Re: Newbridge map.

Truth be told, I have been preparing to make a map of Newbridge for quite some time. (I originally went to Rutgers for a cartography certificate.) The hard part is not putting the map on paper, but compiling all the buildings, buisnesses, household, schools, roads, and seedy areas mentioned by S&W over five years. Yet, it has been fun listening to all the comedic genius. Here is what I have so far (archives through 2002):

Newbridge in Newbridge County New Jersey
direction in relation to real towns: South of East Brunswick, South of Woodbridge
local media: Newbridge Gazette

towns: East Aukensville (near Trenton)(contains: a band shell), Tribridge, Blackeddy, Upper Blackeddy

Citizens of Newbridge: Officer Harrups(medium), Brad Somerstant (poor, ran for county water commissioner), Water Commissioner Delp (rich), Rodney (medium, works at Book Barn), Darrel (medium, manager at Book Barn), Danny (medium,sick citizen), Troy Dershman ('85 grad, no grad Penn st., low, grown high school jock, Newbrige Vikings star player, xfl player, divorced, lives in a tree fort), Augie Richards (manager of Ye Olde Burger Barn), Danny Phipps (Billy Joel tribute band, Glass Houses, leader), Kevin Percy (not anymore Close to Tom's brother, Dan Scharpling, Kathy Shoemaker, madeup wife), Bruce Willis (unhinged man)

buildings/buisinesses: Multiplex (in newbridge commons), Book Barn (sells books and records mall not mentioned), Alltel Communications Tender Vittels Ampitheater, Ye Olde Burger Barn (on Route 4 in Newbridge) (located outskirts of town beyond newbridge commons, before muffler row), Muffler Row near route 38 industrial area being rebuilt (shady area), Batter Mobile (Dodge Caravan gutted), Newbridge High School, Newbridge Acres (senior rest home), Coach Jackson (Troy's coach/landlord/boss), NCC (Newbridge Community College, Newbridge Horses (mascot), Norton Hall, WNCC radio station without antenna community station home to the Patriot Zone), Sporting Goods? (owner Roy Gatti),  RadioHut (Newbridge Commons)

Roads: Route 38 (major highway), Route 4 (highway with stores), Main Street, Valley Brook Drive (Tom's old home)

I should be done by the end of this year.

Pantyboy's or Pantyboys (?) is on Old Muffler Row - the streetlights don't work there anymore.

The newspaper is also referred to as the Newbridge Herald Gazette Times Herald or something similar.

This is a gargantuan task but one well worth doing - congrats on your initiative, sir!

I plan to make a spreadsheet detailing all of the places/people/major events for everything that's gone down in Newbridge since I started doing the recaps (11/29/05 -- present).

Speaking of Old Muffler Row, I was just over at the FOTpedia (www.friendsoftom.com/fotpedia).. What happened? It's looking a bit abandoned at the moment. We need to resurrect it!

[John Junk]

It's got technical problems.

I'll post something boring to get this thread back on the rails.

I got my AotS today!  It is awesome! I am thrilled!
Thanks, fellas.

[kenkwan]

That's not boring! At least not for those still waiting for their copies, with bateman breath.

[Dorvid Barnas]

You know what's not boring?  THIS ALBUM!!!

Holy crap it's funny.  The Mother 13 Everest epic is easily the funniest Best Show bit I've heard.

It really is. I've been listening to Disc 3 almost everyday since I got it.
