Beth Sorrentino is coming out of whatever cave she's been hiding in to do a performance at The Living Room in NY this Wednesday, November 7 at 8 pm. She will also be performing live on WFMU (99.1 FM in the NY/NJ area, streaming live at wfmu.org) that afternoon, I think at 3 pm but I'm not sure. woj will have to confirm that one. I'm looking forward to seeing her again -- she last time she played was, what, two years ago?? I will try to convince her that house concerts are a very good thing, and now that I have a piano in the house she wouldn't even have to lug anything with her. :) Speaking of house concerts, off to clean so Wendy Rule and her audience don't die of dust poisoning when they get here ... Susan Werner concert report (Somerville Theatre, last night) to come later. ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" -- mahatma gandhi ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2001 05:29:49 From: "Lyle Howard" Subject: Public Nuisances Bon Soir, Happys whimsical musings on the new rules for our society (found in the current Different Worlds at Auntiesocialmusic) failed to mention outlawing all burping in public places. Over the last five years or so I have noticed an increase in loud and unabashed burping in fast food restaurants. (Warning: sensitive northerners should stop reading here.) In Texas if some unpleasant trend rages through the old Republic, we blame the Yankees. Why is rush hour traffic filled with rude and unfriendly driving? Must be them Yankees that come down here in the great gold rush of the 80s and 90s. How come education is going to hell in a handbasket? Must be them Yankees. I dont think the public burping can be blamed on Yankees this time. I distinctly remember listening to a southern-accented burp in a Grandys one Saturday evening. Judging from the overalls and the gimme cap, the man had to be a Texan. Furthermore, my ex (from New Hampshire) never slouched back in the booth, arched her neck, and let fly with a bubble of gastric gas. And when New Hampshirites are polite enough to not burp in public, then you know the rest of New England must be even more refined. So, that sort of rules out the Yankee theory. I wish I had a good stare so I could shoot daggers at burpers, but Im more likely to duck my head and pretend it didnt happen. Perhaps public burpers should be sentenced to two weeks of Wendys chili morning, night, and noon, complete with glassed-in burping booths.

A bientot, and bon appetit, Lyle ww: The MST3K version of _The Brain That Wouldn't Die_, which asks the musical question: "Can your horror match mine?" I remember kids at school circa 1961 or 62 breathlessly describing the mutant in the closet after seeing this movie. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V7 #317 **************************
