BACK FROM THE BRIDGE
Finally I make it back to the World Wide Web. I was literally going crazy in San Francisco!! Running around like Johnny Tourist looking at Sea Lions, trams and bridges with my folks, and NO DSL in the hotel!! Purgatory!!! So let me see - what can I tell you .... first of all, the Podcast from last weeks show is up. It was a crazy CFR with phoners, in-studio guests and acoustic performances. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Kevin, our engineer who won the jacket, emailed me and said that he wants to Ebay the jacket and donate the proceeds to charity, so it looks like I'll be figuring that out soon. I'll put links up on the sites when we get that sorted out. And I can also tell you that hopefully our V2 Diablo site will go up tonight. I have always liked the idea of a website that changes look and feel every few months, so we now have a new look V2.0 ready to go. Check it out this evening.
CHECK OUT THIS LINK!.You gotta check this site out - 80's Videos!! Thanks to Warren for sending me this link, its really funny!
Terri - I find that 40 Camel Filters a day helps with a smooth skin tone. JUST KIDDING!! I dont really do very much. I use whatever Jen has lying around occasionally.
Paul - Backstage passes are given out to people actually working at a show, and friends of the band that come to see the show. Fooling security is a tough business ..... but not impossible.
Jezzi - Great questions. I think that I would like to try my hand at designing clothes. I think I could come up with some great stuff. Pig Farming would rank high up on the list of professions I would NOT wanna do!! And BOLLOCKS!! is my favorite cuss word.
Lisa - My all time favorite Adam And The Ants song would be Whip In My Valise, the song that NIN covered. Adam Ant solo song?..... Vive Le Rock.
John - NO ONE could be as into the World Cup as Jonsey!! But I do like it, and I am supporting England and the USA.
The Camp Freddy Vegas preparations are in full swing - I forgot how much work is involved!! I have been torn between spending time with my folks, and answering the tons of emails that come in every day regarding the show. But we are getting there - organizing the logistics and putting together the guests and the set lists. Now I remember why we only do this occasionally!! It'll be great to play again. Freddy shows, Diablo shows, Ozzfest shows ..... its gonna be a cool summer. OK - I need to get outta here. Think I'll take my ol' man shooting today. Thanks to everyone for sticking around - I cannot wait for Circus Diablo to start taking shape, rehearsing, gigging, getting the record out there. I'll see you all very soon. Oh, and while I remember, next weeks CFR will feature Dave and Matt, live from the LA Erotica Convention in downtown Los Angeles. And the following week we will not be on air, as Jonsey is having our slot to do some special live broadcast. So I will be back in two weeks time.
Peace
Billy

Tis better to take the old man shooting than shoot the old man ;-)
A Hotel w/o DSL? I didn't think there was such an animal left in this world?
Please keep us posted if John the engineer decides the Ebay/Charity route! That is something I would definitely bid on! Also would Mr. Vachon be making anymore jackets available for sale? Though his custom jackets tend to be a little pricey for us po' folk.
Have fun with the CF plans!

Billy, I guessed Vive Le Rock. (I wonder how I managed that?! hee hee ) I'm off in some Adam and the Ants thang right now. And check it out the 80's video site has one of their videos.
The Killing Joke Love Like Blood is excellent.
Okay, I'm biased.
Excited for the new site, and I supposed we will meet CDs drummer then too! I see he's made an appearance on here already!
So you are watching the footie? wow! You have surprised me! I watched last nights England v Sweden..I was laughing through the whole of the second half.it was mad..mad I tell you!
hugs
Lisa (BOLLOCKS!)

Just got a present a few minutes ago. My new camera just arrived. I still need to buy a proper lens for concert lighting but now I'm seriously considering going to vegas for the CF/TPC show...
I know that if I don't go I'll be kicking myself but if I do it's Top Ramin and water for a few weeks. ...what to do.

Great new site, Billy! Let's show some love, peeps, 8/18!
Lisa? Really? IF so, CONGRATULATIONS.
Wendy- JUST DO IT! Eating Sopas huevonas are worth it!

Dates, picures, a new drummer and a smoking cigarette. It's a happy Thursday.
Posted by: Beth at June 22, 2006 08:58 AM
Cathy you don’t owe me anything… so after the euphoria from my new toy I came down to my senses. As appetizing as Top Ramin sounds (I actually do like it) I really can’t make it. Had this been in August it would have been so on.
Anyhow have a great time to all you lucky buggers going.
Billy I love todays pictures :D Mucho bueno

Hi Billy and all,
I've been busy but wanted to leave some love and say hello! I hope you (and everyone here) are keeping well. Thanks for the updates, I come and read even if quiet, LOL!! (if you only knew me, that is inside joke. I love your selections of the Adam Ant tunes. I wish he were doing well, I was kind of sad when you mentioned him on SRL as having hit hard times. I found a video on line that he had done for charity and he looked very different. I hardly recognized him at all...sad!
Peace All!
