||||||||| Outside, the 8:05 PM crosstown bus from South Carolina pulls away, leaving Johan Amadeus Myjetski coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Trailing clouds of glory (cough, cough), I’m down! Where did everybody go?
||||||||| Catherwood enters with DJTweeny close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 8:11 PM tree-stunting plans, and dashes off to the anteroom.

DJTweeny: Would be cool :)
Cease: As he reported on Facebook
||||||||| Catherwood says "8:58 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs DJTweeny by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door

||||||||| Catherwood accompanies doctecazoid inside, makes a note of the time (8:59 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Welcome back, DJT!
DJTweeny: Hi Doc
doctecazoid: Can't stay on long
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Hi Doc!
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, January 31, 2019 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
doctecazoid: We have a situation - Proc's daughter will be taking over the firesigntheatrelegacy.com domain, on a Squarespace site.
Cease: Hey, it's Doc!
doctecazoid: This site would become firesigntheatrelegacy.com
Cease: Wow
doctecazoid: A number of ducks need to be lined up in order to affect this change with minimal disruption
DJTweeny: What's she going to do with it?
doctecazoid: It's going to become the new firesigntheatrelegacy.com, I think they want to basically take over the site and make it easier to manage and such
||||||||| New notice: '** WE'RE GLAD YOU MADE IT! Now playing: David Ossman's “STILL WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN” **

DAVID OSSMAN >> https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?member=Ossman'
doctecazoid: I don't really know all the deets but I have to say, I really don't have the time to do this site justice
doctecazoid: The little red needle is pointing to E
Cease: Good luck to Kristen
DJTweeny: Understandable, Doc
Cease: I figured you were too busy to answer my emails these days.
Cease: Glad to hear you're not frozen
doctecazoid: Proc and Ossman are backing her on this - her hubby is involved too
doctecazoid: In any case, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed - like for instance, this chat
llanwydd: lol
doctecazoid: I need to get with Westley on what would need to happen if I move the site to a new domain
llanwydd: high govt official!
Cease: becausethis chat is on the site?
doctecazoid: Then there's Firesale - I think they want to set up a store on Squarespace but I don't know how close they are to having that together ...
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and Beet disembarks at 9:04 PM.
Beet: Hi gang!
DJTweeny: Hi Beet
Cease: Beet
doctecazoid: This chat is on the current firesigntheatrelegacy.com site. The new firesigntheatrelegacy.com site will be a Squarespace site.
Beet: Howdy DRs Tween and Cease.
doctecazoid: This site will move to a new domain that needs to be set up: firesigntheatrelegacy.com
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Hail, beet!
doctecazoid: And the chat would be run from there
DJTweeny: So I'm guessing a whole lot of Find/Replace in the code
Beet: Hi JAM
DJTweeny: Ah, so the chat will remain at the same address
doctecazoid: I don't know if Westley is coming tonight but I need to get with him and get a feel from him about migrating the back-end functionality of the stuff he's put together for this site onto firesigntheatrelegacy.com
doctecazoid: No, the chat will move to firesigntheatrelegacy.com
DJTweeny: AH, OK
doctecazoid: This is what I am trying to get across - this site will become the legacy site, Kristen her hubby and the guys (and I expect Taylor) will be responsible for the new Squarespace version of firesigntheatrelegacy.com
DJTweeny: Well, will be interesting to see what they come up with
doctecazoid: The guys do want to see the legacy site carry on, because of all the content that's been amassed
DJTweeny: I would think so
Cease: indeed
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Brb
doctecazoid: I would like to hang out here tonight but I have a bunch of stuff I need to take care of - I only got home a few minutes ago after running errands on the way home from work
Cease: Austin as Lady of the Canyon.
doctecazoid: It's going to be another 12-16 hour day for me today
Cease: On a flick about Burroughs (source for new collage series) Frank Zappa reads Naked Lunch. He was Austin's neighbour.
doctecazoid: So, if Westley shows up have him read this log
DJTweeny: yikes Doc
doctecazoid: I need to get him an email msg about this as well
Cease: thanks for dropping by, doc
doctecazoid: I need to get started on the migration process this weekend, the gang is getting antsy and I am the holdup at this point.
doctecazoid: Take care and please don't touch that dial.
||||||||| doctecazoid departs at 9:12 PM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
Cease: changes in firesign land
llanwydd: doc was becoming lillian roth in his extremity
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Yes llan, lily & roth!
llanwydd: her too
llanwydd: I went out for a moment and didnt get to say hi
llanwydd: havent seen doc in a while
Cease: too busy to be here these days.
Cease: wasn't employed for quite a while and now is over-employed
llanwydd: hmm
llanwydd: I hope he is doing well
||||||||| Bebop Lobo reminds all you hep cats to listen to Firesign’s NEW 24/7 RADIO STATION Click to listen anytime!"

llanwydd: welcome back beet
Beet: Thanks and greetings Llan.
Cease: "you were a real Leprechaun tonight" the Bergman character tells the Proctor character in my play CAST which several of you were in.

Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Brb

llanwydd: did you get those orders, catherwood?
||||||||| Catherwood gets those orders.
llanwydd: cool
Not Ed: Corwin's The Undecided Molecule https://youtu.be/HbmpBWCf8B8
Beet: The case now is that all the participants are so sold out, even though everyone knows what the problem is with the banks and Wallstreet, nobody has the courage to do anything.
llanwydd: is everybody staying warm tonight?
Beet: Warmth is sought and found fortunately.
llanwydd: great
llanwydd: I am fortunate to live in florida but it is kind of chilly for down here. in the 50s
