Saturday night, I did something I never thought I'd ever do. I walked out of a venue where Peter Buck was still onstage, playing music. (Bass, anyway.) The Minus 5 played here in Denton (at a place called Rubber Gloves) on their way to SXSW (I guess). Tickets were $8. Nice thing about it was we met our friends at a local watering hole (Sweetwater) before the show and the band happened to be sitting next to us at a large circular table. It was duly noted that Mr. Buck had a soda; also, McCaughey was wearing a Rocket from the Crypt bowling shirt, and donning that was the coolest thing he did that evening. The opening acts were, respectively, Bradford Reed, one of the instrumentalists for this road incarnation of King Missle (III); then King Missle (III) itself. I'd never seen them before and John S. Hall was kind of hit-and-miss with his little monologues (he practically threw away "Detachable Penis," and a number of the better-known ones), but he was genuinely funny when he was on. As far as the Minus 5 go, I can deal with just goofing around onstage was being your act, but it's got to be worth my time; about 7 or 8 songs and we were ready to go. Highlight: after a disjointed intro by McCaughey about some girl who saw the entirety of the Scottish leg of Wings's 1973 tour, they played "Eat at Home," which was actually quite good. But then there was probably no better indication of their mood than making this homage to the king of aggressively inconsequential pop-rock. Okay, that might be an unfair characterization of Paul...well, no it's not. I'm not going to go out to a show just to experience that.

Not really. Your drawer is finite, but space is (effectively) infinite. Furthermore, a phone is easily visible with the naked eye, but the ability to detect radio waves depends in part on the quality of your equipment. With better receiving equipment and more computing capacity, searchers will be able to check more stars and detect fainter signals. - --Chris ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 13:33:46 -0500 From: Ken Weingold Subject: Re: Something important--beer On Tue, Mar 18, 2003, Gene Hopstetter, Jr. wrote: > >From: "Maximilian Lang" > > > >>Dixie Blackened Voodoo > > > >mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Blackened Voodoo. > > I was at the Dixie brewery (on Tulane Avenue in New Orleans, for > those who care) on a press pass when they debuted Blackened Voodoo. > They let us all just wander around the brewery and drink all the > Blackened Voodoo we could, out of the taps that just hung on the > walls.

One lean summer I must confess to having consumed more Pabst Dry than one truly should. Possibly for kitsch value? Who can remember? There was also a brief, alarming period during which my grandmother, for budgetary reasons, downgraded her brew of choice from Miller Lite (ack) to Milwaukee's Be(a)st.

The only place that I had ever heard the words "barley wine" was in the Kinks song Alcohol. I thought that Ray Davies had invented it to indicate that his alcoholic was so desperate he'd even drink Drano. So, is there also really a substance called pink gin? As for Natalie's comment on German beer in the States, in fact, it is true that a different beer comes over here from what is drunk in Germany. German Beck doesn't taste like American Beck (no Odilay comments here, please). There is this one Cadbury thing that you can only get from time to time here in Boston called Cadbury Flake(s). Has anyone else had that? Jesus, it's good. Whoever posted that stuff about Elizabeth Smart's Mormonism making her a perfect candidate for brainwashing just validated what my husband said two nights ago. We live in the most Mormon community in Massachusetts (Mitt Romney lives less than a mile from my house), and, by the time the girls hit high school, most of them have a Stepford Wife aura about them. The boys don't get this till later, it seems. Two of my son's closest friends are Mormons, and they are just 14-year-old slobs like everyone else. I think the religious issue gets serious when they are preparing to go on mission (after high school graduation). I'm sad about the Soft Boys news. I had really hoped that there would be a next time.

I had commented on that already in my post "Camp Matilda" of Friday, March 7, 2003, the day when the March 17 deadline had been announced. March 17 is Day 76 of the year: 76 = 4 * 19, a reminder of the 19-year Metonic cycle of the Moon. This year March 17 was a Monday, the Day of the Moon. 2 * 76 = 152 and Day 152 is June 1, the blessed birthday of Our Lady Heidi Klum. 3 * 76 = 228 and Day 228 is August 16, when Heidi unveiled her Grenada stamps in Atlantic City last Summer. 4 * 76 = 304 and Day 304 is October 31, Halloween, when Heidi holds her famous annual parties in New York. St. Patrick is the patron of Ireland, the Emerald, i.e., Green, Island. Heidi's eyes are green and her favorite color is green. She had been in Dublin recently, on the 23rd day of January, for a charity fashion show. The 23rd day of January is six months away from the 23rd day of July, the central day of the Dog Days of Summer, when the Dog Star Sirius rises with the Sun. While in Ireland, Heidi bought a claddagh ring, a ring with a lot of spiritual symbolism for the Irish. The green symbolism of Ireland is related to the "greening" of Earth in general, the process towards the establishment of the New World Order, the New Age. The God of the New Age is Horus and his characteristic number is 17, as in March 17. The Entities arranged that the "Spin City" re-runs this week be: *** "That's Entertainment", Monday, March 17. *** "Klumageddon, parts 1 and 2", Tuesday and Wednesday, March 18 and 19. All three of these episodes star Heidi and cover the days of the ultimatum and the subsequent 48 hours.

Sorry Jill, but while the brewery's name is Beck, the beer itself has been named Beck's as long as I can remember. Note that the use of the apostrophe is actually *wrong* in German, but that's the way it is and always has been. Go figure.

There's nothing to expand 'into' as such - - at least nothing covered by normal physical laws, which only deal with things inside the universe anyway. The best analogy I've seen was to view it as the surface of a balloon that's being blown up.

In the UK, they're a small independent brewer based about 10 miles down the road from me, with a lot of local pubs but few nationally. However they export a range of beers to the US which you can't get at all here. Last year I ran into an American tourist who was clearly very keen on his beers, and he was astounded to hear me refer to Sam's as a small brewery - the impression he'd got was that Smiths was one of the biggest breweries in the UK.
