I'll never forget the 4 foot tall to-scale Saturn V with 3 'D' Engines. Lifted off slow and picked up speed just like the real thing. I wish I would have had multiple stages but I think we would never have found it afterwards.

Never let that dissuade you from building and launching a multistager!  I think I've recovered 10% of the ones I built.  They're so damn cool to watch.  I like to imagine the delight of kids going out to play in their back yard and finding a terminal stage, chute deployed, in their garden.  Maybe it'll even prompt them to start flying themselves...

At this point I think it's more likely to induce fear and panic that curiosity and wonder. Sort of like Super Mario-style question blocks or LED Moonenites.

Just because the world is fucked up doesn't mean you have to give it the satisfaction of playing along.

I'd like to get this as a tattoo, but it's too long and painful, so I'll have to settle for more messageboard signature.

This past year I knitted toques for Front and his band, I wish I'd taken photos.  Front's had "FRONT" really big in the front and "back" really small on the back.  Gaby, the bassist, got one that said "all your bass are belong to us."  Brandon (keyboards) got a Space Invaders theme and the new drummer (he replaced Badd Spellah but I don't remember his name) got Breakout.  They were very gracious and wore the hats on stage even though it was, like, 95 degrees in the bar.

JL, you are awesome.  I've seen Front twice, once when I was visiting New York (great timing...) and once when he came to Lawrence, KS.  I'm still pissed that I missed him on his most recent tour with Optimus Rhyme.  I'd really like to see those guys live.
