Are you in Virginia City?
...site of the Ponderosa Ranch (supposedly "ficticious" but I saw it on TV so I know it's real), site of the Comstock Lode silver mines, the place where Samuel Clemens first used the pen name Mark Twain |

I am in Virgina City, a specific place in that city.
BTW- there is a Ponderosa Ranch, or at least a TV set. It's over by lake Tahoe and the whole thing takes up about two acres. The back of main street is the front of the Cartwright's homestead

might you be at Piper's Opera House?
Built in 1885 and still in use, Piper's Opera House has recently undergone extensive restoration. This stage once welcomed President Grant, Buffalo Bill, Al Jolson and Mark Twain. Plus, viewers of shows at Piper’s Opera House can keep their eye out for the ghosts who are said to attend many of the performances. |

No, but you're narrowing it down. Only so many famous places in this town.

If we could ever meet there, the rounds of bloody bulls are on me. In case you want to know, a bloody bull is basically a bloody mary with beef bullion and a few flavorful ingredients mixed in. For some reason, I also find a beer chaser works very well with bloody bulls...one of those symbiotic relationships.
Let me dwell on my next venture and I'll be back later. Last edited by BadNick; 11-06-2009 at 11:34 AM.. |

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread yet... can I play?
You wouldn't be on the sofa with a guitar would you?

amonkie, why am I suspicious of you showing up just as I mentioned spanking Tully? ...I rest my case.
yes I am on the sofa playing my Fender Mustang ....and I'll have you know it's an old one (like me) made in Japan, I inherited it from my daughter who gave it back to me in lieu of a debt; she wanted one "just like Kurt Cobain" but now she plays bass in her up and coming soon to be famous band, RVIVR, going on another tour around the western sofa pretty soon, about to have an album released, they already have some releases, and recently interviewed by a couple of mag rags the band likes. Rumbletowne Records Source: Rumbletowne Records There has been an art delay for MUTOID WORLD. So it goes: All pre-orders will be sent out at the end of November. BUT! Pre-release special spray-painted versions of MUTOID WORLD will be available on RVIVR's upcoming west coast tour. |

Ida's missing me, but might be messing up my Thanksgiving plans.
Beautiful sunny day here. So are you in Tenn?
