I also did one from the intro to OMD's "Messages." Sadly, I can't figure out how to get it to my fucking phone at the moment, but if anyone wants me to send them to them, e-mail me off-line.

Barrett has had a checkered past, previously having been in and out of prison on various assault charges, several quite serious. In sentencing him, the Judge, Connerly O'Flarren, said "it is well past time that we put the violent Will Barrett away."

On my old Motorola, you had to text message the URL of a low-bitrate MP3. On my Blackberry, any audio you can play, you can set at the ringtone. Ooh, I just thought of using "For Reverend Green" ... poifect. Stewart ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:11:13 +0100 From: Rob Subject: New York around Labor Day - what to do? Will be visiting NY from 29th August to 4th September. Staying with my wife's cousin in Chelsea. Does anyone have any suggestions for good things to see or do around then? Was planning to see the waterfalls project (is it worth it?), but would be interested in hearing about other things going on.

But then again I grew up in Buffalo and went to Niagara Falls a lot with out of town guests. Steve used to work in Chelsea, he is now in Brooklyn working from home. There are a few Fegs still here.

Yeah, I'll second Mike's "umm...ok" for Olafur Eliasson's Waterfall project. Here's a crappy iPhone picture taken the other night from the "Pop-Up" park (the beginning of the Brooklyn Navy yard park project) here in my Dumbo neighborhood: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevetalkowski/2656713849/ Basically, you see one, you've seen 'em all. Personally, I much more enjoyed Christo's Gates in Central Park. You could always venture out to one of the major museums, or take a day trip up to Storm King or Dia Beacon - -Steve, having fun with all the new 2.0 apps on his 1.0 iPhone :) On Jul 13, 2008, at 10:11 AM, Rob wrote: > Will be visiting NY from 29th August to 4th September.
