I called Haverhill High yesterday to inquire about the possibility of purchasing some sort of marker of our fearless co-leader’s tenure there. The conversation went as follows.

Lady on the phone (who sounded a little like Marcia and was almost as sweet): Haverhill High, how can I help you?

Me (in my Louisiana drawl- clearly not from Haverhill): Hi, I’m not sure to how ask about this, so um, so you know how some schools have like little plaques or bricks in a walkway with peoples’ names on them or something like that like to honor them? Like that you can buy? Do y’all have anything like that? Because, I’m a fan of this internet podcast show, like an internet radio show thing that one of your alumna, I mean alumni, no, I mean alums does. Sethro Matelli? Have you heard of him? Anyway, his fans were thinking about doing something to honor him at his high school, so I thought I’d call and see if y’all had anything like that? (I am mortified at this point, so stumbling and awkward am I sounding.)

Not Marcia, totally befuddled: Oh, no, no, I don’t think we have anything like that. No, but it does sound like a great idea for a fund-raiser in the future, though. Why, did this fellow pass away?

Me, horrified: Oh, no! No, he’s fine. He’s great. We just really, um, like him, so we wanted to maybe do something for him as an honor or something. Like a plaque or something.

Not Marcia: Oooh, well, no.

Me: Ok, well I just thought I’d call and check if you had anything like that, um, you know. Ok, so thanks anyway! Have a nice day! (Click.)

So, that was a great plan. Next time on “I shouldn’t be allowed to have a phone,” I’ll call Jah’s school and try to secure a plaque for him in the teepee where the sacred weed once resided. Stay tuned…

hahaha…so great. We should all call Haverhill High and demand this. It would be great if there was just one brick on the walkway into the school that had seths name on it and all the rest were blank.

The Seth Romatelli dedicated auditorium that could be named such at a live event in said High School auditorium.

i literally live like 30 minutes away from haverhill.

if we can’t get him an engraved brick, i will just have to make my own brick and put it there in the walkway myself.

ch’na, you need help? i’m in medfaad. totally up for paying a visit to seth-land. the kids need to know who their mentor and godfather is. he will remind them not to flash their va j j’s and tell the boys to stop beating up their pussies (listening to ep80). he’s such a wonderful role model

Just spraypaint, in huge letters, ROMA! across the entire front of the school, and pay students to carve it into desks…

Please Post the High School’s number so we can all rally behind this great American…

You got the gatekeeper on the phone, she’s supposed to turn you away. I’m guessing the local school board or an upper level admin would at least listen to our pitch as long as it involved the school getting money.  Once they heard the show they might not want an uhh yeah dude reference that would introduce their crotch fruit to such a crass show, but those kids will Google the name if can just get it up somehow. I applaud your effort Sethro!

It’s a start

I added him to their Wiki
