Keeping your little chum from hugging me has been a problem. He is running around my apartment in a towel - shades of the Getaway. And I live on the first floor. Will probably hear from the co-op board by Monday.

Happy Birthday, Mary, my girl, have my little chum give you a hug for me. Many happy returns. Chance

We are in NYC. The greeting party, all five cats, love Micca. Alice loved him enough to mark his jacket as her own...if you know what I mean. Giant sigh. Now I have to do his laundry!
He was fairly quiet on the way up. Think we are wearing him out.
Many thanks to Dick Swaine and family. Micca and I almost spent the night in the car but were rescued and then escorted to a wonderful breakfast this morning. Tomorrow we are on our way to New Hampshire.
By the way - "Happy Birthday to me!" Nice to have such good company to celebrate with even if it is pizza and jug wine.
Mary

I thought he was pretty cool too, Bert. We have a new friend to love.

I really don't know what you are all on about. The guy seems quite normal to me. Good singer, likes a jar or two, well travelled, good converstionalist, not really that old, and a bloody GREAT songwriter (The rotten SOD). In fact the perfect Mudcatter. Don't miss him when he gets to your town.

Okay -- as I understand it, Sinsull and Micca show up at The Press Room in Portsmouth, NH for the session this Friday night where there will be the Ceremonial Hand-Off of Micca (anybody bringing pipes?! -- or should there be a shanty?) from Sinsull to Animaterra.

Animaterra already scoped out The Press Room (albeit on a non-session evening) during the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival last month and, as a result, knows all about the parking situation on Daniel Street.

Good news to Sinsull -- I FOUND the guest room bed! I knew it was there someplace. And you can actually GET TO IT without major limb-bashing and black and blueness. (No bats -- they've left for the season, so you've lucked out again.)

ROTFLMAO: Mort, my dear, what does that mean? Other than a passion for American Cider he remains as before.

Last time I saw them, er.. actually just spoke to them, as I was at work in NY, was yesterday about noon and as explained to me, they were all heading toward Penna. to hang out for a while, then go over for the Tuesday night Mudcat Radio Show.

Weren't they there? I worked late last night and I don't have a puter at home any more, so I don't get to hear the show at all anymore :-(

According to plans, they were staying somewhere in PA, then heading up to Sinsulls this morning. Their plans after that, I don't know.

So, where are the buggers?

Love, Annamill

When last seen the fugitive was driving north with a gregarious gaggle of groupies. Under the guise of spreading joyous times and warm and fuzzy feelings, the suspect destroys schedules and demolishes work ethics. Puritans! Alert! The Pagans are among you and TOO MUCH FUN MAY RESULT! BEWARE.

Note to the gregarious gropers...uh, groupies, have him back to JudyO, Susette, and myself on Saturday, we plan to thoroughly debauch him and put him on the plane on Sunday in proper shape.

Morticia et al, be prepared to catch him, the little hairy bugger is going to be a bit nackered.

Regards, Chance

Listen chaps,

We're dreadfully sorry to inflict Micca upon you, what with all the other unwelcome things arriving in your land at the present time.
However we would like to point out that the effects of a Micca attack are not as serious as they might appear. Yes, he can burble for hours on end, particularly with a captive audience, but there are simple measures which can be taken.
One of the simplist is the cider approach. This can be effected in one of two ways. Either threaten notto let him have any cider until he agrees to be gagged, or pour more than six pints down his neck, at which point he will fall comatose and be rendered easily transportable.
However, when transporting a comatose Micca, on no account should you use any hooks!
In fact, the SOPs in the H.M.Customs Handbook advise that, in general, Miccas should be treated like any non-threatening mammal. Breeding is not recommended, however.
When you've finished with your Micca you can either return him to the UK in the packaging provided (with duty pre-paid on his liver, of course) or let him loose in any US chemistry laboratory, where he will amuse himself for the forseeable future developing hitherto unknown explosives and cocktails which can be used in "Operation Infinite Hangover".

Best wishes,

The Exciseman

Those of us living vicariously on these threads demand full details (later if need be) of the Micca Muckle Tour!
With mugshots, rap sheets, the whole enchilada.
Do we need to stump up for the bail bondsman?

Wanted for questioning concerning gratuitous farting and belching: One short, hairy, talkative man, traveling under the name Micca. Has anyone seen him?
