WHO would have thought that this little experiment in nightlife community would today reach the ripe old age of eight? Certainly not Johnny or I, Rose Royalle, Hattie or any of our original moderators and posters.

In cyber years, we are ANCIENT - having outlasted a slew of social networking options - remember FRIENDSTER? - and coexisting with the ebbs and falls of others. For all of you who come for news, conversation, remembrance, gossip or just to guffaw, we are so thrilled that you do, from 116 countries last month.

So, in deference to time zones, in lieu of a chat please just post birthday thoughts here as we will be celebrating, each from our desk, hotel room, bed, closet, taxi or DJ booth (oh and Ulysses, on the beach!)

New York City and outskirts dwellers - we have decided to hold a Sunday afternoon PICNIC this year as something different to celebrate the Mboards birthday this year. TBA as soon as the weather breaks!

Thanks for your inestimable contributions, Keep The Faith and Happy Birthday!

You kept asking "But will there be a virtual toilet overflowing that I will have to clean up???"

LOL.

I can remember a handful of "overflowing toilets" that had to be dealt with over the past 8 years... Remember some of the early flame wars?

Not to change the subject but a few weeks ago at GARY 49 @ Mr. Black I was on stage DJing (while I was texting Sammy Jo in Barcelona of course).
I put a long song on and ran to the bathroom to pee.
When I got there I had a "bad feeling"
(No, not a "baby laxative" bad feeling)
a feeling that something was amiss.
Sure enough I saw the tell tale signs of a toilet "on the verge"!
Quickly I grabbed a plunger and before the bathroom lady could say "Sham Wow" I had the mess cleaned up, took a pee and made it back on stage to mix the next song.

I guess you never lose it.

Now back to The Motherboards' Birthday already in progress.

Ah, my husband's Glamorous Life

And no doubt his speed and alacrity at being an apprentice plumber? "bathroom lady?" -was due to the lack of baby laxative in his DJ booth refreshment!

Who said that there was a lack of baby laxative in my DJ booth refreshment regimen?

Well I guess you are right. Your DJ booth refreshment could be very potent while still having a baby laxative content even though that seems paradoxical. So you could still have lightening fast toilet plunger skills ( while grinding your teeth, blinking constantly and having drymouth ) while at the same time be getting inspired to visit the toilet by the laxative. I stand corrected Daddy. Never second guess an ultimate professional. I guess I could only suggest finding a store that vends laxative-free refreshment.

Happy 8th Birthday to all my extended family! Though I have been-- and will again be-- in and out of town the last few weeks, I feel you all are right by my side.

We're with you in Rockland Hatch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRTUAL NIGHTCLUB!
