When do you want to complete Flea? NSR 77 T C  20:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking a lot about the granddaddy article: Red Hot Chili Peppers. I know, I know, I'm extremely skeptical too, but we also felt this way about Flea. In the beginning I didn't think the article would ever reach the state of quality it's in now. I know 10 times more work would be involved but I'm game if you are. Once we're completely done with Flea (which won't be a walk in the park, either) we can take a break and hopefully attempt the RHCP page. What do you think? NSR 77  T C  20:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, not yet. I've been really busy lately doing important things (partying). Haha, but yeah I'd love to work on Red Hot Chili Peppers considering it would say a lot about the RHCP WikiProject. Also, since you live in SLC (punk), have you seen the movie SLC Punk? NSR 77  T C  00:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That's pretty ironic. The movie used to be on my large list of favorites but was removed not long after, when I stopped listening to punk. My favorite movie of all time has always been Dazed and Confused; fuckin love it. Yeah, I realize the Chili Peppers article is in better shape than Flea's was, but a lot of the information is convoluted and overall it is not very long (especially considering the ridiculously plot-twisting history the band has behind them). The Apter book is like one long Chili Peppers Wikipedia article so it'll be extremely helpful. It has quotes from all over the place, reviews from North Pole to South Pole and even continues after the making of BTW. Of course, Scar Tissue will need a consulting as well as the extensive array of magazine articles and publications that pertain to the relative eras. Fuck, I'm getting overwhelmed just thinking about it. The good news, though, is that after Flea is finished up we can use bits and pieces from both his and Frusciante's Music Style section for inclusion into the Chili Peppers' overall music style (which should be massive). I'm relatively free most of this weekend, especially Saturday, so we can get to work then, if you're free. Did you want to jump right into RHCP after Flea or do something in between/chill for a bit? NSR 77  T C  01:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hurry! Sign the comment before the ominous sign-bot beats you to it! That's got to be my favorite line in the movie. There's this one Family Guy episode (too many to know which one) where Brian does the same thing, except a lot more child-molester-esque. I'm not saying Matthew McConaughey isn't really ridiculously "old-guy-trying-to-get-high-school-girls", but...yeah. Linklater's probably my favorite director; I've seen all his stuff. I really want to put Niandra up, too, so I'll scour Apter tomorrow. Can you imagine how many people are fuckin' out there right now?!!!? NSR 77  TC  01:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

It was a great movie, but Dazed and Confused will always be my top. I'm going to add some Niandra stuff now. When are you free this weekend? NSR 77 T C  00:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Moving out of town? NSR 77  T C  17:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I hate moving more than rap. And that's an enormous amount. I'll try to finish up Niandra Lades tonight but I feel really lazy. Good luck with the move. NSR 77  T C  23:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I hate what it has become. What it is today gives it all a bad rep. Some old school is okay. Rap in general just doesn't interest me much. Electronica, on the other hand, does. NSR 77  T C  06:50, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No! Don't jinx it! I love my electronica. John makes some quality shit, as well. He's such a multifaceted man. What would the world be without him? I'm so lazy today. I've had several opportunities to get my ass up and find the page in Fornication but I'm a lazy bastard. How's the moving process going? Treating you well? NSR 77  T C  07:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately. I miss school (as crazy as it sounds). I've been so happy ever since I transferred to UCLA, which is the city where I belong. Plus the pot in Connecticut was never very good. I actually live the 'burbs of NY, but its so much easier to just say NY because most people don't know CT is even that close to NYC and then I have to explain. I'm here until mid January. The other night I went to an electronica show in the city and at the after party Daft Punk made a special appearance. I was happy as a clam. :) NSR 77 T C  08:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think I'm pothead. God I hope not. I enjoy it on occasion, but always in moderation. I've done a fair share of things in my life but refuse to ever put a needle into myself and hardcore drugs I just find horrible and won't ever try them. Give you mad props for being that way, man. I'll only do natural things, like pot or mushrooms. I've slowed down a ton since going to College. My life is pretty boring compared to most of my friends, haha. Dazed and Confused just seemed to strike a chord with me for some reason. That and Trainspotting are probably my all time favorites. Reservoir Dogs is also up there. I really should change the movie section on my user page to reflect my actual favorites and not just what I happened to like that day. NSR 77  T C  08:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah. Pulp Fiction. Badass to the bone. NSR 77  T C  10:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, sorry man. Been super busy lately. We have to get to work on Flea! NSR 77  T C  20:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Finished. You may want to read it, because the stuff I added is really interesting. Thankfully Apter found it. NSR 77  T C  21:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll put it up for FAC in a moment. Think it is ready? NSR 77 T C  23:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll do that now; he states this is the wonderful Mojo article. As for Niandra Lades, I think its in the best shape we can get it in. And on the note of Flea: I've been toying with the idea of simply adding an entirely new section titled "TV and Movie appearances" which could also include various RHCP appearances. What do you think? NSR 77  T C  23:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Where've you been? And why haven't you answered my question? NSR 77  T C  19:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not that self concious. :) Bummer that you don't have access at home yet. I'll try and add what I can today but it is rather difficult knowing you aren't around. I can only imagine how you wrote as much as you did with Frusciante before I stepped in. NSR 77  T C  20:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I finished adding a shit-load of information. I'm sure you'll still want to weed through the internet (when you can) and find some obscure sources to help add even more and, not to mention, copyedit everything because I'm not writing very well this month. Hopefully things are relatively complete. I'm going to search for some additional photographs to be included in the article and write the Television and move appearances section sometime tomorrow; it'll be relatively brief. FAC isn't more than a few weeks away! NSR 77  T C  01:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I know you don't have access to a computer at the moment but a copyedit of both Flea and Niandra Lades would be awesome. When you get the chance. Hope to see you back soon! NSR 77 T C  18:48, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to see you (somewhat) back. I put up Niandra Lades, as you saw, because it was just sitting like a lame-duck. It seems that right when you come back from Hawaii I'm going on vacation to Paris. I'll bring my laptop of course and edit at my hotel but not frequently. With Niandra Lades taking about a week or so, that should be perfect timing to put up Flea; everything works out great. NSR 77  T C  21:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Haha. Sorry, it's just become almost compulsory to wikilink things. Sometimes I'll find myself adding four tildes after a message when talking to someone online. Hawaii has always sounded rad. I've been to Paris a couple times and love it; mainly because I can speak French, so people don't look at me like I'm a stupid American. Also, I think the ghost info you reverted should be mentioned to some extent; Frusciante was adamant about their existence. NSR 77  T C  22:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The only reason I added it was because Frusciante, at the time, went on and on about how on every track he heard ghosts. He's a major oddball no doubt about it (and only toned down a tiny bit now), but its still significant to note his urgency. Where the fuck do you work? I would've fired you by now, slacker. NSR 77  T C  22:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Real or fake? NSR 77  T C  00:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Flea can marinate for a few days after the Niandra Lades FAC. I've asked both Wesley and CloudNine to take a look at it and they're (hopefully) in the process of doing that. If you really want to do a copyedit and find the time or location, such as the library I guess, go for it. It's waiting for ya. NSR 77 T C  22:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I like it the way it is, personally. I think it's fine with Flea throughout. I too was pretty surprised by the Niandra Lades FAC, but overjoyed at the same time. The Funky Monks photograph is there for no good reason, really. I tried to find a screenshot today but couldn't locate a good one for the life of me. They're all dark, blurry and small. Something will turn up eventually, though. How have you been lately? NSR 77  T C  02:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, whenever you can get to a computer and copyedit Flea that'd be awesome. It's just sitting, waiting for you. :) NSR 77  T C  20:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Great! :D NSR 77  T C  20:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, man, I just got back Sunday. It was rad. Saying "I miss you" might be either really gay or creepy since we only talk through the internet and don't actually know each other (or a combination of both), so a "come back soon!" should suffice. Haha. NSR 77 T C  21:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Flea (musician). NSR 77  T C  02:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Dude, where've you been? Respond when you can, peace. NSR 77  T C  00:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey man, what have you been up to lately? NSR 77  T C  00:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I wish you the best of luck, then. NSR 77 T C  16:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, man. I was really ticked off when the picture was deleted. It was fantastic, actually. It turns out I had that issue of Guitarist in my John-pile but I forgot all about it. I was flipping through it yesterday and thought the article could really use the final addition, especially since the Martin and Jag weren't even mentioned. So how have you been doing, otherwise? The band doing well? NSR 77  T C  02:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fuck, dude! I missed your comment for a month! I thought you had completely left; made me sad. Haha. I'm doing really good, though. Back in New York for a month until the end of June; seeing The Cure two days in a row in NYC on the 20th and 21st. Excited like you wouldn't believe. You need to come back! I can't work on RHCP without you! NSR 77  T C  02:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Nah, I'm not pissed you didn't see them. They're definitely not a band that appeals to many people our age, anymore. I'm seeing My Bloody Valentine, though, in Santa Monica sometime in the next four months (I honestly forgot when). Really psyched for that, and Stereolab and Echo and the Bunnymen. I've not been to SLC in many, many years--going back would be really rad. My schedule is really full these days, though. I'm in NY until late June, then back home for two weeks, then off to Miami for a week, then home for four days, then London for two weeks (I think), and then Cannes for five days and back home for another week before going to Seattle for two days and home again for the rest of the summer. BUT, in news: John's new album is supposedly in the mastering stages! Makes me live a few more days carefree. NSR 77 T C  01:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
