In the beginning there was Woodstock...
now there  is .  .  . W O G s t o c k !!

John Prine gathering 1)

a meeting of the John Prine Chat room fiends (yes I said fiends) before, during, and after the Indianapolis show on August 16, 1997 chats are listed in chronological order....

JULY 1, 1997
(7/1/97 1:59) PMS*red 
So is 8/14 the official opening of WOGstock? ending when 8/17 at noon? who...we may never want to leave....

(7/1/97 2:04) WOG
PMS--It won't end until everyone leaves! And that can be anytime convenient....like Bear...she may want to wait until Tue...fares are cheaper...and may wish to arrive on Thur....in which case I'd stay and pick her up....there are no deadlines on this....

(7/1/97 2:05) Dr.J. CA
Heck, we might like it so much we may never leave.
 
(7/1/97 2:07) PMS*red 
WOW...Doc...you are a real Prine addict.....

(7/1/97 2:11) Dr.J. CA
PMS, yes I am and my first JP album is still in its plastic wrap with just a slit to get the record out.

 

 JULY 7th 1997....
Trivia and Wogstock Seeds
I found this old chat amongst my clutter, the seeds of Wogstock are beginning to sprout!
 

(7/7/97 23:28) WOG
Hi, Corey! Aren't you Space's buddy? Where is our hairy friend tonight?

(7/7/97 23:30) corey 
hi WOG... i don't believe i know Space... i'm brian's buddy...

(7/7/97 23:31) PMS*red 
kathy...your news is up in WOGstock...I got your letter but haven't opened it yet....
Bear...he's drop dead great looking.......
HOGster....I learned biker talk this weekend....surprized I'm still walking...

(7/7/97 23:33) WOG
Hi, Space! And, sure Corey...I remember...I sent your picture to PMS this week...you were the one with the guitar, weren't you?

(7/7/97 23:35) WOG
Corey...how many of you guys from Sturgis coming?! Going to bring your guitars, aren't you? We can't let Space Monkey and Joel and Briny ruin our sensibilities...need some order in this mess...

(7/7/97 23:42) PMS*red 
Nice Anton...so I gather that picture tells us that you are not a mornig picture...
Corey...humor the old fart...he probably has a picture of somebody holding a stick and just *thinks* it's you with a guitar...

(7/7/97 23:43) Crusher crusher@ols-inc.com
I Have a coconut bra that will chafe with too much use

(7/7/97 23:44) Briny
Crusher - *hint* - ANY use of a coconut braw is too much...

(7/7/97 23:44) PMS*red 
We need WOGstock T-shirts...

(7/7/97 23:44) Space Monkey
I'm gonna wear my John Prine boxers to WOGstock.

(7/7/97 23:49) Space Monkey
T-shirts is a great idea. I'd love to have a few myself.

(7/7/97 23:49) corey 
i think that's an excellent idea PMS*red... i could probably guarantee to buy quite a few...

(7/7/97 23:49) Briny
The Brine has to go to bed early tonight, anybody want to play Prine trivia?

(7/7/97 23:49) Crusher crusher@ols-inc.com
Q-Ball & I would do a 2 or 3 XXX if you can,,

(7/7/97 23:49) PMS*red 
So, what kind of Logo?

(7/7/97 23:50) WOG
Need an artist...a silk-screener...and cash up front...they don't do it unless firm..

(7/7/97 23:50) Briny
Picture of Prine... WOGSTOCK 1997 beneath it?

(7/7/97 23:50) Space Monkey
We could use the old Woodstock logo with the bird and guitar and just change the words to WOGSTOCK.

(7/7/97 23:51) kathy47 
Wog and Reeda, Tom decided not to let the guy at work make the t-shirts cuz Tom says everything he spells is incorrect, so he wouldn't trust him with an order. But Wog if you are taking orders I'll take a medium cuz they always shrink.

(7/7/97 23:51) WOG
We'd need a picture or representation of John somewhere...he's what the celebration is all about...

(7/7/97 23:51) Lost Bear notmomma@aol.com
Hey bear, I see you're gonna make the trip eh ???

(7/7/97 23:51) PMS*red 
Okay....I figure L, XL, XXL, a med for Kathy47....and should I see about a couple XXXL?
i don't know where to look yet...maybe my buyer can get them done for me at work....


(7/8/97 0:07) PMS*red 
Kathy you are so good.....and Briny I'm curious....But we really have to get something decided and ready to go soon....so send them to me and maybe I can piece them together for the perfect Tshirt...and and and/////I'm smoking now.....

(7/8/97 0:08) Briny
PMS - E-mail me you slow mail address to my office (what I list here...) I'll send my entry SOON!

(7/8/97 0:08) redbeard 
Things are fine...I see wheels are turning
toward WOGSTOCK!!! Let the fun begin!!
 

(7/8/97 0:08) WOG
If we get shirts, we ought to give John one...and maybe the three band members and Eric and Mitchell....might get the last two to wear them before and during the show...

(7/8/97 0:10) kathy47 
I think all our heads are smoking tonight, Reeda! Will draw it tomarrow and get it in the mail by the following day, okay?

(7/8/97 0:10) WOG
Kathy, I assure you, John is already aware, and will be reminded! He thinks its all just a bit strange, I think...but he doesn't know how wide it is getting...and it will now have to be specially planned. Imagine John spending just one minute with each of us...and there will probably be another 25 guests waiting to see him...time restraints are entering very fast here, as far as each of us getting to spend even a minute with him....he is dead tired after these performances...

(7/8/97 0:10) PMS*red 
Of Course we will WOG....maybe we ought to get 75....I can pay for them here if we decide to get them here...and you guys will pay me back huh?

(7/8/97 0:10) Space Monkey
Who knows? this idea may catch on so well that John will put on an official WOGSTOCK show next year.

(7/8/97 0:12) kathy47 
Wog good idea, we have to get the shirts to the guys prior to the show, this will be so coooooool!

(7/8/97 0:12) Briny
OK - I'm starting questions for SET 3 of the Prine trivia contest. Remember - don't answer now - send answers to all 5 questions to my e-mail address...
Q1 (Prinester question) The wind in his hair, the bugs in his teeth, the world's finest machine throbbing beneath his bum as he cruises the shores of Lake Marie. Who is he? (easy, I know...)

(7/8/97 0:12) Space Monkey
That's true WOG, we'll all have to keep that in mind at the show.

(7/8/97 0:13) WOG
Lurkers...come on in, we see all of you out there! Help us out!
 
(7/8/97 0:13) PMS*red 
Kathy...your husband can scan it...remember? then e-mail it to me....
Briny...

(7/8/97 0:13) WOG
Hi, CB...sltill here? We're all thinking so hard tonight that you'll think we're rude...jump in...we're just brainstorming...toss out any idea, dumb or smart...as you see, it encourages other ideas....and we'll have a fine finished product!

(7/8/97 0:14) kathy47 
I think we will need a family pic of all of us, if anyone has a camera that can fit us all!

(7/8/97 0:15) Briny
I got a camera and a tripod and a timer...

(7/8/97 0:15) Lost Bear notmomma@aol.com
The last grain of sand just squeezed through the egg timer, I'm booted off by teeny children, good luck sorting out the T-shirt graphics, g'nite !!!

(7/8/97 0:16) Space Monkey
Ready Briny...

(7/8/97 0:16) WOG
PMS...work out the design through our resident artist...get quotes from ala, tn, and anywhere else for the best deal....then we'll decide how many, and I will pay for them...and then we'll sell them, and if I get stuck, I'll have clean collector's items that'll probably sell for $50 once the century chanages and people need something to sop up that particular New Year's Eve Party....any way....let's figure right now that they are paid for...once I agree to the total price....

(7/8/97 0:16) Briny
Night LB.
You guys get Q1? Ready for Q2?
(7/8/97 0:16) PMS*red 
OOOH.... A wogstock Logo....with an Alpo hat on the Guitar
over a little house with a yard full of tents and bodies coming out of the windows and doors...
and JP sitting on the steps out front ....saying "Oh Boy"

(7/8/97 0:18) Briny
Q2: What sond did JP write for a person whose first two names were "Empson Schobie"?

(7/8/97 0:20) Briny
Q3 Pamela Walker took part in an event in a Prine song. WHERE did the event occur?

(7/8/97 0:20) Briny
Q4: JP puts angels in lots of his songs. In what song does the angel have black hair?

(7/8/97 0:20) WOG
PMS...you've got mouths to feed...I insist on the risk...my kids are grown...hey, Bear! You there?

(7/8/97 0:22) PMS*red 
I gotta charge card... i gottta job.... I'm excited.... we'll work it out WOG.... Between the 2 of us it will work....

(7/8/97 0:22) WOG
Briny, you are good, you know it? Before you four-parter #5, did I miss the scores to see who's leading this contest so far?
 

(7/8/97 0:22) Briny
Finally, Q5: The JP Live On Tour Album (CD) has a picture of JP coming down some stairs. In the original picture there was somebody behind him, but that person has been "retouched" out (you can still see a bit of his arm...) Who was retouched out?
 
(7/8/97 0:23) PMS*red 
WOW>>>BRINY...those are amazing questions!!!!

(7/8/97 0:24) Briny
nutt is leading with 10 pts, Bear second with 8, Ethan third with 6. Anybody willing to send in correct answers to sets 1 and 2 gets 6. First correct to me on these gets 5....

(7/8/97 0:24) ethan
briny: can all the answers be found on the internet?

(7/8/97 0:25) Briny
All the answers on the internet  or JP CDs... Number 5 might be hard from the net, I don't know....

(7/8/97 0:26) ethan
briny: you mean the CDs might be necessary to find the answers? The only one I have is Great Days...
 
(7/8/97 0:26) WOG
#5 is hard as I sit here looking at the booklet...

(7/8/97 0:27) Briny
Find a picture of the cover of JP Live on Tour and you have all you need, E-man. There's a hint in there if you can find it!

(7/8/97 0:27) redbeard 
Wog..Depends on which booklet!!!

(7/8/97 0:28) Briny
Red beard - you know number3, huh?

(7/8/97 0:32) PMS*red 
Let me know what you find out at the t-shirt place Space....thanks

(7/8/97 0:32) ethan
I've got two answers so far. Am I in the lead?

(7/8/97 0:32) Space Monkey
. I wouldn't miss Wogstock for the world.

(7/8/97 0:34) PMS*red 
WOG...look what you started....this is going to be great....and you are crazy....

(7/8/97 0:35) nutt
WOG, i've certainly looked my booklet over and don't see 5

(7/8/97 0:35) brian brian@phreakco.com
hi folks....here i am, but i suppose late is better than never, right?

(7/8/97 0:35) PMS*red 
Somebody please bring an 11-14 child with them...my kids think I'm mean for takeing them to an Old Geezers house to see a concert by some old guy.....they will have a blast!!!

(7/8/97 0:35) rich PCs4rummies
Are imported problems a dollar more ???

(7/8/97 0:36) WOG
yeah, pms...it was just a joke...now i gotta go up in no-man's country and buy a damn house, just for making things up!

(7/8/97 0:36) brian brian@phreakco.com
i think my friend rick machan is bringing his two kids, 12 and 14...or somewhere in that age range....

(7/8/97 0:37) WOG
yeah, nutt...i didn't see it either...maybe it's on the plastic cover...I don't know where that is...Hi, Brian....how many guitars you bringing and how many Prine songs do you guys play??!

(7/8/97 0:37) redbeard 
Nutt>>1 clue wrong booklet....think where u
have seen that pic!!!

(7/8/97 0:38) PMS*red 
WOG....in the maps I have it looks like you live on the edge of something....is it all empty field behind the house?

(7/8/97 0:39) WOG
New Castle? It's the edge of town, pretty much...there is plenty of space for tents...

(7/8/97 0:39) PMS*red 
Do I have to wear the gas mask wog?

(7/8/97 0:39) PMS*red 
Brian...wonderful....great.....boys or girls?

(7/8/97 0:39) redbeard 
WOG..IS a VCR at new Castle...have a couple
of tapes i am sure everybody would Love!!

(7/8/97 0:39) WOG
yeah...contaminated soil or something...land was a steal...

(7/8/97 0:40) PMS*red 
gotta bring a TV and VCR....and a shovel for all the crap wog is gonna dish out...I'm personally wearing my waders.....

(7/8/97 0:40) WOG
Not unless nutt eats too many peanuts on the way up....
 


(7/8/97 0:52) WOG
Somebody shake nutt...he's off in the corner again...he's trying out for a job with Cowboy Mouth....he can drool with the best of 'em...

(7//8/97 0:53) nutt
i'm still working on #5. i wonder where he got this one.

(7/8/97 0:54) WOG
Sarge had many problems...became a heavy, heavy gambler and drinker in the 70's...very bright guy...but got suicidal and about lost his business in 1978
....may have lost it or done away with himself after that. He was definitely a mental case...but I liked him...

(7/8/97 0:54) redbeard 
Nutt...You need a Clue???

(7/8/97 0:54) ethan
nutt: do you do them in order? I only have 3 and 4

(7/8/97 0:55) kathy47 
Well guys signing off, if it wasn't for this headache I would work on the t-shirt thing now, guess I'll just wait till tomarrow. Night all!!!!!

7/8/97 0:57) nutt
you come to indy redbeaRD AND YOU WILL HAVE SOME PEANUTS.

(7/8/97 0:57) WOG
Hey redbeard, here's your chance to unseat nutt! Turn your own answers in!

(7/8/97 0:56) nutt
redbeard, a clue defintely will help.

(7/8/97 0:56) redbeard 
Nutt...trade a clue for some peanuts!!!


 JUNE 21, 1997
(6/21/97 22:06) Briny
Haven't gotten to it yet. I don't know how I could improve on what WOG wrote...
 
(6/21/97 22:07) PMS*red 
Okay WOG...get me tickets.....Can I put all the info up in WOGstock? Or would you rather keep it quiet?
 
(6/21/97 22:07) kathy47 
hi guys, it's just me!

(6/21/97 22:07) WOG
Sorry for the trouble...you may find that they are the same, and that you already had the versions I just sent...whatever...I made no major changes, PMS...just was
trying to find out what I had....don't let it take much of your time...(briny's not in any of them, anyway!)
 
(6/21/97 22:08) WOG
Briny....everyone has a point of view, and, trust me, this gang would welcome a relieft from WOG for a change! Try it....put your impressions and feelings down....we
will love them...look at how nice Bear did, showing her point of view....but it doesn't have to be an essay....and see Kathy's nice piece....just right from her heart...that is what it all should be...

(6/21/97 22:08) PMS*red 
Hi kathy...sorry i didn't write back to tell you that I put your story up...I was too busy putting your story up....

 (6/21/97 22:09) kathy47 
Wog, found an artilcle from the Chi.Sun Times its an interview with R.B.Morris, if you are interested? If so, e-mail me your address and I will mail it off to you.
 
(6/21/97 22:09) PMS*red 
Wog...any more I just click and load and then merge....it's very simple... the last nine segments you sent me took about 45 minutes...in the old days it would have taken
me 16 hours and lots of crying....
 
(6/21/97 22:10) PMS*red 
Yeah Briny....besides...WOG needs something to read.....It doesn't have to be anything big....just share your feelings....ask Kathy...it was fun to sit down and relive the
night
 
(6/21/97 22:10) WOG
You have my permission, PMS---it's simple...the only ones invited are EVERYONE who lurks or comes into the room from the shadows...I have found 100% to be
great people, and only wish some lived a little closer....but the invite goes to all, with spouses and brats if necessary....
 
(6/21/97 22:10) Briny
Looking forward to reading your review, K47! I'll give it a go. Probably won't be till next week - busy the rest of the weekend.
 
(6/21/97 22:12) PMS*red 
Okay....then will you send me your address to the house again and I can add a map. You don''t really want te be responsible for a bunch of tickets do you? I mean the
ones you are sure of is one thing but what about the ones you don't know who will expect to get a ticket form you?
 
(6/21/97 22:12) WOG
That's longer, PMS, than it takes to write them! Kathy, that would be nice...or maybe PMS would like it on her shrine somewhere...the fringe page, perhaps...RB--Phil--
 
(6/21/97 22:12) Briny
Gotta go put my wife to bed - back in a bit!!!
 
(6/21/97 22:13) kathy47 
By the by Reeda, did you get me e-mail?

(6/21/97 22:13) kathy47 
Sure upsets me, after I sent that off to you Reeda, I thought of a zillion more things to say, although I'm sure I got my point across.
 
(6/21/97 22:15) WOG
Yes to your ticket question, PMS...at the moment SM says he has mailed a check for four of the tickets...which I'll mail to him...I'm using three...that leaves three...but
if I have money by Wednesday afternoon I'll also buy other tickets for anyone wishing them....and on yours, PMS, I can let mine go so you have four together
....and
pick up mine when I'm there later...(i'm treating my two kids in that town to the show)
 
(6/21/97 22:15) PMS*red 
Hate to say it but I had to pull my Chicago articles....gotta have permission and I've written all the editors so I can put the ones I bought back up. Kathy...
I'm starting an Phil and RB segment in WOG's page.....so send it to me....maybe I can find a link and make it legal.....these newspapapers get a bit hinky
when you reproduce their sruff...as I'm finding out
 
(6/21/97 22:16) PMS*red 
Kathy...thee is always room for part deaux.....
no e-mail from you today....

(6/21/97 22:24) PMS*red 
How's the pool? or the pond?
 
(6/21/97 22:17) PMS*red 
WOG...just hold them...don't send them to me....give them to me when we meet again....okay....I won't sit anyway....as long as there is 4 seat....
maybe your grandkids
and my kids will get along????

 (6/21/97 22:18) WOG
I will work up easy, full directions to my house the week before we meet, and will send it as an attachment to virtually everyone who says they are coming.
I am only three turns off interstate 70, so it will be easy to find....

(6/21/97 22:19) WOG
My grandkids aren't going...yeah...the one up there will be at a baby sitter, 'cause his mother, my daughter, will be with us. But the night before and night after...? He's 5 years old..

(6/21/97 22:20) PMS*red 
WOG....I'm going to sit on stage this time...no need for a ticket....I think I'll wear black and spay paint "BOSE" across my chest....they'll never know that I'm not a
speaker....unless someone messes with my knobs.....
 
(6/21/97 22:20) WOG
Kathy, I hope you are coming....I could use a couple-three more of those great hugs, kid!

(6/21/97 22:21) WOG
(Briny's been gone almost 10 minutes....he's a better lover than I would have thought....)
 
(6/21/97 22:21) PMS*red 
WOG....did you invite John ?
 
(6/21/97 22:22) Briny
Great!! Briny kisses his wife goodnight and comes back to comments on his sexual prowess. And I thought this was a family chat line...
 
(6/21/97 22:22) PMS*red 
10 minutes!!!! aw he's probably showering by now....
 
(6/21/97 22:22) PMS*red 
Also....need a list of what we'll need.....
should we bring tents?
 
 
(6/21/97 22:23) PMS*red 
and how do you suppose families get started .....
 
(6/21/97 22:23) WOG
Don't you just wish....,Bose
Yes, I asked Mitch, who makes the arrangements...a polite "no"...."John used to do that in the old days. Now he wants that room service and the drinks...."
 
(6/21/97 22:23) PMS*red 
maybe takeing a quick nap.....
 
(6/21/97 22:24) PMS*red 
You asked Mitch? hell go straight to the top Alpo head....
 
(6/21/97 22:24) Briny
How much are tickets, WOG??? I'm interested - still can't commit to coming, but will commit the cash and have you hold the ticket. That way, if I can't go, you can treat somebody else!
 
(6/21/97 22:24) WOG
Sleeping bags, or blankets...it's August, and I have air...I have tons of towels, and we can keep the washer-dryer going to keep them fresh...
 
(6/21/97 22:24) kathy47 
Reeda better check your e-mail, I checked what I sent and it did go to you. If you can't find it let me know? And to you Wog, Tom thought he had off those days, but he discovered he doesn't. So, he'll have to see if he can arrange for some more days off.

(6/21/97 22:24) PMS*red 
How's the pool? or the pond?
 
(6/21/97 22:24) PMS*red 
You asked Mitch? hell go straight to the top Alpo head....

(6/21/97 22:25) WOG
PMS isn't gonna mention it....you guys notice she went over 10,000 this week? (And put a counter on mine which, when I checked, was -2...!) Boy!

(6/21/97 22:26) PMS*red 
Yeah...isn't that too cool WOG....10,000 prinesters....I kinda think it's 100 prinesters coming back for more many many times....

(6/21/97 22:27) WOG
Pond...the ducks left...too murky...Briny...treat who? Some old lady picking up aluminum cans by the chain-link fence outside? You buy it, you're going...even if we
have to drive down and get you!
 
 (6/21/97 22:27) Briny
I saw that the momentous event occurred!!! Ten grand, RED - that's really cool! I tried to e-mail Phil at the address on your page, WOG (or RED - whoever) Haven't
gotten a response though...

 (6/21/97 22:28) Briny
I love you, man!! How much?? where do I send the cabbage???
 
(6/21/97 22:28) PMS*red 
I took all the scrolling stuff off...that stuff is neat but geez it really slowed down the page....i know an old geezer like you probably nodded offf a couple of times before it loaded...

(6/21/97 22:29) PMS*red 
I wrote him too....but I didn't know what to say... Sara Campbell wrote me sveral times this week .... just to tell me she was a nice girl....
She sounds pretty cool....guess she just made a mistake at Strawberry
 
(6/21/97 22:29) kathy47 
Wog what town did you say you lived in?
 
(6/21/97 22:30) WOG
Phil's on the road....although Jason told me he's spotted Phil with a notebook....and he's on AOL, which holds down the long-distance costs.
We WILL see Phil some evening....hey....we could invite him over....maybe he'd play rhythm for SM....if SM brings his guitar....he's got some great stuff, and Phil
would pick it up immediately....yeah, that's it....hoosier hootenanny....
 
(6/21/97 22:31) Briny
I might bring my guitar too. That would pretty much guarantee that the ducks would never come back, but maybe I could get a free lesson??
 
 
(6/21/97 22:33) WOG
Actually, the pool is leaking and yesterday was at about half-full, but the kids loved it....should be fixed by then, however....
 
(6/21/97 22:33) PMS*red 
Kathy...I loved your review!!! sao much that I didn't waste any time putting it up. And I saw your letter....I hate it when you do that to me....geez.....the poor mailman
beter have on his armor....cause I work later on monday and will be home when the mail arrives........I can't wait....
 
(6/21/97 22:33) Briny
In my note to Phil, I thanked him for the great show and mentioned that I was interested im buying some of his music. I wanted to say "you're a god!!!" but that would be a bit tacky, no?
 
(6/21/97 22:35) Briny
Great, now I know where to send $______ to buy a ticket. Fill in the blank, WOG.
 
(6/21/97 22:35) WOG
Phil's just an alright guy, isn't he, Kathy....I think he will appreciate your comments, briny. We're all human, and even the pros like to
hear a little encouragement once in a while...
 
(6/21/97 22:36) WOG
nutt, set down that damned can and start typing...we know you are lurking,,,I can hear you drooling...good evening!

(6/21/97 22:37) Briny
Who else is lurking?? This is a great time to show yourself...
 
(6/21/97 22:37) PMS*red 
Lets plan meals.....
shall we send extra money for a grocery trip? Or should we group people and have them cook?
 
(6/21/97 22:37) WOG
Tickets are $28.50....if I am out or can't get back up, I'll return the check/mo/cash so you can go through Ticket Master...a little more, but the seats will all be the
same....everyone bring their binoculars! (6/21/97 22:47) PMS*red 
Oh man WOG...I hate ciggers on the butt....I hope you mow before we get there.....and maybe dig a hole for the ladies?????
 
(6/21/97 22:38) Briny
Im willing to shop/cook when we get there. How far to the nearest store?
 
 (6/21/97 22:38) WOG
Kathy's story doesn't even mention her visit with Phil...she talked at length with the keyboard whiz...
 
(6/21/97 22:39) Briny
Phil is a great guy, huh K47? WOG talked to him for a while while I stood there and nodded... Almost like I was part of the whole thing.
 
(6/21/97 22:40) WOG
I'll figure on getting a gob of beer, wine, and pop, and maybe some meat....we'll just play it by ear....may wish to go to Indy early that day and eat out...
but I hope everyone makes it a day early and stays all day Sunday and PM...we'll just play it by ear, unless one of you LADIES wishes to take charge....please, please!

(6/21/97 22:41) WOG
The nearest store is a competitor of mine, so we'll go to mine! It's about 4-5 miles away, max. I promised to show it to SM, who is a manager in one in TN.
 
(6/21/97 22:41) kathy47 
Yup, you just tell them how ya feel and they do appreciate what you have to say, and always politely followed by a thankyou. Both times that I have had the opportunity
to talk to Phil, he listened for some reason you kinda don't expect that, but they are human just as we are. Reeda wanna hear something cool, thanks to Wog.
Wog told me Phil liked the Taz, so I gave Phil the pic of the Taz in my art room, and he had me sign the back of it, now if that wasn't a old switcheroo. I told Phil I would make one for him to put on his speakers with the Taz playing a squeeze box. He said if I send him one, I will see it on stage everytime, cooooooooool, huh.
 
(6/21/97 22:43) PMS*red 
Kathy...that is AWESOME!!!
 
(6/21/97 22:43) Briny
I think I can handle a 4-5 mile drive after making it up there!!! I really am planning to come - it's a busy time, but I think I can do it.
 
(6/21/97 22:44) PMS*red 
WOG>>>I only make meatloaf....maybe briny and I can make ours.....and kill everyone....how many bathrooms does this place have?
 
(6/21/97 22:44) Briny
YOu going to WOGstock K47??
 
(6/21/97 22:44) WOG
Tonight as I write, I listen to Phil's tape...it has gone around a couple times now....I do enjoy it...
 
(6/21/97 22:45) WOG
You mean...like...inside stuff??

(6/21/97 22:46) PMS*red 
This is going to be great
WOG...maybe we'll have to do an official retireing of the ALPO cap and get you something cooler....
 
(6/21/97 22:47) WOG
2 baths....one upstairs that is large enough for all the women, probably....double sinks, a separate tub and shower...but no doors on the bathroom....downstairs a
tub/shower combo, one double bed, and plenty of floor room all over the house. We can sleep easily 20 up and 20 down...if you don't swing your arms when you sleep...
 
(6/21/97 22:47) Briny
I'm IN on the meatloaf! I also cook a mean chinese over the BBQ coals - I'll bring my wok...

(6/21/97 22:48) WOG
Cooler...? Like maybe a serial-numbered Green Bay Super Bowl Cap? Tell 'em, Kathy!
 
(6/21/97 22:48) Briny
Retire the hat???? We can't let that happen. It means so much to so many of us (and he HATES it so....).
 
(6/21/97 22:49) kathy47 
Reeda did Wog tell you what Tom and I bought him? Now lets see if he retires that cap that won't go around his head.
 
(6/21/97 22:50) PMS*red 
Is it in the story? She got you a super BOWL cap? hmmmm maybe a Super Bowl to put the Alpo in for the lost dogs???????
 
(6/21/97 22:50) WOG
You wouldn't say that if YOU had a pointed head...

(6/21/97 22:51) kathy47 
SUPER BOWL CAP I may add! We decided that an ALPO cap is not suitable for a legend! I hope you guys know that you are keeping from my work, put in a new
floor in there today. Ya, hubby never knows what he'll come home to.
 
(6/21/97 22:51) WOG
The band is off now....Phil might be lurking as we speak....
 
(6/21/97 22:51) PMS*red 
This is gonna be so great....
 
(6/21/97 22:52) Briny
We gotta get Bear out there...
 
(6/21/97 22:53) WOG
I received a contribution in the mail today for Bear's trip....
 
(6/21/97 22:54) PMS*red 
Seriously...how much would it take to get Bear out here?

(6/21/97 22:54) Briny
You're gonna get some money for a ticket for me with a little for the bear too! I'm sending it Monday.

(6/21/97 22:55) kathy47 
Wog I'd like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart, thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
(6/21/97 22:56) Briny
I second K47's sentiments WOG. You made my whole trip. It's nice to know I have relatives I never knew existed. I really want to meet the rest of them...
 
(6/21/97 22:56) Squirrel 
Hi Y"all. Count me in on a contribution for Bear's trip , or is this really for the engagement ring??????
 
 (6/21/97 22:57) Briny
Hi, Squirrel. Are you going to WOGstock???
 
(6/21/97 22:59) WOG
Don't send ME the money...send it to her...with your address in case she doesn't come...so she can send it back! If she starts saving now, charges it
immediately on her card, it'll go through at cheap rates and be paid for by the time it all happens.....where is that fuzzy thing?
 
(6/21/97 23:00) kathy47 
Gees' Wog really in a bind don't really know if we can make this one, we have to be in Michigan 10 days later for JPs concert. But we will really consider it,
so if we do go we will by our tickets through ticket master, even though I can't stand them.

(6/21/97 23:01) Briny
That reminds me of a joke I heard. What kind of panties does RED wear - bikini or briefs?
 
(6/21/97 23:01) WOG
Thank you, Briny and Kathy....I hope you both realize this wasn't just a one-sided pleasure....I have been meeting the nicest people.,...and it started with RED
,,,my first....hey...PMS...you probably didn't get to read my thingy....MaryMc was there on the 17th, so I had an unexpected pleasure there, too! She's sweet....and pretty!
 
(6/21/97 23:01) PMS*red 
I'm peeing my pants.....
 
 (6/21/97 23:02) Briny
depends...
 
(6/21/97 23:02) WOG
Oh, yeah, PMS....I put it in one piece...I met Brian Frains, too....nice kid...
 
 (6/21/97 23:02) PMS*red 
Hey anybody here make t-shirts? We could have a WOGstock/PrineSrine/Oh Boy t-shirt printed up....
 
(6/21/97 23:02) kathy47 
Boy Wog I didn't hear you say that I was pretty?

(6/21/97 23:03) PMS*red 
thongs.....my underwear always crept up my butt...so I started wearing the kind that belongs there and it doesn't creep anymore......

(6/21/97 23:04) kathy47 
Reeda you speak the truth!
 
(6/21/97 23:04) Briny
Watch it, you'll make everybody's socks hard...
 
(6/21/97 23:04) WOG
Everybody knows YOU"RE a fox, Kathy....I don't hug someone three times if they're...well...like PMS, for example....(I just shook her hand....)
 
(6/21/97 23:05) Briny
He didn't hug me either, but that's OK. While I'm secure in my heterosexuality, I certainly didn't need to test it on the streets of Bham with a crow looking on...
 
(6/21/97 23:05) WOG
I hate cotton undies, PMS...
 
(6/21/97 23:05) PMS*red 
WOG.... you've had so much fun...your the perfect abassador of Prine
Briny.....ha ha ha ha ha ha h a
 
(6/21/97 23:06) PMS*red 
Hey....I hugged her a bunch too
WOG....and then you wiped your hand on your pants after you did shake it....what...are you afraid of a little booger residue????
 
(6/21/97 23:06) Briny
Uh, that's a CROWD looking on...
 
(6/21/97 23:06) WOG
yeah....but I did TOUCH you a lot, briny...

(6/21/97 23:07) WOG
Didn't think you noticed the quick wipe, PMS...sorry you had to see it...
 
(6/21/97 23:07) Briny
WOG!!! I thought we decided to keep that a secret...
 
(6/21/97 23:08) kathy47 
Well guys it sure has been fun, but I do have work in the kitchen waiting for me and a baby laying at my feet, been babysitting all day for all the grandkids, actually I'm surprised I got so much done today. Will miss all you guys andd talk at ya Monday. Reeda watch your mail!!!!!!!!
 
(6/21/97 23:09) WOG
Kathy....10 days between concerts is plenty of time to walk to the next one...I just don't think we can accept that answer. If you don't want to come, just say so...I'll
admit my table manners lack a bit of finnesse, but the skills I've developed eating without hands or silverware are downright amazing to more than just a few...
 
(6/21/97 23:09) Briny
Bye K47!! Hope to chat with you on monday - Think I'm gonna start the Prine Trivia contest...
 
(6/21/97 23:10) PMS*red 
Thanks Kathy....now I'm going to go nuts for 2 days
I always knew you kinda liked Briny....WOG....
 
(6/21/97 23:10) WOG
Babysits by laying the kid on the floor under her feet? Geez, Kathy...
 
(6/21/97 23:10) Briny
You should see him consume a Humdinger!!!
 
(6/21/97 23:11) Briny
Birds sit on em, what is your problem, WOG?
 
(6/21/97 23:11) Squirrel 
WOG< if you're looking for Bear, she's got her Father's Memorial Thing happening today. So, she's probably not home yet. It was from 2-6 our time which means it ended about two hours ago. I think she lives more than 2 hours from me & her Dad lived just down the road from me
 
(6/21/97 23:11) kathy47 
Well wog as my hubby was going over his schedule, he said maybe he will ask off. So I think it's a bigggggggg, maybe------so don't worry. Tata
 
(6/21/97 23:12) WOG
That's bacon....Reeda's place calls 'em something else, probably....but a quarter pound of ground round is still a burger when it gets downtown...
 
(6/21/97 23:13) Squirrel 
Where is WOGstock.. I haven't been around much lately. But, I do have a coupla of nice pictures of Wog from Strawberry that I received in the mail this week. He
wears a thong!!!!!!! No, just kidding
 
(6/21/97 23:13) WOG
I'm just gender-confused
 
(6/21/97 23:13) PMS*red 
I gotta go make a WOGstock logo....
gotta make a WOGstock page....
gotta add wog's reviews.....
gotta get this chat up....
(gotta go change my pants and switch chairs)
 
(6/21/97 23:14) Briny
WOG - would it be better for you if I bought my ticket from ticketmaster?? I don't want to put you in a bind. I know how much you are already doing for this thing. I've been practicing...
Hello, my name is Briny. I'll be your server tonight. Can I get you something from the bar?
Thought I'd try to help you out by offering my services...

(6/21/97 23:14)WOG
Thomas Edison likeness with a tiny red cap and a tent in the background with speakers outside will do fine as a logo, PMS
 
(6/21/97 23:16) Briny
I still haven't developed my pictures yet. I'm so lazy. Mostly, I'm scared, cause I was using a new flash and new film. It didn't have a speed - supposed to set itself for the optimuum speed or something... I hope they come out!!!!
 
(6/21/97 23:16) WOG
I can buy the tickets fine...just don't wish to get stuck with any! I imagine the TM will charge up to $5 in various fees....but I will be up in Indy again Thursday, and will buy any additional that I've received money for....and I will most certainly be up there still another time, before then....no big rush...

(6/21/97 23:24) PMS*red 
yeah...Wog asked John if he would sign a hundred dollar bill ... John said "Sure" and then WOG asked him if he had one.....What a doofus
 
(6/21/97 23:17) PMS*red 
Squirrel...I'll have a whole WOGstock article up with everything you need soon.....so you wont need any pencil and paper....
 
 (6/21/97 23:17) WOG
You may be too tired to serve, Professor...the yard mowing may take it all out of you earlier...
 
(6/21/97 23:17) redbeard 
WOGstock???? Will John be flying in on a copter??? Hello Prineheads!!!!
 
(6/21/97 23:18) Briny
I'll send the cash (plus enough for a beer for your trouble) on Monday - that way you can't get stuck paying for mine if I get stuck here. If I can't go (and you don't have somebody to use it) I expect to get it back with Prine's signature on it...
 
(6/21/97 23:18) WOG
Hiya, redbeard! Nice to see you! Coming to Indiana in August?

(6/21/97 23:19) Briny
Hi, Redbeard!
 
(6/21/97 23:19) redbeard 
Give me the deatails.....just a short drive....
You can count on it!!!

(6/21/97 23:20) Briny
Would love to get Jason's e-mail...
 
 (6/21/97 23:20) WOG
John will not be there, John will not leave the building...but I'll ask the other guys....IF I see them between now and then.
John is taking off for Ireland for July, and the guys will be scattered back to their own homes...Jason has e-mail but I didn't think to ask him his address....he's down the road, in Bloomigton...
 
 (6/21/97 23:21) WOG
John's signature on a bill? PMS likes to tell about me wanting to get him to sign a $100 bill...but he didn't have one on him...
 
(6/21/97 23:22) PMS*red 
This is going to be so great.....we better bring tents ..... oh hell who is really going to sleep?
 
(6/21/97 23:22) Briny
I want his signature on a duck's bill. THink he has one of those?

(6/21/97 23:23) WOG
I've said it before on a Monday night...and I'll predict it again....nothing wrong with being wrong except it makes you suicidal. Jason and/or Phil may drop in this
Monday....they're both back home...both off the road...both know where we are....both have computers...both have lurked....!(Course, I heard today that Pete Rose expects to get into the hall of fame, and he's giving 7-5 odds on it....)

(6/21/97 23:23) Briny
I'm bringing a tent for sure. You have 51 acres, right? That means I can get far enough away not to keep everybody else awake with my snoring.

(6/21/97 23:23) redbeard 
Hi Briny..How is lfe on the Plains..... Sounds like Wog & yourself had a time in B'ham...We had a GREAT DAY in DC!!!

(6/21/97 23:23) Squirrel Tryntomakedinner@garlic.com
Mr. Squirrel just had a question for the Prinesters..He would like an interpretation of the chorus for Jesus, The missing years. Anyone game????????

(6/21/97 23:25) WOG
Naw, the acreage is here, where I am now...there's just a lot in the city at where we will all be...and there will be room inside for all who wish to sleep inside, and room outside for tents galore, should that be your bent...

(6/21/97 23:26) redbeard 
SO...tents it is.....WOGstock!!!
 
(6/21/97 23:26) Briny
Redbeard - WOG had GREAT things to say about DC and you guys. I really hope to meet you in IN!!! We had a great time - well, I did anyway!!! I was there for all 3 days of the festival and each day was better than the previous. I was sorry to see the old geezer drive off...
 
(6/21/97 23:27) Briny
You crack me up, WOG!! Is the money still in it?...
 
 (6/21/97 23:27) WOG
briny, you'll get the wallet back...I can't help that it fell out of your suitcase and under my seat...

(6/21/97 23:28) PMS*red 
Okay...everybody with great ideas...or bad ideas...about WOGstock...let me know....I'm going to start working on a page to keep us all informed and man this is really going to be fun....
 
(6/21/97 23:28) WOG
I hope bluz decides to make the trek over, too....redbeard, you'll have the shortest to go, including me...I'm 220 miles from that house...and you are about 150, max! You know that Greg and Rick are welcome, too, don't you?
 
(6/21/97 23:29) Briny
Let's see... Charlie bought some popcorn. THat might not be menat to be taken literally. Could be a reference to any agricultural product, really, not just maize products...

(6/21/97 23:30) WOG
Yeah, but someone almost bought the farm...
 
(6/21/97 23:30) PMS*red 
I can't do this alone...now let me know of anything we need to organize...we can't layit all on WOG.....
 
(6/21/97 23:30) WOG
I think all would agree, PMS, that meeting you will be one of the highlights of the weekend. Even Mr. Prine will rejoice when he finds out you will be dropping in on him again!

(6/21/97 23:31) WOG
Hey, PMS....let's elect Terry Fest Plan Manager! Find a shiny badge somewhere....come on, do it!
 
(6/21/97 23:31) redbeard 
WOG...they had a great time at the Trap... they are working out the details to try & make the trip...we love camping out...even if it is in
backyard...sometimes the wifes make us sleep outback!!!!!!
 
 (6/21/97 23:32) WOG
redbeard, I have it on good authority that briny'd be out there himself tonight if he'd spent 10 seconds less with his lady earlier this evening...
 
(6/21/97 23:32) Briny
Billy bought a car. Hmmm. popcorn and a car. Makes me thing of the great compromise... "You know I could'a beat up that fella, but is was her that hopped into his car..." Someone almost bought the farm, but it didn't go that far... Sounds suspiciously familiar to me...
 
(6/21/97 23:32) PMS*red 
yeah right...short stumpy redhead...boogery hands and a weird odor....you guys will get over meeting me in a flash....
 
(6/21/97 23:33) PMS*red 
Terry thinks we're nuts and this is weird....
Okay....i'll do it......but can I have that property when the stock is over? i might need a place to live.....

(6/21/97 23:34) Briny
What makes you think I'm not in the garage right now?
 
(6/21/97 23:34) WOG
PMS, you know we all love you...bumps and all...and boils...and little bitty scabs...and funny-looking growths....I can't go on...
 
(6/21/97 23:35) WOG
so, redbeard...what do you remember most in meeting John?
 
(6/21/97 23:36) PMS*red 
Thanks WOG....you always say the sweetest things....(she slaps him upside his little pointy head)
 
(6/21/97 23:36) redbeard 
Wog...I will be there...late tuesday nite work will keep in the birthplace of flight until around 8pm...Let me know what I can do???
 
(6/21/97 23:37) nutt
what's going on guys
 
(6/21/97 23:37) Briny
What's the date of the show?
 
 (6/21/97 23:37) WOG
Tuesday night I may still be on the road from Canada....!
 
 (6/21/97 23:38) PMS*red 
Okay...I must leave and get all theis WOGstock put together....
Briny we can plan your trivia contest at WOGstock too if there is enough time to do such things......
 
(6/21/97 23:38) redbeard 
Can't remember if meeting John or You was better!!!
 
 (6/21/97 23:38) WOG
I thought Wilbur and Orville were from North Carolina, not Sofa, IA...
 
 (6/21/97 23:39) redbeard 
WOG..You need to check the history books...Wright-pat AFB...Wright state U...the brothers built bikes here...
 
 (6/21/97 23:39) nutt
when is this happening WOG
 
 (6/21/97 23:39) WOG
Hiya, nutt! We were just trying to get up the nerve to ask you to cook at Wogfest. Peanuts for supper would hit the spot, uh huh, oh yeah....
 

 (6/21/97 23:40) PMS*red 
Hey...why doesn't everybody bring something native to thir hometown.....Like I could bring corn.....
 
(6/21/97 23:40) WOG
Let me help you on that one, you redheaded diplomat(redbeard, not PMS)--is everyone on here redheaded?
 
 (6/21/97 23:40) Briny
MMMM! Peanuts! I love em with cold beer!!

(6/21/97 23:40) Briny
I'm baldheaded... mostly.

(6/21/97 23:41) Briny
I could bring chitlins... On second thought, this theme thing might not be so good, Red...
 
(6/21/97 23:41) WOG
You are right, of course...sort of...birthplace is outside Blountsville, IN....their old house is a shrine of sorts, with an historic marker....guess Kitty Hawk is just the hill they jumped from....on the road to the sewing machine factory...
 
(6/21/97 23:41) nutt
i could bring the nutts

(6/21/97 23:42) WOG
I'll bring a hillbilly, then

(6/21/97 23:43) PMS*red 
how about Liver niflins?
 
 (6/21/97 23:43) PMS*red 
Okay...we have a little time to plan....I'll start the first draft of what i have for Wogstock and you all help me with adding stuff...okay.....i only have one braincell and i could really screw this up.....
 
 (6/21/97 23:43) WOG
Can't do that....ex-inlaws don't speak to me anymore...
 
(6/21/97 23:43) Briny
The hillbilly could eat the chitlins - cause I'm not gonna. I did that once (NEVER AGAIN...).
 
 (6/21/97 23:44) Briny
Liver what???
 
(6/21/97 23:44) WOG
They're good....when you are done, you run your hands through your hair and can comb it for the next three weeks, and dogs are super friendly, too...
 
(6/21/97 23:44) Briny
Yer wun branesell is biggern my hole brane, redd.
 
(6/21/97 23:45) WOG
Keep it simple, PMS...the best things happen spontaneously...'cept combustion...ask MJL>..
 
(6/21/97 23:45) nutt
Briny, anyone who could carve up a live animal ought to be able to eat a chitlin
 
(6/21/97 23:45) Briny
Liver niflin - wasn't that one of the more obscure smurfs?
 
(6/21/97 23:45) redbeard 
WOG..I will bring Swine&Dine...
