Question on phrase
PatK
I have a question on a phrase that I've heard here several times. In
the episode A Happy Life, several people talk about 'bowling for
Vincent'. What is this??

toward Vincent and practically "bowls" him over. I'm still amazed he
didn't
actually fall upon impact. Nah, on second thought...... ;-)

Dianne was the first person I noticed who used the phrase 'bowling for
Vincent'. Dianne, darling, could you help us out? Is it referring to this
scene? Thanks!

Sure, A-M,
The above scene is it. Teri described it perfectly in her post.
One of the things we noticed when I lived in Florida was that a lot of folks
use the same scenes over and over in their music videos. (oh yes, newbies
,there are B & B music videos) We joked about starting a scene reference
guide for when you call your girlfriend on the phone to plan the video . It
would go something like.
#1 "bowling for Vincent" --A Happy Life
#2 "the soul kiss" -- A Happy Life
#3 V & C in bed--- Orphans
#4 Vincent jumping off the threater balony -- "The Hollow Men".
#5 V & C dancing ---"Dead Of Winter"
on & on
Then you can go "When the music says la-la-de-da we put in #1 then we go to
# 45 then # 241." But we only got about 5 done cause by then we got so hot
and bothered we had to go watch the show itself. Everyone knows the "soul
kiss", right? It's the first time you actually throw something at the TV,
right.

Aaaaaaaaaah! I thought I put this in the disclaimer! You guys are so
great. All I can say is that I'll try. It will be a while, since Cathy
and I are hard at work on a different on (the Rebecca & Pascal one!).
Think you'll be up to another one, Cath? I couldn't do it without the
world's greatest editor... :-)

Lori:
Last year was my first convention and I just couldn't get over all the stuff
to be had! I mean, there are a lot of really talented people out there in
this fandom! I also was quite impressed with Claire's artwork and didn't
bring nearly enough money to buy any of her original paintings, but like you,
grabbed up a few of her (8X10) prints. I think they were about $6 or $7
each. I got the one of Vincent on the staircase in the Chamber of the Winds,
but my favorite was one of the Vincent portraits. It looked like an actual
photo rather than a painting, it was THAT good! Damn, I missed the
anatomically correct Vincent statue in the art show!! I think I wandered
through the art room (Kristopher Gentian's Studio) at least three or four
times while drooling on my bib! Anyway, I mostly bought zines which make for
excellent reading on the trip home (if you can save them without reading them
for that long). I saw new zines anywhere from $15 to $25 (averaging about
$18 - $20???). Used zines, of course, are quite a bit less (look for boxes
full of used zines under the dealers' tables.) Folks, your cash will be gone
in the blink of any eye because you will want a little of everything. Food
suddenly becomes unimportant (gee, breakfast and lunch? or a zine? Hmmmm.
Tough decision!) Here's an idea: Pack your extra zine suitcase full of
snacks, eat them all during the con, then you'll have room for your loot on
the way home! I don't think I'll mention how much stuff goes for in the art
auction. It will blow you away.

Janice-
If you are referring to the sonnet that follows (boldface text marking words
C actually read in the episode):
Surprised by Joy--impatient as the Wind
I have turned to share the transport--Oh! With whom
But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb,
That spot which no vicissitude can find?
Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind--
But how could I forget thee? Through what power?
Even for the least division of an hour,
Have I been so beguiled as to be blind
to my most grievous loss?-- That thought's return
Was the worst pain that sorrow ever bore,
Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn,
Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more;
That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight thy heavenly face restore.
Then it is Sonnet XXVII Surprised by Joy--Impatient as the Wind
by William Wordsworth
Is that the one you mean?

I can't put names to most of the faces but /the/Eric Tullis
is there, that handsome devil. :)
I've had the pics since right after the Con in Norfolk. I scanned
them in, put them in the 3 web pages, and had second thoughts
about using them and in time forgot all about them. I've finally
decided to link them in and ask folks if they want to have
their picture there or not.
I didn't say that anywhere on the lh page, did I?
Gotta fix that right away. Good thing you asked.

Are you trying to *warn* us of the cost of things so we know to bring ALOT
of money? Okay, I think I'm ready, give us a hint.

I've already started that, too. I've got six rolls of film just sitting
and waiting for convention. More patiently than I am, I might add. :)
142 days and counting. . .

Lori,
Thank you so very much for the transcript! I missed the show and would have
forever wondered what she said, especially if there was anything BatB!
Your hard work is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,

I was 24. I don't think you should worry so much about being the right age,
just worry about it being the right man. I'm a firm believer in 'You'll know
when its right'. Don't ask me how, but you will, if it is. There were a
several men before my husband that I thought I could have married, but when I
met Paul, I KNEW it was right. : ) It was good timing too that I was about
to graduate from college.
I think you've got a good head on your shoulders, and a lot of faith. I'm
not worried about you making the right decision. : )

Terri I love your list. The first romantic moment came to my mind was
Everything is Everything. I remember stilling in shock as Vincent pulled
Catherine toward him. Knowing that they were going to kiss only to be let
down....hard..
Can I say it too.....Damn that Koslow!!!
