Hi netters,

A question for y'all:

I have a friend in Philadelphia who works as part of a small group of
consultants who help universities set up outreach programs, i.e.
establishing programs that allow college students to help kids in
inner-city elementary and high schools.  He spends a large part of his
day interacting with people at universities, and he thinks that he'd
be able to save a lot of time if he could send email and exchange
files.  His group uses PC's of various flavors (mostly Macs). Their
level of technical expertise is such that they wouldn't be able to set
up their own Unix machine with uucp, etc.

Can anyone recommend a good service which provides cheap access to
email for someone with just a PC and a modem? I've heard that
Compuserve provides this service, but I have no idea how much they
charge or whether they do a good job. I've also heard of a company
called PSI which is in this business.

If any of you have favorable or unfavorable experiences to report
about this sort of thing, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Nat

Yes, I'd say there is some difference between a typo and think-o. His

Of course, so are replies to grammar flames...

Now that makes this a reply to a reply to grammar flames.

Well, I personally think attacks against the author are perfectly
justified. Go back and read the document. Only very rarely does he
refer to the his organization has 'the organization' or 'the group' or
'the association'. He refers to his group as 'US'. The document is not
the product of commitee establishing an organization; it's the product
of somebody or a group of somebodies expressing 'their' views. By
using the pronoun 'us', he is including himself in the that group,
clearly indicating that his views are on display.

Hence, an attack on the document is also an attack on the author.

I have a 40" x 30" document that I want to digitize,
and I'm looking for a service bureau which can digitize
that size of a document.

The document has about 8 colors, so the associated
digitizer would have to be able to maintain those
colors.

I would want the output in either TIFF or PICT format,
and I can supply a Syquest cartride for the data
storage.  I also have a 9600 bps modem which could
be used for data transfer.

If worse comes to worse I could use the 8-1/2" by
14" color scanner that I already have, but I
would rather not have to digitize the document
in parts and then re-register it in software.

Please email suggestions.

Yep, the good folks at the Houston Press blew it again.

Their "music person" Mr. Brad Tyer reports on the supposed
disbanding of Toy Subs, and Zsu Zsu's Petals in the 12/9 issue.

Don't believe a word of it.  The rumor was started by a disgruntled
former employee of the two bands, and Mr. Tyer printed it without
bothering to call a single member of *either* band for conformation.

Guess we now know who NOT to read for information concerning the
local scene.

I couldn't agree more...I have been following the band for quite a while.  The
best thing about Ten Hands IMO is that they don't play covers...they perform
their own music.  They are better in person than on their albums (the guitar
seems to be toned down in the studio).  I highly recommend the Ten Hands
experience.

One of the opening bands is a Ride/Cure ripoff band called Forever Falling,
probably the closest thing I've seen of shoegazers in this city.  No idea
what they're doing opening for Ten Hands, but who am I to ask these things?

That's pretty funny, since just a few years ago, Public News had nothing

used to call the Pain Teens "an embarrassment".  Oh well, some people

Please help me. I'm trying to compile a list of Chapman Stick players in Texas,
whether they play actively in bands or not; whether they use Stick as their
primary instrument or just occasionally; whatever type of music.

So far, I only know of the following players:
__________________________________________________________________
| Name                  | City           | Band                  |
------------------------------------------------------------------
| Giancarlo Caffarina   | Houston        | Wall of Miracles      |
| Chuck Ivy             | Houston        | solo                  |
| Gary Muller           | Dallas         | Ten Hands             |
| Brett Needham         | Houston        | Joint Chiefs          |
------------------------------------------------------------------

I've heard that one of the members of Zen Archer, from Houston, plays Stick
occassionally, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

If you play, or if you know someone or have heard of someone in Texas that
does play Champan Stick (sometimes know simply as The Stick), please let
me know.

Thanks.

The official word:

There is no more Zsu Zsu's Petals, at least by that name.  They were 
considering changing (some) members, and changing the name of the band.
However, nothing is definite -- and they may just stay broken up.

If you've ever wondered what a Chapman Stick is, it's worth the ticket cost

use BOTH hands!!!

So come out and see the show. You really will enjoy it. Honest.

    Check out yesterday's Houston Press, or whatever other source you
can find on the proposed zoning regulations.  If unchanged, they will
close, at next liquor license renewal, every club that is:

	* on property zoned residential, or

	* in an "urban neighborhood" (a designation intended for
		eclectic mixed-use neighborhoods)

    Apparently, as the maps are now drawn, this would kill
Rockefeller's, Fitzgerald's, Anderson Fair, Emo's and most other clubs
in Montrose and the Heights.
    Perhaps I exaggerate -- but pay attention and find out for
yourself, before live music in Houston dies a painful death.

    If your neighborhood has a community association, let them know
that you support an urban mix that includes clubs.  Register to vote,
and sign the petition circulating to force any zoning plan to a
citywide referendum.

The Public News is good, but a bit too obsessed by the "alternative" end
of things.   (Things like "we're going to print stuff to gross out the
mainstream just because we can")  They also tend to favor the harder "grunge"
type bands, only occasionally covering the comings and goings of the rock
outfits.   The Missiles hit it right on the head with their song "I don't
get no respect from the public news".

I actually prefer the "Music News", which would be perfect if it were a 
bi-weekly rather then a monthly.   (ie: lots of "TBA's" in the schedules they
print)

Of course, the best way to keep up with your fave bands is to get on their
mailing list  (assuming they have one)...

Well, I have no idea as to how well they cover the scene, but Public News
always has a lot of info on the local scene.

Does anyone know the schedule for Beans Barton & the Bi-Ped's new show,
Kitchens of the Karankawa's II --- Blue Flame? I want to know where and when
I might catch it.

Also, what's the final word on Zsu Zsu's Petals? Did they break up? Are they
still going to tour Hot Cup 'O Joe in the Spring?
