Darren Ploppleton Appearances?

[Mr. Spacely]

Hey, all.

I got into TBS a year ago and fell in love with all the S&W bits.  I'm especially fond of the "Darren Ploppleton" character.

I bought "Hippie Justice," which I assume is the first Darren appearance, and I've downloaded all the Darren appearances that show up on the Best Show Archives.

My question is whether there is a Darren appearance that takes place *after* the Hippie Justice call, circa Fall 2005 (Darren threatens to seal Tom up in a bronzed box), and *before* the May 23 2006 call "Darren and the Corporate Battle of the Bands"?

Hey, thanks for the reply!  Yeah, I checked out the excellent Newbridctionary, but alas, he seems to have only access to what WFMU puts up in the archives, and I've noticed that not all shows are archived, or even summarized.

There were no Ploppleton calls in this time period.  5/23/06 is the first post-Hippy Justice appearance.

Trust the birthday boy, Space.

Thank you for the info, Omar.  Now I can rest easy knowing that my Ploppleton Collection is complete.

Though I must say, I kinda wish there really was an extra call in there, if only to explain how Tom and "Darren" patched things up and ended up playing in a band together.  I'm just a sucker for that Newbridge continuity

I will fill in this portion of the narrative in my forthcoming Newbridge book.

As Muddy Walters used to say:  "Oh, yeah."

The Darren call after the Allen Toussaint show is easily one of my favorite calls.

Thanks, dear boy.  That is actually one of the recaps that was mostly eaten by the blogging software interface a couple months after initial publication. I had to piece it back together using archive.org, incomplete scraps from a Word file (I didn't save a backup due to munchiness), and melted Toblerone bars, which served ably as a makeshift adhesive.
