  2. OK, my final bump on this one. Apparently tickets aren't selling like hotcakes; I got a "groupon" in my email a couple weeks ago for $15 tickets (for the good $32 seats), so I lucked out on that. Lots of seats left...

     

    The SCFA website lists the program as :

     

    The program for the evening will include: Brian Eno Music for Airports 1/1 (arr. Michael Gordon), Michael Gordon For Madeline, Louis Andriessen Workers Union, Glenn Kotche/Steve Reich Clapping Music Variations, Steve Reich Music for Pieces of Wood (arr. David Cossin), Glenn Kotche Snap, Glenn Kotche Mobile

     

    I wonder if he's bringing the crickets this time? :brow

     

    ed: yes, there is a NYC show on Apr 30 in Carnegie Hall...

  3. I haven't heard any of the new album yet, but I did catch them on Leno last night and I must say I was a little underwhelmed. They played "Down by the Water". Just OK, but less than I expected.

     

    For the record, I think that The Hazards of Love is a fabulous album. Doesn't seem to get a lot of love here.

  4. The post by Vacant Horizon that "i listen to the music so much more when it's on cd rather than on my ipod" got me thinking..

     

    Putting stuff on your ipod is often not the same 'investment' as buying or even burning a CD. I suppose that we wind up with a lot of stuff on our 60 or 120 gigafratz devices that we put there and have never listened to at all. Ever. I've had songs come up on 'random' that I had no idea what they were. I had put them on the ipod in some big 10 CD rip from the library or whatever, and never got around to listening to some.

     

    Well?

  5. Be careful what you wish for!

     

    That's the message that Jorge Garcia, who played unlucky lotto winner Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on Lost, has for the more than 9,000 Mega Millions winners who cashed in by using the mysterious numbers from ABC's hit show.

     

    "The numbers are bad," he writes in a post on his blog headlined, "When Will People Learn?"

     

    The post continues with the words "Enjoy your" and an image of a $100 bill and a $50 bill with the word "cursed" stamped over them.

     

    Mega Millions players who picked the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 – the same numbers that haunted Hurley and the other islanders on Lost – before Tuesday's drawing won about $150 for matching four of six of the jackpot-winning numbers, 4, 8, 15, 25, 47 and 42, with 42 being the Mega Ball number.

  6. Little Johnny goes trick or treating dressed as a pirate. He goes up to a house by himself, rings the doorbell, and says "trick or teat!". Old man comes to the door with some candy, looks over little Johnny's costume, looks around, and seeing no other children says "you're quite the little pirate, there. Where are your buccaneers?"

     

    Little Johnny replies "Right here on the side of my buckin' head, same as yours."

  7. What a nifty little device! My little orange tree is producing a beautiful crop this year, so I think I need one of these. Do you know where I might find one? Here's a view of my tree's amusing "four-in-a-row" oranges:

    Well, great oranges certainly need a great tool. ;)

     

    Pampered Chef makes it, but you can find it elsewhere on the interweb. I guess that's kinda obvious.

  8. Well? Slightly more thought out than pure cash, check, or money order... but there's no concealing how much you love someone (monetarily speaking) on these.

     

    I didn't, but the kids all got some from cousins and grandparents... i-tunes and gamestop topped the list. I wouldn't have minded getting an i-tunes one myself, truth be told.
