Not true, I think he will take callers

Art

Guys,

I was going to post here but Jazz beat me to it really fast. Listening to Gab Cast.

Art

Well, here is the thing, many love Richard and yes some hate him. However both groups will listen to confirm their passion. The fact that they tried to move my friend right on top of my opening day with a show that by that time would be old news is simply pathetic.

Art

Let me just say you will have plenty to talk about.

Art

Watch for big news Tomorrow.

Art

4:35 now, still waiting.

Art

Hi there everybody, I am writing this while waiting for my Doctor's appointment which was 3:20, it is now 3:50 with no sign of my name being called, we really should be allowed to charge them for our valuable time, being Retired I have lots of that.

Thank you all for the good wishes about Yetti, he was my very close friend and love for 23 Years, yes a very long life but it really hurt.

Art

I sure am tired of waiting for July 20th, I really do need a Time Machine.

Art

I had NOTHING to do with Dave getting his job, I believe he was picked by Kraig Kitchen who is the one who asked me to say "he gets it"

Art

Yes, Jaz has done it again, what a amazing talent that makes me wonder how I will ever live up to it.

Art

Man I missed almost all of Bell Gabb tonite, when does the replay go up? I walk about a mile every night just to try and keep in semi shape and it's hot out there.

Art

This Forum is slipping and going to a sad place indeed if my Dinner last night deserves a page or two, actually its a bit creepy.

I can on request provide details on my morning movements.

On a serious subject I hate Red Eyes even more then Lima Beans which don't belong on The Planet in any form at all, a final solution should be formed for the foul green things.

Art

I think Jaz really out did himself with this latest trailer.

Things are going well and I sure did enjoy the Gabb Cast last night.

Art

Ok, here is a report, of course I did not post a message till mid day or so but thus far about 575 have joined for the Podcast, not bad for the first day! Of course as we near July 20th we hope that number will grow and I am sure it will. I want to thank those of you who have put up your five bucks or better.

The deal is this, nobody knows what will happen July 20th, and I mean nobody. Of course the Blitz will help a great deal. Again if we start small it's fine by me. We will also have commercial content as you know as well as a couple of suprise things that you guy's are gonna love which I just can't spill the beans on.

We are hoping against hope that we can at least make this a break even or better operation. As long as the music license people don't hit us with a hammer at the end of the Year we should be ok. At least at this point it looks like we will meet our bandwidth costs.

We have truly put our blood and guts as well as our own money into this venture so knock on wood for us. Again I want to thank the whole bunch of you who have given so much support.

Art

Ok everybody, we are now one Month and counting. Pre registration for Midnight in the Desert is open!! It will mean you can Download shows and use the Wormhole to send me messages during the show.

The live show is free but we are depending on you all to make this possible. Please go here now...

Iam thinking of any radio related board or really any board anyplace, I hope to get some in England and Australia, I am going to do a Guest shot in Ireland on the 19th in the darn Morning, hard because I am training myself to be up late.

Art

They are so very good that those that tell folk's how to listen should be used by all in the Blitz starting
On July 4th.

Art

Thank you all for the nice Birthday wishes! As far as Falkie is concerned I was mostly just concerned for him, I have no ill will to anybody, wait....almost.

Remember it only takes one White Crow to prove there are Davebots.

I have just been sitting around today trying to figure out how I made it to 70. When I was 18 I thought I would be Dead by 30. Now I know thanks to KS3484 I will live long and prosper, he just has said it so many times that I believe it myself.


Oh, and just how did NASA manage to lose the film of the Moon landing?

Don't get me wrong, I do not care, Falkie thinks I am all washed up...well at least I am washed. After watching his latest video I am more concerned for him then upset by it. I hope he is ok.

Art

I am just so disappointed at Falkie, he seems to have gone off the deeper end. I saw his
Latest video (I think) and it looks like a new set of glasses to me which may explain the content.

He also seems convinced that the show starts in three days, boy is he going to be upset. I think a Guest spot with Dave would fit right in.

Art gets nervous before a show.  A Big show is coming 7/20.  This is Art being Big Nervous.  It is normal.  Once that first word is spoken on the first Midnight in the Desert, all will be copacetic.

Oh man, you are right about that. It's killing me. The wait is torture, I have always had panic attacks before shows and this is the Momma of them all, it's the wait and the big buildup that's killing me. Only good thing, it goes away when I fall into what I do, also it is giving me time to perfect the Studio. I just got  a London phone number.

Will you derive any income or benefit financially from the affiliates? Since affiliates are the "big business" so to speak, perhaps they should foot the bill somehow then the rest of us poor slobs can reap the benefits. In other words, can you make affiliates pay for the show? Like Coaster, I know nothing about the business, but I'm just throwing out ideas.

I really think I'm onto something here

NO, however if we get enough of them that will make our 6 minutes of commercials more valuable.

Art

It's all about the music, I don't want to get into this debate again but if shows like mine are going to make the jump to the "new media" there has to be a way to survive the cost of the music. It is in the music industry's interest to make it so, if not they shoot themselves in the foot, However History is full of examples of self inflicted financial suicide so don't rule it out.

I'm getting that queasy feeling again.

You have a queasy feeling? Try and guess how I feel. Not to worry though we will keep going one way or the other because we are not working for some big company.

Art

Well I have seen a lot of good ideas on here. As I have said again and again we are going to start with a Live FREE show. What will happen after that is anybody's guess. I have no idea if we will have few or many or wether people will order the Podcast or not. All we can really do is start and see what comes. If it becomes impossible to continue from a financial point of view then we need a plan B.

Art

Trust me we will start with and I hope keep it a free stream. However nobody, most of all me or Keith has any idea where it will go, hold on tight folk's it going to be a hell of a ride.

Ok I have a question for the group, of course we will begin with a live stream as promised BUT if it gets to big to fast we will be faced with a impossible situation perhaps very quickly, I refer to our music which I must have. There are two possible solutions both are tough. If we get past a point where about 70,000 are listening live and not enough people choose to order the Podcast we can either limit Bandwidth which will piss people off or start charging everybody who wants to listen five bucks a Month unless we do one of those things we will go broke pretty quickly. Opinions please???

Could be a moot point if we start small, nobody knows.

I am at Jurassic World with my Girls. Thank you Jaz for the cool new trailer!

Art

Jaz,

Still have it, have not tried it because it looks dangerous, if you sit I can handle the plug....
