Thanks for the welcome, Mr. Phelps. I've enjoyed several of your threads and posts here during my years as a lurker.

I have only met that Thor guy.
Twice, on Giorgio Moroder and Røyksopp concerts.

In August 2012, Mrs. Phelps and I enjoyed a swell evening with (Member). We ate dinner at La Closerie des Lilas. Our conversation lasted late into the evening. We discussed our fascination with 1965-75 era TV and film, as well as the resident "characters" here at FSM (Graham Watt's name was mentioned; more out of obligation than genuine awe). My wife and I enjoyed the evening and still recall it fondly.

Thus spake Jimbo! And what a LOVELY way to put it. It's a great, GREAT honour to have been mentioned at all, even if it was "more out of obligation than genuine awe". I do feel as though I HAVE actually met you now. In fact, in a way, I don't really WANT to meet you (plural) in "real life", because you would only be a disappointment. As would I. I'm even less awesome (as in "creating genuine awe") than I am on the massage board (sick).
Having said that, I think I actually would like to meet some of you. Kansas is a bit far for me. We could do Santiago de Compostela. It's still a bit of a drive for me - over an hour - but I'm sure we could have a nice wander and a chat about the weather. Just don't mention film music! By the way, if Jim and Onya are there, will we have to do a crash course in Charley Mangle, John's Coal Train and Ornate Coalman in order to "pass the test"? Oh Lordy - what if it's all Brits? I don't know anything about football.
On second thoughts, include me out. I'm much better as a hollow-gram. Even my dear wife tells me that, every day. "You get back to your computer". But enough of me. How are you? Glad to hear it.

As I recall, (Member) reeled off a few FSMers' names and then yours was followed by an awkward, impenetrable silence. Thankfully, our starters arrived immediately afterwards, thus cutting the tension.

Dead singer Captain Beefheart referred to Ornette as "Ornate Coldman." I last visited Spain in 2014, but there was no sign of you anywhere. I encountered this same FSMer absence in London four years prior. I foolishly intend on visiting Londontown again this fall, so that should give everyone time to scurry like the rats they are.
