    I just returned from Las Vegas where I had the opportunity to see “O”, “Mystere”, Lance Burton, Charlie Frye, Amazing Jonathan and Ronn Lucas. It was especially nice because all of them were comp’d because I either knew the artist or someone in the show. They were all great acts but to be honest, not a single act could ever compare to Gazzo before he had his stroke. Even now that he is old, bald, fat and retarded, he is still the best street magician I’ve ever seen, next to Johnny Fox, Jim Cellini, Nick Nicholas, Steve Trash, Peter Gross and Paul Nathan.

        This is not true! I just saw Gazzo and for the record, he grew his hair back.

        He was working in the Sprint store here in Harvard Square. I said, "Gazzo what the fuck are you doing working here?"

        He smiled, blinked a couple of times, and said, "They didn't have an opening at the pie shop."

        What is the world coming to?

        Best,

        Dan-

          crunch!

          The two implied magicians in Butman's post were of course Sonny and Jerry "*-Mr. Magic-*" Salizar.

          If you feel like going back to the NV, Daniel Rosen is doing price is right live in Reno.

          My spare time:
          I watch movies,
          Watch live music
          Read instructional books
          Cook
          I visit pnet and yayhooray.com to help people and have flame wars
          Buy new stuff for my computer. Dual 1gig G4 with 2Gigs Ram, 4 harddrives, radeon 9800 pro, flatscreen studio display Dolby 2.0 semi surround sound.

          I justify everything by saying it's some form of work on my projects or my future projects. I can't just relax or I get bored.

              All I do when I have free time is beatbox, fairly simple. I love to draw also, and I will scan my latest creation when Im done and put it in a thread. But I work out also, so how can I beatbox with al my free time you ask. Simple, you can beatbox and do anything you want to , draw, workout, everything that includes work, makes my life a blessing.

                  Can you spare time?

                  Walk around the city I happen to be in to see the sights. Drool over unattainable women. Give and get beatings in Yahoo´s chess rooms. Read and write mails. See films in the cinema. Meet my friends in the Gallego bar for dinner and post-food binge. Read books/newspapers/writings on walls. And so forth, and so on.

                    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow...

                    You're always a day away...

                    I love procrastinating. The longer, the better. One of these days I'm going to ask Salma Hayek out for drinks, dinner & some really hot up-against-the-wall sex. I just keep putting it off. She can wait. I'm in no hurry.

                      What exactly is an "unattainable woman?" Someone who's dead? Or Someone who thinks and therefore can't be possessed.

                      If you see women as some sort of challenge to conguer, like everest, then I'm afraid that most of them over the age of 17 will be out of your reach intellectually and emotionally.

                      If you see them as fellow human beings to engage in social intercourse with, and you aren't just out to have sex with them, you'll be surprised at just how rewarding they are....

                      Have self confidence. There is no such thing as an unattainable woman. There are however, loads of women that you won't ever be able to screw, which is slightly different.

                        I aslo like to expand my vocabulary. Whenever I hear a word I don't know I look it up in the dictionary. I also look up synonyms when I can't quite express myself.

                          There is this theory that the greatest comedy comes as a result of pedantism, it is just taken a few stages further.

                            I like to read a dictionary during "down time." It's a great book. Not much of a plot, but it explains all the long words as it goes along.

                              video games. I'm a nintendo guy myself, so I've got my DS, but the PSP is AMAZING. Can't wait for November when the new Legend of Zelda comes out. Video poker is good fun too.
