Location: south east Michigan		I'm looking for "dates of historical interest" about Ovation to make note of in the calendar. Anyone know of any dates to make note of???

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI		Looks like a field goal kick is about to be attempted on that Celeb.....

How about the date that The Glen Campbell Show premiered???? And the date that Melissa Etheridge's first album was released(gobs of Adamas 12-string on that album)?

Nancy Wilson's birthday (March 16th) would be nice, too.....

Location: closely held secret		Well, it was back in the day, when Ovations were still treated pretty much like property, ya know. Oh, people did terrible things to them, like they dint have any feelins or nuthin. Some were used as paddles by immigrunts, some set on fire and used as torches by peasants when they'd storm the castle at night, and some... well, some jest suffered fates grown men can't even talk about without bustin down and cryin like a little girl who's et too much candy.
This particular Ovation... well. It had innocently accepted an invite from Krazy Keller to a party - the Jamfest after the Factory tour, now that I recollect - and crossed the path of Mad Moody and Twisted Templeman - some folk know him as the Phantom of the Futball field.
Well, Mad Moody got pretty het up, and took a swing at poor Celeb - that was her name - but his heart musta not bin in it, or else he's a piss-poor kicker, wearing them funny tenners and all...
but then came Twisted. "Hold 'er up!", he muttered, his speech somewhat slurred by the many vodka and tongue oil's he'd imbibed that night. So Moody held her up, while Temp kicked a mighty kick. It was awful!! Knocked a big chunk of 'er binding off, right there on the carpet! And then...
"Oh, my...", whispered Slim Slipkid. "He... he's killed her...". Slim knelt beside her, noticing the gaping hole left by the steel toe of Temp's jack-boot, and carefully cradled her in his arms. "I'm taking her home with me.", he said solemnly. "No one will ever do this to her again!".
"Hawr, hawr, hawr!", laughed Twisted Templeman, in his broken english. "She ain't nothin' but a gol-durned Celebrity, anyways!". He and Moody moved off, later to be seen puking in one of Cliff\'s shoes. The left one, I think. Cliff was still wearing it at the time.

And that's the sorrowful story of the sad Celeb, who hangs to this day in Slim Slipkid's basement, in between his poster of Tito Puente and his gym socks from high school.

Location: south east Michigan		I can see my shoes in that picture.
The booted Celebrity is the ultimate keepsake from the tour. (Well, maybe the give-away Adamas was the ultimate keepsake.) I really enjoy having it around.
As we were ready to leave the ski lodge they were looking for a garbage can big enough to hold it. Having been totaly sucked in to Mr. Keller's practical joke, I just could not stand to see any more torture inflicted on the poor thing.
But I don't want to be greedy. I'm thinking that I will bring it to the next tour and let someone else take it home. Maybe it can become a trophy of some sort that is handed off each year.
This reminds me of when BrianT and I were driving back from the tour and the going through Canadian customs. After we explained we were returning from a guitar gathering the inspector had us roll down the rear window for a look. "What's the deal with the smashed guitar???" he asked.
Good story Waskel...I would pay good money to hear Mr. Templeman use the phrase, "gol-durned" in a sentence.

Location: south east Michigan		Designzilla (aka: Steve) is most likely done with the design work by now. He is squeezing...I mean trying to get the best deal...from his printing sources.
My idea of hi-res photos was a bit different than his idea, but he says he has enough to work with. Expect a couple "collage" pages.
I talked with Steve last saturday and we are still on track for a December 7th ship date.

Location: south east Michigan		UPDATE!!!!
Mr. Designzilla informs me that the calendar is at the printers. I does not look like we will make the "in the mail" target day of December 7th but you will have them before Christmas. I will have the envelopes all addressed so that when they get to me I can just stuff'em a go. Steve is very happy with how they came out. I can't wait to see them myself.

It's to bad that we don't have a date set for OFC Tour 2006 yet. It would have been nice to indicate the date on the calendar as if it were a national holiday.

Location: south east Michigan		We will end up with a "printers overun" of maybe 5 calendars.
Elginacres is taking two of those.
I know I have preached and threatened about "last chances" and "absolute deadlines", but I promise...this is it. There is now a finite number of calendars to be had.
