Also of possible interest to the Bay Area contingent: there's going to be a Throwing Muses gut pageant here in May, according to the morning paper. "Hersh/Muses fans can pay $60...which includes a ticket to the Throwing Muses show (May 26 at Slim's), a ticket to one Hersh show (she's playing Noe Valley Ministry on May 25, 26, and 27), meet 'n greet, sound-check, food, etc." Not sure where or when tickets will go on sale.

We work on the 18th floor of a 19 floor building, and at first it just started rumbling and bumping in an up-and-down manner, and then it started swaying and undulating. I didn't do anything, I just sat here typing to another mailing list I'm on "We're having an earthquake! This is scary!". I didn't know what you're supposed to do, since by the time you try to do anything, it's all over. I learned afterward that you're supposed to get under a table, which I don't think would've helped if my building collapsed. But when you looked out the window, all the other buildings were swaying. We're about 5 blocks north of the area of town where there was the most damage. In that place, the two problems were that it's built on fill and the buildings are older and they're brick (three! three main reasons: surprise, fear, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope... ) Anyway, a few things fell over, a ceiling tile here and there. We all decided to go home and check on our own places, and no one at work had any major home damage either. I had things fall over at home, my cats were _wild_, cabinet doors were open, and the most interesting thing was that the sliding glass door had come open about a foot. It's usually hard enough for me to slide it manually. Things are pretty much back to normal. We were really really lucky that damage was so little. I'm definitely concerned about when the "real" earthquake along the Seattle fault is going to happen. Or one of the volcanos. - -K, paging through my email to get to the EctoFestWest info and get tickets already! - ------------- Yesterday at dawn, my friend said, How long will this unconsciousness go on?

Attention San Francisco area folk: Wendy Rule, the very cool Australian songstress who is putting together her very first U.S. tour, needs a place to play. She'll be in the area in early May. If you have a connection to a venue, or (better yet) are willing and able to host a house concert, please e-mail her: wendy@wendyrule.com. (For those of you in the CT/NYC area, I'm happy to note that we will be hosting her here at the House O'Muzak on Sunday, May 20...) ======================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ======================================= http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2001 21:47:32 -0500 From: meredith Subject: Re: to the northwestern US ectophiles...

I bought a Tivo in September for the sole purpose of easily recording the wide screen B5s and copying them to tape commercial-less, because there was no west coast feed of Sci-Fi and it was on at 4pm. TiVo is wonderful. I'm actually holding off and going to tape Objects In Motion / Objects At Rest / Sleeping In Light in one marathon session, get all my crying taken care of all at once. ;) > > Sci-Fi is starting the series run over from the beginning again on Monday. > Maybe we'll actually get our act together and tape it this time -- it's not > like we're going to watch our fullscreen first-run tapes anyway. JMS says that The Gathering and In the Beginning should be out on DVD around July. If they put the series out on DVD, I will be out a _lot_ of money... Have you heard the cast members' album? > > Glad you and yours made it through the quake ok, too... > Thanks!

Michelle Shocked is someone who has brought up those distinctions a lot. That was one of the final battles she was fighting with her record company. She specifically wanted to make a "black" album, one that worked with styles that were different from her folk roots and more tied in with gospel and New Orleans brass bands. The record company adamantly refused. She has done stuff of that nature, but I don't think it's her strongest work. Her last self-released album was full of music along those lines. She made this case in concert after concert, where she decried the segregation of radio and the recording industry, and wished for a way to reach across racial boundaries in presenting music. Of course, as she pointed out, she invariably was making this case to a 99% white audience. neal np: The Blah Blah Woof Woof Sampler ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V7 #70 *************************
