| Hi again.
For those of you who are planning to go to the Pirate Festival, our schedule had a change. The Seadogs will be performing:
11:45 on the main stage
3:00 on the “pub” stage
(As well as throughout the day in our own area when we feel like it.) It’s the same schedule both days. | comments: Leave a comment   |

Hi everyone!
Don’t forget that the Northern California Pirate Festival is this weekend!
The festival is FREE and it’s held on the Vallejo waterfront, just next to the ferry building. We’re open Saturday from 10am to dusk and Sunday 10am to 6pm.
For more information you can visit the official web site at: http://www.norcalpiratefestival.com/
My group, The Seadogs, will be performing at 11:45a on the main stage and 3:00 on the pub stage, as well as "whenever we please" times a day in our own “environmental” area. Let me know if you think you’re coming so I can keep an eye out for you. Feel free to forward this email to other people that might be interested, too. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Help me, Intarwub:
I have a wee Mac powerbook G4 running 10.4.11. In anticipation of getting iPhones soon, I am trying to switch from my habitual Entourage to the default Mail program to read my mail on 7thsign.
For those who don't know, 7thsign is a FreeBSD 7.1 machine and I'm using IMAP to get my mail. I do NOT want to use POP. I can see both my "tart" and "izzy" accounts. And Mail works great - except for one small thing:
Mail wants to display ALL of the folders in my account on 7thsign. All of them. From frakkin DOT files to public_html. So every time I connect to 7thsign a few frustrations happen:
1. Mail asks me if I want to trust the Certificate for 7thsign. Every time. Twice - once for each account. I can find nowhere to promise to Mail that I really do trust 7thsign and please don't ask me again.
2. Mail takes forever to load, as it checks roughly 12 years of folders and sub-folders on the server to determine if there are any new messages in them.
3. Mail helpfully informs me that I have roughly 11,404 unread messages in these folders.
I can't find anywhere in Mail to:
a) tell it to trust 7thsign.com's Certificate. Forever
b) tell it to NOT look to all the other folders in my UNIX account on the server - just check for mail.
I didn't have these problems with Entourage and I'm stumped. I can't seem to find where to tell Mail to resolve these two issues.
Help?
Thanks in advance, Holy Hive Mind of the Intarwubs.

| Dear Dave Ponkey,
May you finally be at peace. Your memory is an incredible blessing, for so so many children (young and old).

| From MikeCarey.net :
Mike and upcoming Vertigo monthly The Unwritten co-creator/artist Peter Gross just had a chat with Sequential Tart’s Adrienne Rappaport you don’t want to miss.
Adrienne’s been following Mike and Peter from their creative beginnings (all the way back to Peter’s Books of Magic days) and strikes up a lively - and at times slightly intimate - dialogue. (Warning, there’s even a rapturous bath scene!)
Click here for the rap session, which ranges from maps to magic trumpets and Jungian archetypes to The Da Vinci Code.
That was nice of them to say.
Doesn't it make you want to read the interview? | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| We thought we would run over to the mall tonight, and treat ourselves to Skewers in the food court. The mall is just the other side of the freeway from us; maybe a five minute car ride.
On the way past the Civic Center, we see two police cars and a motorcycle cop corralling a pickup in a poorly lit gravel parking lot. The driver is out, hands in the sky over his head.
At the mall, Mervyn's has the lights on but no one is home. Two more cop cars parked at the front entrance, empty.
We walk inside and half the stores from the door to the food court are closed. Payless is gone. Mervyn's is gone. The fro-yo place is gone. Skewers is gone. Wait ... what about dinner?
So we decided to go across the street to High Tech Burrito.
Where we discover that Chili's, which was next door to HTB and plagued us with its drunk yuppies and annoying outdoor music and constant busy-ness on week nights, is completely gone. Gone. It was there just the other day and now it's an empty husk.
It feels like the Apocalypse. Or at least that we should expect zombies next. It's depressing in a very concrete way. | | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment |
| Dear Ms. Cindy Dutra,
Since those Russian hussies broke your heart, I offer you Girls' Generation singing "Gee"
I learned about them from fourfour who wrote, "There are nine (nine!) young Korean girls in Girls' Generation. They're more a cheerleading squad than a girl group! If you want further proof of that, check out this clip of them performing the song live. They boggle the mind like sugar shock."
Please do not lose your day to youtube as a consequence. | | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment |
| Anyone know when SDCC hotel rooms go on sale?
SDCC hotel rooms went on sale in early February last year.

| For those of you who weren’t here last fall, and/or who live under a rock in regards to what I do with all my copious spare "holiday" season, I work (and mostly sing) at the Great Dickens Christmas Fair.
The Fair is held at the Cow Palace and runs for four weekends, including the Friday after Thanksgiving. That’s Fri. Nov. 28 through Sun. Dec. 21st.
If you are interested in going, I can get discount tickets for $15 each. That’s $7 off the regular price. I can leave them at Will-Call for you, or buy them in advance the weekend before and get them to you somehow.
What is the Dickens Fair? Here’s the official ‘schpiel’ from the people who produce the event:
Visit London in San Francisco! Join us for the 30th Anniversary of the Great Dickens Christmas Fair filling over 100,000 square feet of the Historic Cow Palace Exhibition Halls! The only event of its kind in the world, the fair is a holiday adventure into the pubs, dance parties and Christmas shops of Victorian London. Hundreds of costumed players invite you into a twilight evening in Charles Dickens¹ London Town, a city filled with lively and colorful characters from both literature and history. Enticing aromas of roasted chestnuts and hearty foods fill the air. Cries of street vendors hawking their wares ring out above the bustling crowd. Over 100 lamp lit shops are filled to overflowing with Christmas presents. It's the perfect holiday escape!
Visit: http://www.dickensfair.com for fantastic photos, discount tickets and information.
If you would like more information from me, or have questions, email me directly and we can talk.
Come visit! | | comments: Leave a comment |

(my grandfather (left) shaking hands with FDR)
I was just talking to my Da.
And he was talking about how, earlier today, he was downstairs, looking at the poster on the wall from '68, when he was fighting for equal rights for people of color in New York.
And about how he remembers, when he was 10, the only black man who would visit his neighborhood was coming to their house, to talk to my grandfather about fighting for equal rights in banking - because banks wouldn't give loans to black people.
My grandfather would be stunned.
My father is stunned.
And I am stunned.
"stunned" in only the best, most amazing of ways, than can not be expressed in type.
This is an amazing moment. | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |
