The Ledgie Commune coming soon (2011?)
 
An idea I played around with while I was out riding the lawn tractor.
I'll provide more details later. You guys & gals chime in with your own
ideas. But, for the meantime...

1. A two or three month getaway. (I need it!)
2. Somewhere in the U.S. (Except California and New York $$$)
3. Got to be affordable. (= more Ledgies)
4. Freaks locked up at night. We have to sleep.

2. Jersey Shore? Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I'm in England and at University, thus I have no real concept/appreciaton for the value of money and/or safety. I'd be in definitely! Maybe tour the honkey tonks of a Southern State ? That would be nifty. Already got a taste when I went to Memphis and Nashville a couple of years ago. Oooo! Nashville could be good!

Might I suggest a dress/grooming code along these lines:

If it's a commune, I suggest a wing for all of the Chiffonheads, and another, for fans of the rest of the band. With a big locking steel door, to separate the two factions.:lol:

I did the same thing, except with animal crackers. Now I have soggy smashed elephant all over my desk.

Agreed! To me it's no coincidence that the one album Bekka worked on pretty much bombed. It's probably an overly critical comment from me, but I refuse to even class Time as a Fleetwood Mac album. It's just not good or like them AT ALL.

I just don't like it. To be honest with you I listened to it once then put it to the back of my FM CD collection on my "shrine" shelf. Maybe I'll get back to it one day but at the moment horrible memories of being terribly bored during the first listen to that album are still raw. Oh well. There's plenty other Christine and Fleetwood Mac to enjoy. I did get her album (In the Meantime) at the same time and that's had a good old play :)

I agree. Fleetwood Mac wasn't really the right fit for her. A few months ago I did what I swore I would never do and that was listen to her sing one of Stevie's songs...Gold Dust Woman, in fact. It was dreadful. She just couldn't pull it off. Having said that...I also found out the girl has got some pipes and could no doubt nail something in the blues area...which may be what she sings typically...I don't know. Anyway, you've got to give her that...there's no way around it. She sounds a lot like her mother I noticed.

iamnotafraid 09-09-2010 11:32 PM

WelshWitchPMD - Jersey Shore...I just watched that program for the first time yesterday. No Snooki at our commune.

SilverSprings - That's the spirit. Coming all the way from England, and I was concerned about driving time. A Southern State? I'm looking at some cabins in Tennessee. As long as we have cool temps to deal with. Tour the honkey tonks? Only if someone buys my booze.

HejiraNYC - I don't think Carrie will wear one of those designer dresses. I'll have to ask her. And I was considering Bekka Bramlett as a special invited guess since she's the only member of Fleetwood Mac that's under the age of 70 and willing to drive.

LukeA - I'd never heard of that commune in Oregon. Rajneeshpuram followers are officailly banned from our commune.

HomerMcvie - I'd thought about a "wing" for some Ledgies. The big locking steel door might work.

Carrie - Can you cook ramen noodles like Britney Murphy?

So what's the age limit? Any suggestions would be welcome. We don't want to keep anyone from attending, but we don't want to go to jail either.

With many of you being very liberal, I'm kind of afraid of the free love and bad acid that might be going around at our commune. Not to mention all of you tobacco chewing, flannel wearing, tattoo loving Nicks fans. I'm really not sure of what you all are capable of. Though I'm sure the men of the Ledge are almost as bad.

What about the beer loving bass players? Do we get a keg?

I'll make sure you get a keg G-girl.
You do have to bring your bass.

Giggity giggity.
And of course I will, I don't go anywhere far away without her.

Haha! Well I'll have to see how much money I bring with me at the time. If the English to American exchange rate begins to kick your arse in double figures again I should think we'll be fine :P

If that's the stereotypical Nicks fan, what do you have us Buckingham fans down as lol? And I think you'll find I'm quite tame. Though left to my own devices I'll probably prove myself a liar rofl!

Oh and I'm 22 in 18 days so I'm pretty sure nothing is age illegal to me anymore hehe.

SapphireSister 09-11-2010 01:32 PM

I'll go if there's a Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons within a reasonable distance.

Don't worry about money, Buttercookie is bringing enough for all of us.

Buckingham fans? While not as bad as Nicks' fans, they can't seem to come
to terms with the fact that Michael Richards (Kramer) looks exactly like Lindsey.
When I spoke with Lindsey last, he didn't seem to mind it when I called him Cosmo.

Nothing is illegal with you? Hmm......

Zombie 09-13-2010 12:14 AM

Well, if y'all want a random Zombie along, I volunteer for any necessary cooking and/or drink mixing, since I'm pretty good at that.

I'd do a themed menu, with stuff like Electric Skillet Hamburger Helper, pasta in the shape of Stevie's weird bird nest hair from the 70s, a Jell-o salad shaped like a tambourine with random pineapple tidbits floating in it (and made with alcohol, so people will actually want to eat it), Long Distance Weiners (credit to Carrie for calling me a long distance weiner that one time), Roast Penguin (by which I mean a chicken in a top hat), etc. And, naturally, we'll have to have some Schlitz and some of Mick's wine.

But for the finishing touch and centerpiece of the Ledgie Buffet Table? I shall commission an artist to create for me a clay version of Lindsey's head, which I shall then crown with a recreation his excellent 80s Bride of Frankenstein hair crafted entirely out of port wine cheese spread! F*ck yeah! Let's do this.

Okay. I just had to google who on earth Michael Richards was, and unfortunately now that I can see him in front of me I have to agree. That's rather disconcerting.

Hehe. Limited to things you have to be a certain age to do. Call me a snob but I still frown on Homicide lol!

Oooo...I can do that! I got a merit last year at Uni for making a lifelike Michael Stipe head :p I had no reason really, I'd been using Michael as a model for Saint Sebastian and I wanted to expand into a new medium. It was actually pretty creepy which I'm proud of :P

OMG. MAKE IT SO, NUMBER 1.

No, seriously - I would knock over an old lady to have such a thing. I would also knock over an old lady to have a recreation of Lionel Richie's head in the "Hello" video to use for the same purpose.



Tell me what I would need to do (besides love you forever, nootch) to have such amazing things in my possession.

PS - I promise not to use it to stalk blind people, though I MIGHT use it to sit in the hallway in the middle of the night to disturb Cute Guitar Boy when he gets up to take a piss.

Kena 09-13-2010 09:20 AM

Okay, maybe's it's just because my meds have not kicked in but I just laughed my ass off at this Lionel Richie video.

No, I think that is the natural response to that video, meds or no. Though I imagine watching the video with meds would make it even awesomer. Y'know, depending on the meds.

Haha! Well if this thing comes off and I hear about it in enough time I'll start mah crafting. Jeez it'll be fun to get through customs :P They wouldn't even let me through Atlanta with a bottle of water the security guy who checked me out had seen me buying there.

Poor Butter. That's alot of work. I guess I better teach her how to make a Sidney Silk because that and Red Wine are the only things I drink.
