- a long time ago a friend of mine told me the following story,
- and claimed that it actually happened. personally, i'm not sure
- if it's apocryphal or not:
-
- he was waiting in the check-out line at Fred Meyer's, and the
- woman ahead of him was buying a case of Tampax. the case didn't
- have a price marked on it so the clerk called out over the
- intercom for a price check. the guy in the back room must have
- misunderstood him, and thought that he'd asked for a price check
- on 'thumbtacks' instead of 'Tampax.' so he calls back on the
- intercom "Are those the kind you push in with your thumb, or the
- kind you pound in with a hammer?"

- ODC: in reference to recent remarks about overcrowding at Oakland
- Coliseum shows...i've noticed that for the last year or so people
- have been getting increasingly territorial about saving seats for
- their friends, who then show up at the last minute. i remember at
- the pre-NYE shows last year there were people scarfing up whole
- rows of seats [or damn near], and putting articles of clothing on
- them to 'reserve' them for friends. i can see saving a seat or
- two for someone who's just slipped out to use the bathroom or
- grab a coke, but i dunno about this business of annexing entire
- neighborhoods for your personal party.
-
- also, at the recent Oakland run i noticed that security inside the
- Coliseum seemed to be entirely Coliseum staff [the folks in the red
- jackets] instead of the regular BGP staff [in the blue and white
- vests]. this is a drag. the BGP folks have a well-deserved reputation
- for being cool with people at Dead shows, whereas the Coliseum staff
- seemed for the most part to be much more like the security at
- non-BGP events, which is to say surly and irritating. anybody have
- info on this?
