(Like you, I'd have said hi if I'd have seen ya.. next time, know I'm coming ahead of time and stand at the freeway exit & wave ok?) We went down to Calumet photography to rent a huge camera lens for the weekend. My husband was invited to spend Saturday's L.A. Galaxy game on the field! My husband and his friend have a fan webpage that the team's front office really likes. (It is better than their official one.) Check it out at http://lagalaxy.qnet.com -- and they have a meeting Monday (tomorrow) with the Galaxy. They're not quite sure what to expect, but knowing the team likes their work is pretty cool by itself. Since Qnet is an ISP, it's not inconceivable that they'd be selected as the official web page provider/webmaster, either. However, on the way home Friday we wrecked the car. On the 5 freeway, some dude lost his luggage from the top of his vehicle, onto the roadway.. and 5 of us were involved in a minor altercation from the sudden stops. Mister luggage man and one other took off before the cops arrived. No injuries, it's just a big fat nuisance. It also made us feel bad because the baby was with us.. properly restrained in the back seat of course. But it makes you think. To add insult to injury, the Galaxy lost that Saturday game he spent on the field. *sigh* And lost this past Friday, taking themselves out of contention for the Cup, for which we have tickets next Sunday. *double sigh* But I thought you'd like to hear my little story of ironies anyway. As Crackers would say, tie your luggage securely from hell! - -- Elaine Linstruth Palmdale, CA (USA) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 20:37:01 EDT From: CJMark@aol.com Subject: Re: Alloy: Hollywood Hey Elaine.. Wow.. what a terrifying story of freeway mishap.. I'm very sorry to hear of the accident.. Hopefully all will work out with insurance for you.. and I'm glad to hear your baby was secure and safe. I drive a convertible and often keep the top down. I try to stay away from big vehicles with things tied on top.. just for the reason that caused your accident. A flying suitcase wouldn't just bounce off my roof.. it would bounce off my head.. likely taking a good portion of it along at the same time. The Galaxy stuff sounds very cool.. I enjoyed playing soccer as a kid.. then renewed my enjoyment when I lived in Italy.. as a spectator, of course. Too bad they lost! I actually just met a woman who would love to find the web site. She is a huge soccer fan.. I'll let her know about the site. Oh.. just for the sake of making this post legal.. I was in a used CD store today and found two copies of Astronauts and Heretics and two copies of Mind's Eye.. in case anyone needs.. Let me know and I can pick them up.. (I was tempted to pick them up anyhow.. just for stock) They were about $8.00 each.. I guess. I also found a copy of the 2nd Seal CD (One of the two I had stolen along with AAMB and A&H) So I am pleased to have found that to return to my collection. Seal is actually one of my other favorite artists.. and I just received some fantastic news.. he's releasing a new CD in about a month.. and will tour in '99! The only thing better would be news that TMDR had decided to provide us all with another gem.. and felt he could manage a tour.. (Could you all imagine news of a TMDR tour!!!) Hey.. I would actually prefer to hear that he was just going to get some of his musician friends together and play a club somewhere.... Okay.. okay.. I'll stop dreaming here.. So.. have a great week.. and perhaps at one point or another we can finally manage a meeting.. either here or there! I'll look forward to it! Ciao for now..
