Unfortunately it is not complete. Fifty minutes into the show at the tape flip (it was taped on a cassette), the deck misloaded and the tape did not pass over the heads. The rest if the show did not get recorded. Probably about 30 minutes. I had to spool the tape out and rewind with a pencil to get side 1 to play. Anyway, here is what survived. A good show that sounds good given that it is from a 16 year old cassette. This is from the master and the heads on the deck used were adjusted to match the original decks alignment as much as possible. It is definitely worth having. The missing songs included Wax Doll, Beautiful Girl (which closed the first set), and a great, long Globe of Frogs. I recognize the song RH goes into right before the tape flip, but I can't put my finger on it at the moment.

They called it the *9:30 Club*, a play on the F Street address and the nightly opening time. Small, hip and lively, the club soon became the District's "alternative" mecca -- alternative being punk, new wave, funk, reggae, roots rock, go-go and any other musical genre that more established club and concert bookers were reluctant to embrace. At a time when music lovers were reluctant to venture downtown, a lingering consequence of the 1968 riots, Mr. Bowers and his* 9:30 Club* were in the forefront as low rents and cheap real estate gradually attracted new galleries, restaurants and clubs, and people began coming back. As The Washington Post noted in 1995, "thousands of bands have passed through the 9:30's back door, many of them impressed that their equipment was loaded in from the same alley John Wilkes Booth escaped through after assassinating Abraham Lincoln at nearby Ford's Theatre." Many of the bands -- *R.E.M. and the Red Hot Chili Peppers*, for example -- went on to bigger and better venues, but the 9:30 dared to book them early. DiSanto told the City Paper in 1995 that the *9:30 Club* survived because of "the incredible benevolence of *Jon Bowers*, who financed the whole thing." "Without *Jon Bowers*, there would not have been a *9:30 Club*," said *Seth Hurwitz*, who bought the club in 1986. "He was a true patron of the arts." Mr. Bowers also wooed artists, photographers, architects and nonprofit organizations to the Atlantic Building. Tenants included Goldleaf Studios, the Blade, the D.C. Historic Preservation League and a number of photographers and artists. Another client was *District Curators*, a nonprofit arts and entertainment organization founded in 1980 to promote vanguard jazz, new music and performance art. District Curators -- with Mr. Bowers as hands-on chairman, financial benefactor and tireless fundraiser -- brought to Washington such avant-garde artists as *Philip Glass*, controversial composer of minimalist operas, film and dance scores; *Laurie Anderson,* the violin-playing performance artist; and *Sankai Juku*, the Japanese butoh group that hangs from wires and tall buildings. "I think there's a younger generation, the generation I'm a part of, that's grown up and is somewhat more open" to more experimental artists, Mr. Bowers told The Post in 1988. Jonathan Stickney Bowers was born in Harrisburg, Pa., and grew up in Birmingham, Mich. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1967 and received a law degree from George Washington University in 1971. That year, he opened a law firm with his friend Herman Bluestein before returning to Michigan in 1975 to negotiate the sale of family interests on the death of his father. When he returned to Washington the next year, he began investing in real estate in the Mount Pleasant, Shaw and Columbia Heights neighborhoods. In 1977, he and two partners founded the brokerage firm of Intown Properties; he served as president and managing partner. He continued investing in District properties over the years, including buildings along the 14th Street corridor. In 1996, he took what he called the first "safe job" of his entrepreneurial career, as principal and director of recruiting at Arthur Andersen, until that company's demise in 2002. More recently, he was director of client development at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, working in the District, Virginia and New York offices. His wife, the artist Lynn Flanagan Bowers, recalled that he traced his interest in music to his Detroit roots. "He was still listening to the newest independent music, sharing it with his children and recommending it to friends," she said. His marriage to DiSanto ended in divorce. Survivors include his wife of 20 years, of the District; two daughters from his second marriage, Margaret Bowers and Elizabeth Bowers, and a stepson, Thomas Flanagan, all of the District; and a brother and sister. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 13:03:05 -0500 (EST) From: Christopher Gross Subject: another reap "Sources" are telling CNN that Donald Rumsfeld is stepping down as Secretary of Defense.

I was kinda hoping for a more poetic ending, like the next time he gets smarmy talking down to the troops when one of them challenges him on his failure to provide for their basic needs in the field, one of them just snaps and sodomizes ol' Rummy with a bayonet while everyone else in the tent cheers him on. I guess I'm not always as nice a person as I ought to be, but fuck it. It's not like Rummy wouldn't deserve it.

The guy's no Einstein. I listened to some the Rummy Resignation press conference today while tooling around town and found myself cringing pretty much throughout the whole thing, what with the stumbling speech patterns and grammatical abuse. Grasp of his native tongue aside, he is presiding over record low unemployment, a record-setting stock market, a screaming economy, and record high tax receipts. But then those things *always* make for bad Presidents. I can't wait for that New Direction. I've had it up to *here* with having a good job with a growing company. - -f. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 12:55:16 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: another reap FSThomas wrote: > I can't wait for that New Direction.

Did anyone ever claim Bush wasn't kind to the rich? (Rhetorical points for listing unemployment first, but it doesn't really do much to polish the turd that is this presidency.) - -SER NP: Comsat Angels, "Waiting for a Miracle", which I'd never heard before, and is about as chilly-cokey-paranoid a relic of Thatcherism as I've ever encountered...
