Jordan" Date: Wed, 14 Aug 1996 14:26:06 -0400 Subject: Alloy: TMDR/Conference in DC I just checked out the Wall Street Journal web site, to get more information about the "Business and Technology in the Next Millennium" conference in which TMDR will be participating next month in DC. (Thanks to whomever offered up that tidbit - - much appreciated by us denizens of the DC area.) There's quite an array of brilliant minds who will be speaking at the various sessions - most impressive. You can check it out at: http://www.wsj.com I would love to be able to sit in on this one, but the registration fee is $1,500. (AAAAAIIIIIEEEEE!) Out of this not-for-profit peon's reach, sadly. But, if TMDR is in search of the best cup o'joe in Our Nation's Capital (or the most colorful nighttime tour of DC available), my friend James (hullo, James!) and I are ready to spring for it.

Just correcting myself - went to check the conference site I just wrote about, and I found a much easier access point: http://info.wsj.com/techconf/ This will save you much frustration and time.

Take the Central Line ( the red one ), or the District/ Circle line ( Yellow/ Green on the maps ) to Notting Hill Gate tube station. When you get to the exit turn right, you'll see some steps at the end of the tunnel, take the ones to the left, and walk about a hundred yards through the serious crowd. There are a bunch of different shops on that strip that are connected to the R+T Exchange. They sell everything used - cameras, congas, computers etc. The music one has loads of CD's and vinyl from the 80's. Notting Hill is also close to Ladbroke Grove, an old stomping ground of mine. There's a street market there on Fridays and Saturdays, called Portobello Road Market, that has a lot of old stuff, including some excellent record stalls. It's *way* crowded on Saturday, so a lady of leisure like yourself should probably try to go Friday ( though it's a little smaller that day ). You can walk there from Notting Hill Gate, or take the Metropolitan Line ( kinda maroon, as I recall ) to Ladbroke Grove, and follow the crowd of weirdo's to the market. It's a very cool area, a little intimidating at first, but sweet once you settle in. If you're there in August, you should also try to go to the Carnival they have there on the last weekend. If it doesn't rain, it's a blast. There's a big Trinidadian and Jamaican population there, and they shut down the streets, set up the sound systems and PARTY! Give it a go, but try to get a local ( or a Londoner, at least ) to show you 'round, 'cos it's a jungle sometimes ; ). Doblyphile note - the area is also home to Sarm West, the studio where we mixed The Flat Earth. There are also many second-hand record shops in Soho, particularly around Berwick Street Market. I'm sure you know where Soho is, so just check in a yellow pages for the store addresses. They're all pretty good, though many of them specialise in contemporary ( and in England that means FUNKY ) music, so you might want to call and make sure they have the old-fashioned stuff in stock. Have a fabulous time. Travel well. sister . . .
