    We gave up on paps, and the vine was reseeded
    hey now erickat! "We" had no mixup, Paps stalled the vine. Back in the beginning of November I first PM'd paps regarding this vine. No reply. I pm'd her again two weeks later, still no reply. In mid December we gave up on it, and TNHG reseeded the vine, sending the copy to me in mid-December. The vine appears to be moving well now. Paps finally replied to me yesterday (after more than two months!) asking where to send the vine. I told her to keep the darn thing. She apparently needs help keeping track of vines, and also needs to read her damn PMs. Thanks for your help.

    So.... looks like we had another mix-up
    This list has gotten hard to follow - and we've already had a couple of re-seeds. Apparently, Paps has the package & doesn't know where to send it - she never posted that she had received it & didn't know where to look to find out who was next in line. Keeping track is critical to prevent lost vines - I use an excel spreadsheet to track vines. Sample Vine Tracking Spreadsheet If this vine is off track - then whoever is next in line should PM paps & ask her to send it along - but be sure to post here, so everyone knows the status.

    The material on these six discs is must have for any serious collector/historian. I recognized a number of the passages referenced in Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test when burning them. The Jer interview is great, both for the content of his answers and the background noise of people coming and going at 710. All in all good stuff; disjointed and poorly recorded, but eminently collectible. Here is the new list, unless we hear otherwise from playdead or Billy S: 30. Pajak 31. boxen 32. joneb 33. grdaed73 34. Dead Man Telling Tales 35. emily-j 36. hard_to_handle 37. TxJed 38. mercedes42 39. playdead 40. Billy S I will give boxen and/or joneb until COB tomorrow, then I will offer the sheet to grdaed73. Cool? "The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey

    Billy and playdead got moved to the end because...
    ...they've disappeared, Billy S has anyway, been absent without replying to PMs for weeks now. Playdead PM'd me last week and said he was going to stop vining, for awhile at least. Probably OK to move mercedes up. Don't know what the deal is with boxen, thought he was fairly active still. Just don't let this vine disappear again, it's been reseeded like three or four times already, it's one of the first vines any new viner will sign up for.

Most vines seem to take at least one week per person sometimes much longer.Some times they go through a person or two before we get an update. Let's wait for a while and darkstar23 and / or Socrateazer will show up for a status check. If not I will burn a new set, roll them up tight and drop them... in the mail. Peace Rick

for your reassurances.It's funny, this was 1 of THE first vines i ever saw and signed up for on this site, lol. In the meantime i have had tons of vines come my way and me pass them along. i pray this is worth the wait. I am sooo curious as the quality and what symphonic dreams will fill my mind and spirit while i disappear into the music. patrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone..."

I've sent it out to Socrateazer and he should have got it by now. I confirm some people's assumptions here that this is truly worth listening to. Just the amount of weirdness you might want on an already weird day.

Our brother Socrateazer wrote - "Acid Test Vine On February 7th, 2008 Socrateazer said: I know it will be a while, and I have the time to wait, but I am getting laid off from my job for medical reasons and I do not know if I will be able to handle being responsible for the vine, so I need to bow out of this one. I will sign-up again if I am able to pass it along. Thanks!" We can only send him good and strong positive vibes, in what ever format your feel is right for you, (Prayers, chants, strong thoughts, incantations, or happy faces). I remember some one once telling me that we are all bozos on this bus and we gotta look out for each other. So lets all look out for Bruce. Good vibes you way. Now since it has been nearly a month and no movement. I will burn a new set shn/flac and wav. Package then and send them off to the person who thinks they are next in line. So whom ever you are, PM me with your address please. Peace every one and share the love. Rick Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again

Rick, I forgot that Socrateazer was going to be out of action for awhile. My prayers go out to him. Assuming the last set stopped at his door, the remaining order should go as follows. 11. reedchris 12. Grateful Gooner 13. zbinks 14.toddsnc 15.wobbs7 16. rfk4 17. 143or245 18. CalebIsHungry 19. Melinda 20. Tony 21. muffin 22. joneb 23. Schnebs There was no number 12 previously, so I bumped everyone everyone from 13 through 21 up by one. Also, it looks like the order from 20-22 got screwed up screwed up a bit after joneb joined the vine. I have corrected this order as Tony joined before muffin and muffin joined before joneb.

It is the Acid Test Vine...Did anyone expect it to go like clockwork? Burning as I type but it has been a beautiful Colorado spring weekend, running behind on a few tasks. So if I miss my Monday goal please forgive me, these will be in the mail by Tuesday. Remember to love each other and the love you give will be returned ten fold.

When I made the above post I was reading a few posts back where the order had been screwed up and was now staightened out. That's what I meant when I wrote the header bout "that" being "straightened out". Also, it seems like a bunch of posts are going up two or three times. I swear I only sent it once... -Tommo

I havn't been able to post in a while but now that I'm moved into the new house and have the internet hooked up I am able to finally deliver the following news... ...the vine is in the mail! Heads up Gooner, it's on the way. Thanks for waiting folks and I'm sorry for the hold up. I mailed a stack of vines today and when I got home there was a new stack in my mailbox! Does that happen to anyone else?
