aldousburbank,

I thought we agreed when I let you take that photo it was for personal use only...

Steve, is that you?

[Aussie Dave]

I'm sure that can be arranged, if you're the Aussie Dave, not just a dim reflection with the same moniker.

Sorry I think you have me mistaken for somebody else.

[Avi]

Ah-yup!

[Aussie Dave]

Ah-yup!

I should quit trying to put on the Maine accent, almost as weird as the Australian.

[CarlLofgren]

Just for the record, I did check and NO I do not have rights to the old shows, any of them. It's ok I can live with that.

Art

What a strange world we are living in. I sometimes face the same issue - music productions I've worked on are no longer mine. But it's not a bad thing really. There is never a shortage of fresh ideas anyway!

Can I plant an idea in your head? Five bucks is a good amount, but think about having a level of membership above that. Ten bucks and you get access to warpdrive, cat-cam and the opportunity to wish for songs. You get the idea. I think one of the reasons why Kickstarter have become so huge is backers can involve themselves in different levels. 5 bucks entry level. 10 for something extra. 20 for all of that plus extra cheese, 50 for a signed baseball cap etc.

[Aussie Dave]

I agree that there should perhaps be different levels of subscriptions with different benefits considering that there are those that would willingly pay more than $5.

[Daggit]

I like the idea of different subscription levels.

[nooryisawesome]

I like the idea of different subscription levels.

I really like the idea of getting an autographed picture. Perhaps as another poster said pay for a year in advance and get the picture.

[onan]

I'd pay extra for reminder calls.

[dan7800]

Well since we are giving the free show away to everybody I would hope you would see your way clear to pay a few bucks a Month for the Podcast if you want it. Plus we are going to deputize a bunch of people on here and give them company email addy's to write take down notices that will be backed by Lawsuits till people get the idea.

Art

Art, you can "deputize" me, but be forewarned that you cannot beat Pirates. Unfortunately, you will more or less have to live with them.  Big movie/music companies cannot beat piracy, and neither can you.

Yea, the picture idea was mine. I'd pay my year in advance now.

Make it out "To Dan, my best friend and hero - Art."

LOL. Just having is signed Thank you for your support - Art Bell or something similar would be cool.

Pirates are difficult to deal with. What is the best way to deal with them on youtube because I think that will be the major issue. During Darkmatter shows were posted their daily.

[nooryisawesome]

Look who is all dressed up. Art looks good for his age. I still say Art should bring back the stache.

[ge30542]

Very Attractive Couple !
Mr. Bell, do you need someone to read your "spots"? I'm just the guy, I know technical radio terms like "spots", AND, all my life, I've been told I have a face for radio...

Please Mr. Bell, take my money, I'm in!

[ponyboysunset]

So when we get close those of you who would like to volunteer can contact Keith and you will get a boiler plate you can paste to email and a company email addy and perhaps a AR15 or AK47. (Your choice)

Art

I am all over this!

[AZZERAE]

Yes we will indeed have our pal pay. If you really want get Keith annoyed though send pennies.

Art

PS Besides who better to catch a Pirate then a Pirate? I am in the right place!

Doesn't take much to piss on Keiths battery it seems.

Money is money at the end of the day, y'know Art.

[chinaclipper]

yeah....'stache up, Art!!

[DesertFox]

When it comes to the stache--it's up to the wife.  I'm sure Art cares more what Mrs. Bell thinks on this issue than us dopes.

I will call you and remind you not to stay up till 2:33 in the morning for five dollars a month!

[DesertFox]

Yes I do...thumbs down.

[Northern Nights]

Does Premier hold the rights to Area 2000, the Dreamland precursor?  If not is it possible for you to obtain them?  I'm sure many of us would pay to hear those.

[chinaclipper]

Yes I do...thumbs down.

lol...not what I meant, but that's ok.

[DesertFox]

lol...not what I meant, but that's ok.

Yeah, I was guessing the "Fox thing".

[paladin1991]

You guise are too cerebral.  Dumb it up will ya.  How am I supposed to follow?  I'm a college grad dammit!

[chinaclipper]

at the risk of dating myself, just think classic Dick Vandyke....

[DesertFox]

Maybe we need some Al Jolson references. 

[VegasI15]

Sophocles is more from my time. 

[DesertFox]

I tend to favor Homer.
