(was Re: Sarah in Cambridge, MA) :) Well I don't think I count as a local, but.. Yes, it's the Kendall/MIT stop - that's the only one that's even remotely near MIT campus. It won't let you out right at the student center though (I'm assuming that's where this thing is held)... the student center is across Mass. Ave, the funky concrete building (oh-so-seventies). But campus has maps and stuff if you get lost. :) Just walk... uh.. well if you're good at directions, walk parallel the river, til you hit Mass Ave, (which you can only hit if you go through the Big Building (the one with the dome on top) (hehe - I'm not a student, but I know someone who is ;-)... wow those are bad, and confusing directions. thank god I have one thing right: it's Kendall/MIT on the redline, folks. :) See you there!!! megan, who used to be blonde >From: Jennifer.M.Pease@Dartmouth.EDU (Jennifer M.

(was Re: Sarah in Cambridge, MA) Hi folks, I'm not really a "local" to the MIT area, but I've been out that way a few times before for some seminars, etc etc. If you take a look at the map on their web page, and look up "Stratton Student Center", it looks reasonably accurate, and I would assume that the folks from MIT would check to ensure that their maps are _reasonably_ accurate, as well. :) Go here: http://whereis.mit.edu/bin/map?locate=student_ctr This should give you a rough idea of where to go. And for my money, yes, the Kendall Red Line stop is the easiest way to get there... Maybe see some of you there.

Scott Ananian" Subject: directions to the coffeehouse. Looking at whereis.mit.edu is definitely the way to go; unfortunately that map doesn't seem to have the Kendall T stop on it. MIT folk will cut across campus to get from the T to the student center, but I'll try to give some slightly longer but hopefully clearer walking directions for those of you who don't feel comfortable dead-reckoning through MIT halls... The Kendall T stop (on the red line) is on main street. There's a 'Legal Seafood' restaurant and the MIT/Harvard Co-op (a bookstore) on one side of you when you get out of the T. Walk up main street that way. You'll pass an alley, then Ames street, then reach Vassar Street. Turn left onto Vassar Street. Walk down Vassar street to the next intersection, which is Massachusetts ave. Turn left again. You'll get to a crosswalk right next to the main columned entrance to MIT (which is marked as 'building 7' if you're following along on whereis.mit.edu). Turn right and walk away from the columns; the big boxy concrete building is the MIT student center (building W20 on the map). Go inside. Go up to the third floor. You can't miss the coffeehouse. It's not a large space; feel free to come early and hang out if you like. The coffeehouse is open 24 hours a day; Dan Katz will probably be hanging out before-hand. He's the guy who made this happen, and most of the regulars will know him enough to smile and nod when you mention him in casual conversation. =) --s Bejing Peking Suharto IDEA Dictionary Rule Psix Noriega SSBN 743 Kojarena struggle justice chemical agent terrorist Moscow Ortega arrangements ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 18:03:54 -0500 From: what@ican.net (What?

Hi there Navy Soupers - Unfortunately due to drive times and routing we weren't able to work out a house concert for this swing into the U.S., but sincere thanks to all of you who (bravely) offered your living rooms! I'm sure we'll put the call out again on the next American swing and hopefully we'll be able to pull something together...

Toronto Fumblers - http://www.aquezada.com/~rannie/fumblers Whew! Alliteration! Here's a little write-up of the wonderful concert I saw at the Black Sheep Inn on Sunday with Tory Cassis and the Sleanster: My friend Lesley picked me up from work at 3 and we drove to Wakefield in the snow. There were absolutely no problems with me getting in. We thought it would be full when we got there but there were only a couple of people there! So Lesley got us a table and I went to pee. And who should I meet in the tiny little bathroom? Sarah Slean!!! I told her I was so happy she came back to play Wakefield. Sarah was sharing the stage with Tory Cassis (of opening for Moxy at Zaphods fame). Turns out he kicks ass! Not to mention is extremely good looking and has a sexy voice (Sarah Slean even said so!) And he plays the trumpet too! Tory's set was so good that I bought his CD and he signed it "Thanks for making the trek!" He was a very cool guy and very down to earth. Then sweet sweet Sarah Slean...I was gonna request John the 23rd but she ended up playing it first! She is absolutely hilarious and very cultured. She was talking about J.D. Salinger and when I cheered (cuz I really like the song she was about to play) she said "Woohoo? Does he have family in the audience?" :D She said she's no longer obsessed with cellos and then sang a song about being obsessed with some foreign cellist guy at U of Toronto. Hehe...then she introduced weight by saying "You know when you're going out with someone and you're all like 'Wicked! Cool!' and you really like this person and then suddenly it's like 'The way you eat your food really *pisses* me off' and 'That shirt you're wearing is really ugly!' and you start wondering what attracted you to them in the first place? yeah, that's what this song is about." Ha...and she talked about A 440 and some other weird musical stuff. For her encore she did a duet "for all the cheesy people out there" with Tory. They did Irving Berlin's "Always" and it was soooo funny! I was really impressed with Tory's voice though. The band! She had some bald guy on drums (instead of her hot drummer from last time), some darlin' little bass player guy and the ever-amazing, CRAZY, INSANE, but phenomonally *brilliant* Kurt Swinghammer on guitar. No backup singer this time. Tory played horn on some of Sarah's tunes and Sarah played keys on some of Tory's. It was so cool cuz the band was playing, and Sarah was singing like the wonder she is, and Kurt's there off to the side "abusing some guitars for their benefit" and all this snow is swirling everywhere outside the window. It was so cool. The crowd was a lot more interesting than the crowd at a concert I had seen the nite before at the Black Sheep Inn. People had come in from skiing, some people came on ski-doos... I had the best fries I've ever had in my life...mmmmm..... So I bought Blue Parade (I bought Universe the last time I saw her)and Sarah signed it "You braved a blizzard...I love you" I read it and said "Sarah, you play music...I love *you*" and she was all cute and embarrased. As I half-expected, Ian Lefevre of Starling fame was there. He said he drove up w/ Sarah cuz Starling was in TO. We talked about music and how everyone should quit their jobs and write songs :) Man, I adore Ian! The weather was terrible for driving but the 45min trip was tons of fun and I had such a great time! I have a question! I absloutely love "Last Year's War" (as I know many others do too) and for some reason I was sure it was on Blue Parade. When saw it, I realized it wasn't on the disc, not even as a "hidden track". Is it available somewhere else? Probably not eh? One of those gems she only plays live? Hope you enjoyed my concert babble! TO folks! PLease go see Tegan and Sara!!!!
