You got it up. Welcome.
Which graphic did you use?

It's not me.

Good choice, from Gallery 3.

I can have 11'" X 14" run off on card stock for about 0.85 a piece. The next time something is going on I think I'll run off a hundred and pass them out. I met some really interesting people with just the one. Walked up from Penn to 16th and K and had about ten people stop me to take my picture.

Had to wait in a stockade for over an hour to get in. Everyone had to be frisked. The picture really broke the ice.

Well done! Good for you.

Be sure to check out the whole gallery from POAC's front page for others that might "inspire" you.

Great link, thanks. I might join up.
I have several relatives in Ireland.
I may move there myself.
Several options.
I have draftable sons.
One of the few times being a Celt is an advantage.

I had a lot of good luck with this service when I was overseas. It even found jobs for me in france. I am told it's the primary agency in Ireland.

Different crackmonkey. Sorry.

I saw on the mod board that you are from Ojai. I lived for many years the hills above Santa Barbara. A place called Mountain Drive on Camino Cielo. One of my best friends lived in Ojai. I have another friend who wrote a book about the area called "Round Rock". It's actually the Ojai/Santa Paula area.

Good grief. I went to HS and coll. in SB and have spent time up Mountain Drive at many a "bad" party. Heh heh.
Ah yes, and I'm sure you've been to Joe's downtown....strongest drinks on the planet....with the exception of Harry's.
Used to eat on the pier all the time before the FIRST time it burned down. Nothing like a bowl of clam chowder after a long day surfing.
We called those two restaurants, The Harbor, and Moby Dick's .....obviously, because we we SO mature...The Hardon and Moby's Dick.

Were you in SB before or after they ruined State Street? Or both. I'm up there all the time...you know how close it is. A hop skip and a jump.
Did I ever give you a welcome graphic? If not, I've been remiss.

I remember when lower state, south of the lights on Highway 1, was nothing but warehouses. Before Fess Parkers stuff went in. The hotel one block up from the pier on state was just a flop house. I stayed there when I was in escrow for my house becuse it was cheap. It probably costs $300 per night now.

I used to go to Joes at the original location, before it moved up the street to Maggy McFly's. At that time I lived over on De La Vina right behind Head of the Wolf. This is when Earthling was still up on the corner of Victoria and State and and the Good Earth restaurant sat where Paseo de Nuevo now sits.

I used to eat at the Paradise Cafe when it was just a Burger and Chili joint. Before it got elegant.

I spent most of my adult life in that area. I am now somewhat sad to have sold out and moved.

Jeebus H. Cripes. I've lived at two DLV addys upper and then 600 block.
Yup, it was never the same once they moved Joe's. I liked to flit back and forth between Maggie's and Joe's. Paradise Cafe, yup.

I fought hard against Fess and his fucking hotel. Did you know the entire area in front of the whole hotel is city owned and technically for "people" to sit and have picnics. Daniel Boone took care of that....pristine lawns that look about as inviting to the general public as a cess pool. I reached my limit with SB when they started charging to park at the fucking beach. Assholes. No surf IN SB anyway just the touri. (My plural of tourists)
My parents paid $41,000 for a house near the mission with ten thousand down. Now that house is worth over a million five. They too moved out of that town.....ended up in Ojai too. Small. Friendly. Artsy. Lotta book stores for such a small town. I like that.

The area behind Fess's place by the old Icehouse was called "the jungle" and it's where the homeless lived. Can't have THEM seen in SB. The tourists might be shocked. I liked it before the building went insane.....slow growth my ass. Mecca for the wealthy.....hell for the poor.

I loved Earthling and I hate Paseo Nuevo. I NEVER buy anything...just look or have lunch with my pals but I saw Dustin Hoffman in there one day and I tower over him. He's short. His gf or whatever was my height. Interesting.
Living there and hanging around with a lot of music and art people in Montecito...the older areas have cool small houses, well you'd know that having been up on Mountain Drive....I lost all awe of celebs. Some of them are pigs. Some are nice. Most are in between.
The County Bowl is still my favorite venue for any live music.


And I LIKED the lights. Hate that cement corridor they put in instead. Idiots.

I couldn't afford to live there now.

People used to say that Santa Barbarans were unfriendly, and I sort of noticed this when I first moved there. After ten or twelve years however, I noticed that in public places I recognized the Santa Barbara people, at least by sight., and found the place to be very friendly. Anyone I didn't recognize was a tourist and I didn't waste my time talking to tourists. I think it takes about ten years to fit into the place.

I was talking to an old friend from back there this summer. All she could talk about was real estate. Hadn't talked to her in five years and she was obsessed with the housing market. No other topics of conversation. Apparenlty three bedroom tract homes in Goleta were sellling for $800,000. I'm kind of out of that scene now. It's expensive here in DC, but people don't talk about it constantly.

If you like the area, you should check out the south of france around Aix. Someplace like Rousset or around Trets. It looks exactly like SB. The area around Scofield park, but it costs much less. A medeival house in a village was about $150,000 when I left and a really nice stone villa with some land was around $350,000. The weather is like SB but it gets much colder at night during the winter. Aix really reminds me of Santa Barbara, about the same size and feel.

HAHA! I love it!

So why did JimRob pull the Hannity thread? Just makes him the laughing stock of the net. The purge is also pissing people off. True, it's Jim's site, but there has to be some semblence of debate. My theory is that Hannity is refering to the "kooks" in anticipation of a rival forum opening. JimRob's just going to launch a new LP that will make LP look tiny.

Don't see many flying monkeys anymore these days. How are Cal and Howlin doing over there?
