Maybe it's just me, but isn't that kind of redundant, saying that it's a Chinese restaurant and they do strong drinks? I don't know what it is, but those two seem to go together like egg foo and yung. I haven't been to Jade Pagoda, but there are a few places in International District that will knock your socks off, and in Portland there's always Hung Far Low, home of the best almond chicken chow mein you'll ever find at 3am.

The support. Incredibly talented. Dull. The real support was this beautiful girl with a guitar, with the most wonderful voice in the world (hey, possibly after Viv's, which is absolutely sublime) who offered her string, and her guitar, but it would have been so much better if she'd just got on stage and performed, because she was so much more interesting than Juan. She used to be Trudi's room mate? Something like that. I would have loved to talk to her some more, but it didn't happen. And Robyn was great. Absolutely fucking great. That new song? Amazing. Everything else. Brilliant. One of the best shows I've seen. Precise, strong, engaged, animated, powerful. The only way it could have been better is if we'd had more time to talk to Tom and Nick and Jay and the others. Who are lovely. And that bloke from England, he was alright, too. Missed the instore today 'cos we had to do the tourist thing. Which was fun. Looking forward to seeing Jeme (and others) tomorrow. I love this country. x Jim ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2005 23:46:59 -0800 (PST) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: RE: Do you see a sign outside of my house saying....

I think eddie may be right that unless we're meeting quite early, we should probably meet quiet near or IN the Croc. Could someone please post a time and place? Recall that there are vegans among us. Noodle Ranch at 7pm? Ben? Marc? Cynthia?!? Who all's a'comin'? We haven't had a good old fegmeet in ages. Only us two P-town fegs coming up, as far as I know.

My parents are celebrating their 40th anniversary, and that must take precedence over Robyn at the Croc. My regrets. > > I'd say 6pm as 7 may be a little late.

I'm not remotely vegetarian, but I have heard good things about the vegetarian restaurant by Seattle Center that doesn't tell you they're vegan and that the chicken you just ordered was really a meat substitute. I want to say it's Bamboo Garden, but that's a hunch more than a firm memory. Marc ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2005 13:07:28 -0800 From: "John B.
