Did I miss it? Was it last night? Oh, I want to kick myself. I checked in the chat room but for some reason I'm having trouble with it.

I don't think we missed it, Jenni. They were talking about when it happens. They were all waiting around for Jim to register here.

The landslide thing was a little scary but 24 hours later when he is telling me, it was sort of funny!
As far as questions, Jim has a great sense of humor. As I have told Scottidog, some of his stories are crazy funny! The reason the "landslide" incident is a little funny to me is because Jim finds himself in these little situations somehow. He has been hit on stage with a garden hoe, has slid off the stage, and one of the funniest "Al" stories involves him slipping on water, falling on the base of his mike stand right on his coccyx! At the time, not so funny... now? Funny!
Short story to show his kind of sense of humor: We have a mink that wonders into our back yard. We sent him pictures one day. He sent us an email back saying he decided to name his new album "Weasel Stomping Slack Key".
He is very witty. So don't worry too much about obscure, goofy, questions. As long as it's not mean spirited (which again, I can't imagine anyone on this board doing that) he will enjoy it!

Thanks for posting that, Dave. I've not met Jim yet, but he did wave to a group of us fans waiting by the bus after a show. He was on his cell, so he couldn't talk to us. I thought it was cool that he waved, though.

Will Jim be getting his own Forum section (like Ask Bermuda) when he signs up?
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 4:41 pm
Yeah, that's the plan. Since he is crazy busy, I went ahead and made the executive decision to do it as a forum like Bermuda did a couple of years ago. That way, he can pop on and answer it at his leisure. Not only that but it turns out that poor Whizzi is from the Netherlands and would have to be up at 4:00 am to do a live chat. Didn't want Whizzi to go through that either!

I'm so glad I didn't miss it. I've met Jim last August in Merrillville, IN. He signed my twister bag. Kaffy took a picture of it. Of course, you can only see the back of my head but Jim is the important one in the picture. He was so nice putting up with all of us.

WHiZZi (Or Scotti, Dave, and Anth)-will Jim be getting the same adminastrative powers that Bermuda and Al have?

Ha! That's too funny! I was at that show with him! I've got pictures of us in his tour bus. We ran in there to relax a little bit and then we went out so Jim could sign some autographs! Not that you would remember but we were the two that were walking around with him. Got an autograph for one guy who had a poster and was dying to get Al and Jim's autograph. He was really a good kid so we hooked him up.
That's funny that you were their that night.

I don't know if he'll be getting full blown admin powers, but at the very least he'll be able to moderate his own Forum.spacedingo @ Jul 12 2005, 11:08 AM wrote: WHiZZi (Or Scotti, Dave, and Anth)-will Jim be getting the same adminastrative powers that Bermuda and Al have?
