Look, I don't drive. Okay? For various personal reasons. Most of them have to do with laziness and physical cowardice etc., but I also like to cite the fact that Ian never, never, never took and/or passed a driver's ed test.
HOWEVER, the dear lads (NOT just Ian, but the acoustical get up) are going to be playing in about half a year in the San Fernando Valley. For those of you unfamilair with the geography of my neck 'o the woods, I would have to start walking now to reach my eventual goal.
Of course, my relations are using this as a prime example to pressure me into getting a license. Naturally they want free rides.
But THEIR opinion isn't important to me; the opinions of people who live across the ocean that I'll never meet IS. So, should I be drive-less, like an Ian, or drive for the Ian? ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh?

fine..
I don't drive either, but when I lived in L.A. and I went to a show (I saw Rush at the Forum in 86) I took good ole RTD. But I'm guessing it doesn't go to San Fernando..? |

Simply following in his footsteps does no one any good. A true lover of Teh Tull would help out Ian by driving him anywhere he pleases. -------------   |

I don't want to own a car, and really don't need one. However, in order to get my license reinstated (it was revoked), I now have to buy a car.

ALRIGHT! I think I have found the solution! I'll email Ian, and explain the whole thing to him.
Or, at least, create an email from any of my various accounts saying: "Dear Ian, should I get a driver's license?" It's flawless, except he won't respond.

I say drive for Ian. Being someone just learning how to drive, I don't think it's too hard and will be totally worth it. Who knows, next time, he might be playing even further away and you'll still know how to drive and not have to think about kidnapping. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

A more persuasive argument would be: "Think about it Whistler; if you learned to drive, not only would you be able to track down Ian faster and easier, but you'd also have a trunk to stash him in en route to the basement!" Say...maybe this driving thing IS a good idea... ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

In that case, get an ice cream truck. It's good for storage and for providing captives with tasty frozen dairy ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

Great. In my email, I'll ask Ian what his favourite iced cream is, and I'll recommend he wear a sweater for that particular concert (no reason). ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.

No, that'll only happen if she see's him IN THE PASSION PLAY. But the passion play goes all the way, so maybe this is all the passion play. So perhaps it WOULD be best to avoid the ice-cream lady. I'M CONFUSED! ------------- |

You know what? Anybody coming into this who doesn't want to take the time out to read the first post will have NO IDEA what this is about; they'll figure the purpose of the poll is somehow related to kidnapping a certain minor celebrity. Of course, with options like "FOR the Ian," and a title like "Decide the Whistler's Future...PART 2!" I get the feeling that the people who bothered to look are the kind of people who'd actually vote. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.

Holy crap, that's brilliant! We can just give the gas station attendant a copy of Aqualung; I'm sure Ian keeps a bunch of those with him wherever he goes.
Of course, if he's just got a bunch of Crest of the Knaves, we'll have to use money. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

Hire a chaffeur and a private bus, as Ian do. What's the name of his touring bus, "Sarah Jane" I think?

HA! Not likely. Ian would surely suspect something was wrong if a limo picked him up; no, ice cream truck is much safer. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.
