:sunny:

 

we try but we cant hardly feel anything under all these layers

 

Hey Chris,

Hows yer day going?

 

warm here in Maine! You guys are so funny! Valentines day we cuddled a good part of the day in the heated waterbed!

 

I would love to do the Oregon Fair. When is it? I can contact on line to submit unless Mouseman has an in that would help. We're at www.pauldubeentertainment.com for samples or can send a cd.
exciting just thinking about it. I've only been as far a Eurecka. Almost went to Oregon w/Jimmy but felt strange and got out at Eurecka went back to SF alone. My brother Kevin was there a while .

 

Well my darlins, I am about to begin my new book. It's not Hippie.. it's not redneck.. It's my family history. My great grand parents as they traveled in covered wagons from the Carolinas to Georgia and finely to North East Texas, Tyler TX, where they became land barons and then Oil Barons. Great grand father was murdered behind the essayers office in Tyler Tx.

MO Threlkeld and Lucinda owned from Henderson to Athens TX. They donated to the city what is now, Down Town Tyler. They deeded land out to shear croppers and was paid in what was harvested from the deeded land.

We tracked all the land they had sold and donated to the city for the growth of the community, which was massive and then to strike Oil in Overton Texas which was part of The Widow's Dowry.

The Widows Dowery was set in place for the widows of the men that were killed or died leaving an opening for carpet baggers, con artists and muraders from evicting by force the women and children to steal their land and Oil.

My grandmother ran off with the neighbor boy and was married against her families wishes. Her mother had died in childbirth with her little sister and her father a local grocery store owner remarried and my grandmother did not get along with her father's new bride, so she moved in with her grandparents at age twelve, where she met Henry Duke who lived with his parents on the ajacent property of MO and Lucinda, my great grandparents on my Daddy' side.

We did all the research 20 yrs ago, with the help of my mother and sister. We scoured every bit of info from the courthouse, we found the family cemetary, we saw the old homestead whice the other half of the family tried to keep from us. My grand mother's aunts decided to cut my grandmother out of her inhieretence. Since her mother died and her father remarried and granny ran off with the neighbor boy. The old biddies robbed her of her part when Great Grandmother Lucinda passed away.

It's a quiet interesting story and has the makings of an excellent screne play

We talked with some ancient ppl who remembered some tall tales from the time and remembers my family. We traced our geneology clear back 500 yrs. We had French decendants that were Dukes and Duchesses for real.

It's an amazing story. Now that I've cleared out my house maybe I'll be able to start writing again. I have been under a tremendous ammout of stress from the depts of hell itself and hopefully, with then help of some smudge and alotta prayer I can clear my enviromental aura and recapture my cool.

Well, that's what is on my mind today.. how about you.. what'sup with YOU.

Hi Dave, Welcome on board.

Yes, we have an actual book project in the works. You are certainly welcome. Originally we thought that we'd be able to get a lot of us writing and telling tales. However a lot of folks don't like to write much. Right now it's Shameless_Heifer (Nailcakes), me, Sag Darel, and a few from Zev, Ellen, and Tillerwah. Some Ranger too. I was hoping for more. Thing have slowed down but we'll hustle it up come Springtime. Cakes always tell me to wait till the next season. LOL

Yes if you want to jump in, by all means go for it. A half page, 1 or 2 or 3 or 6 page tales that you wish to tell. The more the merrier. The basic idea is that we will all need some additional retirement money. We create a pie and then we each get the profits from our piece of the pie that we create. Sound fare?

Nailcakes has written the most pages so far. So than she would get her percentage of the profits as the thing starts to sell. Whatever percent that you create gets to be your profit percent of the property.

The idea for the book is kind of “not just” Good Earth, but “real life, back in the day.” Kind of life and hippie adventures. Just think of what would the public like to read about; the people, the Haight, and the 60s. They all want to know about sex drugs and rock 'n' roll. I'm guessing that we're experts on that. We can deliver to them. Our world public. Also, We all have some great tales to tell. Way more then just sex drugs and rock 'n' roll, but all that too.

Get as creative as you'd like. Don't care if there's swearing in it. Or if It gets pornographic, or whatever we write. It's all open. Drug tales can be true and specific, but vague on who or some other things. You know. Lurid details but not “sworn confessions.” And there is a statute of limitations. 7 years. Get creative. Have fun with it. You are your own expert hippie, telling the world, here. Anyway you want to.

We took the stories off of the web back in October. The amount of stories got too big and it became apparent that it all was real property of real money value that other might try and steal. So, that part is over with. Others who we didn’t know tried to steal everything. So for now it’s all Not online. I simply edit and proofread each person’s tale as they come in, and e-mail them back a clean copy of there tale.

I layout books for a living. I got the idea rolling. I kind of figure that if other people and companies are making money off of hippies, what the fuck. Why not US. Who deserves it more? Wallmart or US? I vote for us.

So yeah, we’re in it to tell our tales. We’re in it to keep things clear so that the kids today don’t get their opinions from the media, but from the folks that lived it and we are it. Like, the Truth. And if we put it out there we should all gain cash for our stories. Why not?

I’m hoping that we have enough to make a sellable start, by maybe May. We’ll have a completed book layout. PDF format. I’ll fill in a Fed copyright form with all of our names for each story or you may legally use a “pen name” if you don’t wish to include you true name. I can file the electronic files of the book and the form online to the Library of Congress, copyright section, with a $35 fee. At that point, we are Golden. Takes them 2 months to mail us back the official certificate. We can start selling e-books on Amazon and others. When we make enough money we can pay a printing company and a bookbinder to make real books and sell those, as well. For real.

This is intended to be an open-ended project. Multiple books, Volume 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Like that. I expect that others will join us and write more. And we will write more, ourselves. Everyone will get their percent. Hopefully, forever!

I’m at - (E-mail Deleted. - SEE YOUR Private Message.)

Most people write in Word and then attach their Word document to their e-mail and send it to me.

I am the guardian of everybody’s work, until the first copyright is filed. Then we can send a copy of everything to each of us. The whole deal. As I say. Maybe by May. The book will be in chapters of each year. Like 1967 chapter. 1968 chapter. 1969 chapter. Like that. So, far we’ve got stuff from 64 – 73. The years are open-ended too.
Try to tell me about what month and what year each of your stories each are so we can intertwine yours with the others in a correct sequence. Sound cool? One long SAGA. Everybody’s tellings.

As I say, it’s about the trip. The whole hippie saga. Not just Good Earth. Before you did Good Earth. After Good Earth. Before and getting to the Haight-Ashbury. The Haight-Ashbury. And After the Haight-Ashbury. Your whole time. The funny shit. The serious shit. Living, Loving. High times and down and out times. Flower children or street scuzz. You tell what you know. Your side of the story. While others can tell theirs. The readers will get it ALL. The full MIX. That’s the attraction here. Multiple views of the same thing.

So that’s the basic idea. One for all and all for one. Some of us are really into it. Others of us, not so much. Some write a lot. Some write a little. It’s all valid stuff. I’ve yet to see a crummy story. Every story seems to be about something totally different. It Rocks.

If you want to jump in, I’ll bet that your tall tales are as good as any of ours. Maybe better. As you write, remember your audience. We’re also writing to folks of all ages and to straights and to young people who don’t know our old slang. And hopefully this will be sold in Japan, France and China, so if you need to toss in an extra sentence to explain the meaning of a phrase or a slang term, that would make YOUR meaning real clear to the reader, please feel free to say it. Okay? Feel who you are telling your tale to. Just like you were really talking directly to them. Cool?

Most of all, Have Fun. If your not having fun with it, try again another day. If you are turned on in your writing it shows and it turns on the reader too. That’s the idea. Turn on the readers. Get ‘em High.

So, yes Dave, dive in. Write and send what you like. We’re hoping that it will all sell very well and that we’ll all get our rent paid forever. And perhaps much, much, more. Hopefully. Who knows?

Least we’re trying. Dig it!

Peace and Love,
Kenny :sunny:

 

P.S. Does anyone remember who Spacey Dave is? He's before my time. I think.

Ellen?

Dawn Marie?

Anybody?
