Pre-weekend Weekend Lunch Invite 76. Why the Long Face?
Remember from last week that Weird Al will be at Tags (Route 352, Big Flats, N.Y.) on July 8. Tickets are $24 in advance. Also note that The Photography of Alfred Stieglitz: Georgia O'Keeffe's Enduring Legacy continues at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.)
Second, if you haven't heard, Scott McLaughlin will be throwing the first pitch this year at Frontier field on Saturday. He's the police officer who was run down in January by a moron (charged with first-degree assault and driving without a license by the way.) I'm half tempted to get a ticket just to be there for that even though I could entirely do without the ball game to follow.
Oh yeah, and I changed the page colors and added some advertising.

First, White Cotton Panties, Peechee Neacheys (or Peachy Nietzsches or Peachy Neachies or however the heck they're spelling their name this week) and Powered by Satan will be at The Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave.) I'll try to get to the Bug Jar too, but first on my list is Reefer Madness (67 minutes) followed by Sex Madness (52 minutes) at The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) Tonight at Monty's Krown (875 Monroe Ave.) is Ned Pepper. I have a generally positive view of them even though I can't remember for the life of me what they're like. In the mean time, Milestones (170 East Ave.) is again hosting Freetime Magazine's Most Popular Band Contest with Dogmah versus High Voltage. |

[Poll Archives] John Montgomery's Creep of the Week The Central Park Groping Gangs CNN Almanac: 2000-June-22 Internet Movie Database On this day ... June 22 Link of the Week: GIF Wizard Let's assume for a minute that you have a web page and you'd like to compress those images a bit smaller but don't really have the tools. GIF Wizard is pretty cool in that you can look at your whole site or just a few images and optimize the heck out of the compression. Although they're primarily for GIF files, they can also handle a couple different formats as well (JPEG, BMP, TIFF, I think) and at least let you tweak the JPEG compression a bit. Advertising: You buy optimizations from GIF Wizard, I get some for free.
