were within yards of my office. Blitzer needed my parking space, so I
watched the proceedings from the comfort of my couch.



Cool. I'd have loved to have spent yesterday evening at the Barking
Spider, taking in the University Circle goings-on. Is it still there?

More telling, I think, was that Darth didn't mention his boss's name once!

As if there was ever any doubt about who is in charge in this

I was wondering how it might have affected you. Were there lots of
guys in dark suits with earphones coming into the library to ask to see
patron records?

Guys in dark suits? Lots. They've been on campus since March, apparently.

I'm not able to confirm or deny if anyone has or has not asked to see your
library record.

HTH,

Indeed, Martin is still serving up suds and good music seven days a week.

It was a crazy busy neighborhood yesterday, and I think the Spider would
have been a good choice for a place to take it all in.

Wow-- name from the past. IIRC, when I was last in Cleveland Martin was
recovering from a bad accident (or was it his girlfriend??-- Defense time
gets a tad fuzzy!)

Nah, that was me, Scott. :-)

I'm not exactly a bar fly, but the Spider is right at the top of my list of
favorite places to have a beer.

Man, I hope things weren't THAT fuzzy-

Hey-- I heard the Euc closed! Is this true?

For those (perhaps all) not in the know, the Euclid Tavern was a great bar,
not far from the unversity. It had the best graffiti in the john that I've
ever seen (for example--"This gum tastes funny" on the condom machine).

Before I got to Cleveland, a Michael J Fox movie was filmed there. Legend
has it that they put a fresh coat of paint over the whole room before
filming started. During filming, on one of the stall doors, somebody wrote
"Michael J Fox smokes butt hairs" and a short time later "Filter tips
only" appeared under the original scrawl, w/ Fox's signature underneath
