJ's and we're forcing him to crack open one of those bottles of single malt he has stashed in the closet and we'll hoist a toast in the desert sky to Ernie.

I doubt I'll be macking down on chops and swilling scotch with a full set of teeth at 84.

Notice I haven't asked about mine once....
