Perfect BP invitation
(I was digging through some old documents trying to find my resume for updating and came across this little nugget for a friend's bp 4-5 years ago...)
Dear Friends,
There comes a time for payback, and it is upon us. Raise your hand if you can say yes to this question - has G ever pissed you off? Of course he has, and because we love him and because he's been such a little wanker about this whole thing, he must suffer the very consequences that many of us have suffered in the past at the expense of our friends.
The latest plan for G's Bachelor Party is to meet this Saturday the 26th at R's house at 25XX Wrightsboro Rd at 10:00. Be alert for possible changes in the details. We hope to keep these to a minimum. R's house is next to the State Farm office at the corner of Wrightsboro and Monte Sano. Parking is available in the State Farm parking lot, Gun Cabinet parking lot, or on Raymond and Glenn. You enter R's house from the rear (perfect I know) by walking down the alley between his house and the State Farm office.
R, T, and I will be responsible for getting G there around 10:30. Others will arrange for the "talent". G knows nothing about this and it should stay that way. He's done so much bitching about this that it MUST happen and it MUST be kept from him. As far as he knows, the "guys" are taking him downtown after the little cocktail party for him and his beloved earlier Saturday night.
We are asking that everyone attending the party contribute $20 for the talent and bring with them something to drink that might be shared by all. Other recreationals are optional and at the discretion of the individual.
All our love,
The G N Bachelor Party Committee

Cool Atlanta club from the days of my youth....
688 Club
688 was a popular alternative music venue in Atlanta, Georgia located at 688 Spring Street, near the intersection of Spring and 3rd Streets (just down from The Varsity). The 688 Club opened in May, 1980 and closed in November, 1986.
During its brief lifetime, the 688 played host to hundreds of punk, new wave, and alternative bands - many of whom would later become world famous.
During the early 1980s, the 688 was the primary place for up-and-coming bands from Athens, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgiato get noticed.
Bands that I saw at 688 include:
- Jason & the Nashville Scorchers
- REM
- Gun Club
- Lords of The New Church
- nEON cHRIST
and several others that have been lost tothe grains of time.

It's the law?
The next time someone demands that you disclose private information because
"the law requires it", ask them for a citation to the statute or regulation that requires it.
Ninety-eight percent of them time they will be unable to respond.
Tell them that you will answer when they can give you the citation
(and after you have had a chance to check it).
In a large number of cases, there is no such requirement.
Companies often claim that "the law requires" that you do something that they simply want you to do. And even if the request is made in good faith, it is often the case that someone has misinterpreted a legal requirement somewhere.

It could be one crazy season...
from Today's Augusta Chronicle (via Associated Press):
"Saints:
Reserve Quarterback Adrian McPherson was confined to an exercise bike Monday after being run over by Titans mascot T-Rac during second-half warm-ups of the New Orleans-Tennessee game Saturday night.
The second year player had one MRI and is planning a second to confirm the injury is no worse than a severe bruise of his right knee."

good advice for your (my) next arrest
“I do not believe that you have a legal right to conduct this search and I am not consenting to this search. I will comply with your orders but only under duress."
This in essence protects your legal standing as not consenting to the search but gets you out of the power struggle dynamic with the authority on the scene. You can then aruge the finer points of the law within the legal system and have the ill-gotten evidence thrown out.
