Hi, I'm Scooter. Feel free to ask me some things.

There've been so many good ones over the years. One that really comes to mine is Tangerine Dream at the Howard Theatre in 2012. I've been a fan of the Dream since I was in middle school, and finally having the chance to see them in person was absolutely amazing. We had a table almost next to the stage, so you could see everything going on, and the Dream had expanded to a six-member group at that time, so there was so much. To my surprise, they also did a lot of stuff from way back in their history, like Ricochet, which had to have been around 1975 or so.
It was the next-to-last tour that Edgar Froese was on; he died in Vienna in the first days of 2015. I'm so glad I got to see them before then.
I want to say 14 inches. Checking...yeah, I'm wrong, but somewhat close. It's 18. Should have known to guess high.
I'm a bit surprised at what people aren't asking...

What's the scariest moment you've encounter in your whole life?

Do you watch The Muppets?
Whoooooo, that's a loaded question! And I'm not sure how to answer, since I'm still fairly new here and I'm not certain of the ages, or in some cases the genders, of who is here. But there are a number of very lovely folks here, and it would be wonderful to step out with any one of them for a cup of coffee sometime.
In high school, I developed a (VERY BAD) habit of running across the street between the leaving school buses, as I didn't want to wait for the whole parade to pass, as it were. At one point I did it and a car was coming from the other direction, which I couldn't see - and he couldn't see me - because of the buses. He stood on the brake, and it's a very, very good thing he did. He stopped close enough that I put my right arm down and touched the hood of his car.
That stopped that practice immediately. I was much, much luckier than I deserved.
I still think about that sometimes, whenever I need a "the Godhead has you here for a reason" moments in my life.
I watched one episode. It was okay, but it was always going to be compared in my mind to The Muppet Show during the 70s-80s, which I was a great fan of. So it would have had to have been exceptional for me to like it, and I didn't feel it rose to that. It was great seeing the characters, though.
Also, it's been such a shame since we lost Jim Henson, those many years ago. He graduated from the same university I went to. There's a statue of him and Kermit there.
Anthea Redfern, as it turns out. I'd never seen or heard of The Generation Game; it's strictly a British phenomenon. I still have a good chance of knowing about British entertainment, more than the average American I would think, but this one was a complete blank. And remains so. I'd like to visit Britain some time but I would probably just miss that show.
I'm tempted to go with Dionysius, because booze...but I'd probably rather be Hermes. I could zip around and get things done very, very fast.

I believe that would be Titan.

Flown in a hot air balloon?
Oh, yes, all the time. Not as much as I would like. In my younger days, I ran track as my sport...the reflexes and movement is all still there, but the endurance is much, much, much diminished.
It probably dates from Roman days. The vomitoria referred to the exits from the Colosseum, well-designed to evacuate the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time.
My birthday. And before I'm accused of narcissism, I don't really celebrate it in any special way. I just tend to be an even-keeled person who doesn't get too into the concept of ceremony.
Never have, but it sounds interesting. If I could get over the freaky, flying-up-in-the-air part.
