WEAKEND
Due to the stormy weather, we didn't get out at all this weekend. But hey, it
gave us time to get our Back-to-childhood Halloween party invites done!
http://www.degeneratepress.com/invite/halloween2002.html
October 26th, Saturday, it's the official Degenerate Press Halloween /
Frederick's birthday / Frederick's got a job / check out our new bar PARTY!
As usual with our Hallowed events, it is a costume affair so start thinking
ahead for a Return To Childhood theme costume! We don't care if it's a cartoon
character, a political figure from your youth, that swell Member's Only jacket
you just couldn't bear to part with, or if you just show up in your jammyjams,
just don't bring any actual children for this childish event.
But bring adults, and lots of 'em, 'cause we're always looking to expand our
circle of friends!
We'll have booze, though our stockpiles aren't what they were before a year of
unemployment, and we'll have food, so just bring yourself and friends with
smiles and costumes!
If you want a paper invite, send me your address! Yeah, I SHOULD have it but I
lost it. The cat ate it. You moved. I moved. Whatever, just email me the damn
thing, you slacker.
EAR PLUGS
I was doing some updates to the Ear Plugs web site and stumbled across our
entries for various Smoke and Benjamin shows and efforts. A couple of years back
the cellist from Smoke, Brian Holloran, said he was working on a "Benjamin
Remembered" CD with previously unreleased material. Brian has since moved out of
town so I emailed him to ask the status of the project and this is his reply:
i hit a motivation block, as well as a financial one. I'll let you know when
that changes,
thanks for caring,
b
On other fronts, I was worried - last week's Loafing didn't have a mention of
OutKast on the front page of the Vibes section! But don't fret, they're back
this week in the opening paragraph. Phew!
BLASPHEMY
This Sunday's ACJ actually has a few commentaries in the @Issue section that
aren't pro-Bush pro-hate pro-war pro-oil. I'm finding more and more media
outlets that are questioning the President's "war on terror" and exposing it for
the political "war to distraction" that it is. No, I don't think that will do a
damn thing, any more than public opinion did in stopping congress from wasting
millions of dollars and hours on Clinton's sex life. But hey, at least I'm not
the only questioning voice out there. Now if only they wouldn't relegate this
stuff to the editorial section, implying it's not newsworthy...
Take me to Degenerate Press' home page!
There's no place like home... no place like home...
