My father once told me that the black strips they lay across the roads count the traffic and weight of the vehicles passing through. Been seeing a lot of them popping up in odd locations lately...I wonder if it's "that time of year" for them to be counting cars.

I've always thought that the state loaned them to the local towns to count the traffic to determine paving schedules. If that's the case, Plainfield may soon owe the state $15k.

Oh, and show of hands...who thinks one of E&E's supporters stole it?

The stealing of the equipment was discussed by supporters yesterday.

Tried to watch some of it just now. They said something about how the selectmen told them that the majority of the people are against the Browns. Then they said that it's not about the majority, it's about the minority - because of individual rights guaranteed by the constitution.

Certainly sounds like they want the minority to rule the majority. Doesn't sound like democracy to me. Perhaps at the 2008 election, we should put the guy with the least votes into office. So, Gene Chapman, get back in the running for President! It's about the minority, didn't you hear?

It's funny, I thought that as a general rule, in order to for an individual right to be guaranteed it can't ruin the individual rights of another. Kind of like, "I have a right to be happy and it would make me happy to kill you" It's fairly obvious who wins out in the individual rights battle on that one.

I gave up on it when some guy they haphazardly announced got up on stage and started having technical difficulties with the music. Stop. Start. Stop. Start.

There's no energy at that concert. The little bit of audience I can see in those shots look sedated. They barely move. At one point the guy up on the said something like "Have we had enough!" and the audience gave a half-hearted "Yeah!". It barely registered on the little audio bars that wibble when there's sound.

I plugged back into E&E just in time to hear them say the basket (for donations) is empty.

They also said the feed is coming out perfectly, according to people across the country. LOL

Randy Weaver is getting ready to speak now.

He said the next band up writes songs about implantable microchips. ROFLMAO

No jello shots this time, webby. We don't need any table dancing going on this time.

We were liveblogging it on LFV, until I realized that I was the only one doing it. Oh well, it's not the first time I've talked to myself.

Will the “musical genius” Gene Chapman be performing? Do you have a link to his song?

Of course I have a link to Gene’s “Missed the Gist of Jesus’ Promised Land”, at http://www.hipcast.com/export/.....REYmFx.mp3 Enjoy!

The band that is on now should consider Gene Chapman for lead singer. My ears are hurting.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:

Yeah, those bands majorly suck. My son and his friends played better music in my garage when they were only 13. Seriously.

I switched over to the live feed of the All Good Music Festival on Marvin’s Mountaintop, at least for a while. It’s at iclips.net/allgood if anybody’s interested.

Les Claypool is playing All Good at 6:55 today, and he’s definitely worth watching. I guess I missed Keller Williams (Keller and the Keels), he played yesterday. Dammit.

I also can’t guarantee that I won’t make smartass comments about the bands sucking, or when they talk about stuff like the Illuminati, or microchips being implanted in people’s skin (both of which have already been mentioned).

OK, those things are pretty far fetched.

But the reptilian aliens disguised as world leaders seems pretty plausible to me.

ROFL, Paulie!

My guy walked into my office a few minutes ago and asked “What the hell are you listening to?” I told him it’s a live concert stream, and he said, “Well Sadie (our cocker spaniel) can sh*t music that sounds better than that, so turn it down”. LOL

No, I got it.

Militia Gong Show.

No, wait.

The video on this concert is frightfully bad, but the audio is pretty good.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:

Danny Riley’s on now. I think it’s strange that he said the feds shot at him twice, but nobody at the house knew anything until the dog came running back. It just seems like they would have heard it. Maybe he’s just confused, or maybe I’m just confused, who knows.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:

They should have called this concert “America’s Got No Talent”

# ElfNinos Mom Says:
July 14th, 2007 at 1:53 pm e

Blah blah blah blah blah blah

I thought this was supposed to be a concert, not random nutjobs with a microphone blathering incessantly?

People are wandering around. I don’t even think they’re paying attention.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:
July 14th, 2007 at 1:55 pm e

The guy in the green shirt turned around and started taking a movie of the camera filming it for the stream. I waved at him, but he didn’t wave back. How rude.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:
July 14th, 2007 at 2:01 pm e

That’s a decent-looking burgundy and grey shirt that guy in the front is wearing. It looks a little hot for this kind of weather, though.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:

An alien force has invaded our planet to kill every man, woman, and child? Whoo-boy.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:

There’s some kind of video they say is posted on YouTube. He doesn’t really say what it is, though he held up a copy. Too bad the video is so bad, because only people there can tell what it is.

# ElfNinos Mom Says:
July 14th, 2007 at 2:14 pm e

Randy Weaver loves us all. Good to know.

He thinks Paris Hilton is a devil. First he said she was a dog, then took it back because he likes dogs. LOL

I don’t think I’d go so far as to say she’s the devil, but I do think she’s a skank.

He didn’t talk for very long at all, less than a minute I’d guess, which is disappointing. He’s really the only person there I care to hear speak. Maybe he’s as tired of hearing the blather as I am, because he said they should get on with the party.

Par-tay!

I've figured it out-- it's a filkmeet. That's the only kind of social event where everyone is allowed to sing, no matter how bad.

I think Homeland Security is just there trying to save Americans from the pain of listening to those horrible garage bands, by flying a helicopter overhead to obscure the inhuman noises emanating from the stage.

We're still live blogging this over at Last Free Voice. Paulie had to go to dinner, so I'm talking to myself again. If anybody wants to play, feel free, no registration is necessary.

Unless they're looking for new interrogation methods.

At 7:45 est they showed a close-up of a helicopter.
It looked to me as a news chopper.

That this party needs is a good mosh pit.
