Ok, maybe not Italy. I was there in January and had so much fun I went back this month. Good things don't last so I figured I had better use it up before it was gone. Rent a bike, but not from Bike Mac, frequent The Jolly Joker, smoke lots of hash, only eat the dried mushrooms and don't fall in a canal.

So, I don't know hat the heck happened to the Nields. Has anyone here on ecto crossed the border recently, > and can report on their own experience? When I was on tour a year ago, I was informed that my driver's license was insufficient to get me into and out of Canada (more likely that I'd be stuck at the border coming home). Since I only found this out when I was in Washington State, and didn't have a birth certificate on me, I had to cancel my Canadian dates at the last minute and go home. This was especially frustrating in that a year earlier I had wandered up to Montreal without a problem. *sigh* ------------------------------ Date: 25 Mar 2003 11:59:25 +1100 From: Andrew Fries Subject: Re: Mary Fahl playing in L.A. in April!

There are three tabs. Once you move cursor over one, it slides to the top, revealing its page. The trick is to scroll the text by hitting the scroll bar exactly, careful not to stray with your cursor into the tab area directly underneath.... that's how it looks from here, anyway. And no, I don't see any deeper pages either. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I have always tried to live in an ivory tower, but a tide of shit is beating at its walls, threatening to undermine it." -- Gustave Flaubert - -- 11:53:25 up 4 days, 18:06, 1 user, load average: 0.19, 0.11, 0.03-- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 21:47:02 -0500 From: "Suzanne DeCory" Subject: Woman of heart and mind Heads up! (Week of March 29th - April 4th) Wednesday (not sure what time) on PBS. The normally reclusive and always eclectic singer songwriter poet painter Joni Mitchell speaks to American Masters about her unconventional life and career. Finally, something worthy to tune into :) (email filtered and set to exclusive contacts) "The Ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
