I have two regular stores - which one I go to depends on my mood.

There are a few stores in the Boston area. I have a pull list at one and that is the one I go to. I'll occassionally pop into the the others if I am looking for a Trade paperback or a back issue.

I like Boston a lot. Used to go there on business frequently and of course always passed through on my way to Provincetown.

I've only gone to P-town a couple of times but just as day trips. It is nice down there and I probably would enjoy an extended stay there.
One time it was to take some friends visiting from Scotland. They were blown away by the openness there.

Tea dance at the Boatslip. I haven't been there since the early 90's.

I've led a sheltered life, I guess. Never been to Provincetown.

Barry Manilow use to play the piano for Bette Midler when she sang at the Continental Baths in New York City.
For those who don't know, the Continental Baths was one of the bathhouses where men used to go to "meet" other men.

Elephants never forget! But then again, elephants don't drink... Actually, elephants *do* drink. It's a problem in some places where they make a type of alcoholic beverage (rice wine or something). The elephants love the stuff so much that they will stampede through villages, trampling any people or structures in their path, to get to the booze and suck it down. And now for something completely different: http://members.wnonline.net/sjohnston/missileguidance.html (if you can get the sound file to load it is worth listening to).

Hmm, I don't think we carry rice wine at SHAKES. Probably a good thing!

The I Spy movie wasn't as good as the TV show.

Usually when they make a movie from a tv show, it's not very good. However, I did enjoy the Lost in Space Movie. Did you hear, btw, that Fox has commmissioned a pilot for a new Lost in Space series. Apparently, there will be no Doctor Smith character. Although this might be heresey to some of you, I say great - I hated the Doctor Smith character with a passion. I watched that show in its first run as a kid, and I hated how that simpering coward became the focal point of the series. (Is this a bit too much for the off topic thread?)
