I nominate Curtis Thornton (themudking).

I might throw my hat in the ring just so I can stop commuting to Cincinnati and start working from home again like a proper web dev

Also a good idea! bdubb I go to Dayton a lot, you local to there or in Kentucky?

[b_dubb]

Dayton unfortunately. A boom town gone bust. Thank god Wright-Patt is still open for business otherwise it would be Mad Maxx/Detroit up in here

[Roswells, Art]

I nominate Curtis Thornton (themudking).

Yeah, Curtis.  I've listened to a few specsheets with him and MV.  He is nice and calm at all times and he seems to know his shit to boot.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

Dear god... This isn't the early 90's, guys like Keith are a dime a dozen. I think there is a reason drama follows Art though. In a more perfect world, Art would still have KYNE and would be enjoying a semi-retirement sometimes taking over the late night hours of his station doing what he does best. Art needs professionals and not friends to do this. That includes a producer who challenges him. "Art through adversity"...haha.

[smithy]

That pretty much sums the whole thing up in a nut shell.

Way too much happens behind the scenes for me to really comment... Hopefully it can get sorted out one way or the other.  People have mentioned that Keith is not a people person- and (as has been mentioned), sometimes people "snap" and later regret it.  I will start allowing myself to worry come the weekend if nothing has moved...

Keith deals with tech stuff all day so he is not expected to be warm and fuzzy.  People slamming his WP site have to realize he is doing this for FREE!!! Actually he is paying for all these insults slung at him. I wouldn't want that job. 

Whoever takes on the task is going to be looking at close to a full time job without pay. It takes a special person to do that but eventually most people crack under the weight of trying to pay their bills and devote time to volunteer endeavors.   I salute Keith for all he has done and hope this all works out so we can anticipate Art Bell's return.  What a long strange trip it's been!

[MV/Liberace!]

Jesus H. Christ on a Popsicle stick!!

My head is about to explode. THIS is the one sad thing in my life right now. It took 50 years, but everything is good... Except no Art Bell and Midnight in the Desert.

I mean I made it to 50 and don't even have a health issues or erectile dysfunction. All of that good luck... then this.

Well shit.

everything will be fine.  and post more often, btw.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

In some alternate reality, Ramona is still with us and we are enjoying a new episode of Dark Matter/Midnight or whatever they have in their awesome timeline. Ramona was so important in the equation. Keith can't handle the business like she could.

[Coz]

I'd love to... but for the last two years there's been nothing to talk about except... there's a show... there's not a show.... there's a show... there's not a show.... Noory sucks.... he has a show.... there's a show.... there's not a show.

I'm so frustrated I'm about to do my own show!

[MV/Liberace!]

I think you should have sold BellGab when you had a chance.

Too soon?

oh my.

[stevenotero]

Nothing can stop this hype train, Art will be on the air this summer.

[MV/Liberace!]

that's two dimensional thinking, sir.

No one can. Ramona was perfect for that role. She could even occasionally tell Art to fuck off and he would just have to take it  .

Curtis would be perfect in my opinion. He is the first person I thought of. I doubt he would do it though.

There as got to be come connections Art has made. He needs to find someone he can trust, who is competent, and can put up with Art. I bet Art would even admit he can be difficult to work with.

I wonder if Bateman know's anyone at WABC who is interested?

[nooryisawesome]

So Art is going to build a $20,000 studio, he is going to have a massive urge to want to use it.

[Paradox]

BTW, in a sidebar, I am officially apologizing to MV and other members for the fax I sent during the last GabCast show.  As you can tell I am very new to BellGab and wasn't familiar with the history of the forum.  Not only was it a dumb question, I saw later that it was redundant as I had forgotten to rip the top part of the page with my even more illegible scribbling off. 

I'm claiming migraine due to lack of herb.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[Corona Kitty]

Im not at all surprised, i said horrible things about keith, however they all turned out to be true. I told you art, i knew he was a snake, not to align yourself with him. This is a blessing in disguise, if art can link up with those willing to help, he can still make his return.

[Bounder]

<stupid>

I distinctly recall that this feller is fully trained and experienced in code-fu:



The only caveat â€" Art would have to be alright with a new badge at his site:



</stupid>

i have framed that fax and placed it above my bed, sir.  nothing to apologize for.  please keep the faxes coming.

[WOTR]

Where can I find a copy of said fax?  (I have to assume that I am never going to see the original that is framed above MV's bed...)  This sounds like it must have been great!

[Catsmile]

Ok. How many virgins do we need to sacrifice to make this happen?

I'd offer myself up, but I lost my cherry long ago. But I still have the box it came in!

[NXOEED]

Oh, for fuck's sake.

[WhiteCrow]

I nominate Curtis Thornton (themudking).

I second that.

[Paradox]

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Exactly.  Well put.

I can vouch for b_dubb too. Bloke's top shelf. That's Aussie for great guy.

[Eddie Coyle]

   That's Canadian for shooting the puck into the net just under the crossbar.

That's strange because THAT is Aussie for; Shit I might have just gotten her pregnant.

lmao

[SnapT]

But he might be this evil. I mean he looks like it.

On C2C just now Noory said that a cop would be justified in shooting someone in the back if they believed that person was about to set fire to a building.  Even his racist cop-defending guest couldn't agree with that logic.

Noory is a bloodthirsty comicbook supervillain.  Paying off Jimmy Olsen to prevent Superman from starting a competing show would be child's play to Dave.

   Yikes. That quickly becomes "where are my Doc Martens" territory.

Maybe it's a good thing he went into radio where he can only damage people's minds.
