That sounds really, really filthy.

I have to wash now.

Oh my god, I am rolling.  This shows you why you
should not try to rush
 and 
email without speelcheck when you are running out to
ref.

---OK, this is part of what I'll miss about audities. 
This exchange made me laugh out loud for quite awhile
(I'd raised an eyebrow when I saw the "sexchanged" in
the first post, but assumed it was an in-joke. 
Somehow, knowing it was unintentional made it
exponentially funnier).  I remember this happening
many times over the ?eight? years I've been on this
list.  One that comes to mind is Mike Bennett's
response to someone who said something about sending a
CD "rush delivery":  "What?  Then you won't get it
'til 2112!"

I also met a couple of really good friends through
this list who I never would've known without it, the
aforementioned Mr. Bennett and Kelly Cronin, along
with many others who I've crossed paths with, and
don't keep up with nearly as often as I should.  I
found some good roommates and saw some fun pop fests
that I wouldn't have otherwise known about.

And occasionally there'd be a really great outbreak of
baseball talk.

While I still enjoyed reading many people's posts,
admittedly I haven't been much of an active
participant here for the past few years.  It seemed
there'd been a fairly substantial drop-off in the talk
about new music, which resulted in my going elsewhere.
 I think all groups can get stale after awhile, so
maybe a shakeup will do us good, while still allowing
an interested core group to continue.  Hopefully it
will be a chance to bring in some new blood as well.

Anyway, I'm curious to see what comes next.

originator of one legendary audities battle, lo these
many years ago)
