Sounds like it's time for great international feg exchange.

Bragg), a bunch of us met for dinner beforehand. Some Ethiopian place across from the State of the Union if I recall. I met Bayard (who just sort of cruised through while we ate), Woj (and his sister), and Doug that night. Wouldn't be a bad idea to do that sort of thing again. It's always good to break bread (though in this case I think we merely bent it) with fellow fegs. Maybe Doug or some other more urban downtowny dweller might have a suggestion for a location.

I like Ben's Chili Bowl, but I don't know how much vegetarian-friendly food they have. (Of course I'm just assuming a lot of veggies will go; sorry for the stereotyping!) Polly's Cafe is another cool choice. I hear Feckless Beast used to hang out there, back in the day.... But I'm content to follow the herd, wherever they decide to go. Which fancy Bohemian joint are you referring to? State of the Union? > or people could meet at my house, I live 8 blocks from the 930.... Really? In which direction?

Join him or die! Can you not see that he is serious? R. Hitchcock is the Mr. Sparkle of folk-rock. His music is like that strange episode of The Simpsons wherein our beloved pal Homer discovers that he is actually the logo for a dishwashing detergent company from Hokkaido, Japan. Those lucky enough to have seen Hitchcock at the Stone in Palo Alto about the same year or so as this 1992 live show in England still remember the singer's Beatle-esque harmonies, his comic/sinister psychedelic non sequiturs, the chiming of his guitar on ought-to-have-been hits like "Globe of Frogs" and "Railway Shoes." My favorite is "The Yip! Song," a better memorial to WWII vets than Saving Private Ryan. PS: The liner notes do not reflect the order of the songs, perhaps another one of Hitchcock's little jokes.
