According to OKCupid I'm pretty damn libertarian. Which works out since the Libertarian party in the US isn't and I've yet to agree to the idea of aligning myself to a political party (other than when I was a less-informed youngin who bought Democratic ideology).

So I was about to buy tickets for Gogol Bordello as per this entry here when I looked at the venue calendar and saw that it is for 2 days!
Would anyone have an easier time coming out to Saturday, May 23 than Friday, May 22?
Let me know which day is better for interested folks.

Okay so these two guys went for a walk. And they met this crazy hippie. The hippie said he was a guru and that he wanted to make them his pupils. The hippy was pretty disheveled which put them off.
One guy asked the hippie, "What do you have to show us? Why should we believe what you say?"
The guru said, "I will show you a great technology I have created to cure a common ailment. I will buy you both dinner and we can get to know each other"
The guys pondered this for a bit and decided that a free dinner couldn't be so bad. They went and ate at a local restaurant and talked about various ideas. The men realized that the guru was very intelligent and started to trust him a bit. He convinced the men to go to his apartment and see the great technological feat.
They arrived at the man's apartment and he took them to a room with a very large machine and a big platform. The room smelled of burnt artificial materials, although it was hard to place exactly what kind. The man went to a small computer that appeared to be very old and running some sort of UNIX system. He typed in a few commands and the machine lit up beautifully. Glowing tubes and LED's galore. The man turned off the light in the room and all that could be seen was the pleasant colors of the machine's luminescent parts and the glow of the old monitor screen.
The man asked them too step onto the platform and take a closer look. They hesitated and he simply sat stoically and patiently. They mumbled to each other and then gradually got onto the platform, like cats slinking towards a new guest in their home.
The man started clacking away at the keyboard and the machine started to hum like a loud generator. There was an incredible and searing flash of light.
On the platform the two men had disappeared! All that could be found were two contact lenses of different color. The men came and bent over to pick the lenses up. He took off his glasses and then put the lenses in his eyes.
He could see perfectly now! He was overjoyed and yelled, "I told you I would make you my pupils!"

The End.

Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Cher, someone I'm forgetting. Apparently when you get older you make more youthful pop. I can't wait to see what Britney Spears will produce in 20 years.

Did you know that Ancient Greek statues were typically painted?

Also, has anyone ever noticed that a public utilities building in SF looks like a classical monument?

It apparently looks cool enough from the side too.
