"Random Informative Bits" or "The World is a Vampire"

I haven't written in a while.  This email contains lots of info re: 
everything, and is almost a must-read...  :)

Walter:  You'd asked about the safety of Cincinnati's downtown.  The 
Cincinnati O-t-R area isn't the best choice to go for a midnight stroll, 
that's for sure.  It's definitely not worse than many places in downtown 
Detroit, but that's probably not too reassuring.  The areas around 12th-14th 
and Main are a high volume midscale bar area and are completely safe 
(Kaldi's is on there).  Once you get a few blocks away, your car could be in 
danger if there's lots of expensive looking things on the seats.  People are 
pretty safe down there though.  The media loves to manipulate facts; it's 
not like there's a marked increase in random acts of violence down there 
now.  It'll be fun seeing ya again!

The Taft venue for the Cincinnati Christmas show and Uno's afterparty are 
around 5th street, further down, which is as safe as a downtown can be.

As far as Uno's afterwards, it's a few block walk from Taft. Unos is located 
at 627 Walnut, Taft is at 5th & Sycamore.  Use mapquest.com or something if 
you want to preplan and print a little map or something.  I'd recommend 
bringing lots of broken dollars (not $20 bills and credit cards!) to make 
the payment process smoother.

Hey, Uno's is being goofy.  I just called and asked for a reservation there, 
and manager Steve told me basically we'd have to book a package.  I was all 
whiny about having to do that, but once it was described, it sounds groovy.  
They'd have a room for us, and for $12 a person (food, soft drink, tax and 
gratuity included), they'll basically set up a little pizza buffet of their 
4 or 5 most popular pizzas and keep bringing them out 'til we're full.  
Beer/liquor will be handled seperately.  What does anyone think?  Sounds 
rockin' to me.


Michael Cade asked re: different TWHF.  I think there's four of em, 
essentially:

* First edition, which Michael seemed to describe as: "...the cover is sort 
of cream and brown with a brown box around the song list.  It also has the 
Produced by stuff.  On the P&C there is a little arrow with 1990 under it 
like they forgot to put it in and added later.  It also lists a post office 
box and no mention of the booklet."  If I'm not totally off-base, this has a 
vellum cover with no writing on it, right?

* Second edition, which he describes as: "...pretty much all white with 
black writing.  On the back it has the song list, produced by Linford and 
Timothy McAllister and P&C 1991 Scampering songs.  It also
mentions to see booklet for additional info".  This is the "standard" indie 
one with the writing (Over the Rhine TWHF) on it, right?

* Third+Fourth, IRS editions, promo and regular, with the extra art and 
change in songs (live Fly Dance, two added bonus songs at the end)


Drew will forward info re: the morning after brunch/music.


And the tribute CD is finally getting the mastering it deserves.  I'm 
hearing the first CD set tonight, and if approved, the second gets the 
treatment, then production...


Secret destroyer,
Bruce
