A few years ago, I noticed all the serving people at the two M.C.'s I
patronized were female and the bussers were male.  I inquired of the
management as to the cause of this and was told that no females ever
applied for bussing positions and no males ever applied for serving
positions.  Isn't that interesting?

I stopped eating at Marie Callenders after getting food poisoning twice,
from bad shrimp.  Also, poor service, small portions, and use of excessive
cheese to cover up mediocre quality.  This wasn't unexpected; it happenned
shortly after the chain was bought by a big company.

Relevance: questionable.  After all, it was several years ago.

			**AIDS GROVE SF***


WHAT IS IT?
This is a lovely place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, which
has been set aside as a remembrance for all those who are coping with
AIDS or who have died from it. It is an area that is currently being
reclaimed and beautified for all to enjoy.

WHAT'S UP?
Once or twice a month, volunteers get together and do the garden thang,
wherein we all get together and work to make the Grove a beautiful place.
Its a great way to remember our friends and make new friends. You don't
have to be gay, you can be a friend of the family (like me) :-). It
gives me a chance to think about my friends and at the end of the workday,
we hold hands in a circle and speak about them. 

WHERE IS IT?
Its in Golden Gate Park (silly!) near the Bowling Green and the tennis
courts.

     -not to scale-

WHEN IS IT?

January 9th from 9AM to 3PM. 

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Planting trees. Macy's gave them their live Christmas trees. Let me
tell you, planting trees is the best. You can remember where "your"
tree was and go back later and tell people, "Hey I planted that sucker!"
Just think. Something you planted will be there over 100 years from now.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Bring appropriate grunge garden gear. Slopes can be slippery. Bring
your lunch, leather gloves (if you got 'em), and warm enough clothes.


I made other plans this time around, but there are netters who show
up and it would be a blast if more netters did the same.

I just saw Tim Miller's latest performance work, sex/love/stories, at the 
wonderful Josie's Caberet and Juice Joint in San Francisco.  It will be 
performed again in San Francisco next Wednesday through Sunday.  Call
415/861-7933.  Those of you who live in the Bay Area and don't know where
Josie's is will have their queer cards revoked shortly, but for any
visitors who may be coming into town, it's at 3583 16th (near Market and
Noe and the AIDS Garden). 

Don't go if you're shocked by nudity or profanity. 

This show or another of Tim's shows will play or will have played (the
program isn't clear on this) in San Francisco, London, Minneapolis, St.
Louis, Philadelphia, San Diego, Boston, Chicago, Australia, and New York
City during 1992/1993. 

The subject line of this article, by the way, is used near the end of the
piece, a bit more literally perhaps than in the poem from which it is taken.
I wonder what percentage of our readers have heard it; I'd guess 80 or 9-
percent.

Next up at Josie's Cabaret and Juice Joint, 3583 16th Street, San
Francisco: 

"Jew Meat", described as 

   a hot, steamy journey through the nightmare of history in which three 
   Jewish queer men explore being twice blessed and cursed.  What it's like 
   to be historical vessels for society's dark side, and how to dive into 
   that cosmic body stew for personal/collective power. 

Wednesday-Sunday, January 20-31, 8pm.  One of those nights is a fundraiser
for a local synagogue, but I don't know which.  Tcikets are $10, except
maybe the fundraider night.  Call 415/861-7933 for reservations. 

One of the three people in the show is the boyfriend of Tim Miller, by the
way.  I have the impression from the flyer that you will get to see quite a
lot of all three actors.

Hi,
I am considering a move to Half Moon Bay, and
would like to find out if any other Lesbians
and Gay men live in the area. Can you share
your experiences with me? 

Are your neighbors friendly? Are there gay pockets
in any district? What part of Half Moon Bay
do you live in? (Montara,Moss Beach, El Granada?)

Whats the weather like in your area?

I would like to find what it is like to
commute from that area.

Does anyone commute from the Half Moon Bay Area
(Montara especially) to San Francisco? How
long does it take you?
Are there van pools available? Where do they
begin and end?

What route has worked best for you? I know one can take
highway 92, but there looks like there is another
route available exiting at Pacifica.

Thank-you for sharing your experiences with me.
Please email to me directly at

viviana@tamri.com

Thanks!

Ferderal regulations not withstanding, the cable company is still certainly
monopoly and one that must deal with local governments in such a way as to be
effectively regulated by them.  The recent bill simply gave the latter more

   Actually the DeBeers cartel controls the SOURCES of gem

   One of the few instances where a private company's monopoly on

Has anyone else considered this? What are the downfalls (besides
initial price?).

There is a woman who has taken on the phone and cable companies.  She
had been on the Michael Krazney program several times (before KGO dumped
him - that's another gripe of mine). I think her name is Silvia
