Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable yep... I'm not quite done yet... 1) re: NYC media reviews- number one, I rarely believe what reviewers s= ay anyway. Once in a great blue moon (which we will have one in Jan and one= in Mar, btw) I'll actually agree with Siskel and Ebert about movies... usual= ly if they say it was awful I run right out and see it, if they like it I'll wa= it until I accidentally stumble upon it on cable. number two, if i'm not mistaken Time Out is one of those small local events rags. writers for t= hose tend to be bitter, cynical, and overly opinionated anyway. number three,= it's NYC, where everyone thinks everything sucks... ;^} just kidding to all y= ou New Yorkers out there!!! 2) re: Fruwench's Fr=FCsolutions- Good for you! I totally relate to b= eing shy and skittish around the guys. The first time I saw Jian and he wasn'= t on stage was at the Harro East show this past Nov. I made such a complete a= $$ of myself I wanted to crawl under a rock and die. I was determined to make = up for it in Buffalo that Sat, and made sure I had a CD liner for them to si= gn as my excuse. I don't feel like I need "an excuse" to talk to them now... b= ut on the other hand I have this need/desire to have every Fr=FCvous-related it= em I own signed by them (I just bought Wood and b, nice virgin light-colored l= iners just waiting to be signed... Bargainville and Live Noise present a slight= problem, but nothing a gold or silver pen can't fix!). I don't want my T-shirts signed tho', because I wear them and wash them a lot and I'd be heart-broken when the 'graphs faded (besides, both my Fr=FCvous shirts ar= e black and again need the silver or gold pen). Anyway, I was saying I know what you mean and that I can relate. I grew = up very much the introvert... between moving around and always being the new= kid and the fact that I'm a minority and that my eyes have been the same size= since I was about 2 and grew into them (see my picks... big ol' huge bugg= y eyes... though my friend now say I have japanimation/anime eyes). I was always picked on, teased, etc.. and the best way to avoid it was to disap= pear into the shadows, so I did... for a very long time. I never learned how = to socialize until college, but even then I had seriously shy moments. Then= I found the SCA, and my persona "Yasmina" seemed to take on a new and compl= etely different life than my mundane/modern/real personage. If you saw me at a= n event, you honestly wouldn't recognize me because I am completely and tot= ally different than in real life. (I too started out as a wench, my nick was "stealth wench" cause i jumped right into Italian Ren. for garb, but my attitude was all wench!). In the past couple of years I've been bringing= some of that brazen attitude from my SCA side and add it to my real-life side.= It has helped tremendously. Maybe it makes my sound schizophrenic or someth= ing, I dunno... but whenever I start feeling uncomfortable I make a mental shi= ft into "Yasmina" mode (of course, the garb makes it easier, too). Maybe th= at's something to consider, bringing in your SCA side when you're feeling wall-flowerish... :^) Hmmm, with this little goal in mind... does this mean that if we're drumm= ing at Fr=FCCon and a certain Persian Percussionist happens by with his doumb= ek you won't run for the hills? I'm holding you to it... should he appear you W= ILL NOT put away the drum, got it! ;^} 1a) speaking of drumming, not just to you but the other drummer (who in = my senility forgot posted it, arrrghh!!!) I'm most interested in your interpretation of Raja and Sahara. The way I hear Raja, it's a bitch to = play (oops), because I'm forcing a patty-cake (my finger rolls aren't loud eno= ugh to be effective... cursed bony fingers!!!) Fruwench, I'm curious as to t= he person you were drumming with and converted to Fr=FCvism. It sounds like= this guy Jas who drums in the SCA (I cited his page last week). Interesting. = BTW, if you're going to Pennsic... we _HAVE_ to hit the Hafla on Tuesday at th= e Oasis- you find me, I find you, we find Durr and drum ourselves silly!!! = deal? The reason I was asking about Raja is because you were saying you combo t= hat with Masmoudi (2 or 3 beat?) I've been so busy working on the finger rolls/patty cakes that I haven't even considered combo-ing it. Other com= bo's you might be interested in: 2 Beledi and 4 Sa'idi (variation of Beledi),= 4 Beledi and 2 3-beat Masmoudi (arrgh, I wish I'd thought to bring my littl= e drumming book with me).

(reviews of the LA show) - --------------------------------------- Part One : Adventures With Greyhound Story #1: DAMON, THE (DRUNKEN) DRUG DEALER It all started wednesday morning around 6am (oh yes) where i would be on the bus from Denver to LA. There were 2 seats left by the time tyler and I made our way onto the bus and I took the first of the two available. This took a couple of minutes as the man who would later be my "bus buddy," Damon, gathered up all his stuff that was in the seat next to him and situated himself in one seat. Immediately i notice he has three bottles. One, a typical water bottle, the other a bottle of whiskey and the final a bottle of gin. Anyways, i sat down as Damon offered the two women in the seat in front of us some "orange juice" which he had pulled out of his bag. hmm... Damon finished off every bottle within the first hour of our trip (drinking each straight) all the while, telling me his entire life story. His wife had left him on christmas day and he hadn't been sober since "how'd you get stuck sitting next to a pathetic drunk man?" he asked me. Well, it wasn't much longer until i was no longer sitting *next to* this man as he had passed out *on* me. hehee... i didn't mind cuz, i just pushed him aside and leaned back on him and he made a very nice pillow. (what the hell, make the best of your situation right?) :) I didn't want to bug him either... he told me the only reason he was on his way to seattle was pick up his cars. I sarcastically said "oh you don't like the bus?" of course he went off on how terrible greyhound was but then he said he couldn't wait to be going home on it again. i was confused as to why he was picking up his cars and then taking the bus home which was when he let it slip that his cars were filled with a "trunk full of coke and the other's full of all sorts of dope." It turns out that he offered the two women in front of us the cars if they would just drive all of the stuff to wherever it needed to be. "Oh... so you take the bus and let them get caught?" "It's okay she..." he points to the woman on the right "she's got a gun." Okay, so i knew more than i wanted to know, i slipped on my headphones and tried to sleep, but couldn't cuz our next subject kept looking at me... Story #2: THE LONELY UCLA FRAT BOY So this guy (decked out in a plaid shirt and some tommy hilfigger overalls) was sitting a row in front of me on the opposite side of the two women with damon. Anyways, he keeps turning back and grining at me which, okay, sure it's flattering and all but... Jumping about 15 hours later (long after damon had transferred to another bus), I hop off the bus in Beaver, Utah and he follows me. "so are you going to LA too?" he asked. "yeah, i'm catching a concert out there" he seemed disappointed and blurted out "oh, i thought you might go to school out there as well." "oh? where do you go?" "UCLA" i was about to say something but he had to add "yeah, i got a full scholarship to play tennis." whatever bro. Anyways, at that point I spotted tyler in "bambi's cafe" (which by the way, doesn't employ anyone named "bambi") and worked my way out of the conversation pretty dern quickly. i know, i'm a gank. Story #3: CJ & CO. LOOKING FOR SOME SHTUFF So CJ and her boyfriend (who never shared his name) had gotten on the bus in st. louis and were on their way to LA to spend a week "in the woods." "hmm" i thought, the woods? in LA? The CJ & Co. story starts right in the beginning of the trip right outside of denver, when damon noticed that they had a camera. Damon asks them "hey, can i use that? i left my camera at home." He snatches it out of their hands and takes a picture of his two female friends, then hands the camera back to CJ. Anyways, by the time we got to Las Vegas, sitting in the bus station as they serviced our bus, CJ comes up "hey, do you have a fatty on ya?" I didn't, and all i could think was if just damon was still around he could've hooked it up. "Damn, i tried to roll one on the bus but with all the turbulence it fell apart." turbulence? i thot that was an airplane term... erg, if i'd just flown! However, CJ found a bottle of robitusin, chugged it, and seemed content. After Las Vegas, the UCLA frat boy had found a new chica to hit on and he too, seemed content. I was pretty content as well as, Tyler and I were able to get two seats together and i had myself a new pillow. (what else are guys good for on long trips?). *grin* [poster's note: HEY!] There are a few more stories... the UCLA professor that was a high school drop out and his story of how he'd been mugged in New Orleans.
