JayceLand's Weekly Rochester Events #105: Oliver's Trimmer Patent Two
For Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I have a little activity for you all.
Review Dr. King's speeches through the links to the
Afro-American Almanac
in the survey to the right and pick what you feel is his most inspirational work.
Oh, and don't just pick "I Have a Dream" because that's the only
one you know!
In the past week I set up an actual paid advertisement for this page
through
Google's
AdWords.
Basically, if you go to Google and search for stuff relating to Rochester,
you might see the little banner-like thingy such as the one to the right.
I put in $30 for 2,000 impressions and weeded down the keywords so I only get
a few per day. Hopefully, though, I'll be hitting the people who could most
use the page. Because I did so, I put a "Related Links" section
in the right column to other useful event-related sites.
And finally, the least substantial footnote of all: I didn't even notice, but
last week's update was #104 on 1/04. Woo hoo. That won't happen again until
#324 on March 24, 2005 (don't ask).
No, wait, I have an even less substantial footnote. I saw the advertisement you see
to the right in
Freetime Magazine
for The Blue Room
(293 Alexander St.)
and thought it was funny enough to include here.

- Antitrust -
The ficticious Gilbert Bates, III owns a software company that is threatened by anti-trust litigation.
Ok, so the guy is really called Gary Winston, but who's kidding who, eh?
- Thirteen Days -
Angered by the inappropriate use of their cigars, Cuba decides to fight back.
- Double Take -
Kate and Allison are a couple twins from Des Moines ... er ... New York City.
Comedy ensues.
- Save the Last Dance -
Even though white men can't jump, one white woman can dance. Now you only need nine more things to hate about her.
- Kids World -
A boy wishes that a movie be created that kids will love but will make parents disappear.
- O Brother, Where Art Thou? -

Dinner as always at
California Rollin'
at
Village Gate Square
(274 N. Goodman St.)
This week's specials, straight from the mailing list's mouth are:
- SPARKY Roll consisting of tempura shrimp, hot sauce, honey mustard with eel sauce, drizzled on top...
- PHAT TUESDAY Roll consisting of crawdads, hot sauce, avocado with garlic ...
- HAMACHI MACHI Roll ...consisting of yellow tail, scallions and lemon (What, no hot sauce on this one?)...
Definition of juxtaposition:
Ruby Shooz
at the brand new
Velocity Nightclub
(123 Liberty Pole Way, which used to be Club Marcella).
It would be kinda nifty if they did the oldies thing
regularly, but it would really tear at the fiber of all that is real and good.
The
Dryden Theater
at
George Eastman House
(900 East Ave.)
will be showing the "best" of their Movies on a Shoestring, an independent film
festival in the spring.
I have this feeling this week's
Downtown Alive at Five
at
The Centers at High Falls
(60 Brown's Race)
will be the place to be. If I need a fallback option *sigh* I might just go.
Karaoke with Sugar Bear at
Boston Brew Company
(251 Exchange Blvd.)

O'Bagelo's,
165 State Street,
noon.
The Grinders
with
Dead Blue Hand
will be at
Monty's Krown
(875 Monroe Ave.)
starting around 10:30. There's a $2 cover. I'm betting this will be a really good show.
Richmonds
(21 Richmond St.)
has
Butterscotch
with
South Central
starting around 10.
I seem to remember South Central as being pretty good.
Three Flights Up
will be at their favorite venue,
Fat Moe's
(4419 Dewey Ave.)
I missed them just before New Year's because I was sick with the flu.
Among many good bets tonight is the really good
Astronomical Unit
at
Acme Bar & Pizza
(495 Monroe Ave)
tonight. I've never even been there (unless I did at 3 a.m. when I was really drunk and just didn't remember) so I
don't know how when they start.
