you seem to like art serge, did you know i have helped curate and organize art exhibits in nola including warhol and basquiat exhibits, as well as Dale Chihuly venice glass exhibits?

I gave cherry personal after hours tours of some of the finest art in nola.

that is a good time.

going through a Koontz, and humidity controlled 3 million dollar Lichtensteins with a video camera and a beer.

good times are all we know brother.

And here I was with the impression that you were a loud mouth, uncultured git!!!!

You should show this other side more often - it will work better on oprano than telling us about how much you drank last night!

>>I've been hanging out with Fletch on and offline since 97, so I guess its not a big deal to me seeing his presence on what is just a message board.

These might be 'just messageboards' but in Oprano's case, we have more original (ynot days) webmasters than any other board - a group of people who have been doing business together for 5-7 years ... in that time i've met & done business with almost all of the people who post here & consider message boards, icq & conventions combined to be responsible for that.

There's always someone who wants to try to belittle the 'message board' ideal because what they've experienced is gfy and others such boards where signatures are for sale & people post for no other reason than to whore their products ... watching the evolution from 'hangout' to 'stand alone business' has been interesting for sure & can be applied to ANY online business ...

Message boards are an industry unto themselves - they sell advertising, build relationships ... job titles have even been spawned from the way the adult industry uses boards - i told a mainstream client the other day that they needed a 'boardwhore' ... when i explained what a boardwhore was he was impressed that our shady industry has such an organised marketing 'system' ...

Liking the people you do business with enough to want to chat to them on a daily basis is fucking lucky!!

Long live message boards!!!
