[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.

[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..

[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

[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.

[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
