I am so excited I am losing control of my body. Come feel love and be rocked and by art from people.

Lately I've really been getting into cookies. I wasn't a big cookie person before, but Robert is really into them and he recommended some. Before I was strictly gummi candy, but I have really enjoyed the cookies I've been having recently.

Hey Don't You guys have a show Saturday? Shouldn't that be mentioned here?

Probable bowling pin reaction to the A.P. Set.

Look, an article about the Pin Project, no mention of AP though.

Here's a website that tells me my browser doesn't have the latest version of flash. Thanks, jerk.

Starts at 7pm at 305 South in Durham.

AUDUBON PARK FANCON 2006 RECAP

Well, for now, Audubon Park’s management is reporting that the band will indeed continue in its original lineup. David Nahms erratic behavior is being blamed on ‘bad meat’ from a Quiznos’ sub. Robert Biggers behavior has not been explained. Finn Cohen is reportedly still soloing. While the excitement of meeting countless celebrities was certainly enjoyable, there was something lacking about this FANCON. Maybe a little of the magic is gone. I’m not saying Audubon Park has sold out, but maybe all the success and hype the band is experiencing in the lead up to release of "Team Urge Hearses" has spoiled the charm that was our little secret.

Or maybe I just don’t like this kind of music. And I can’t believe a took off so much work for this nonsense.

As it turns out, the group Matt Kalb joined is not Audioslave, but Ayreon. I think I’ll follow him, and turn my attention to this far superior group. I’ve included some information from the band’s webpage below.

About group’s third album, “Into the Electric Castle”:

“'Into the Electric Castle' tells the story of 8 stereotypical characters from different periods of time who suddenly find themselves in another dimension. A Highlander, Knight, Egyptian, Indian, Barbarian, Roman, Hippie and Futureman each try to understand where they are and what they are supposed to do. It is then that a voice rings out from the sky to tell them that the dimension they have arrived in is built on dreams and fears. In order to find their way back to their own dimension and time, they must go in search of The Electric Castle. During the search every character is forced to confront his or her innermost fears, and not everyone survives the treacherous journey to the Castle. At the end of the journey those that successfully dealt with their personal demons find out that the voice belongs to an alien named 'Forever of the Stars', a member of an alien race living in a distant galaxy. These aliens created planet Earth and its people as an experiment so they could study, and hopefully one day experience emotions, as they themselves lost feelings eons ago. 'Into the Electric Castle' is a double CD. On disc 1 we experience the journey to The Electric Castle and on disc 2 we find out what happens when they arrive there.”

From the first track, on disc 2:

“Hippie:It's kinda groovyIn this world of fantasyWhere no one else can goWithin these boundariesI'm shielded from realityWithout a care or woe

Egyptian:Amon-Ra, have you come to seal my fate?In the garden of emotionsFree my ka, how much longer must I wait?In the garden of emotions”

-ED

AUDUBON PARK FANCON 2006 DAY THREE

The gentleman in the middle may be paired with a feline.


As a loyal fan of A.P., I’m sticking with the band even if reports that David Nahm fired himself last night and declared “Garfield” as his replacement turn out to be true. He was spotted last night running through the halls screaming, "Not the one from the movie! The real one! Fuck you Odie! Gimme lasagna!!!!!!!" Henry Rollins was being interviewed by two “reporters”. Word on the street is that he may be in charge of between song banter at future live A.P. dates.

Audubon Park Fancon 2006 Day Three

The attractive Mr. Spiker assaults me.

I gotta be more careful what I put on here. After yesterdays comments about Ben Spiker, the former drummer assaulted me on the street, shouting, “I am a pretty motherfucker!” I'll just say he's not my cup of tea and leave it at that. -ed

AUDUBON PARK FANCON 2006 DAY THREE

Cohen does not go gently into that good night.

Yesterday, Matt Kalb issued a press release that he had left the band and would be joining Audioslave on their upcoming tour. Representatives from Audioslave denied any tour plans as well as having heard of Matt Kalb. Kalb could not be reached for comment. Finn Cohen has been soloing non-stop since yesterday in hopes he can avoid being fired. They've turned out the lights on him, but he continues his bass playing filibuster.-ed

AUDUBON PARK FANCON DAY THREE

Lets get this party started!!!!

Things got crazy again last night. With close to twenty-three people in the room, I decided to lighten the glum mood that had descended over everyone since word of Audubon Park’s apparent collapse. So I gave Larry somebody, an Audubon Park fan from Michigan, the ole Abu Ghraib treatment. I haven’t stopped laughing. Really. AP’s management team issued a statement, neither confirming nor denying previous rumors, merely stating that the band is in the midst of a “beautiful transformation.” Lets hope for the best. -ed

AUDUBON PARK 2006 DAY TWO

Upper management confers regarding the "escalating condition".

AUDUBON PARK : BAND IN CRISIS

After this morning's report that Ben Spiker had been replaced by Malcolm Jamal Warner, rumors continue to swell regarding the make up of Audubon Park. This afternoon, Matt Kalb issued a press release stating he had left the band due to aesthetic concerns and will be joining Audioslave on their upcoming tour. More departures are rumored. Some are saying that David Nahm has lost his mind and fired Robert Biggers last night. Others are saying that Biggers fired Nahm. One message board post reported that Biggers took the form of Anthony Keidis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and began screaming the lyrics to “Breaking the Girl” at Nahm, who responded by reciting dialogue from “Phantasm”. I'll try to keep everyone updated. -ed

Are these guys twins?

The always exciting Matt Kalb look-alike contest first prize went to Marty Burnwood of Phoenix Arizona(on the left), pictured here with runner up Teddy Sweetins.

AUDUBON PARK FANCON 2006 DAY TWO

This guy knows everybody!

The hype for “Teenage Hotties” continues as does the celebrity spotings. Tom Bergeron introduced me to Florence Henderson and the Fonz. Aye!

AUDUBON PARK FANCON 2006 DAY TWO

Peterson soaks the crowd.

This afternoon’s “Cooking with Nick Peterson” was cancelled after a surly Peterson began spraying the audience with waterguns filled with Wesson brand vegetable oil. FYI, Peterson recorded the upcoming AP album, "Tinnage Uses".
