Eva

Hi Eva,

Love is The most important thing in the world, without it, where would we all be!

Good to know you will be physicly ready for the German-shows. I believe they are all standing, right! Will be 'heavy' but Fantastic!
See you in Oberhausen...and Wembley!

Am listening to Original Sin...amazing!

Cheers!

Was gonna watch Trapped tonight (new dvd and haven't even watched it yet!) but think i'll stay here instead...
:twisted:

Good idea, Cathie :D

[Testify]

Cathie, you can't play them online? Are you on a slow computer or webtv or are they just not working for you? They weren't designed to be downloaded (copyright problems, etc. I'm sure you'll understand). But they were meant to be enjoyed online, while they're up.

What happens when you try to get them?

i cant watch it either at home, cos its in real player n i aint got it, but i can watch em at school so everyone can hear!!!! :D :D :D :D

[Cathie]

Like that plan Testify...
Computers at my school are still out of action. Can I come to yours and use them?? Nothing is going to keep me from Meat!!

[Testify]

sure np, if u gimmi a time i can arrange to meet u cos i wont have a password at our school so u'll have to use mine :D

[MBrevard]

Cathie, you need to go to www.real.com and get their FREE Real One player. It's sort of hard to find the link to it, if my memory serves. They want you, of course, to buy their 'better' player, so they tend to hide the free one, which works just fine.

Then, you should have no problems getting these files to play for you.

Here, I just went to their website and I think this is the link:

http://www.realnetworks.com/products/media_players.html

And you probably need the first one on the list.

I hope this works. Been a while since I've had to install the RealOne Player. If you have problems, write to me either in a PM or via email. Okay? And I'll try to help you. You should be able to get all these files.

Whoops. Just saw your message, Testify. Can't you install the RealOne player, either?? I thought this would be a format most people could get. Sorry. :(

Hi, Eva!! I think a LOT of Dutchies are going to that concert!! Wish I were over there!! I'd LOVE to go!!!

Love,
MB

[Testify]

mum wont let me. :cry: but i can watch it at school, so i can use all my free periods watchin meat!! no probs!! :D

[Cathie]

Thank you MB!!!!!!
Gonna have to try it tomorrow...have to check with my dad before i do anything to his computer, which is a bit hard when he's in germany. I keep telling him if he lets me have the internet on my laptop we wouldn't have this problem...
Wow, really excited now. Hope it works, really looking forward to seeing the clips!

[MBrevard]

Well, sadly, the only problem is that I cannot keep the clips up here for very long. They were meant to be for the birthday celebration and that's about it. So, they will stay up for a day or two and then, I will have to take them down.

If you can't see them before I have to remove them, then email me. Okay? And I will work something out with you both--maybe not for all of them, but for some.

But try this first, if you can, or see about school, Testify. Then, if it doesn't work, we will talk about it.


Well time for me to try to get back on schedule with our Birthday Surprises.
So, here is our next one. (http://www.conubic.com/real/bdaycountdown2.html) A little more light reading for you, so Cathie and Testify can also enjoy this! :D

Hope more folks will continue to join us along the way to send Meat their birthday greetings!!!!

Happy Birthday, Meat! Many more happy, HEALTHY ones to come!!

[Michel]

Michel, thanks! What do you think Meat would think of all these birthday surprises, though?? Would he love this or hate this?? I can't decide! :?


I think he will love it. Everytime I get a suprise I love it, not always because it is a great suprise, but more of the idea people think of you to buy and give you an suprise.

So I think Meat will always love it.

[MBrevard]

Thanks, Michel! I worried about it because some of these are 'audience recordings.' And we know he doesn't want that at his shows, and yet, people still do it, when they can. So, I wasn't sure how he'd feel about them being shared in this way. And yet, what better way is there to celebrate a man like this, other than to watch him or listen to him perform!!!

Anyway, thanks! Hope you're enjoying the surprises, as well!!

Love,
MB

[Cathie]

V cool!! Love the photographs. Thanks.

[Testify]

thanks very much for this MB, your a star!!

[MBrevard]

You are welcome!! Wish I had more than just these three articles to share--plus the one from last week...I didn't have the chance to scan anymore of them in!!

Glad you enjoyed it, though!! I feel bad you haven't seen or heard anything else!! So, I'm thinking about it. :roll:

Love,
MB

[Testify]

[mariella]

:lol: Hi T. and C.!

Hope you will see the clips, they are great!
By the way, what did you think of that picture we just saw? I am almost falling asleep here, but seeing that picture nearly woke me up again. :lol:

Dear MB, NO, did not drink wine. DID eat the Whole pizza!!!
But the coffee is not working anymore at the moment. Will be back!

Am thinking about Meat and tonight's show. Wish all goes well!!!

This is a fantastic party!

Send you all my love,

Mariella

[MBrevard]

I've never been in chat. Is that here? Is there sound?? Or were you joking??

I haven't spent a lot of time in chatrooms. Guess I'm not too comfortable in them. Don't know why. It's just the way it is.

Hi, Mariella. Thought you went to bed!! :roll: Glad you enjoyed the pizza. I know what you mean about that coffee. My head keeps nodding...and it's only 2. :(

Ah well....almost time to put something else up. Be back shortly.

Love,
MB

[Cathie]

It's the chatroom on here. There is no sound but there are some cool animations around...there was a big party with singing, it's kinda dwindled a bit now, people are going to bed or posting elsewhere! Come if u can people. There aren't many of us left!

[MBrevard]

It's that time again, friends. We just keep cranking 'em out!!

Here is this hour's Birthday Party Surprise. (http://www.conubic.com/real/bdaycountdown2.html) It's a special song we can never hear enough!!

Sending love and best wishes to Meat on his special day (and also hoping, Mariella, that he's doing okay).

not been able to get near the computer much today...offspring and friends laid claim to it for much of the afternoon and evening :roll: :lol:

glad to see theparty's still going strong

Bren

[MBrevard]

Lots of hours left on this side of the pond, Bren!! :D Good to see you here!!

[Cathie]

:D :twisted: :D :twisted:

Having a lot of fun!!!

:D :D :D :D

[MBrevard]

Well, Meat's birthday only comes once a year...

Of course, from what I understand, at some of his concerts, he's known for saying it's his birthday night after night, when it isn't. Has anyone ever been to a concert where he's done this??

MB
xxx

[Cathie]

Haven't been to a concert yet. Going to my very first one in November. Gonna be fantastic. Will take note of any birthday references!
My computer is starting to play up a bit, think I might have worn it out.
Cathie x

[MBrevard]

Whoops. Sorry, Cathie! Hope your father won't be upset with you!!

I remember my first ML concert last year. It's something I will never forget!!!

I know yours will be just as memorable!!

Love,
MB

[heat]

At Cardiff last year, Meat told everyone that it was his birthday. We all sang happy birthday to him and someone even brought out a cake which he proceeded to eat and then he smashed his face into the rest of it.... 8O

[MBrevard]

Anybody get a picture of that, Heat? I'd love to have seen it.

Did the audience know that it wasn't his birthday, or did they believe him??

I wonder why he likes to do this? I wonder why he likes to play with the dates AND the years? :roll:

MB
xxx

[MBrevard]

Is it my computer or this forum acting a little funny when it's time to change pages?? I can't see the new page number until there are at least two messages on the page...

Isn't that odd? Been like that for me all day long.

[Feleena]

Happy Birthday Dear Meat!

Hugs

Feleenaxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[heat]

Everyone believed him - well...you would wouldn't you???

Sadly i didn't get any photo's of it though, but it was fun :D

MB - I had that problem with the forum too, so it's not just you :wink:

[MBrevard]

Thanks, Feleena! Nice to have you here!

Hope you got to see the "Surf's Up" video that was posted last week. I had read that you liked that song. :D

Love,
MB
xxx

[MBrevard]

Thanks, Heat! I was getting worried. I wonder if we should tell R. about it. Maybe it's something he should know about???

Everybody believed him??? What a riot!!! Wish I could have been there.

Did he deliberately stick his face in the cake or was it 'pushed' by someone else??

MB
xxx

[Cathie]

Wow! wish i could have seen that!
and MB...my dad comes back next week. will just give the computer a lot of rest and possibly the kiss of life and hope it will be ok!!

[heat]

He did it deliberately...then he licked the frosting of his chin..he looked soooo fine :wink: :P


I wonder what Meat DID get for his birthday? I hope he liked it, whatever it was 8)


Myself and a Mrs. M did offer to jump out of a cake for him, but we couldn't get the cake to America without damaging it!!! 8O :roll:

[MBrevard]

Hey, Cathie, I was just thinking--if mine were doing that, I wouldn't quite know where to 'kiss' it?!!! :mrgreen:

I'd probably know a LOT of places to KICK it, though!!! :!: I have a love/hate relationship with these machines! Love 'em when they're working and hate them when they don't--which is a lot of the time!!!

Good luck with it!!!

Oh, now Heat--I would have given ANYTHING to see that!!!!

I hope he had a good birthday, too!! He deserves to have some pleasure in his life with everything he's been going through lately!!!!

MB
xxx

[Cathie]

Sounds fantastic Heat!

I've got the same problem MB, never quite sure what I'm doing when it comes to computers. The love/hate relationship lives on...

I've got to go but this party has just been the best! :D

Thanks MB for such a great thread and all the wonderful surprises.

Happy Birthday Meat!!

:D :D :D :D

Cathie xx

[MBrevard]

Take good care, Cathie. Hope to talk with you again soon!!!

Thanks for being a part of this!!! :D

[Guppie]

he he... this topic was SO much fun. I enjoyed the cyberparty and want to state again that I am NOT responsible for the pizza stains on MB's rug, only for the nuts in cyberspace and maybe a broken bottle of wine :lol:

he he... it's almost 0.30 AM over here, so I'm off.
Thanks to MB for making this topic and for all the surprises. :)

I'll be sure to attend next year's party on Meat's birthday for sure.

Sweet dreams,
Guppie

[MBrevard]

Thanks, Guppie, for being a special part of this! You'll find a few more "surprises" when you wake up and stop by here tomorrow! :D

Glad you had a good time. It was fun!!!

Many many thanks MB for the surprises you've provided thoughout today.
I've still got some to catch up on but seems to be a problem accessing them at present. The last one I listened to was Original Sin and I'm going to bed happy for having heard that. Its 12.45 here and I'm getting sleepy.
Well done MB for having kept going so long and for making this day special.
Love, Em

It was a great party, and also great Birthday Suprises.

MBrevard thank you, thank you, thank you, for a topic that supersedes anything that has gone before.

The birthday surprises were magnificient, (only just started to catch up on them) :D

I'm sure everyone here on the forum sends big kisses and hugs to a very special person (in that mirror) that made this topic so very special for Meat .
