3/17    Is the SF rendition of the "Phantom of the Opera" worth
        seeing?  - curious
        \_ For god's sake, it's Andrew Lloyd Webber.  Spend your money
           on some real theatre.
        \_ As long as it's not the understudies. They weren't very good.
        \_ SF's Phantom is not even worth $5 to see. Forget it   -disappointed
        \_ Agreed.  Yet I was the only one who remained seated at the end.
           It was the most wholly undeserved standing O I've ever seen.
           \_ So I'm assuming you're comparing it to some other production,
              say the Broadway version.
           \_ Or the LA version with Michael Crawford
        \_ When they took out the pliers and the blow torch, I said,
           sheeet! They are going medeival on the Phantom and
           and it's gonna get nasty. I left just when the screaming
           started. Worst $1.75 I ever spent.
        \_ Don't bother seeing *anything* in SF.  I have yet to see anything
           that I didn't leave feeling ripped off at any price.  It's a loss
           of time even when the tickets are free.
           \_ Come see my shows.  at least they're cheaper.
              and often we're better.  -- scotsman
           \_ This applies to many a city. What do you expect in SF? Its
              No. 1 industry is tourism.

9/12    Found three old computer-y books. Email me if you want them, don't post
        here, as I don't really check the motd anymore.
                Design Patterns
                (e|E)xtreme Programming (Installed|explained)
        You can pick them up either in SF (Haight) or South Bay (Cupertino).
        It's also great to see that people still don't respect motd write locks

6/25    I'm a newbie trying to learn SF neighborhoods, which seem to be
        a colloqial concept not written down anywhere. Is there a map like
        the following (but higher res) that looks like this?
