Very few people look closely, and if they do notice the expired ID, we'll all vouch that you just spent the last 6 months in Zimbabwe and only got back this morning, honest, and just haven't had time to take care of these pesky details. *grin* ____ \ /__ Caitlin Xantha Hazen \/ / caitlin@wayward-volvo.org \/ http://www.wayward-volvo.org/xanthe.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 13:01:15 -0400 From: "Kheldar" Subject: Re: Books for Frutripping?

For those of you that do not know, Meatball is my 4 month old guinea pig, and she is very sick. She isn't really moving, she doesn't seem to be eating or drinking, and thus I am dropper feeding her. For those of you who have been friendly and concerned on #MoxyFruvous, I am now waiting until 2:30pm, when the vet gets out of surgery, and will be bringing the little creature there. I really do not knwo whether she will make it, but I am hoping. Basically, I want to thank those of you who offered rides, advice, etc., and to keep you posted on what is happening. Once again, I apologize for cluttering up the boxes of those who don't care. Peace be with you; Kelly Silver7 on irc ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 19:03:34 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: All Things Considered - TOMORROW On Wed, 19 Aug 1998 02:53:04 GMT, nicole.the.wonder.nerd.is@ana.ng.at.tmbg.org (Nicole the Wonder Nerd) wrote: >1) show up with own ID.

Don't forget that some bouncers can actually be reasoned with. If they're turning you away for being under age, ask whether they have any of the bracelets or whatever else they use for under-21 nights and volunteer to wear one. (DON'T emphasize that you don't plan to drink anything -- clubs make their money on the drinks, not on the cover, so saying that doesn't make them any more inclined to let you in.) That, plus an impassioned manifesto of your love for the performer(s), might be enough to get you in -- if nothing else, it relieves the bar of liability if they can't serve you because you're wearing that bracelet. - -- "I wish EVERY day could be a shearing festival!" -- The 10 Commandments =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Keith Ammann is geenius@albany.net "I notice you have a cloud of doom.
