At the risk of being disgusting, but still on the Clinton side of things (what's the difference? ), I can sort of sympathize with Monica Lewinsky now. They didn't give me enough sedative before they shoved the camera and operating tools down my throat. The upshot of this is that I woke up on the table before they'd finished. Nightmarish. Take care of that ulcer, and get them to check you for whatever bacteria it is that they've discovered causes ulcers. Antibiotics beat an endoscopy anyday. ;-) // Lee Jackson (jacksonhome@home.com) // http://gameaudio.3dportal.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 15:27:09 EDT From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Re: Alloy: Drugs! was:Sea runs dry and the moon leaves its orbit In a message dated 9/15/99 4:59:55 AM Eastern Daylight Time, jacksonhome@home.com writes: :: The down side is the pain and nausea. :: Yeeesch, these are no good at all...

Robin T Ex'pression Center for New Media hosts hands on conference on the music business - five years into the future EMERYVILLE, Calif--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1999--It could only happen at Ex'pression. Requirement #1: Participants at the Music Business 2005 Conference Oct. 15-17 need not only to be able to focus their discussions and debates on the music business five years into the future - they have to be able to literally hold that future in their hands, to listen to it, to look inside it's guts, to consider it's pros and cons and to play with it. "No problem," promised Gary Platt, president of Ex'pression Center for New Media, host of the conference of audio futurists at the San Francisco Bay Area school he opened earlier this year. Ex'pression's just-completed campus is up to the task and its students and staff, as always, are eager to entertain, Platt promised. The key difference between your usual industry conference and the breath-taking event scheduled at Ex'pression is an intense hands-on approach that would be simply unattainable in any convention hall or hotel banquet room, explained event producer David Schwartz, former editor in chief of Mix Magazine. Hands-on is an Ex'pression specialty. In Ex'pression's theater, leading innovators from the music, audio, computer and Internet industries will conduct panel discussions on subjects such as redefining the role of the record label; the music business beyond MP3; new models for selling and delivering music; and the convergence of the Internet, radio, TV and multimedia broadcasting. Meanwhile, in Ex'pression's various classrooms and recording studios, experts will demonstrate the latest in recording hardware and software and give participants a chance to author a DVD, set up an Internet radio broadcast, learn 5.1 Surround mixing tips, study the home audio system of tomorrow, and examine MP3 from the inside out. A special treat, headlined as the "Producer's Playhouse," is planned for the Harman Studio at Ex'pression, featuring the incomparable Studer D950S mixing console. The new studio will be debuted during this conference. Recording artist Steve Miller will be working there. So will multi-platinum producers Jerry Harrison (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Verve Pipe, Crash Test Dummies), David Kahne (Sugar Ray, No Doubt, Shawn Colvin, Sublime), David Pack (Wynonna, Linda Rondstadt, West Side Story collection), and Arne Frager, owner of world-renowned Plant recording studios in Sausalito, Calif., and a veteran producer. Rocket Network's Internet recording studios for online audio collaboration will also use the Studer studio to link together artists from several places around the world over a Web site for an online recording session at full professional levels of fidelity. Personalities from Audio Cafe will be mixing up an audience-participation debate in the espresso bar, where scheduled discussions range from intellectual property rights in Cyberspace to barriers still facing women and minorities in the industry; the future of consumer audio playback devices; and "who's really running the music industry?" The list of more than 50 presenters for the three-day event includes: Henry Azima (Founder & Ceo, NXT), John Perry Barlow (futurist, Electronic Frontier Foundation; Grateful Dead lyricist), Nicholas Butterworth (President & CEO, SonicNet/ATN), Ted Cohen (Producer, Consulting Adults/Webnoize), Thomas Dolby Robertson (CEO, Beatnik; Recording Artist), Mike Farrace (V. P. Worldwide Marketing, Tower Records), Lisa Farris (ECat VP, Mktg., MCA/Universal), Les Garland (President, Sputnik 7; Co-Founder, MTV), Mike Greene (CEO, NARAS), Thomas Hale (President & CEO, Wired Planet), Rolf Hartley (Audio Product Marketing Manager, Sonic Solutions), Liz Heller (former Exec.V.P., Capitol Records), Gerry Kearby (CEO, Liquid Audio), Andrew Keen (Founder, Chairman & CEO, Audiocafe.com), John Kellogg (Gen. Mgr., Multichannel Music, Dolby), Robert H Kohn (Chairman, EMusic), David Leibowitz (President & CEO, Aris Technologies), Dave Pakman (CEO & President, MyPlay), Skip Pizzi (Interactive TV Manager, Microsoft), Phil Ramone (Producer), and Jay Samit (EMI Music). The full list and the latest details on conference plans, are available on the Web at www.MB-5.com. MB-5 is a conference to deal with the rapid changes that face everyone in the music industry. "It's a futurists' gathering," said Schwartz. "MB-5 will bring together the perspectives of music industry leaders who don't usually find themselves in the same setting artists, managers, producers, technologists, publishers, software and hardware manufacturers, attorneys, investors, educators and Internet entrepreneurs. The premise of MB-5 involves projecting ourselves five years into the future to share visions and predictions of where we will be after what is bound to be the most dynamic five-year period in the history of the music business." Convergence of what were in the past separate industries is the specialty of Kelli Richards, MB-5 Co-producer. Richards, who is today an independent consultant, worked with Apple Computer for more than 10 years, was a member of the A&R staff at EMI Records in Los Angeles, and has been talent coordinator for the BAMMIES for 15 years. Conference sponsors include Ex'pression, Mix magazine, Audio Cafe, Electronic Musician magazine, Launch.com, The Recording Industry Sourcebook, Meyer Sound, SonicNet, NXT, ThingWorld.com and KABA. Registration for the full three days is $995. Single-day passes are available at $295. Download photos and a logo scanned for publication at: www.givememore.com/expression.

This was the damage which occured to the plane we were on going to England in 1990.
