1. First, I want to be mummified. I also hope there's alcohol. I hope that my friends get up and tell about all the ridiculous shit I've done in my life.
2. As I got to age 7 before the 90s came around, I do not feel that I am qualified to answer this question.
3. It's really neither exciting nor funny, but I always swear it is. I can look like a fish. Specifically, a bass. It's a pretty spot-on impression. I'm just talented like that.
Actually, several years ago, I wrote out my funeral service. It was a spiritual exercise. I should probably go back and update it; popular liturgical musical tastes have changed a little since 2000.
I'm afraid I stopped paying attention to pop musicians by 1982 or so. Is Michael Jackson still around?
I have no party tricks. Sorry. Well, unless you count ...
Recorders in the nostrils? Ah, yes. Is that your girlfriend in the picture. She looks very pretty.
Once I moved away from Iowa City, I found that (a) i didn't have many good venues for magic performance in the western Dubuque area, (b) I didn't practice very much if I didn't have performances coming up, and (c) I didn't want to become that guy. You know, the one who stumbles through a vaguely-remembered bit of trick, never quite able to relax into it and concentrate on entertaining people, sometimes getting the moves right but never really conveying a sense of magic. That guy. We ran into a lot of those guys with A Magical Omnibus. I decided the world didn't need another one.
I gave away almost all of my GENII and Magic magazines, and a couple of foot-lockers full of props, to the Young Magicians' Club out of Twin Cities Magic and Costume, several years ago. I've still kept a shelf of better-quality magic books, and a box of good props, mostly close-up, in case that particular hobby comes calling again.
I know its 3 weeks away, but I’ll pay for a beer if you wait until Pensacola….
For the questions: 1) Nothing more than Gilgamesh had. Anything more would be over the top. 2) Most of what I listen to is 80’s music. I have no idea who is nearly-forgotten. Thomas Dolby would probably be my choice. But, my favorite of his albums (Astronauts and Heretics) came out in the 90’s. 3) Since I stopped drinking in 86, I haven’t done any party tricks lately. Usually it’s be the designated driver. Not much fun, but useful. 4) You OK with getting to Pensacola? I know you had van problems. Let me know if you need to rent a car or something.
1. small. family, dumping my ashes in tbe backyard compost and/or rosebushes 2. eep. roxy music. no links, sorry 3. lapdancing, bien sur. i'm also good at taking my top off and slapping asses 4. what really turns you on?
Depends on my mood, what day of the week it is, and which direction the wind is blowing. Something that works really well one day might not have any effect the next day. So I guess I'll go with "variety".
Although there are a few of the normal sorts of things that pretty much always work, like thigh-highs and girls kissing other girls.

Now if you could be mummified doing your bass impression, that'd be something.

I want to be Peter Pan when I grow up. And that's the best damn answer anyone can give to that question.

My girlfriend does a stupid recorder trick you could learn. With a little harmony even!
Do you still do the magic thing at all?

I'm just getting myself to Louisville and we're taking Bob's car from there, so it should be all good.
