Robin Slick: In Her Own Write

Ike Willis/Project Object/Eric Slick...and Bah! I hate Beta Blogger!



Okay, I give up. Well, at least for this morning. Beta Blogger is driving me crazy. It's taking me an hour to post and if this blurb works I'll faint; no one is able to comment -- you get a weird "error" thing if you try and I've done everything from contact Google (yeah, like that's getting me anywhere) to joining a stupid blogger forum board where I find out like most of the world is having problems so I guess they're either going to fix it or we're all going to switch over to MySpace but...bah! I hate MySpace, too, even though I do have a site because cool people keep inviting me to theirs and I've got some ultra cool friends on mine.

But just in case I am able to publish this post, here's a very fine You Tube of Ike Willis with Project Object (and Eric Slick on drums, of course)...just wish it was longer, damn it!

Okay. I do have other news but I'm afraid to type anything else because if this blogpost fails and I lose it, I'm blowing up my computer.

ETA: Whoa! It finally worked! And comments appear to be working, too! But I'm not pressing my luck any further...I'll be back this afternoon after I calm down.

Later,
xo

Yay, your comments are working again! Because I wanted to say congratulations on the fabulous review and I wanted to say how excited I'll be to read you Psychotic Reaction column and I wanted to say how funny your post with all the colors was but how glad I'll be if you go back to one color.

I got out of jury duty for no reason at all. When my number was called they just said I wasn't needed and they wouldn't call me again for 6 years. Couldn't have gone better!

Hey Y'all.

You've heard of Prog Rock?

Well, Robin Slick currently has the consummate Prog-Blog!

Wait...

Did I spell consummate correctly? Is there a different spelling, when the word is used as a verb instead of a noun?

As in:

"The amazingly clever Robin Slick has now consumated her Beta Blog, and her fans couldn't be more aptly ecstatic about it...?"


I kid you, kid. ;)

Blog looks great!


kix n' grinz,

Ahhh...my comments are back. All is right in my world. And my two favorite commenters, as well.

Susan, I really hated this week to come to an end. It was so much fun!

You probably got out of jury duty because they did a computer check on you and found out you have subversive friends. Ha! 6 years? Lucky you. We can get called every 2 years here.

Dennis! Hi! Prog-blog..I love it. You are hilarious...the consummate wordplayer.

Well, here's hoping when I try and blog again shortly it all goes according to plan. I do have the link for beta blogging for dummies and apparently there's a lot of fun stuff I can do with this thing...if only I can focus but so much stuff is going on right now I can't concentrate on anything other than how to get my kids off to Cleveland and then get this...Julie just landed a gig recording Jon Anderson of YES the day following recording her CD with Adrian Belew...so right now I'm frantically trying to find her a plane from Cincinatti to New York.

Err...didn't this start out as a blog about writing? Ha!

About Me

My Photo
Name: RobinSlick
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Writer, raging liberal, and mother of Eric Slick, drummer for Dr. Dog and Adrian Belew Power Trio, and Julie Slick, bassist for Adrian Belew Power Trio; both Julie and Eric also play in Paper Cat with Robbie Seahag Mangano on guitar as well as too many other projects/bands to mention. "I work on the principle that it's not possible to take anyone's views on music seriously if they don't like the Beatles. Everything else is a question of personal taste and therefore debatable. But if you don't recognise the Beatles as the twentieth century's most inventive, most influential and most talented composers, you're pretty much admitting that you've rather missed the point of the last hundred years of musical endeavour. Should you fall into that category, I do not condemn neither do I mock. I merely despair and, having despaired, I move on." ...Mark Bastable www.myspace.com/markbastable
