Nah, he's humorous!!:rofl:

The List Grows
 

My list grew as well:
Davin
Karen
Keithie
Pam
Vaxman
Martha
Rick
Mossy and family
Elric
Wizzard
Radix
Thor
JamForte
Laxmi
Rogormortis
Tom Gagliardi
RogerdotLee
Nadina
Roger Weber
Moses
and I saw Sean McFee AKA TOIB on stage, not sure if that counts:confused:

Re: The List Grows
 

OF COURSE THAT COUNTS JIMBO!

I reckon you are the NUMBER ONE MOONIE MEETER!!!!

Miss chatting with you too Jim. KWIM?

Re: The List Grows
 

The story of how I met Sean is in the other thread...I tried to find Jim to introduce him but he's as slippery as an eel....

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

I posted this in the Nearfest thread also....

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Great pictures Rickster............I'm a bit worried that you took pictures of a big guy and his tattoo though.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

That's Jeff Laramee, drummer and sometime singer for Sonus Umbra and Kurgan's Bane. Along with Luis Nasser, there's two that will give BTO a run for their money.

I showed up at a Bane show two months back wearing a shirt with the same pic as the tattoo (totally coincidental). Quite funny.....

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Great pics! I have to go into a meeting will peruse them more later.

Nice job!

(Did you tell Riverside to make noise and keep me up on Sat PM? :) )

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Great pics too nadina. Thanks for sharing them.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Nadina, great pics! Rick, great pics on the Nearfest thread!

Thought it was funny that Nadina was standing next to a sign that said "black box" in one of Rick's shots.

Also, Jim switched t-shirts with his brother...that caused a few secs of confusion (doesn't take much)

This has to be the largest moonie presence ever. With the arrival next year of the European contingent, complete debauchery will ensue and as this sort of thing is up my alley, I'm going to put getting there at the top of my list.

Now....poda.....what say you to the trip.

As an aside, and I know everyones very busy so I don't want to create "work", but how's about a picture gallery for Moonies Meeting Moonies, in conjunction with our already existing gallery.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

A great idea...

We'll have to incorporate that into the new web site.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Great pictures all! Improved by the fact that I'm not in most of them, I'm sure. Rick had to take that one and ruin the story I was going to make up that says I was there "in spirit only." Oh wait, Davin has another picture of me with a rather happy cookie. Maybe he won't post that one.

Wait, looking again, Rick's pic of me doesn't have any proof in it that it was actually taken at the fest. It could have been anywhere. Yeah that's it. I can still post that story!

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

nice pics everyone! thanks for sharing.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

great pictures and loved the reveiws tooo!!!

and yes mossy one year i'll be free to join in...:thumbsup:

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Ya know, we do have a gallery here, and it wouldn't take too much in the way of bribery to get ol' Dr. Dot to create one for y'all...

The Traveling Nadina....
 

Attachment 184 I just had a wonderfull time enjoying an evening of Nadinas company. Between Nearfest and Cal-prog she has been in the Northeast and yesterday she visited little old me. After dinner, With tales of Bands, Emo, the Moon and all things Prog, we enjoyed a Teaparty spread out by my wife in my home and My New dog Molly did not knock her over.I tried not to with my Sound System.
I cannot express the deep warmth I feel for this Moonsoul as I try to Heal and be Cheery. For her to bend her trip to include this visit so inspires me in the Human spirit and my next steps......Thank You again Nadina for that Awesome nite!

---------------------------------------------:angel: -------------------------------------------

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Hope you didn't mind, but I saved the pic in my Moonie file...

Is that blue and orange TDK cassette tapes behind you? My college days live!

:imp:

Re: The Traveling Nadina....
 

Fab picture!!!! Like rick I have saved it in my Moonies file. The sort of picture that can cheer you up when you're feeling down. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

awesome.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Funny that Jim can't remember me - I can remember meeting him in London

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

I can add another moonies to my long list of moonies I've met. At the recent CalProg in Whittier, Ca., I had the pleasure of making Museman's acquaintance.Attachment 187

From left to right: A miscellaneous "prog" fan :rolleyes: , VAXman, Martha (the lovely Mrs. VAX betrothed to yours truly for 20 years), Nadina (whom I've had the pleasure of her company on 4 separate occasions in the past year) and Museman (who has to the the biggest moonie here).

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

looks like a prog line up of the Unusual suspects:winkies:
no doubt a goodtime had by all

poda

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

I'm sure I don't know what you mean - you're in my list and you can't prove that I just edited it...(8-D

The Traveling Nadina Show.........
 

Can't wait to show the Mrs. This post as for her food is Love. I can only repeat What a joy it was to have a Prog buddy to share with for a few Hours. Thanx For Your Visit-------
So my Question after seeing Vaxs Latest entry, ----Whos the Biggest Moonie?
Museman ,Tee and Me gotta Know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have stood by us all
--------------------------------------:-V ---------------------------------------

Re: The Traveling Nadina Show.........
 

after meeting Nadina twice and vax often, I'd guess Muse to be 6'4", 260.

(never one to take a stab, I am).

He's definitely bigger than Tee, and sharc I hope to meet this year.

Poda..unusual suspects :rofl:

Re: The Traveling Nadina Show.........
 

:D I liked him next to Nadina -- who complains that everyone towers over her.

I concur on the Tee... can't say for sure about Sharc as the pic of him is with Nadina on the settee making it difficult to judge his height.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Museman, you are a viking!! :)

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Wow! We'll need a moonies meeting mammoth moonies thread! :D

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

Gotta get a pic of Museman and sharc together! We should plan an "official" get together at NF 07 for everyone, and have a party and teh whole bit.

Re: Moonies Meeting Moonies
 

If that happens, I will tote the keg along!

Next week, I get to add Juliaval and PeterG to this list.

Rick Armstrong, son of Neal Armstrong moon walker, told me at the Marillion Weekend that he listens to AM and had even sent $50 for the 128K stream. If ProgDirJim can verify this, I'm adding him ot the list. I also talked with Rick about getting his father to make a promo for AM.

Re: a perfect dozen
 

You've actually met many more than the people on this list...you just didn't know they are Moonies. I'd estimate there are at least 40-50 others who have listened that you've met..they just don't appear in the shoutbox that often.

Aural Moon is becoming well known in the prog community. Always be on the lookout for various artists dropping by for a listen. We've had members of Little Atlas, Salem Hill, John Goodsall, just to name a very few. On Monday, Johan from Violent Silence may pop in for a listen. As i play current artists, I'm alerting them to the airplay. Although music is often a difficult if not impossible way to make a living, they appreciate the support we all give.. in return for great music.

The promo sounds great...just don't play it as much as the Caamora one! :bash:

New Meetings....
 

Im thinking of starting a Central Thread that allows Moonies to announce venues they will be at . By Posting these Show Dates, and Who may be in the same areas going to those shows. We could Stop Passing like ships in the Night

A Real Example:
I going to see the Beard in Hartford on Apr. 26th. Anybody else going to be around? Ill be sitting next to Neal in the Audience

Ill see who shoots the idea down first

Re: New Meetings....
 

Not me sharc...I think it's a great idea. Go for it!!!

Re: New Meetings....
 

Sharc,

I second KW's thoughts. Excellent idea.

So are you really going to see the Beard? Do you know Neal??

Anyway Enjoy the concert!!

Regards,
Ted

PS thanks for the Hammond requests!!!

Re: New Meetings....
 

Neal who?

We had a great time, brief that it was, together in NY. We met at my fave NYC watering hole Stout NYC. Sampled several beers and ate some grub, and then we trudged up Broadway to B.B. King's for the Jon Anderson show. We got there just as they ran out of table space, so we were conscripted into the S.R.O. crowd next to the bar. A great gig with lots of classic Yes. Afterwards, we went back to Stout NYC and then parted ways for the evening.

Thanks Julie and Peter!

Of course, there's the quintessential group pic.

Re: New Meetings....
 

This will be a slow year for the big travel plans. I'll be at a lot of shows, but the plans of travelling great distances to see Moonies is on hold. I will be at Rosfest, Nearfest, Progday, and various smaller shows, but the remainder of the summer is family-related.

I'll finally get to meet Steady Stan, and we'll hit the disc links in April. Maybe some of the Florida Moonies can let me know how close to Orlando you are!

After meeting so many Moonies at shows the last few years (we're everywhere), and especially FINALLY meeting Poda and Keith, where is there to go? Oh yeah sharc, roger (vt), etc lol....maybe in the late fall...

Remember, everyone you turn on to Aural Moon is a Moonie...so spread the word!
