Thai and Indian places all the time, and of course Japanese places, but for some reason Chinese cuisine has never bespoken the need for an accompanying cocktail for me. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 09:00:55 -0800 From: Rex Broome Subject: Re: turbogeek: recording division > I think such notations should also include a list of all drinks > consumed, as well as a list of sexual partners actual and potential > contemplated or engaged from the beginning of the recording process to > the end. To that end, I think I'll do the musician credit on the first Skates & Rays LP this way: Rex Broome: Sierra Nevada, Sierra Nevada Stout, 12-string Sierra Nevada, vocals Nigel C.: digital and analog martinis, vocals Derek H.: Anchor steam, cough medicine Cliff U.: pistachios (doesn't drink) BTW, those are the actual names of the band member.

If you're planning to see Robyn at the Largo this week and don't have a table, contact me (before 3/8 at noon, if possible). All seating is booked, so at this point it is stand-by only for a chance to stand at the bar. Have your (St. Petersburg) requests ready to hand in (St. Petersburg), Marc I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed psychiatrist is our "friend."
