More internet posts that won't die.

Another blast from the internet past. I was searching my old e-mail address and found this post that I posted to rec.music.makers.percussion on April 2, 1995.

Drummer wanted for moody alternative band in NYC.
Must be able to play 3/4 and 6/8 as well as 4/4.
Must show up!

The "Must show up" part of the ad is the hardest qualification to fill.

I don't remember if anyone responded to the internet post but we ended up going with some guy we already knew. I also remember an awful day of interviewing drummers from an ad we placed in the Village Voice. One drummer "Zebra" was so drugged up that he fell off his stool. Ah.... fun times. We saw Zebra again about a year later when he was playing drums in a band that went on before us at a place called Sun Mountain in the Village. To bad I threw out his business card.

Do Not Call ..... Again

Something I didn't know (or remember). When you register for the "Do Not Call List" (i.e. the list that stops telemarketers from calling you), the registration is not permanent. We've been getting some telemarketer calls recently and I went to double check. They sent me the following e-mail.

Your phone number with the last four digits xxxx was registered in the National Do Not Call Registry on 6/29/2003. Most telemarketers will be required to stop calling you 31 days from your registration date. Your registration will (or did) expire on 6/30/2008.

So my phone number doesn't expire till next year but a good thing to remember.

You can check when your registration is about to expire here. www.donotcall.gov

Apparently the telemarketers calling me are on the exempt list, meaning they can just ignore the Do Not Call List.

Mmm.. plastic shavings.

Do you remember a time when your grandmother baked fresh whole wheat bread with the little bits of brown melted plastic baked right in? No? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Spoke to Pepperidge Farm on the phone, they want me to send them a frozen slice and they're sending me coupons. Right now I'm waiting for "materials" in the mail.

Video Glitch of the Day

In addition to the number of the day and the letter of the day, there is one other constant on sesame street.

Out for a late night carrot juice. Part of the 700 Bunnies Project which is a subset of the 700 Things Project which is an off shoot of the 700 Hoboes project. You get the idea.
