Or, more accurately, your favorite Hell Dweller comes to Des Moines! Now, where did I put my overalls again?
I love being the Midwest rep. The Southeast rep here just got back from Miami Beach… The West Coast rep was hanging in LA last week… My boss is in New York City… But I get DES MOINES!!
</Don Rickles>
Seriously, a band of mine (COC) is playing a radio event for KAZR (The Lazer) in Des Moines for “Mancow’s Election Bash,” and I am going out there to make sure things run smoothly.
The show is on Saturday, November 4. I fly in that afternoon and have to make sure the show goes okay. The next day, I am free all day until my flight leaves at 6:10 PM.
So, who wants to get together for a Sunday lunch? I know we have a strong Des Moines contingency on the board. I was even gonna stop there on my aborted “Teeming Minions US Tour”.
Anyone want to have a Dopefest there while I am in town?

YAY!!! November 4. I’m not in Des Moines anymore, but I’m not far away. I’ll definitely have to go home for the weekend. You can count on seeing me, Satan.
:::bounce::: I finally get to meet Satan! YAY again!
Dijon Warlock: I’ll be driving from Davenport, I’ll be glad to swing through Iowa City for you. There are a few rules you have to follow though.
You will not be permitted to rape, maim, or murder me.
You will probably be expected to join in the Kid Song Singalong, as my two-year-old son will be with me for the drive to Des Moines; brush up on “Itsy-Bitsy Spider”, “I’m a Little Teapot”, “Bingo” and “Where is Thumbkin?”
I smoke. A lot. There’s no rule that says you have to smoke…I just thought I’d let you know.
You will not be permitted to pay for gasoline. Just in case you are one of those people who offers “gas money”, it’s only fair you should know that I’m one of those people who refuses it. Thanks anyway.
Rule #1 is the most important. If you kill me, I’ll be really pissed. Other than that, just lemme know when you want to leave town. I’m thinkin’ I’d like to leave Davenport either Friday night or Saturday early afternoon. Send me an email at chrisctp@home.com and we’ll work something out.
Satan baby, count me in! Although, I would much rather meet up with you Saturday night. Sundays are for recovering from the previous night’s wild events.
Of course, if that’s not possible, I’ll try to drag my sorry ass up to meet for lunch. No promises, though…
Yep! I get to work for COC, whose new CD America’s Volume Dealer is in stores this Tuesday 10/10! Please buy it so my paycheck doesn’t bounce! And call your local rock station to request the single from the disc “Congratulations Song” often!</plug>

It would be nice if you could come! But please don’t kill ChristCTP. At least until after I meet her! ducking
boli
Since I will be at the concert and working, I sure don’t want to commit to anything on Saturday night. Even though Chris might be going to the concert, I already warned her that I may not even have time to hang out because of my job.
But come Sunday, I am totally free. Something around when my hotel kicks me out (12-1 or so) would be good. Then I have until 5ish to get my rental car back to the airport.

Hey, here is my application to ride up with Chris:
#1 I can make sure that you aren’t mimed or killed on your way up. #2 Hey, I know the “Itsy Bitsy Spider” by heart, and if you have a cd player I can bring Animaniacs. If no cd player I can bring the adapter for one. Which brings us to 3 since it uses the car lighter. #3 I smoke as you know, and I will even bring a lighter so we can use the cd player. Satan, I do refrain from smoking around those that don’t, and I wouldn’t want to play Devils advocate since I and others are so proud of you. #4 No problem offering money for gas! I’m flat broke!
If Davenport can survive us do you think Des Moines can? I know that you lived up there for a while, but both of us together?
He might want to change his title from hitcher to ringmaster.
Okay (trepidatious gulp), I’m in for this (silly womenfolk? How can I resist?). I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m getting way to reclusive for my own good, so what better treatment than to travel for hours in a vehicle full of people I’ve never met? Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, Chris, but I’ve been off the boards for several days. Rules?
Same as yours. It plays well on the silver screen, but puts a damper on conversation in real life. I won’t if you won’t.
Kid Songs, eh? I can live with this. Just don’t let Barney in the car. That guy (?) creeps me out.
Your gas, your money; whatever works is cool with me. I don’t drive anymore, so if you’re looking for some compensation, I’d go with the money. As long as you’re happy, then so am I (otherwise known as “No pride, no shame”).
I get to sit in back and crack a window, right? I’ll live, but if I return from this trip with a Nicoderm addiction, I’m sending you the bill.
Saturday would work better for me, if it matters. As long as we can find me accomodation that won’t require a credit card (they were killing me; I retaliated in kind–it was only fair), I am taking the plunge. Satan? Don’t worry about me killing anyone before you meet them. I need the ride home.

How odd. I have waited for this albumn to come out for some time now…
I actually picked it up today before I came to work and was listening to “Take What You Want” when I hit this thread.
Excellent CD. Awesome band, I have been a fan since ‘Blind’. -vote with a gun- PEPPER for President!
Although I dont live tooo far (Sioux Falls, SD) I didnt see any listings for this concert… Is it open to the public??
I cant get over the fact that I am helping to support Satan, Jeessh.
Well, that would be “Vote With A Bullet,” but you were just testing me!

It should be. It’s a radio station event for KAZR, the rock station there known as The Laser. It’s part of their “Mancow’s Election Bash” and you can win tickets online.
And you didn’t know I was in charge of the music industry?

Thanks, Satan!!! I have, for the first time on the net, actually entered my ‘REAL’ name and address on a web site. (can you say “Junk Mail!” (I had to. (well I didnt - but I am Drunk.)) The only way to get tickets (for me) is to enter their online ‘CONTEST’.
I feel ill. I will be the bloody one, in the mosh pit, hanging his head low… I have been compromised.
Here’s the deal. I fly in on Saturday and at the venue I will be busy helping out and schmoozing and stuff with the band and radio folks. So, if anyone needs tickets to the show, e-mail me and I’ll try and get you on the guest list, but you may not see me, and I may not have much time to be nice if I do see you.
On Sunday, November 5, I will be watching my beloved New York Giants play the Cleveland Browns at the following establishment:
Bourbon Street
500 Army Post Rd # 3
Des Moines, IA 50315
(515) 285-5733
The game starts at 12:00 PM Central and ends at approximately 3:00 PM Central. My plane does not leave until 6:10 PM, and since this place is is only five minutes from the airport and the rental place, it gives me a couple hours after the game. I figure people can meet me at the place at any time while the game is on. I think you can eat there…
Is this cool? Please advise… I don’t want to miss my beloved New York Giants if I can help it, but I’d like to meet you guys of course!

I don’t know if I will be there or not. I’m going back home for the weekend, so that leaves my Sunday up in the air as far as what time I would get back into town.
Will you still be at this place between 3 and 5 p.m.? That’s as early as I would get back. Hopefully we can work something out…

You’ll definitely see me tomorrow afternoon at Bourbon St. I emailed you about tickets to the show back when this thread first opened, but haven’t heard back, so I assume that was a no-go. At any rate…see you tomorrow!
