Joe P.On the 26 June, after reading Julie's thread about the arrival of her VCBC, I was inspired to get off my duff and check out my subscription.
I sent up a few red flares and a Mayday on this board.
Sure enough, one of the answers came back saying, "This is the S.S. California - not to worry - you're the Titanic, you are not suppose to sink." -- while you're biding your time, here's a phone number - call this guy Jeff over at VCBC, and he'll take care of everything.
Being that I had nothing else to do, and being that the ship musicians were going into their second presentation of "Nearer My God To thee," I said to myself, why not.
Being that I had plenty of ice around me, I fixed myself a drink and called Jeff.
Jeff listened to my story, and in a cool - calm - collected manner he jotted down the issues coming to me and my renewal of the VCBC subsription.
He said, "Today is Sat. the 26 June - it will go out on Mon 28 June." (He almost sounded like Clark Kent)
Today Tue. the 29th June - in a lifeboat somewhere in the North Atlantic - dressed in a beautiful evening gown loaned to me by some woman called Molly Brown. (hey, I had to get into the lifeboat.)
This Molly Brown babe is having us sing songs while we're rowing to keep our morale up.
We were into the second chorus of "Belly Up To The Bar Boys" when all of a suddan I receive this priority package. (maybe Jeff is Clark Kent?)
All kidding aside:
There are two sides to a coin.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THE HEADS, OR OBVERSE SIDE A LITTLE INK.
I talked to Jeff on Sat, and I received it on Tuesday. ..... that speaks volumes.
A vintage collector that does not receive VCBC, is almost like dealing with a continuos fake orgasm.
Thanks Jeff.
Thanks VCBC.
