He's probably hanging out in a seedy bar on Triton, exchanging secrets with Johnny Chase, Secret Agent of Space.

It happens to the best of us, but you just hope it isn't today. Sorry to hear this news.

"While their stream of consciousness style has the feel of improvisational comedy, most of the material was actually tightly scripted and memorized.

The group's writing method demands the consent of all four members before a line can be included.

Much of their work has been copyrighted under the name '4 or 5 Crazee Guys.'"

We still have Doctor Phil to kick around, and there is Phil Lesh, as well, who can do a decent Phil Austin if pushed.

It's not like any of this is REAL, either.

Call in a pledge this afternoon!

The song C'mon Jesus Show Yerself came out of this journey.

Phil's solo effort (there may be more, quien sabe?).

I pledge not to drive thru any trees, if only I can have that car.

Ain't it great to see Doc Hartouni trickling back in?

Yes, it is. Ed is a big fan of the FT, as I recall.
