NPGMClub : A Nightmare!!!! Now I'm really  and 
I have had to put so much time into trying to negotiate the site that I had a major nightmare last night! Of course the setting was Paisely Park...and...the new "CLUB" house combined with some other weird house that was pretty at times and sometimes a shack. Anybody remember "Tuna" from the celly and from the Org Bar-B-Q? Well Tuna and NuPwrSoul were the main players. They were running around sooo happy to be at Prince's place and I was "responsible" for keeping up with them and making sure they still did their college stuff! 
They kept running in and out of the "houses". Remember when we were all waiting for our ONA Boxed set? Remember NuPwrSoul posting that he was running after UPS truck like a girl? Well that's how he was acting again! 
And to make matters worse, Tuna had one of those Michael Jackson snakes for a pet and it kept showing up everywhere! 
(no sex symbolism either!...I don't wanna hear it!) 
The snake decided to have a thousand little ones...ugh. 
One of the sweet elderly sisters from the Kingdom Hall stopped by and just pretended not to be bothered by all the chaos. 
She jus kept assuring me that everything would be allright 
I was calling an exterminator for the snakes and NuPwrSoul and Tuna were showing me some half-baked science project for college that looked like 5th grade work!!! 
I woke up with a muscle spasm in my chest (from hitting at those baby snakes, I'm sure). So I have decided, that for now, I will leave the clubHOUSE to those with DSL or better and somebody will just have to give me the downloads later. There was more to the dream from the "HOUSE" but I forget ..U know how dreams are... Anybody else have experiences???

If they make the files on that site any bigger they're gonna have to start burning the whole thing on CD and mailing it to us LOL
I get clients all the time who had their in house graphic designer whip up a web site for them, and its the same situation over and over. They, for some reason, have no clue how to keep the sites files compressed down enough to make it practical to view over the web. Then I have to go through and correct all their mistakes and basically redesign the whole damn thing lol. [This message was edited Tue Apr 22 16:00:05 PDT 2003 by Tom] | |

As an artist, I LOVE flashy graphics and shit like that, but not at the expense of enjoyment or functionality. Hi, Melody. Long time, no hear. Keep me posted on the Club experience this year. I'm gonna be a bystander this time... | |

If you are still in the stone age with dialup, blame your cable or phone company (or yourself) for that, don't blame the NPGMC. | |

You know me ... always the optimist. Already they have added "Entering..." so that you don't click off the black screen since it takes so long to enter...lol Of course I will keep you posted. Love, Melody So...how's everybody doing? | |

Actually, I was at work on t1 line, and I wasn' BLAMING anyone for anything. I believe I said I was "wondering"... Touch- eee | |
