I checked FDC out of curiousity, and as far as I know there has never been a show *anywhere* on my birthday...though the Canadian release date for Live Noise was close *g* (only a day late). The best b-day present I can think of right now is Früvous in Thunder Bay *and* the new album being released on the same day.

We were in SunCoast when "Clueless" came >out, I used to know a sort of "mom and pop record store" called In Your Ear, which was REALLY cool in my area. We got to know the owners and all of the employees really well -- they knew both my brother's and my taste in music and would recommend stuff specifically to us in an effort to expand our horizons. I have TONS of stuff that they've rec'd to me. We, consequently, grew bold and rec'd stuff to them and it became a lovely dialectic on musical groups and styles. Good fun. Anyway, their store was decorated with all the promotional stuff that PR groups send out to promo new albums. The owner, Rick, won awards for his displays (they were REALLY cool -- he did things like made those mini album-sized posters into pinwheels and slashed posters and all sorts of stuff). Buuuuuttt, they had absolutely no need for a lot of the stuff when they were done. So, if you wanted something big, you asked. If there was something no one asked for, it was laid in a box near the door and you could rifle through and pick out whatever you wanted. Gosh, I still have tons of those small poster things (Proclaimers, Tom Jones [it is absolutely hysterical], U2, Eve's Plum, Jamiroquoi, etc etc), as well as other stuff. I FINALLY removed the window sticker out of the back of my car that was a promo for the Trainspotting soundtrack (I got SO many comments off of that thing, but the orange had faded to a lymph-y yellow). The monk was just one of those cool things. His arms are extended from his body so that where they are clasped together forms a little shelf on which you displayed the CD's. A very clever promo-cut-out, really. They had one left and gave it to me (they thought I'd enjoy it). I was beyond stoked. It has stood sentinel in my room for years. >and our group of 7 people included one guy who thought Alicia >Silverstone was cute. I'm sorry. My condolences. >...we simply walked out with her. This, my friend, made me crack up. What a delinquent you are! >box of washable markers, and you can decorate their attire. "I LOVE >HEATHER" splayed across their chests. A girl can dream. *sigh* Heather Moore (as literary convention would have it, this story has an epilogue. Would you like to hear the epilogue? Corporate Bastards Future Shop and Circuit City came in nearby, and In Your Ear had to go out of business two years ago. Sad for many reasons, but especially because In Your Ear had a "listening bar" far superior to any I've ever seen. They had thousands of albums behind the counter, and you just looked through the catalogue, asked for one, sat at one of the four CD players and gave it a listen. They'd often open stuff if you requested it. VERY customer service oriented. *sigh*) ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
