Soooo my local AM guy just took a caller who had a friend who went. According to his friend's claims (as he related, and I think I caught most of it):
1) there was no announcing for at bats
2) there was music
3) there was National Anthem (but nothing else, Take me out 7th inning stretch, races, antics)
4) there were some season-ticket holder fans there (in the right field and could be heard singing the National Anthem and cheering, but barely heard and only around 100.)
5) one gate was open and one vendor (into that right-field area that had fence or something around it)
6) there was lots of press there (and he thinks that's why one concession open)
Not verified- but the caller seemed legit and told some other stories (going to a White Sox game and staying during a 4hour rainout for resume play with only 50+ still there and described the experience as being "like a softball game" and "surreal" being able to hear players talking to each other and like "playing in a church league" cause nobody there except players.

I saw some photo and there were a few fans trying to watch the O's and the gate attendees would not let them in.

I'm looking for a good, reliable DVD rewinder.  I keep having to pay a fee when I take my rental DVDs back and they aren't rewound. 

That sounds like a growth business.

It is an interesting extra bit of info. Also, we replace all our cells in our body every 7 years, but retain all our memories for life.

We don't replace nerve cells, muscle cells, or egg cells.

EMBRACE THE DRAMA!

It's like having a free show that doesn't violate the noncompete.

I can't see or hear "Vegas" now without Bill Walton's rant where he took umbrage to the slang term for Las Vegas. "You don't call Los Angeles "Angeles," do you?"

I do call Los Banos, CA  "the Bano".

I need to make a soundcloud account so I can comment on the soundcloud stream in the areas when the guest says something interesting.

   I find myself reading about baseball more than watching it.

I might have already posted this here:
"His interest lies not in how fast a given pitch travels, but how fast it appears to a hitter â€" a factor that hinges upon not just its speed, but its placement in the strike zone and the spot in the sequence in which it is thrown â€" and how many milliseconds it can shave off the time a hitter has to react to it. "

I'll second the getting burned out on the paranormal shows. Most of the paranormal shows feature guests which generally say the same things over and over again. There usually nothing new added to the conversation.

It's amazing Art was able to keep that subject afloat for so long.

It's weird.  These messages keep popping up, and then the poster pulls them down, almost like he thought better of it.

I think nobody regrets the things they didn't say on the Falkie thread.

Seems like a good time to invoke the spirit of Hal McRae and the KC Royals

Someone should make an app to make Internet casting sound like AM with crackles and fade-outs for us nostalgic folks.  Turn the crackles and fade-outs up please.

You could try playing this at the same time as AB, at a lower volume.

Seems like everyone has a tip cup at their cash register these days.

If you go to a coffee shop and get plain coffee, do you tip?
Some coffee shops just hand you a cup and they have prefilled thermoses.

In some shops, the coffee person pours the coffee for you. I would pour the coffee myself but that worker is in the way.

I feel like that guy on Seinfeld asking this.

The glare from the high gloss screen smeared with smudges is most excellent, at hiding the Fisher-Price interface. 

I counterpunch with Dutch painter Piet Mondrian.

Am I the only Windows 8.1 fan here? Admittedly 8 was hard to swallow at first, but 8.1 is great on the newest hardware.

I love it. The search and the touchscreen monitor experience are excellent.

IMHO Prometheus was a jumbled mess but at least entertaining in some ways, whereas Interstellar was just a wholly unpleasant experience.

The Prometheus Art Book is tremendous. Flip through starts at 1:17, absolutely worth watching.

there will be another speed bump. there always is.

This is going to give me an ulcer.

I am still puzzled why those who have gone to the Internet have not done so live, there is magic in live content, anyway to quote a CNN show "Somebody's gotta do it" and it might as well be me. Mark my words, there will be many to follow.

If it's not live, I just put off listening to it for a long time and maybe even never listen to it.  Live radio is the best.

Leesburg is not far from Florida.

The rare time weird news happens somewhere that is not Florida.

" Georgia man wounds mother-in-law after bullet ricochets off armadillo

That might be a problem.  Art is expecting to take over the smartphone streaming market by storm, but that means his audience will be using them to call him.

Shhh don't discourage him.

I was more interested in the octopus taking photographs.

Jeez I'd really be up for a good show tonite.  But just can't get into "Ghosts & Mold".  Looks like it's an encore presentation of "Bio-Dome" for me instead.

There are some sci-fi stories with psychic mold communicating by telepathy. Is it that exciting or something more mundane?

I am looking for this cable in the picture. I don't know what it is called-one end is a 3.5mm jack and the second half is two bare wires for the am antenna input of a stereo receiver.

Can I just take a normal male/male cable and cut off one end with some wire cutters?

Counter JADE HELM operation underway, apparently. Hope nothing bad happens to anyone by anyone who gets carried-away, in the military or in the civilian population.

There were 8 police cars, police lights spinning, operating a non DUI checkpoint near my house last night.
The police records stated this incident was "assisting other organization".

I think we are forgetting about the vast and powerful licensing empire Art Bell will have to generate income as well.

Is the party back on?

"The live show will be free, but because we are doing it ourselves we will be depending on people buying membership for 5 bucks a Month which gives you the Podcast and Wormhole and so forth. If they don't we won't get very far because we pay music, Bandwidth, Producer Etc."

From Art's Facebook page.


$5 per month, what a great deal. I'm hoping I am customer 00001.

I just heard a guest try to fill up/eat time.

I think Steve Quayle has no idea what happened in the Bosnian War.

So what is Quayle saying about Diablo 3?

Quote from: zeebo on April 07, 2015, 12:39:11 AM
May I suggest we bring the discussion back from politics to more important things like the guest's knowledge of underground alien bases?

I think we long ago established that talking about the show is more enjoyable than the show.
