get higher quality. [or DVD!]

dress up as Adam.
Before going to

movie on starring Cynthia Geary, John
Corbett, or Janine Turner.

way to see concerts by such musical acts as Bela Fleck, Lionel Hampton, and
The Coasters, hoping to hear one of the tunes that was played on NX.

glimpse of Maggie in her pilot's get-up.
You send more email

and find that NX is still on the air and Joel is still
in Cicely and all is well.

search to find a bar as cool as The Brick.

find a half-decent bar, you request that they put antlers on the walls and serve
mooseburgers.
You were devastated
when Morty passed on.

the population of CicelyÑkeeps you awake at night.
You annoy your friends
and family by constantly playing your homemade NX music tapes in your car.

that mentions NX.

Seeing what good
it did for Chris, you think a little time behind bars might do you some good.
You don't think
it's extreme to empty your bank account, quit your job, and travel half-way
across the county to something called a Moosefest;
in fact, it seems perfectly reasonable.

at Ruth-Anne's store, even if it meant taking a
huge pay cut.

of Cicely are perfectly normal; it's everyone else who's eccentric.
