2008 Annual Fire Thread

Motorboat Cruiser · 11-16-2008, 04:47 PM

I played a gig last night smack dab between the 57 and 91. It was smoky enough that street signs were hard to read from a distance. And today... I feel like utter crap. Besides the burning eyes and throat, which never really went away, I've also been enjoying these nice big waves of nausea all day.

The best part is that the gig was a surprise party in an industrial warehouse, which was akin to playing inside a bong. They were expecting about 150 people and about 20 actually showed up. And I suspect all 20 of us feel similarly today. Blech.

we are safe and out of danger -- and very, very thankful! it was a very frightning afternoon/night though.

MBC and DPhile: I hope you are feeling better soon and that all recover from the smoke asap!

KevyBaby: Thank you so much for your devoted friendship. you rock!

I have just completed a breathing treatment after putting the computer back together.

folks, you know how we all wonder what we would take in an emergency if we had mere minutes to decide? think about it again, and make a plan. moments of caos does not lend for clear thinking. deciding which precious MouseEars to bring with is crazy, yet after the essentials and portraits of Walt and SBCastle... i was busy throwing collectable "stuff" in the truck and deciding which was treasure and which was not "as much treasure".

I will spare all of the details as there are many... but, one stunning event left me very very amazed.

only minutes after loading the truck and being ready to flee, the phone rang. on the other end was a calm and reasuring voice. the DLR FD! they were doing a welfare check on CM's in the danger zone!

i am so impressed and proud of the mouse!

xoxo

WOW.

I know that on Saturday when I was at the "WWYC" meeting, they said that if anybody was in the danger zone and had "more important things to do" than to be there, that it was okay and they should go ahead and take care of what's important rather than be sitting in that meeting.

...But I never expected they'd go to the extent that they did for you. Truly impressive!

That sucks that his beautiful Craftsman style house in Pasadena burned down. I'm glad we got to have a swanking there before it was destroyed.

Do not fvcking scare me like that!!! I almost had a heart attack!

Ahhhh! That was the house used as Doc's place in Back to the Future movies right?

I get it now.

In the interview he mentioned "All the memorabilia" he never got around to storing properly. I wonder what bits of movie history were lost.

Sorry

I thought my PS (in the "reason for changing") was enough to cover.

Not the Flux Capacitor - it is safe and available for purchase.
