[demian] hi there...any word about coco's arrival?

[deathinc] i have a tube of pillsbury chocolate chip walnut

[grantbob] Haven't see him yet

[grantbob] Should be here though.

[grantbob] nuts don't belong in cookies.

[deathinc] grant

[deathinc] i will beat you up

[grantbob] or brownies...

[grantbob] or fudge.

[deathinc] lets rumble

[grantbob] you'd lose... you've had too many nuts

[deathinc] man

[deathinc] you are just the anti-deathinc tonight

[deathinc] i have a 12 pack of rc cola

[deathinc] does that redeem me?

*** corran has joined channel #moam

[corran] hi

[grantbob] Hey corran

[grantbob] Ooh.. RC is good. if you had some moon pies you'd be set.

[corran] moon pies? are those those marshmallow things?

[deathinc] RC cola is almost at the top of my soda hiearchy

[deathinc] even though my roomates made fun of me for buying it

[grantbob] moon pies are giant marshmallow sandwich cookies that have been dipped inchocolate

[corran] don't think i've ever had one.

[deathinc] they have been around for 200 yeras

[grantbob] www.moonpie.com

*** AstroCoco has joined channel #moam

[deathinc] hi coco

[corran] they must be pretty stale then

[AstroCoco] Hi!

[grantbob] Hi Coco.

[ATG] hello coco

[corran] hiya coco

[grantbob] We were just alking about moon pies...

[corran] i mean, HI COCO!

[AstroCoco] Glad I was able to make it today.

[grantbob] an Astro-staple I presume.

[AstroCoco] Moon pies?

[deathinc] I dont think moonpies are vegan approved!

[grantbob] www.moonpie.com

[AstroCoco] Actually have not had one in some time!

[ATG] you are late!

[corran] i should go out and buy some. i've never had one

[grantbob] deathinc has a 12 of RC.

[AstroCoco] You (ATG) are using earth time again!

[deathinc] grant; im ready to get smashed!

[ATG] oops, sorry. my mistake, I forgot to switch back

[deathinc] man....12 rc's do me in!

* demian is gone,^O autoaway/ten minutes (l!on)

[corran] they would do anyone in

[corran] blech

[corran] Coco: favorite earth soda

[AstroCoco] Hmm...how about Nitro Cola!

[grantbob] Are snack cakes a thing of the past now that SC is gone?

*** ATG has changed the topic on #moam to Coco is here (as if you can't see that!)

[corran] sounds...interesting

[deathinc] coco; Chromo Crunch apologizes for not being able to make it, but bestowed the honor of heckling you upon me

[grantbob] I think there are only 4 of us here...

[corran] So, if you drink too much do you have a nitrous burnout?

[AstroCoco] Well SC has nothing to do with the use, or nonuse of snack cakes... more to do with cleaning our equipment after each show!

[corran] Will birdstuff ever write more tour diaries?

*** DZ-015 has joined channel #moam

[grantbob] Hmmm maybe we could use teabags instead.... wait.. no... er...

[AstroCoco] Now that he has a little ext/email device..I would bet on it.

[deathinc] no tea bagging

[corran] excellent

[grantbob] So everyone is back intact?

[corran] seems like blazar is always the one getting injured

[grantbob] maybe he's cursed

[AstroCoco] Well..almost.. Blazar decided to stay on a bit of well deserved holiday in Salvador...

[corran] maybe..

[deathinc] i want to take a holiday in Salvador

[AstroCoco] maybe some stages are a bit too small!

[corran] coco: are you really playing cal state fullerton?

[DZ-015] Maybe you should put that tubular foam pipe insulation on your guitars

[grantbob] Nerf Guitars!

[AstroCoco] You know..I have not seen the final update of the west coast tour yet..just got home yesterday..but it is very likely.

[deathinc] maybe you should take the milli vanilli approach and just play a tape

[corran] I have to know what day to ditch school ;)

[grantbob] They did that with the clones.

[grantbob] And look what that created.

[deathinc] the clones played

[AstroCoco] I was telling grant, I think we are gonna put very sharp blades on the end..and make it even more fun!

[DZ-015] with barbs

[deathinc] except for dexter why

[corran] bayonets

[deathinc] he didnt know how to play

[AstroCoco] easy now, easy

[ATG] sorry to depart, but I've been stuck inside all day, gotta go out for a bit

[grantbob] bad timing

[deathinc] as RUMOR has it

[corran] i only saw clone project alpha, so, no comment

[corran] the 1st wave, or whatever the hell it was

[grantbob] yeah... the Gamma neve came to Atlanta...

[grantbob] grumble...

[corran] i think gamma was on a school night

[deathinc] there was some violence at the gainesville gamma show

[deathinc] beer bottles flying

[deathinc] broken satellite dishes

[corran] i hate school. it sucks. it's making me miss too many moam shows

[AstroCoco] the poor gammas..they had a rough tour..in an awful vehicle...saints..each of 'em!

[grantbob] So what's going to happen to the EEVIAC?

[ATG] corran: same with me.

[DZ-015] hey, who says you can't go to school on two hour's sleep!

[grantbob] Will it make this final west coast tour?

[corran] i can't

[AstroCoco] I am trying to get birdstuff, blazar , and trace set up..so that they can start joining in on these IRC things too..

[corran] that would be spiffy

[deathinc] that might create major ruckus

[corran] that to

[AstroCoco] The Eeviacs have this one last tour..then new years..then maybe a quick florida tour.

[corran] can i have one when you are done with them?

[AstroCoco] Eeviacs on Ebay?

[AstroCoco] Hahah

[grantbob] So will the EEVIAC Mainfram just be left in the basement of Astro-Labs? Or will you sell it on eBay?

[DZ-015] you could put it in the "bean bag plush" section

[deathinc] quick florida tour

[deathinc] you are going to make me drive all over the place

[grantbob] EeviBeanies

[corran] the newest rage

[corran] only 3 left

[AstroCoco] They will most likely be stripped of the useful parts for future projects, and disassembled...florida has yet to experience them.

[corran] going...fast

[grantbob] dutch auction

[deathinc] the rubb is closed down

[deathinc] there is nowhere to play in tampa

[corran] ah, then, can i have a piece of one? You know, like the corner you accidentally break off, or something?

[AstroCoco] The Rubb!..what a bummer..I can't beleive it closed..whats up withthat?

[DZ-015] Are you going to play at disney world?

[deathinc] someone was trying to sue the owner for letting kids with drugs in or something ridiculous

[deathinc] so he just shut it down and walked

[grantbob] I'd like to see Birdstuff take on Tigger.

[AstroCoco] We've tried the disney thing..with no luck.

[deathinc] since his father invented gatorade

[corran] how did the gatorade get in there?

[DZ-015] the big golf ball thing looks like it was made for a moam show

[AstroCoco] that eveil drug gatorade!

[corran] some guy tried to sell a beer and gatorade mix

[DZ-015] yuch

[deathinc] sapphire supper club in orlando is nice, but i dont think you'd fit on stage

[DZ-015] yuck

[corran] people didn't like having gatorade in their beer

[AstroCoco] we've p[layed the saffire many times ..actually.

[deathinc] really

[deathinc] I guess i'm just not hip

[DZ-015] is it a real supper club? with steaks and everything?

[grantbob] Is it smaller than the Echo Lounge?

[AstroCoco] yeah..it is tight..but still cool...the problem has been the projection

[corran] mmm, steak

[deathinc] the club is big

[deathinc] the stage isnt

[deathinc] frank black couldnt fit on stage

[AstroCoco] it is wide, not deep.

[DZ-015] i can see it now, the moam portable astro-stage

[AstroCoco] Speaking of projection...we have lost Pez D. Spencer...sorry to say.

[corran] you forgot him in south america?

[deathinc] its a lot like home alone

[AstroCoco] He actually did not go to Brasil with us.

[corran] oh.

[grantbob] bummer

[AstroCoco] So did you folks get the birdstuff brasil update?

[AstroCoco] What a great time!

[deathinc] a lot of carnage in that one

[grantbob] Yup.

[AstroCoco] yup.

[grantbob] Poor Blazar.

[demian] yep...

[corran] yup, thats how i knew blazar got injured a 2nd time

[grantbob] maybe his head is magnetic

[AstroCoco] Yeah..this time it was way less expensive though!..stitched versus dental repairs.

[corran] grant, you going to post the buffer on the page?

[grantbob] Yeah... I'll put it up there with the old one...

[DZ-015] did he get a cool scar out of the whole ordeal?

[deathinc] people on the list accuse me of being an ass when you post the buffer

[grantbob] no comment

[demian] so the next album is coming along pretty good eh?

[corran] ok, cause i have to go and find the slopes of little curvy lines now. damn calculus.

* corran slaps AstroCoco around a bit with a large trout

[deathinc] its all fun

[AstroCoco] We shall see if he is left with a scar... they did a good job with it..and he actually got them out in the airport in SaoPaulo.

[corran] later coco...and everyone else

[grantbob] I've heard it is going to be about the invention of the bicycle.

[AstroCoco] later corran.

*** Signoff: corran (Leaving)

[DZ-015] air terminal medical service?

[deathinc] when you are a big mtv star, you get these perks dz

[AstroCoco] The bicycle it is!...well kinda..perhaps on the sub-atomic scale.

[DZ-015] schrodinger's bicycle

[AstroCoco] Actually we have to thank MYV Brasil for being very supportive..more than I can say for the US version!

[AstroCoco] In search of...

[deathinc] maybe you will be on the foreign music award thing during the music video awards

[DZ-015] too bad i can't get brasilian cable tv

[grantbob] That's kinda scary... to thank MTV. Guess it's different down there.

[AstroCoco] Haha..a few more tours a we will be a big as A-Ha!

[deathinc] I haven't talked to mocoto in ages

[DZ-015] or even mr. mister

[grantbob] You could change you name to Uh-O

[AstroCoco] It's way better...although it is evidently getting more like the US version every day

[deathinc] mtv was really good when it first came around

[AstroCoco] Information Society was supposidly huge there too!

[AstroCoco] PURE ENERGY

[AstroCoco] PURE ENERGY

[grantbob] Mocoto has been known to be here on IRC... wonder what's up...

[deathinc] i talked to mocoto once or twice on irc

[DZ-015] who's mocoto?

[deathinc] he is a brazilian

[AstroCoco] We did several chat based thing wihile down there ... pretty cool..except we drove the translator crazy!

[grantbob] Mocoto = Leopoldo Furtado - he has a pretty cool looking car

[deathinc] hmm

[grantbob] Maybe that's what we need here.

[deathinc] i think im going to the nashville show coco

[deathinc] because you have neglected florida too long

[grantbob] There should be an Atlanta show...

[deathinc] if that lazy chromo crunch will give me a ride

[AstroCoco] This upcoming tour sure is sneaking up on us...we are adding an Atlanta show the week after we get back...we will be playing a few new tunes we are working on for the new album..

[AstroCoco] lotsa development work went on in brazil

*** Moogkid has joined channel #moam

[Moogkid] Hello

[grantbob] hey moogkid

[AstroCoco] howdy moogkid

[deathinc] hi matt

[Moogkid] hi there

[demian] coco, have you ever played Chico CA before? I notice you';re stopping by this time around...

[deathinc] grant; i should have made the cookies

[deathinc] now i'm left out to dry

[AstroCoco] yeah..we played there once before... so this should be cool, second time around.

[grantbob] OH well.

[grantbob] So coco.. Is MoAM? prepared for Y2K?

[demian] hopefully I'll make it...but no stop in Boise this time eh?

*** Tube-Circ has joined channel #moam

[AstroCoco] Y2k?...silly question...Y2k is simply relavant to humans.. you created your calendar...and only you use it...

[demian] heh...good point..

[Tube-Circ] somebody kick dz-015 off, it's actually my other name

[grantbob] hmm.

[deathinc] it will eventually go away

[Moogkid] Sean, you are going to Causey saturday right?

[deathinc] yes

[AstroCoco] It does intrest us though..the possiblity of human systems breakdown..leaving you even more vulnerable.

[Moogkid] Are you going back to school that night?

[deathinc] its my civic duty

[deathinc] i dunno

[deathinc] it depends on whether or not grave comes i think

[Moogkid] hmm

[grantbob] but if the world is in total chaos and has no money because the phones won't work, there won't be any electricity for your shows.

[deathinc] ehh

[Tube-Circ] portable fossil fuel generators

[deathinc] the phones will work

*** holycow_ has joined channel #moam

[deathinc] why?

[Moogkid] I am almost done with the Nintendo's Greatest Hits

[grantbob] and if deathinc runs out of cookies....

[Moogkid] The music for Klax is so great

[deathinc] grant; i have no cookies!

[holycow_] haha

[deathinc] grant; its your fualt!

[AstroCoco] We have actually developed a generator system that is fueled by kitty litter.

[holycow_] Its about dam time I made it

[deathinc] mrfusion

[grantbob] before or after?

[deathinc] I'm going to go buy some cookies and crack rock

[Tube-Circ] wow, a generator/toilet!

[deathinc] that will get me through the night!

*** Signoff: DZ-015 (Ping timeout)

[grantbob] coco: before or after?

[holycow_] in theory the human body is a generator

[AstroCoco] wait.. i missed that one grantbob..before or after what?..sorry.

[holycow_] fueled by justabout any edible substance

[holycow_] (Ramon Noodles in my case)

[grantbob] kitty liter... unused.. or used?

[Tube-Circ] a really horrible, inefficient, irritable generator that whines

[holycow_] haha

[holycow_] yep

*** Signoff: Moogkid (Leaving)

[AstroCoco] Ahhh... either way...with the proper filter setting.

[grantbob] So should we bring big bags of used litter to the shows this fall?

[demian] haha...

[deathinc] i dont have a cat, so i will have to use the litter myself

[AstroCoco] Great idea!.as if we dont' have enough around here at the lab!

[grantbob] I don't have a cat and I have lots of kitty litter.

[AstroCoco] I will be sure to tell the door guy..let anyone who brings in over 80lbs of litter in for free!

[Tube-Circ] hmm, i wonder how much that would cost

[AstroCoco] not much....you can order it from the Astro-store online in bulk quantities.

[grantbob] 80lbs of used cat litter should be pretty cheap...

[AstroCoco] buy 342 pounds, get the next 50lbs free.

[AstroCoco] ok,ok

[grantbob] BTW: I've noticed if you go to zerotec.com without going from the link on the astro-home-page it still says "not open". Is that by design?

[Tube-Circ] kitty litter bears a strange resemblence to the planet particles you guys sell

[grantbob] Hmmm.. we could mine other planets for kitty litter... that's promising..

[AstroCoco] yeah...zerotec is under a huge redesign..not so much in page design, but in function..it is starting to become more of an ecommerce solution provider for indie labels.

[holycow_] rock on

[deathinc] lots of zerotec stickers at the covered dish

[Tube-Circ] Why aren't there any stickers listed on the page?

[holycow_] hey ive got a geegraphy related question?]

[AstroCoco] There may never be a zerotec page ... more like a service used in the background of label's current pages.

[holycow_] geography

[AstroCoco] Stickers have just come in..they will be up soon.

[Tube-Circ] rockin

[holycow_] any idea when you astro-folks are going to play the Covered Dish next..(Gainesville)

[holycow_] were desperate down here

[grantbob] I think the url is on the EEVIAV album... might want to have it go somewhere by default... even if it's the MoAM? store.

[AstroCoco] on that florida trip...early 2000

[holycow_] excellent

[holycow_] : )

[AstroCoco] yeah..it will go ... i mean there will be a page..for the service itself..with links to sites that use the service..including the astro -page

[grantbob] cool

[AstroCoco] meanwhile i should just point it to the astro-store..good idea.

[grantbob] any new info on the video since last time?

[grantbob] we GOTTA HAVE the video.

[demian] i second that...

[deathinc] we GOTTA goto the media

[AstroCoco] Well..now that we lost Pez... we are sorta at another setback..but dont worry..it is coming..I promise!..Jonathan Rej will most likely have more to do with it now.

[Tube-Circ] Is there any chance the astro-men will be coming to Wisconsin before the end of next august?

*** Signoff: demian ( [k!14])

[grantbob] Is there a video for 9-Volt?

*** demian has joined channel #moam

[deathinc] yes

[deathinc] i think

[AstroCoco] Yeah...Wisconsin..we will probably hit it on the main touring after out new album comes out..in maybe May/June

[demian] hate when that happens...

[AstroCoco] yeah..9volt

[holycow_] long ago I saw 2 astro-videos on some internet vidoe website

[Tube-Circ] awesome! You've got to play the concert cafe again!

[deathinc] altvideos

[holycow_] possibly

[grantbob] Will it be on the video? I don't think it was mentioned on the last update.

[AstroCoco] are they (altvideos) still up?

[holycow_] no Idea

[deathinc] i dunno

[AstroCoco] It will be on the video..all of em!

[deathinc] i just remember it was horribly slow and choppy

[holycow_] it was last year in Jan. when i saw it

[holycow_] it was good for me

[AstroCoco] yeah..we even had an old quicktime version on our server while we were still in Auburn!

[deathinc] hehe

[holycow_] (it was on the bigscreen monitor in Milkmans house)

[deathinc] ryan's monitor?

[holycow_] yep

*** cdevers has joined channel #moam

[deathinc] or his parent's house

[grantbob] I invited the Lee Co Inbreeders Coop to the chat.. but I don't think I gave them enough notice.

[holycow_] it was in computer central

[deathinc] that was one of the few useful things ryan ever bought that he could actually afford

[grantbob] Hey... Chris made it...

[AstroCoco] Well everybody... I better boggie....I, or some astro-man, will be here same time, every time we can...kinda tough sometimes..but we will try our best..Thanks for all checking in!
