Where Are You? - Put Your Pin on the Map

[David Hooper]

A good way for newbies to connect...

Google has a new "app" called "Frappr." It's a map that allows people to place "pins" as to their location as well as upload a photo and a short message about themselves. It's pretty cool and lets you know where others are located...

I've created a Frappr account for people in the music business so we can see where in the world people are located.

Go visit our Frappr map, register and place a pin on where you are...

Looking forward to seeing where everyone is located!

This is a pretty cool app., but it might be cooler to have one just for people on this BBS. For the Homerecordists, rather than the music biz folks. I realize there's a lot of carry over though.... Maybe that is where those people came from, but I didn't recognize many names, I guess.

Andy, I used to live in Ypsi. At the Ladies Literary Guild house on Washtinaw.

Where's the uk

Hmm...couldn't see a map for the UK. Does this mean it's only the US that's in the music business?

Ypsi as in Ypsilanti, as in the asshole of Ann Arbor? Just kidding.

Har har har...I'll have you know it's the ARMPIT of Ann Arbor. Yes, one in the same, anyway. ypsi is a great little town. Get's a bad rap though since it's not as wealthy (or concieted) as A2.

That House you used to live in is sweet. I didn't realize people lived there, though. Ypsi's got (I think) one of the largest historic districts in the nation. I love some of those big ass old houses.

Edit: nevermind -I was thinking of the Ladies Library on Huron. I know the house you mean, though...still cool.

I know, I'm just razzing ya. I went to U of M, and as cool as A2 was, some of the rich ass socialites that lived their really pissed me off. Ditto with some of the rich ass kids that went to school there too. We use to go out to Ypsi quite a bit, there's some cool bars and stuff downtown, plus before A2 built one, you guys had the only Bdubs around. Plus the 'Vu was the first strip club I ever went too, lol.

Ahhhh, the old days. I used to go to The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor but my favorite watering hole was The Fiddler's Green, which was in crawling distance of where I was living.

One of my favorite memories is hanging out on the back fire escape of the Blind Pig before a show. Just shooting the breeze with my band and the other bands playing that night, passing around some whiskey out of a flask. *sigh* those were the good ole days.

I think Ypsi also has one of the largest dildos in the nation, too. It's been a long time since I've been there, but I seem to recall a very distinctly shaped and pointedly painted silo in that town. It was kind of an unofficial tourist attraction.

Oh yeah! The big dong at the end of the street.

I drive by it damn near everyday! I've lived in Ypsi for like 5 years and I still chuckle everytime I drive by this giant phallus.

I've seen some appropriate photo-shopped pix of it.

The Yspi tower made it too, but look down at the bottom at UofM's Lurie tower. They actually added balls to this thing.

Do they still have the signs on the highway outside Ypsilanti warning motorists not to pick up hitchhikers because of the nearby correctional facility? I remember seeing the signs driving up to U of M around 1984 to attend a summer program. It was both chilling and funny--like escapes were somehow a routine event.
