What a Surprise!
Around dinner time tonight I got an email from Spider Forum member Mark Pinksten -- a pleasant surprise in itself -- where he told me something that was a yet bigger surprise: That my `77 Spider had been chosen as IAP's Car of the Month.
Here's a paste up of the pertinent part of IAP's email...

Wow...
So how much money do you have to spend at IAP to be customer of the month?
Just joking....
Your car might be in two catalogs this month.. An IAP and the other one.

I dunno... I've had a fan thermostat switch in my shopping cart for about four months. Maybe they figure this way I'll actually buy the thing.markpink wrote:Wow...

Yes, its been quite the summer. And my band's first "LP" in 45 years due for release in October. Damn what a year!markpink wrote: Your car might be in two catalogs this month.. An IAP and the other one.
Everyone always told me youth was supposed to be the best time of life. Don't believe it folks. It's not so. It's not so!

Re: What a Surprise!
Hey Don
Congrats on the LP. I have been trying to pull together songs from my 1970's band to put on ITunes for a while and I still need to work on it.
If you have a LP, does that mean it will come in 8-Track as well?

Re: What a Surprise!
Hey Mark,
Saw you and your son on Rt 101A. That doofus in the red Versa that waved as he passded was me. Boy was I jealous. I'm stuck in my commuter box and you're driving in the Fiat with the top down! (And you car's looking GOOD!)
Life is fun and funny, isn't it?
Good one about the 8-Track, but that was (believe it or not) after our time!
But it is coming out first on vinyl. An upscale collectors pressing with a full history of the band. On the German Break-A-Way label. A CD may follow. As I said, all fun and unexpected. Like the car on IAP. One never knows what goodies life will bring.
"Smile at the universe and it will smile back." That's my credo.

Several months ago a whole odd chain of events led to the album. I'd posted a video of the group on YouTube and then learned that our "forgotten" `mid-sixties song "Always Always" had, unbeknownst to us, become a bit of a cult classic, even to the point of being included in Greg Shaw's "Essential Pebbles Vol.II. But no one knew who were were -- not even Greg! So when I posted the video and answered a question "Have you actually seen this record?" and said (quite innocently) "yeah, its hanging on my wall framed, I was the lead guitarist in the band" things went nuts. Music historian Mike Dugo snared me for an "exclusive interview" and the rest is, as they say, becoming "history." (http://www.60sgaragebands.com/abstracts.html )markpink wrote: Congrats on the LP.

Re: What a Surprise!
Hi Don,
I honestly did not see you. But there was a lot of traffic that night.
My son and I were going to a new Italian place near Walmart. It's my new favorite place to eat.
The Fiat get together is coming up on Sunday Sept 11 at Gardner's House in Ashby. Are you going?
And I were recommend bringing your car to the Larz on Oct 16 at the Tutto Italiano Autumo Show. Your car would have easily won if you went to the underwater event held in August.
Thanks
Mark

Re: What a Surprise!
Mark,
First I've heard of the event at Gardner's. But I sure had a good time last year so if my somewhat crazy schedule allows I'd enjoy going. Same for the Larz event. Many fine memories of those from past years!
Thanks.

Re: What a Surprise!
Gardner's get together is always the Second Sunday in September.
The date has been the same for 20 years.
The email about it usually doesn't get sent out until 4 or 5 days before the event.
I saw a lot of the Fiat people that go to the event two weeks ago at the Vermont Trip and they were talking about the picnic.
We will probably get an email in a day or two about it.
