He just died - 8th fatality

A great idea for my costume popped into my head yesterday afternoon - but I'm going to try to keep it a secret. . . .and NO it is NOT Alf

this: isn't really the "look" I'm going for, but thanks anyways

I *heart* Halloween a ton but for some reason I have an awful time thinking up costumes. . . Any suggestions? BE NICE! So who's having a party?

So what will be on the slate then? Human Traffic of course. . .Groove? B3773R living? Spaceballs?!?

There, now that we have an OFFICIAL movie night thread let's get back to mine! Any more essential books, movies, cd's?

just wanted to get it on the board. . .continue at will! Saturday matinee sounds fine to me. . .Sat. night is not so good

vicman you're a meanie! Next Friday night?

Awwww not this weekend, I'm out of town! Any other time! Puhleeease?!? tiny - i just meant i like your living room space - I'm not a technophile when it comes to home entertainment electronics either. . One of my fave scenes from Human Traffic:

That's a *great* idea! I know tiny has a pretty sweet set up. Speaking of snowboarding. . . when I was living in Vermont I worked at a fairly big law firm for a while -- one of their clients is Jake Burton. I got to help with his estate planning and such. Let me tell you, that man is richer than GOD! But he deserves it I guess, ol' Jake is a production and marketing genius. . .

What I gathered from my very brief reading of the BuZz board was that Alchemy will be everywhere *except* for the main room, where Tiesto will be. . . who knows if that's right. i'm waiting for direct confirmation from the bigwigs before I get overly excited.

indeed. . .but if you find a way to do it, let me know -- I'd pay for that!

I Know! I've been delaying buying the DVD in hopes that some of that sweet uncut action would make its way over here, but nooooo. *sigh*

Thank you -- I must say that as much as I've tried to remain calm about this thing and not let it influence my daily activities too much, I am quite glad I'm headed out of town for the holiday weekend. Everyone be safe, be smart, and let's hope they catch this sad bastard soon. . .

as your favorite party/club/rave/etc. - related media thingys? I am thinking ahead for Christmas presents and such. . .and to see if anyone has any rare gems I haven't thought of for my own collection. Here are mine: <-- Searching for the Perfect Beat: Flyer Designs of the American Rave Scene, haven't read it yet but it looks sweet

The weekend has landed. All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 48 hours off from the world man. I'm gonna blow steam out of my head like a screaming kettle...

Hmmmm.. . .I like it!

I was thinking on my 10 minute walk to work how much I love days like this - I've never experienced such a hot, sticky, muggy, nasty summer and this past week's weather is welcome with open arms. . . . I have it pretty easy, I sleep til 7:30 or so and take my sweet time getting ready and eating breakfast - I don't have to leave the house 'til ten of 9!

Research baby, research. . .

<lol> Nice one!

Man shot, killed at D.C.-area gas station Virginia police probe sniper link Thursday, October 10, 2002 Posted: 7:37 AM EDT (1137 GMT) A man was shot to death after putting gas into this car at a Sunoco station on Wednesday night. MANASSAS, Virginia (CNN) -- Authorities are investigating whether a fatal shooting Wednesday night at a gas station near Washington is connected to sniper shootings in the area that have claimed six lives. A man was slain at 8:15 p.m. ET after he had finished pumping gas. Surveillance video showed him slumped between a gas pump and his car. Police are looking for a white Dodge Caravan that was spotted leaving the scene. A similar vehicle was mentioned by witnesses at one of the earlier shootings. "At this point we cannot say if this case is related to those other shootings," Prince William County Police Chief Charlie Deane said early Thursday. Authorities are withholding the identity of the latest victim until his family has been notified. "The victim was by himself," Deane said. "He's not a local person." Investigators declined to say where the victim had been hit, or how many times he had been shot. "We don't know where the shot or shots came from," Deane said. Jeff Hintosh, a 19-year-old waiter at a nearby Shoney's, said he and his co-workers heard a single shot and did not see a fleeing vehicle. All the sniper victims so far have been hit with a single shot. Police were looking for an "Asian male" driving a black Honda who was pumping gas near the time of the shooting. Prince William County police spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Chinn called him a witness and made a public appeal for him to contact police. Chinn asked witnesses to the shooting to call police at (703) 792-6500 or Crime Solvers at (800) 673-2777. The Montgomery County, Maryland, Police Department, which is leading the sniper investigation, sent a team of investigators to the scene. Manassas is a suburb of about 35,000 people, southwest of the nation's capital. SUSPECT INFORMATION: Tip line: 888-324-9800 $305,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people involved in the shootings. Reward contribution line: 240-777-8970 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suspect vehicle: White van, possibly an Isuzu or a Mitsubishi, with black lettering on the side.

Sexual or verbal harassment will not be tolerated in any form. We have fostered a "no pressure" environment of like-minded individuals and couples, and wish for it to remain so. The staff of Entre Nous reserves the right to ask any guest to leave at any time, and infractions may result in a permanent ban from the event. This is for your protection and your ease of mind! A Word or Two About Conduct First, let it be said that I think it sucks that I should even have to write this particular page. However, no matter how hard you try to screen them out, there will always exist the cretins, nimrods and low-lifes that make going to clubs less fun than it should otherwise be. A very good discussion of this could once be found online at the Trocadero Club's web site (a very cool club in San Francisco, which has since gone out of business). It's a document dedicated to club going etiquette. This was originally written as a rant by it's author, but it makes valid points that translate well on either coast. As Entre Nous has grown, we have found that there were becoming questions on what was expected and acceptable. · Never touch a woman or man without permission. · Never make sexual comments to any person eg. "Hey baby, nice tits", etc. · Never expose the genitals or breasts (for legal reasons) · Absolutely NO pressure! No means NO! If you persist in sexual advances towards any individual, this will be interpreted as Sexual Harassment, and you will be banned from the club. · ABSOLUTELY NO PHOTOGRAPHY UNLESS AUTHORIZED IN ADVANCE BY TODD or JENNIFER (and the subject to be photographed)! If you have any other suggestions, please let us know about it. Most of these shouldn't have to be spelled out, but...... Most importantly, Entre Nous is against any form of sexual inequality. Please, if terms or activities such as “Lifestyle Couplesâ€, swinging, swapping, threesomes, bisexuality, etc. are offensive to you, then don't come to Entre Nous. Hopefully, that didn't come off sounding too terribly officious. Mostly, we just want a place where anyone can come and feel welcome. If you can contribute to that atmosphere, then we'd love to see you sometime. And, if you know of other groups in your area with similar objectives, we'd love to hear about them too (a fair number of us travel.) Thanks! Todd & Jennifer ENTRE NOUS IS A FEMALE-CENTRIC EVENT! Meaning, women run the show here. We do our best to provide a safe and open environment where couples and women can be free to express themselves and their beliefs. We do not allow male-centered patriarchal nonsense at our club! If you are of the mindset that men should control women, and that men are in some way better than women (and should rule the earth, etc, etc...) Then stay at home and watch TV or go to a club that welcomes unregulated testosterone...

I had to do a nasty ol' project - thank god that's over! Now I'm back and killin time for another hour.. . .blah.
