davemerrillFIRESIGN THEATER DUKE OF MADNESS MOTORS is out. That's 80 (eight-zero) hours of Firesign Theater broadcasts from their original 1970-1972 radio shows. Yeah, I know, you already have the two-LP set "Dear Friends". Well friends, this makes "Dear Friends" look like TEN MILES OF THE FREEWAY WHICH IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS. Also comes with a 108 page book and lotsa extra goodies. I already ordered mine and there's a part in the online ordering process where Paypal asks if I would like to give "Firesign Theater" my telephone number. BOY WOULD I!
Don't be a clown, order yours today! Don't wait for exorbitant eBay prices or your local brick-and-mortar graveyard to fail to carry it. I don't even think Baileo Brothers Pharmacy is even in business any more. Line up, sign up, and do it today. And don't take off your shoes!

Date: 2011-01-19 08:49 pm (UTC)There is a great article on the Firesign site by their archivist, who managed to get a lot of their otherwise-unavailable radio shows from a fellow who taped them all off air and kept the reel-to-reel tapes in an outbuilding filled with all his junk including a quarter of a million LPs and two cars. And I thought *I* was a pack rat...

Dammit.
Have you seen the History of DC Comics book? The $200 one (I think) that's the size of a small country? I want that too.
Meanwhile I'm moving from one storage unit to another in 15 degree weather on icy, crappy tarmac. Have to do it, they're gutting the building and remaking it. I have a fuckton of stuff. Things I had completely forgotten about.
Like a David Matthews 'Dune' LP. Pre-movie. I have no recall of it whatsoever.

Date: 2011-01-20 12:52 am (UTC)Heck, apparently you can still get 'goop' for the Thingmakers. I did not know this.
I would buy the Kirby 2001 thing from you myself, I have all the normal-sized 2001 comics he did.
You could throw a yard sale, advertise it in advance so all your pals could come from far and wide. Or get a table at a SF con or an anime show that has a yard sale event. Or find a con that will let you sell out of a hotel room.
I would totally come to Grand Rapids and help you throw a yard sale. I'll even make lemonade.

My fave was the army men one, where you laid wires down, closed the mold with a top part and used the goop bottle as a crude low pressure injection molding device. Made bendy rubber army men and equipment. they made the most horrid smell when you set them on fire.
Oh, and my Sizzler train, and the Hot Birds line of die-cast fantasy aircraft.
Know what's super goofy about that 2001 Giant Comic? It's in a box with a DC Digest version of 'The Warlord' by Mike Grell. That's the big and small of it!
And no you can't have my Kirby 4th World comics. I'm sorry.
What I would like to do in some future time is maybe gather some stuff and haul it to your place for sale at that SF yard sale for the Merrill thing. You and Shane get first pick, no charge. :)

OTOH, the Merril sale is probably where most of the buyers for the old schooly stuff are going to be. To be honest, vintage 60s toy stuff would go over really well at a toy show, probably more so than a table at an SF con or an anime con.
