Check the LA Weekly on Thursday to see who's scheduled at Largo next week. That may give a clue. Also it may depend on how late things go at Robyn & Grant's gig. If they get out with lots of time to spare before 2AM, I imagine they'd likely head over to Largo. If not to play, then just to hang out. You can also call Largo at 323-852-1073 to find out who'll be there, though I doubt they'd have next week's schedule on the answering machine until the weekend. - - Chris ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 14:34:43 -0700 From: Julie Nelson Subject: Bay Area Robyn show I haven't been keeping up on the list, so I apologize if this is something you've already discussed.

Largo hijinks are about 95% more likely on Friday nights; on the 20th, Julia Fordham is scheduled there, and she's likely to finish around the same time Robyn & Grant do. However, a late unannounced set by someone who has nothing to do with the headliner on a weeknight is not unheard of; why, it was at just such an event that I met the nice man I've been living with since about 3 days later!

I'm 99 percent sure they are illegal here. I know they're illegal in the burbs and I've certainly never seen anyone on one. There are a lot of 10-16 year old kids in my neighborhood and environs, so if they were legal I'd have surely seen at least one whizzing by.

I know what you mean -- my apartment has a view of 280, and all the damn cars whizzing by make a real racket! Writing as a former 13 year old who never learned to ride a bike or rollerskate to any productive degree, I have mixed feelings about these vehicular issues. On the one hand, I have to say that I can't _stand_ sharing the road with cyclists of any variety. Four wheels good, two wheels bad is not quite how it is; more like birds of a feather etc. On the other hand, there are too many damned cars and while I love driving I often wish I'd bothered to learn some alternate mode of transport. I've almost never lived anywhere that said mode would actually get me somewhere useful, but in principle I'm heavily in favor of pollution-free, quiet, human-powered, space-efficient, nonlethal modes of transportation. I guess it's the latter feeling that makes me nonplussed by laws restricting the use of skateboards, rollerblades, (non-motor) scooters, and the like. I'd agree that no one really needs to ride a scooter through hallways at Apple. But I'd LOVE to do so myself. Drew ===== Andrew D.

Pretty prime example of it working really well. yeah, but this doesn't get at the point of the first comment. If the WotW broadcast was done today in the manner it was back in the (when? late 1930s?), it wouldn't fool people in the same way. People are a lot more questioning of the media now, to start with, and would be particulatrly wary (I'd hope) of news bulletins being read out by actors rather than newsreaders. It'd still fool some, sure, but I doubt it would cause the same epidemic of panic. Note that April fools gags, which are designed to fool the audience (which WotW never was) never cause as much widespread alarm as Orson Welles did - even the thoroughly believable, well worked pieces, such as the BBC's "Alternative 3"[1] from about 1978, and TVNZ's "Forgotten Silver"[2]. James (suffering the first sleet of winter) [1] investigative journalists probe the more secret side of US and Russian space projects, discover a plan to evacuate top brass to already-completed bases on the moon's far side in the event of arms race escalation. We also saw the 'real' footage from the Mars landers, showing movement in the sandy soil caused by something tunnelling. [2] while pulling down an old house, workmen discover footage of an infamous and incomplete epic movie shot in the 1920s by "Colin McKenzie", New Zealand movie pioneer, of whose work virtually nothing was known. Doco includes interviews about the importance of the discovery with the likes of Peter Jackson, Sam Neill, and even Leonard Maltin.

Sorry about that :). There's been a big flap here about those scooters so I just assumed that that was the kind you were talking about. As for these Razorscooters....I had one a bit like that as a child, but not so fancy or supercalifragilisticaerodynamic. They seem no more or less annoying than Rollerblades, just a similar fast whizzy thing to look out for on the street. As with rollerblades I don't think they belong in buildings. On the street is different because I'm looking out for them, I'm not looking for fast-moving hazards -inside-, you know? (Another thought occurred to me along the lines of "only in California would people be scootering in the office". But then I realized also maybe in Seattle, Portland, and perhaps a few places in New England such as, oh, I dunno, the corporate offices of Tom's of Maine or Ben and Jerry's. The thought of people doing it in Chicago office buildings is somehow not quite conceivable). >I've had many a relaxing Sunday afternoon ruined by the incessant buzzing >of those fuckers up and down my street. I can't resist the temptation to make a comment about how spoiled -some- people are :). My street is enough of a thoroughfare to justify having a bus route, and several trucks go by a day as well, often rattling the windows. I'd hardly notice the noise.

I've known several people with ferrets as pets and they are, in fact, rather docile when domesticated. They sleep like they're dead and they return to their cages at night if left running free. However, they're a bit smelly if not kept properly and can be a bitch to toilet train. I've known folks that kept theirs in diapers (Ferret diapers... as in, one ferret, one diaper.

There isn't a single spelling error in the entire piece - but obviously you'd expect that from Natalie.
