I'm doing a free instore performance tonight at Borders in San Francisco. (Yeah, I also work there, which adds to the fun.) Hope I can see some of y'all there. As usual, not quite what might be considered Ecto music, but, I hope, enjoyable. (Sorry for the late word, but I just discovered that none of the mail that I had sent in the last few days got delivered. Some days I'm not all that thrilled with Linux...)

As a last resort, I'm wondering if one of the Ectophiles on that side of the pond would be willing to help relay it to me in New Jersey. It wouldn't cost you anything since the shipping charges would be billed directly to my UPS account, but it would involve you being available to have the item delivered, and then being available again to have it picked up. As thanks, I would be happy to track down and send you a couple of CDs for your help - maybe some of those hard-to-find U.S. releases on your list. :) Anyone interested please reply privately. Thanks... Dan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 14:54:28 -0800 From: Jerene Waite Subject: so-cal roll call? Hi ecto-friends, I just returned to teaching at San Diego State today (Thursday) as classes finally resumed. Air quality in the city is vastly improved. It "rained" a bit as I left campus, with some strong gusts of a cold wind. (Hey, it was enough to wet my glasses.) That translates to snow in the mountains where the fire is being fought now. The housing development across the street from us was evacuated but not burned on Sunday afternoon. We watched fires in the distance from our backyard from noon till after dark on that day. Yesterday, we visited our old house in Harbison Canyon and found it was still standing, though the 2 next to it were not. Aluminum bumpers melted and flowed down the driveway. Probably 85% of the houses in the canyon are ash. Other friends' houses were untouched despite burned fences. Another friend's house built on boulders had burned so hot that a thin outer layer of the rocks flaked off and resembled so much more rubble. Clay tile roof and brick structure didn't help that house. Some people were evacuated from one place to another to another as they moved to friends or relatives houses. Some people still don't know about their houses. Of course, the people who can afford it least are the ones who will be hurt the most. How many renters have insurance? One thing to add to your list of what to take if you must evacuate quickly is your cpu, especially if that is where you store your work. When one lives inside a city, it is not expected that wildfires can possibly go through so many blocks and get to your home. San Diego is built among canyons that are allowed to be open space and accumulate brush (aka living plants). This is part of its charm--that houses do not cover every square foot of space. This is also why fires can worm their way through the city in these natural passages. It could have been much worse...

Any good ecto >suggestions? Lots and lots of stuff by Happy qualifies! "ecto", "to be e. mortal", "beat it out" ... oh so many more choices! Kristin Hersh - "Your Ghost" Richard Shindell - "Are You Happy Now" (cliched, I know, but it fits) Kate Bush - "Strange Phenomena", "Wuthering Heights" Oingo Boingo - "Dead Man's Party" (lots of other choices there as well) Loreena McKennitt - "Samain Night" Wendy Rule - "Beltane" (because as Wendy herself said the other day, "the Earth is a sphere, so when it's Samhain it's got to be Beltane somewhere" ) I know there's lots more, but that's all my addled brain can come up with on short notice...

One of these years, I'll do this holiday right musically myself. For now: Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London [under the circumstances, it would be a crime to omit this one] Erasure - In the Hall of the Mountain King Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) [use the extended remix from the "Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man" single if at all possible, and maybe include the A-side as well] Pet Shop Boys - Vampires Ministry - Everyday is Halloween Book of Love - Witchcraft I'll see if I can dig deeper and come up with more recent/less cheezy material. Still, let's face it: we're talking about a fairly cheezy holiday here.
