I checked with the Berkeley Krisna temple and they have a feast Sunday
nights. They said it starts at 5:30pm, said something about the "deities"
at 7pm and the veggie feast at 8pm. I'm not sure if you can drop in for 
the feast only like the temple I used to go to, or if you have to show up
earlier and eat dogma too. 

Also, there's some sort of Krisna parade happening in Golden Gate park
in San Francisco on August 9th, that I think ends at a festival of food
too. I've heard they have huge chariots and some wax statue they keep
on ice. Sounds like a great place for a date, or to meet one...

I am attempting to find out if there any bay area singles that would
be interested in attending an Early Music or Period Instrument concert
together this fall.  This is just a preliminary enquiry. What I would
like on your reply (please e-mail it to me) would be your musical
tastes (especially your dislikes), your geographic restrictions, etc.

 Example --

  No French Baroque Operas or Italian Cantatas.

  I don't ever go to the SOUTH bay.

  If its not on a Tuesday night then I won't go.

Note. This is not a boink (whatever that is). But there will probably
be some pre/post concert socializing.

 Thank you,

    Gary Oblock

This trail is paved on the Mt. View side, dirt on the PA side.

The Dutch Goose is located at the
northeast corner of Alameda de las Pulgas
and Avy Avenue in Menlo Park.

If you're close to 280, go to the
Sand Hill Road east offramp (turn towards
the Bay).  Go to the 6th intersection (I
am including the intersection at the end
of the offramp if you're coming from the
south) and turn left.  Stay in the left
lanes, and go to the third light - the
Goose will be on your right across the
intersection.  There's limited parking in
the front - or turn right on Avy and look
for parking in the lot behind the Goose,
or across from it - or park along Avy.

If you're coming from 101, best bet is to
either get to 280, or get a map - there
is no really good, direct route.  If you
can get to Santa Cruz Avenue (the British
Banker's Club is on the corner), then go
straight up Santa Cruz (towards the ocean)
and keep going straight after it turns into
Avy - the Goose will be on your right when
you reach the intersection with Alameda.

Hi, Charleen!
 
I'm *very* new to reading this group (as of about 2 hrs ago), and only
slightly less-new to Internet (about 10 days now), but one of my reasons
for selecting this group was the possibility of getting more active

While discussing the BBBB at Diana's HumpDayBoink this 
evening, we realized that with the massive expected turnout
nobody would be able to remember each other's names.
After a brief discussion we realized that we were desperately
in need of the Bob Becker Bike Boink Bright Blue Butt Button.

Consider the following scenario.....

Let's take at random, a name.  Like for instance, Suzie.
Imagine Suzie cruising along on the BBBB, her heart bursting
with pride because she knows that her posterior is sporting
the BBBBBBBB.
It is then completely appropriate for someone passing or 
riding behind Suzie to say, "Hey, Suzie, Nice butt button!!!"

Great, huh!  So when you RSVP, please include the name you 
would like to have on your computer generated BBBBBBBB.

It looks like the mini-golfing event will be in Sunnyvale.  This locale 
was previously used by another group for their boink and was quite succesful.
It will be held on Saturday, the 8th of August, from 2-4 p.m. approximately.

Some of us will be getting together for lunch beforehand, so all those
interested in joining us (time and schedules permitting) are welcome.
My south bay contacts are finding a suitable locale for lunch, which I
will post later.  Gathering for drinks/snacks afterwards is also an option.
This will allow people to get to know each other better.

The crowd will be between 22-42 yrs of age.  There will be approximately
10-20 of us.  I think that will be big enough to be fun, and small enough
to keep under control.

I'll post more details as I get them.


Cheers!

Just so you know,  the Coyote Creek trail is pretty isolated.  Highway 101
is on one side and Monterey highway on the other.  There is, however, a
neat little breakfast diner in Morgan Hill just a bit past Cochrane on the
main drag before it enters the town.  I'm not sure how far that would be

Any ba.single folks like jazz and would be interesting in attending a

See, See. It can be done.  A net.neophyte can come onto ba.singles and
post and article that is not just a personal.  Not only that, but the
article contained something that, for me, describes the purpose of ba.singles
and to a lesser extent soc.singles.  That would be "the possibility of 
getting more active socially."  One way to increase our social activity is
to plan and attend social events.  Another is to "practice" our social
interaction through the network by discussing singles issues.  Whether we
participate in these interactions or not something can be learned which
may not increase our social activities but should improve how we interact
"in the real world".  Finally there is the chance that you`ll actually meet
the person of your dreams through the net.  

Welcome to ba.singles Lana.

The three quotes express very different views, despite the surface 
similarities.  Bacon's near Paganism steeped in the Enlightnment era 
misogyny, promotes using the system to conquer the system.  

Nietzsche's quote neatly folds into a feudal, totalitarian, autocratic and 
dictatorial views of reality, where a self-asserted leader commands those 
who can not assert themselves.  

The "chinese fortune cookie" teaches that to know how to lead you must know 
how to follow -- a very different lesson from the other two.

All three quotes have a number of obvious and hidden meanings, few of 
which overlap.  Do not make a mistake of blindly substituting one with 
the others.
