I am afraid I have bad news.
I write this to all of you through my tears.
The show is just not making enough money to continue.
I want to thank all of you for the crazy nights and fun times we had.
I will miss you painfully as I do not know how to do anything but this show for so long now.

I want to thank Marty, Adrienne, both Mikes, and Danielle for their recent help,
you have kept us off the street for another month
while I figure out how we will survive.

Here are our baby Sequoias, I took this photo today.
Seeing them grow gives me hope
that not all is lost.

-Heather Wade

This is all so very confusing.

Glad to see you're still around.

What's happened to Brig?

FOKS
this is it
i am done
good ridence

bobo

Does this mean you couldn't set up the meeting with Ramona? Try a Ouija Board or a Medium.

Where's BoBo? He hasn't quit yet today. Based on his last post mentioning a meeting with Ramona maybe someone should tell him she died years ago.

Thank you for telling us what everyone here already knows. Did you know Art has a FaceBook page where he gives updates? Also Keith Rowland and Heather Wade has kept us updated on Art's status. What world do you live in?

Brad Beard, 24, and Samantha Canipe, 21, of Gaston, NC were arrested Monday night for assaulting each other with pizza rolls.  They were released from Gaston County Jail after posting $2,500 bail.

I'm guessing Beard and Canipe are Coast Insiders who met on ParanormalDating.Com?

You are supposedly good friends with Art but you don't know Ramona died years ago? Go away BoBo, you are a moron. You are neither funny nor entertaining so I can only suspect you are mentally ill.

FOLKS
JUST TO BE CLEAR, I GUESS ART DOES NOT VISIT THIS SITE MUCH REGULARLY, SO WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIM TO SEE THE POST AND REACT.
I HAVE NO DOUBT HE WILL AS WE ARE VERY CLOSE AND PERSONEL FRIENDS.
I HAVE NO WAY TO LET HIM KNOW THAT I HAVE REQUESTED HIS CONTRIBUTION TO MY
IMPORTANCE ON THIS MATTER THAT WE ALL HOPE AND PREY WILL BE SUCESSFULL.

I WILL UPDATE YOU ALL WHEN I HERE SOMETHING, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY OCURE RIGHT HEAR ON THIS BOARD, SO WE WILL ALL SEE AT THE SAME TIME.

THANKS AGAIN...KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE

BOBO

Since you and Art are close and personal friends so why don't you phone him. Don't have his phone number? Hmmm?

Quote from: bobo17 on May 02, 2016, 07:02:05 PM
All
ITS OVER. IT IS COSTING ME TOO MUCH MONEY AND TIME.
I GET NO RESPECT ON THIS BORD AND I DESERVE MORE RESPECT.
THIS IS MY FINAL POST.
I HATE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU YOU BELLGABBERS.
I WILL NOT BE TRICKED INTO RETURNING WITH A FEW NICE WORDS.

GOOD RIDENCE TO A THANKLESS CROWD OF LOOSERS.

bobo

Promise?

Guys
Can we PLEASE get back to the very important MEETING that i am organizing?
all this talk about heather etc, will only be resolved with the MEETING.
please, concentrate on me and my importance to all of us.
the MEETING is the only thing that realy matters.
The MEETING is what will make or break our listening pleasure.
DO to the number of friends of art who want to attend, it is taking a lot longer to organize
a specific date.  Do not be dissapointed, the MEETING will take place as soon as possilbe.

thanks to art for the nice inbox message and to all the others.
unfortuanately, with over 4,000 inbox messeages, i had to delete them all inorder to stay
organized.  if you sent me a message and did not recieve a reply, no that i read them all
and appreciate them all.

i am working on the MEETING, but all this other talk on the forum is taking away from the
importance of the MEETING and my importance.
don't despair, i am working as hard as i can and will update you all..hopefully shortly

bobo

Please make an appointment with your Psychiatrist and have your meds adjusted. The voices in your head have obviously taken over.

Guys
you are ALL missing the point!
I am the only one who can save this situation.
I no all the people, art keith, bob and sue crane etc.
I can solve this.
I just need the respect and admiration from my fellow bellgabbers and all will be well

Please please recognize how important i am to the future of Art Bell being in radio
I will give you a nother warning....if you don't give me support, consider my offer
of saving this unfortunate situation done...I will not be mocked by posters who have contributed
nothing to the sucess of Art.
I am the one who can solve all this stuff and finally get rid of heather and bring back
Art.
Support me and we will be fine, mock me and it will be all yours fault.
I will keep a score card and if the unthinkable happens, i will post all the names of those
who screwed it up.

you have been warned for the last time.
lets make this happen
bobo

Why don't you stop listening to the voices in your head and just go away.

Quote from: aldousburbank on January 23, 2016, 07:05:00 PM
Ok, so saying it was my last post was premature...

But what Saucy Rossy is saying is true and I feel a responsibility to clarify my "insider knowledge" at the risk of being labeled as a white knight. (As if I care)

My wish to not participate here is not about me wanting to take my ball and go home because  some trolls made me mad. It is more a matter of my own sense of self respect, where and how I choose to spend my time- the difference between fun and not, interesting discourse versus unhealthy character assassination  When the public smearing descends into inferences of some kind of nefariously amorous relationship between Art and Heather, every shred of decency that I have in me says stay away from this place. I understand that throwing poop is an act that primates engage in and that online anonymity emboldens those lacking any sense of honor to hurl their fact-free feces with no responding consequences, but this is the sport of cowards. And so it is to these empty sacks of witless humanoids that I address this post. Knowing that Heather and Art have too much class to respond to such specious allegations themselves, I will do that myself since I played a part in, and have been a witness to much of what has transpired backstage in the past 6 months, and it seems like the only helpful and honest thing that I can offer my friend Heather, the genuine and decent people of the Bell family, and the readers of this forum.

Because I have had a long and fruitful history of associating with the most interesting people I can find,  I can honestly claim that I am a well seasoned and well calibrated judge of character. I have lived with cops and also have been locked up with murderers. Swept up around the ashram for years and also rolled with rock stars, psychedelic gurus, and all manner of hooligan. I've associated with the most free living and free loving feral humans I could find and also have had very deep relationships with celibates who I hold in the category of saints. I know a few things about the variety of human nature and did not just get on this pony ride. In this carnival midway of humanity it is possible with time, to gain an understanding of the personal qualities that you gravitate toward or are repelled from.

Heather and I chose to become friends through a process of getting to know each other initially through BellGab, via online correspondence. Based on my sense of what quality of person I appreciate and wish to associate with, over an extended period of time I invited Heather to participate in the reality of my personal and home life. My situation was and is not perfect, nor was or is hers, but we have managed to show up for each other's actual, non-virtual lives with mutual respect and little or no room for bs. As  a recently divorced guy you might say I was missing female companionship and yet (I know you're wondering) we've kept our relationship platonic. I say this to state a standard of our behavior together, friends not lovers. Consider it a character reference if you will, mostly for myself, since my folks were decent people who did not raise me to associate with degenerates or fools or to lie, even to strangers.

I am no eagle scout either but you see, Heather is an individual with real couth, not someone who presents herself as even vaguely sexually suggestive, inappropriate, or flirtatious. Honestly, I enjoy getting hit on by the ladies but our friendship IS our destination and we've had an easy time arriving here in spite of all our natural hormonally instinctive attractions being present and accounted for thank you very much. I believe that we've each developed a trusting sense of our respective boundaries over time, which I am grateful for, as it allows us to have the kind of friendship in which we can travel and spend time together without the added complicated dimension of intimacy, however potentially awesome it might/could be. FYI I'm only relating this "approaching embarrassing" info so that I can move on to the next paragraph with some context. There has been both genuine interest and disingenuous speculation from posters that I have held back from commenting on so here goes.

It was completely my inspiration, my urging, to suggest that Heather contact Art to request an interview. Not to detract from Heather in any way but she was not initially even able to entertain the idea as likely. I bugged her to make contact with Art several times because it was clear to me that she was highly respectful of the man's desire for privacy and would not assume to bother Art for an interview without my urging. Heather in fact objected to my suggestion several times but in my natural born state of hippie optimism ( yeah I know, all you pop-psychology Einsteins must be checking the boxes for magical thinking, wish fulfilling whatever) I assured her that since Art had heard her on the gabcast, he would remember her ability to articulately converse and would be likely to respond. Admittedly the interview was a long shot, but I also had a gut sense about the perfect matchup of her knowledge of his body of work and the timing of his upcoming release from the non-disclosure choke collar.  Also, Pahrump happens to lie in my annual summer adventure/migratory route so I invited her to join me in my travels as I was going anyway.

She was genuinely surprised that Art agreed to our proposal while I not so genuinely acted like I was not. But we went and Art and Airyn treated us as well as anybody ever could. Opening their home to us as new friends was an honest act of honest people, and I was immediately aware that we were in a home with lots of love and genuine affection. These are people that my mom and dad would have been comfortable being with. If you can sense wholesome, well it was like a sweet incense wafting with the fragrance of loving parents raising their child with the best of every impulse they've got. I know what that feels like and apparently some posters do not but you can trust me, it's not something you can fake. The rapport between husband and wife was one of mutual respect and equanimity with no whiff of false compliancy or facade or guile. Art and Airyn clearly are in love with each other and Asia is a very lucky young person to have them guiding her into this world.

This is exactly why it pisses me off that it can be considered fair sport, genuinely speculative discourse, or anything other than rancid and disgusting to state or imply or cheer on the idea that something amorous or sexual was or has been involved in Heather and Art's working or personal relationship. I was there. I have been there with Heather since. I continue to be an active part of her life. (Happy to have had her as a guest for the holidays)  We tell each other our stuff and keep the communications straight up. The point being that I would not continue to associate with Heather were she anything other than what I personally know her to be, which is fair and eager to do the right thing. And I would not support her inserting herself into or influencing Art and Airyn's life in any other than an appropriate and constructive way. And if such was not the the case, I would be the first to inform you all publicly and wash my hands of the whole thing. To put it another way, your rancid grease splattering is pissing me off not just because it slanders and hurts my friends who are genuinely good people, but because it implicates me in some sort of obfuscated, ongoing love plot which I am not enough of a lowlife to even try to comprehend, much less entertain. Those of you who lack the decency or intellect or ethics to keep your minds out of the gutters should at least keep the gutters in your mind and not on the internet. Certainly not on a forum which I formerly enjoyed. Grow up. And I say this not because Heather needs defending but because some people are just idiots and I'm here stating the obvious.

Now that all that's out of the way let me summarize and add a few points:

Heather was introduced to Art by my instigation and she was never attempting to inject herself into Art's or his show's orbit.

Heather's and Art's interactions were nothing but mutually respectful and professional. My sense of their personal chemistry was and is one of mentorship on Art's part, and correspondingly that of potential student/apprentice on Heather's part. And I mean this in the most positive of ways. Apprenticeship is a thing you know, and the natural instinct to learn/teach/pass on a craft is in our cultural genes. There is no gain from folding, mutilating, or stapling this type of relationship into a banal ambition unless you are an unimaginative social imbecile lacking sufficient talent to have your own life.

Art impressed me as straightforward in the sense that he IS who you hear on the radio. He's had the cajones enough to share his private life through his public platform which is obviously something we've valued to the extent that we're all here moaning, bitching, and otherwise gnashing our teeth about it. Maybe he's rethinking this transparent aspect of his career but you can't then blame him for sharing while simultaneously piling on undeserved accusations. It's a ride. You may not appreciate how it's gone but figure it out- what pisses any of you all off is that you believe he hasn't been straight in the walking his talk or has been a quitter. But guess what? Met the guy, shook his hand, and Art is the rare kind of person who I'd trust with my kids. What more can I say? Impugning the character of a man who has entertained you as a reaction to being pissed at your daddy only reflects a lack of integrity of the troll's own personal bridge. Maligning and fictionalizing the guy's love life is beyond contempt and while or where that's happening I will not engage, other than to remind you that you're pissing in your own wind.

Regarding the freedom of speech excuse for defamation of character and garden variety cyber bullying- well sure, MV owns this board so you are free to pass gas as long as he finds it tolerable for whatever ostensible reasons of entertainment or monetization. But let's not confuse hurtful cyber slander with "freedom of speech" which more accurately pertains to the inalienable right to speak our minds free from governmental censorship, not some mistaken justification to wipe a dirty mind with a Jeffersonian hanky. It's like cloaking the need for a bath with a fine perfume. It only insults your intelligence but it won't mine as I'm not sufficiently ignorant enough to confuse the two. 

Sincerely,
ab

Well said. This used to be a fun place. Not anymore.

I think this forum is having a psychotic breakdown. 

Art Bell Sucks dot com. Has that domain been taken yet?

Quote from: albrecht on January 04, 2016, 12:24:31 PM
I listened to the MITD Prediction Show and think Heather did a fine job. Sure, not as good as Art (or Ian) did in the past but for a first timer? And it was much better than Norry's which I also listened too and he has had 13 years (+/-) experience, as he proclaimed many times, on the air. I know that NOrry bar is a low one but still for a rookie to beat a major player? Good job.

I thought it was her best show yet.

BellGab - THE Art Bell Fan Forum

Really??? Is this a joke?

This is no longer an Art Bell fan forum, It is not a Heather Wade fan forum. I really don't know what it is now. Maybe it should go back to a George Noory Sucks forum. People here just seem to love to hate on things and people.

I just can't handle this anymore. I'm getting off this crazy train.

Art Bell.

Quote from: Faustina on September 19, 2015, 07:52:04 PM
This is my guess, too.  He already stated, yesterday I think, in a comment in the thread on the public FB page, that he was not retiring. 

I bet he has struck a deal with Cumulus to syndicate MITD and finally agreed to letting them put in more commercial time (which is going back on his stated decision of a couple weeks ago, but he may very well either have changed his mind or else the parties reached a compromise on that issue).

Yes, this is my speculation as well.

"A shock for some."

I take that as meaning not his fans for that would not be a shock for some but for a hell of a lot of people. My guess is that he made a deal with Cumulus Radio and will be in a time slot going head to head with Coast. If you remember before he went to Sirius/XM Cumulus had made him an offer.

Quote from: Morgus on September 03, 2015, 11:59:31 PM
Some of the old forums like one of the last callers promoted were pro-Noory forums until last month when Art returned.
But unlike them, bellgab has always been pro-Art and anti-Noory, never changing that position!

Ever heard the term, "Those who throw stones..."?  :

Quote from: Art Bell on August 29, 2015, 02:51:35 PM
Well I got Skype figured out, a day late. I know people wanted Paranormal stories but in a show with a Jury it's just tough to ask them that BUT I will give it a try.

I like trying new stuff, sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. But if you never try new stuff you just end up doing the same old thing, I will keep experimenting.

Art

I really enjoyed last night's show. It was fun to play along with truth or trash.
