With the influx of new members here lately, I thought it might be fun to inquire of them, as well as those of us who have been here a while, where you first heard about Monkeeland from. I'm just kind of curious. As for myself, I used to hang around quite a bit in the late 90's and early 00's at the alt.music.monkees Usenet newsgroup, and I knew Cin and Lucy a little bit, as well as the beginnings of ML, from there. I didn't actually come on board here until much later, though. In fact, I didn't really actually make an attempt to post until Micky, David and Peter had their Waterfest concerts scheduled here for Oshkosh in the summer of '04, and wanted to start spreading the news. From there, the rest as Micky would say is a hysterectomy. The rest Micky would say is a 'hysterectomy?' LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Oh dear now I need the ladies room again from laughing so hard! Well I first learned of Monkeeland from my friend Lisa from Yahoo Dreamworld. I was browsing her private fanfiction sites and just loved her stories. When I wrote to her about them, she told me about Dreamworld and about the Monkeeland site. Thank you my friend Lisa for inviting me to such a beautiful website. to you. to everyone here as well. Love always, Cheri

All good of course! The more the merrier. I'd say that since I came on there have been over a hundred more joining the board! I think I was #595 or something like that. It was in June-July of '06 when I heard about it. There was a radio station on the web that was a Monkee marathon of their music in that 40th year - I think it was broadcast June 6th? One thing leads to another, and I found Monkeeland and thought, Ah-hah, THERE they all are, the fans. Of course then I signed up. This has been the most up to date place one can go imho for just about anything that has to do with the guys. I like this board because it is quite truthful and quite accurate. And of course I have also had the good luck to have met several of you at concerts they've been in, and can't forget about the "Hershey Kisses"! I'll probably be a poster/lurker for a long time.

That was so much fun. I hope they do that again sometime. By the way, this is the list of the marathons they're doing this spring/summer. There are some interesting choices there. The Traffic show sounds cool. Hopefully I'll remember to catch some of that one. Shane The lost album. In stores June 17th. Last Edited By: 25or6to4 05/05/08 9:26 PM. Edited 1 times.

And does this station do like 24-hr marathons on all these people? Rachael

Not only was there the WBWC Monkeethon in June of '06, but XM did their own 15 hour Monkees special later that same summer, as well. We should maybe pull out some of LMBt's transcripts from the WBWC show just for fun, and I know I've got the XM playlist archived here too, somewhere. There haven't been any big retrospectives that I've heard of since then. Tis a shame, with the Rhino 2 disc editions of the first four albums out, there's some cool mixes and stuff that would be neat to hear on the radio. Shane The lost album. In stores June 17th.

That just conjures up images that I really didn't want of the Monkees. I heard of Monkee-Boots,Monkee-Shirts and now....."Monkeethong"!!
