AllenLowe Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 just got back from NYC where I spent some interesting and enlightening time with Chris Albertson, Matt Shipp, Roswell Rudd, Marnie Stern, 7/4 and Julianne Moore - difficult times here on Organissimo, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, cancer, missing jewel boxes - hope everybody's ok - I'm tired, and it was about 100 degrees in NYC, where I walked everywhere to save cab fare; trying to shoot my film - things went well - in case anyone's wondering, I ran into Julianne Moore at Portland Airport, where she was taking her son home from camp - I was standing next to her on line at Starbucks; I said to her - "I know you're an actress, and I apologize, but I cannot think of your name." She was very gracious, though that didn't stop her from calling the cops when I tried to steal a pair of her underpants from her suitcase - Quote
Niko Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 got a letter, please apply again in 3009, better than nothing but not very useful at the moment... Quote
jazzbo Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Okay I confess. . . all the depressing things have stopped happening to me finally. . . the only real issue is my mom's health which is being addressed as best as possible. Really good things are happening to me now. Makes it hard to hang out at this depressing place! (Just kidding). Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 well, as somebody used to say, "reality is for people who can't face drugs." Quote
Neal Pomea Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I ran into Julianne Moore at Portland Airport, where she was taking her son home from camp Hello muddah! Quote
Christiern Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 in case anyone's wondering, I ran into Julianne Moore at Portland Airport, where she was taking her son home from camp - I was standing next to her on line at Starbucks; I said to her - "I know you're an actress, and I apologize, but I cannot think of your name." She was very gracious, though that didn't stop her from calling the cops when I tried to steal a pair of her underpants from her suitcase - You tried to steal the Moore undies? Then how do you explain the undies I found stuffed into the horn of my gramophone... BTW, today's temp and humidity shows a slight improvement. Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 hmmmm....well, as long as you don't send it for DNA testing - Quote
papsrus Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Really good things are happening to me now. This is really good to know. I had some fairly depressing things going on earlier this year, too. Not a lot of fun. But it's largely passed now, and some really good stuff has been coming my way lately as well. ... The rhythms of life, I guess. (but I can pretend to be depressed I guess). Edited July 23, 2008 by papsrus Quote
bruce talbot Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 hey - at least they got Karadzic....that's the best news since I can't remember when. Quote
AndrewHill Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Something good just happened-I found a deal in town: five jewel boxes for a $1 Quote
Robert J Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Re - Moore Allen - you could have said the word "vagina" to her and she wouldn't have been offended. Quote
BeBop Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I'm bummed to see people selling off their recorded music to meet expenses. I can only hope to be spared that unpleasantness...knock wood (or whatever the expression is). To all experiencing this or other hardships, I wish you well. Quote

I've been there, so I can relate. When things get tough, the priority of retaining an OOP Mosaic set is eclipsed by its cold, hard, dollar value. I didn't really need all of those big black boxes cluttering up my shelves anyway. Quote

BeBop Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 ...not that parting with my CDs/LPs would be worse than a car accident, cancer or ??? Quote

sidewinder Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 That's the stuff. A bit of positivism ! Quote

Jazzmoose Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I'm bummed to see people selling off their recorded music to meet expenses. It hurts. But I try to think of the fun I'll have rebuilding eventually... Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 I would consider selling my music an honor as long as it went toward keeping Dick Cheney living well - Quote
jazzypaul Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I would consider selling my music an honor as long as it went toward keeping Dick Cheney living well - I had to read that right after I took a tug off my can of iced tea. both me and my monitor thank you very much right about now. Quote

Why should it concern you though? Be like Lowe, cry for the jewel boxes instead. uhhh, this is a music board. People take their music very seriously around these parts. How would you feel if you had to sell some Scott Hamilton CD's to make ends meet? Or some precious piece of Red Sox minutia? I may not be a fan of either, but I'd still feel bad for you if you had to go that route. I had to sell all of my Richard Dworsky CD's. It crushed me, I tell you... Quote

Why should it concern you though? Be like Lowe, cry for the jewel boxes instead. Well, you and others have obviously spent a great deal of time and effort collecting all this great music. It's good that Organissimo board members are being given an opportunity to acquire this music for generous prices, but I'd much prefer people not have to sell off OOP Mosaics and entire collections of CDs. ... Truthfully, I've almost PM'd you and others a couple of times to place a purchase, but it just doesn't feel right. If you have to do it, I'd rather you sell it on eBay for top dollar. (Unless your motivation is due to space issues, which, considering the whole jewel case controversy, may well be the case, for all I know) Quote
