Hey, since you're a Chicago person... any suggestions on where to take 19 middle-aged former Soviet oil and gas experts for a birthday dinner somewhere in/near downtown Chicago? Someplace where they can get loud without irritating the living daylights out of everyone around them? I will be in Chicago with these guys in a couple of weeks, and two of them share a birthday. We're going to Underwriters Laboratories earlier in the day to watch a controlled product test burn in a 5-story warehouse, which I told them will be the ultimate birthday candle. Sort of like the Backdraft set at Universal Studios, just with real scary chemicals. Despite spending all my formative years in Illinois (Moline), I don't know Chicago very well, and the only place I know to eat in is a tiny (but really cool) Armenian cafe at the corner of Michigan and Wells!

They look like berber carpet scraps or bootscrapers with sharpy pointy things on them. Ewwww. Hell, I have problems with the damn black crickets that keep climbing up the pipes into my tub. These would freak the shit out of me. > Thankfully none of that here!!

About four years ago, I walked out my front door here, a few miles from central Washington, DC to see an Eastern Coyote (which is, apparently, making a comeback) padding along the sidewalk. I just about jumped out of my skin. I used to have a fox that would make unearthly keening noises from under the cherry tree outside my living room window, but he's now gone, replaced by a very loud hoot owl. Last year, driving home from work one evening, a friend and I saw a creature that looked so much like a jackal that we phoned the National Zoo to see if they'd had any runaways. They said no, but we were mega freaked by this critter, which was running around, looking horribly confused, covered with mud, in the grassy yard between Intelsat and the Israeli Embassy. Still don't know what the hell it was, but it sure didn't look native to this continent! Hung over today and trying to forget about a crappy, crappy work week, Melissa J. - -- Melissa R.

The Shawshank Redemption ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Jun 2002 19:34:26 -0700 From: "Crackers" Subject: Alloy: MPEG Video / MTC Sync Say, does anyone here know of software for the PC which will allow you to playback MPEG video synced with MIDI Time Code? I want to be able to slave the PC through MIDI to my 788 and have it play video in sync with the audio I'm recording on the 788. I don't need anything fancy. I don't need to be able to edit the video itself. Just something that will play it back in sync with MIDI time code. I have other software for editing MPEG files and mating them to WAV files but nothing for syncing the video to an external audio device. I want to be able to record video soundtracks on my 788 that will be synced to MPEG video on the PC so when I dump the audio to the PC as a WAV file I can combine it with the MPEG and burn it on a VCD and everything will be in sync. Any ideas? Preferably freeware if such a beastie exists. Crackers (Dubbing my own movies from hell!!!)
