- ALWAYS call before going to a listed event.
- X-Men is an AWESOME action (boy) movie! Konflict at Big Wig was wicked
as promised (HI everybody) and Red Bull and Absolut is my new favorite
drink. Bliss (art by couples) at Insider Art and Steve Diet Goedde
(fetish photos) at Feitigo were both small but interesting. American
Science and Surplus Center I AGAIN SAY is the most wonderful store in
town. The Spy Shop's proprietor is notably brusque, paranoid, and
twitchy, but reasonably so considering the people he must see, selling
bugs, fake ID, and fart inducing drugs to begin with. League Of
Gentlemen is a DEEPLY strange show, more disturbing even that
SouthPark's recent adventures in Satan's love life. The Farmers
Markets are a joy, but Taste Of Lincoln was an obstruction to traffic.
Five lucky people won Brew&View passes for two, the Airshow is coming,
and our very own SuperJane is going on a national tour!
I'm still looking for subject editors for art, sports, theatre, fests,
rock/pop/swing/blues, classical music/dance, biking/jogging, other. If
