Hi Greg :P
>Finally saw Greyboy live at the Elbo Room Sunday night. Wicked ass

tried to see them when I was in San Fran (re-:P) last week on friday night,
but they sold out before I got to the Elbo Room. It sounded good from the
line outside.
>For those of you in SF- 1) Don't say "San Fran" ;-), 2) *Do* check out DJ

>Room Thur nites, and definitely check out Up&Down Club- upstairs *or*

Actually, when I went to Cafe Mars last wednesday, it was kinda dead but the
dj (I think Paul from On The One) got me on the guest list for 1015 Folsom
(same night) and it was actually pretty good, at least upstairs the
downtempo groove was right on and the crowd very smooth. Had a good time. I
would probably think differently if I went on a week-end...
>I wish I could connect with all the SF scenesters out there- the 330

>and janes like me. But if you ever see a guy with a Honolulu t-shirt, and
>he's about 6'3, looks like he might be part-Chinese (but isn't)- please
>don't be shy and say "The Smoking Goat Experience" and I'll *lose* it, I

well, I'm pleased to announced that one of the companies that interviewed me
last week is flying me back to SF next friday (3/1) for a fourth and last
interview. I'll stay till sunday and definitely wanna hook up this time,
especially friday nite. All of you AJazzers in SF, how about early drinks at
330Rich (never got a chance to go there on my last trip). Saturday (3/2) I'm
definitely planning on going to the jungle night at The Top on Haight, cauz
it was pretty nice last saturday.
