Ra-Joejoe-Phatty(shawn) Settin up- I need to get a damn scanner to put up all the pics of when I was with um throught Alaska- But thats a shot from their uberness now lol. Joey in his nose picking contemplativeness- I love Joe Joe is one of my personal Heroes hehe !! I miss you joejoe!! one of their mondo shows umm more recent lol (not quite the bars they used to play) lol. I remember building them stage lights out of coffee cans colored cellophane and flood lights lmao!!! *reminices dreamily* those were the days haha. So--- hmm the story with QED- I think I'm still under sworn silence to not say some of our story - But I will say- that in our little adventures together led to probably some of the best QED head stories ever haha.. I gotta call these guys. They are all famous and uber now - But- I miss them still. You can find me on the thankyou notes of the SFA (Searching for Adjectives) under the thankyous I'm the very very very last person in the thankyou (lol) Mel :) (Alaska) nuff said. Seriously awesome tunes you can find them at QED Music I'm gunna try to get ore of their tunes and stuff up on here :P and some more pics once i get a frikin scanner- but for now this works- To QED and the QEDheads around the world- I salute you. This is one of my themesongs haha so many awesome memories to this song! Bubblegum Rock Song!!

Unicycling I got my first Unicycle from an Antique flea market when I was like 9 years old. That thing rocked my world haha.. I think I have imppecable balance to this day because of that. I also got a pogo stick that day. I didnt like the pogo much lol. story for another time :P Banana Board- Tiny ass sumbiatches lol. I went from Unicycle to banaboard. I broke my tail bone shortly after I got the damn thing- but it brought me to my innate love for skating and yes I did keep skating after that- I dont skate anymore, sometimes I wish I did- but I still love the shit outta skating - and skaters for that matter *grin* which brings me to- The Hacky Sack well as most people know if you take a hippy spawn cross it with a tomboy skater girl youre going to wind up with- a girl on her ever-quest of the perfect hack lol. I still hacky- wanna go a round? :P

Frank Sinatra - At Long Last Love Right on Up there with Bing. I entirely blame my love for Ol' blue eyes on my grandparents , though to this day- I know my forever after guy (that Im still looking for) will love Frankie . lol . Dean Martin - You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You What can I say, yep Im a hopeless romantic and growing up to the legends like the rat pack (yeah I spent alot of time with my grandparents when I was little).. turned me into the big softy I am today. The beautiful thing though is at least grown up I can listen to Frankie and Dean and Bing at volume 10++ on my speakers now. Rat Pack - Birth Of The Blues-Recorded at The Kiel Opera House, St. Louis, MO, June 20, 1965 The guys are like a warm fuzzy to me. And the song "my way" will yep- be my song in death as well. One of the only keynotes in my will haha *must have My Way by Frank Sinatra played at my wake. Kinda sad aint it lol. Frank Sinatra-Tribute- My Way

Remember when this was the movie that we all watched to learn the "true meaning of Christmas?" Part 1- part 2- I honestly havent seen this myself in years.. and though I'm neither Christian, or really celebrate christmas- the morals of this cartoon still point out so many things that I think when cartoons and 'Hallmark holidays' evolved, were lost. Kids don't see things like this anymore. and We've no one to blame but ourselves. If you have kids - please get them this movie, or if you see it on tv this season make sure to sit down and watch it with them. The funny thing is - as a grown up, every year I have my own Charlie brown christmas tree :)

Waiting to see Santa- sure I wasn't a 50's baby , but I remember it wasn't so different than this growing up. Until these days. Mother can't just leave their kids standing in a line because of "stranger theiving". Instead kids bare brutal witness to Mothers at war with eachother in toy isles. {laughs} Though watching this brings back so many memories of this movie "A Christmas Story" This was THE Christmas movie. I think it still is to this day. mums still don't buy kids that bb gun (typically) unless they give the warning you becareful, or you'll shoot your eye out. So many great memories. The Pink bunny costume.. {lol} how many of us still have crazy aunts that give you crap like that.. that is when you just have to assure yourself (or your kids) that its the thought that counts anyway. {giggles} Kids do the meanest things. I have to admit- I did try this when I was little. who didn't I mean who didnt want to try it even more AFTER seeing this submlinial idea instilling movie?! The biggest let down. The truth when you find out about the reality is a "fan club". Damned those decoder rings you could get out of the cracker jack boxes. Damn them.. sublminal messaging in its finest hour. Damn them! so I couldnt find clips of the greatest scenes like the cursing with the soap (I experienced that in its finest from my grandmother) But I did find- a scene that yep- reminds me of my own "A Christmas Story - Chinese turkey,"That I have to this day. And then All was well.

White Christmas- Movie trailer Ever since the first time I ever saw the movie White Christmas when I must have been 5 years old or so I've had a deep seeded innate love for Bing Crosby. Sure at that age I didnt know how long ago the movie was made or that I would never meet him or for that matter he was already dead. But wow.. did I love Bing- and do to this day. That movie I have to say is probably what made me eventually go into Dance as a major in college next to theatre.. so much love for White Christmas, Bing, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye & Vera Ellen. Since Ive grown up I think Bing is the epidimy of sexiness in a man. I have no idea why - but his voice his talents his charisma charm and humanatarianism; laughter- thats the top of my personal pyramid. Bing Crosby - sings Moonlight Becomes You Bowie vs. Crosby - Little Drummer Boy Bing Crosby - sings White Christmas with Marjorie Reynolds

Last Concert- Shakedown Street performed at Soldier Field- Chicago Il. 7/9/95 Shakedown Street is probably one of my favorite "kinda funky" tunes to get down to. Pearly Baker a great Dead cover Band up in Mass. does one of the greatest covers of this song. So many great memories to this tune. Flashback- Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower 1972- 08-27-72 Old Renaissance Faire Grounds, Veneta, Or. (Sun) Springfield Creamery benefit - "Field Trip" I wasn't even born yet when this film was taken- But- I remember Dead shows like this as long as I can remember. Grateful Dead - Ramble On Rose - Europe 1972 Okay once again I wasn't alive yet when this film was made... BUT- The Europe 72 tour collection is by far my favorite collection ever. Ramble on Rose- is one of my theme songs to this day. I remember dancing to this song when I was 2 years old in a tie die little dress lol maybe someday when I get a scanner I'll post some baby pics :) gotta love hippy parents! Flash Forward-Not Fade AWAY 10.13.90 I did however see this one :) this actually was one of my first shows doing Nitrous :P I can't remember what count 90's shows had for me growing up following um for a bit etc.. but I do remember this same set in Seattle in 90' or maybe it was Eugene .. anyhoo.. Grateful Dead - El Paso - 6-26-94(in Acoustic) So 94' was a bad year for me.. The last time I saw the Dead play was this year. I shortly there after went to Jail. And thats the end of my Dead Story. But I have to say as far as The Dead go , they are anything but for me. To this day I realize I never would have been influenced into music or "gypsy'ing" the country were it not for the Dead and my damn Hippy parents who raised me up on them. I genuinely cried my eyes out when Jerry died. My world crumbled. But I dusted off shook it off- and backpacked the states again- without the Dead being anywhere near me except in my cd player ;) Grateful Dead - 6-26-94 - So Many Roads

Interview p1. Interview p2.

The video quality is horrible- but what can you expect really lol.. My Mom was John denvers biggest fan- I still have all his albums passed down to me from my mom :) This song still makes me cry. Above is Country Roads- way better video more recent- this is one of MY personal favorite songs- whenever I'm getting ready to go home I always listen to this song.. my little ritual lol
