The newsgroup ba.announce is for the posting of announcements that
would be of interest to the entire Bay Area Usenet Community.  The
intent is that every Usenet reader in the Bay Area should be able
to subscribe to ba.announce without being overwhelmed by volume.

Postings should be short; the ideal posting would be less than 50
lines.  Please remember to format your postings for 80-column
screens, as that is the most common screen size on the net.  Also,
please check your spelling and grammar.

Please include location information in the Subject: line!  Not counting
sites in other states and countries, the Bay Area Usenet distribution is at
least 6 hours' drive across, and longer if you take public transit.

Content is restricted to announcements only.  Discussions are not
appropriate material.  If you are announcing a meeting for an
organization that is not well-known, please feel free to include
a short statement of the organization's history and purpose as a
part of the announcement posting.  Please do not send us background
material as separate postings; it will be sent back to you.

For sale/wanted, or rental ads are not appropriate material.  Please post such
ads to the proper ba.market group.  Any postings of those types will be
returned if possible, and dropped into the bit bucket if not.

Announcements of seminars should be posted to ba.seminars.

For-sale and for-rent advertisements should be posted to the appropriate
ba.market group.

Some examples of appropriate postings:

      * An announcement of a meeting of a political organization.

      * Party announcements or other social get-togethers.

      * Conference schedule announcements, e.g. Interop or Usenix, if
        it will be held in the Bay Area.

      * Book signings, celebrity visits (authors, Usenet figures, etc).

The moderators are:

Try posting the the sharks mailing list at sharks@medraut.apple.com - I'm
sure you will find a fan to go with you... You didn't happen to get tickets
to the habs game did you? I have a friend from Canada that really wants to go.

I am an old-time hockey fan of the St. Louis Blues, moved west and became a
Kings fan in LA, moved again up to here and enjoyed the Shgarks last year.

I bought two seats for ten games this year.  I have begged, bugged and
cajoled everyone I can think of to join me and so far, no luck.

I am looking for another fan in the mid-peninsula area who would like to

I don't need an invitation, do I?  Actually, even last year when the
niners were losing a few and their D was truly in trouble (giving up
TDs instead of 3s and giving up last minute scores to lose the game
- most uncharacteristic of niner D)  A lot of the TV analysts were
still picking niners as one of the top couple teams, Madden , Buddy
Ryan, and Fouts.  I heard Buddy on a radio show pick them to win the
Super Bowl if they got a couple breaks and made it to the playoffs.
They had 5 or 6 losses at the time with a couple to play.

I think their D is on track.  Even in their most defensively dominant
years, they started fairly slow.  Early in the season, they rarely
blitz, never do anything complicated, and will stick to a fairly
soft zone.  They play all the D line players a lot of minutes.  that
has the positive effect of keeping them fresh, but the negative
effect of being unable to work out a rhythm.  By the end of the
season, the big advantage is the linemen won't be banged up as much,
a lot stronger and quicker than their counterparts who've taken
a lickin all year.  This is one of the reasons the niner D gets so
good at end of the year, year after year.  By the fifth game this
year they'll start sending LBs on blitzes, by the 12th game they'll
start sending DBs more.

The Defensive backfield will get better and better.  Merton Hanks
looks like he'll have a great season (please don't get hurt) as will
Griffin.

I already talked about safeties last week, won't repeat.

I'm impressed with John Johnson - can he be a reincarnation of Keena
Turner?

COFER:  I had him cut a couple weeks ago, I wonder if his
replacement would have hit those 3 crucial field goals last week -
egg on my face.  One thought - by sticking Bono in as holder, I
think the Niners have made a stronger commitment to success in their
kicking game.  I wondered how good a holder Helton was last year.
Remember that, years ago, Montana held for Wersching.  I think they
should continue that sort of commitment.

Go Niners!  I hope the Rams have a great game, every game has been
fun to watch so far.

I would venture to say that if the Bills would have lost, the same
rap would have been labeled on them. It is just human nature to a
degree. The media would have said "The Niners were lucky to have won
this game." They could also say, "The secondary and defense allowed 
34 points and we just won by 2 points." I suppose that since we all know 
the Niners secondary is predominately young, then it would be natural for 
the media to criticize it. It appears then, that the Niners are in a no win 
situation until they go all the way to the SB and WIN IT for the 5th time 
(1993!!!). The media will then applaud and praise their defensive abilities.:-)

I have two tickets to this weekend's Raiders/Giants game for sale.
The game is at the LA Coliseum, on Sunday, October 4.

The tickets are on the 18 yard line, in the shade of Al Davis' press
box (section 5, row 72).

The tickets are $33 each (face value), but we'll accept the best
reasonable offer.  I'll deliver on the San Francisco peninsula.  We
can work out the details of delivery beyond this area.  If there is no
good offer by Thursday PM, we'll donate the tickets to the Raiders, to
be sold for charity.

The Berkeley Harmonia Chorus and Orchestra needs experienced singers and

for chorus with orchestra.

We are currently preparing for performances of the Bach Christmas Oratorio this
December.  In the recent past, we have performed works such as the B Minor
Mass by Bach, the Brahms German Requiem, Beethoven's Symphonies 1 & 2, Sacred
Service by Bloch, Schubert's Mass in Ab, and the Schubert Symphony #8 "Unfin-

*****************STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL SPRING 92************************

Hi!

I was at the strawberry festival at Camp Mather this year in the spring
and as usual forgot to take a tape recorder to tape the music played by
Hog Ranch Radio.

If anyone out there was at the SPRING Strawberry this year and taped
all or some of the music, I would be interested in getting/buying a
copy .

Thanks.

Hmm.  Here's another data point.  When the Bobcat Goldthwait/Flying
Kasmarov (sp/sp?) performance was canceled at Paul Masson, we were 
told to request our refund from Bass Tickets (in Concord I believe).
So Bass is clearly involved financially in Paul Masson's ticket sales.
I doubt sincerely Bass does this for free.
