Kylie "Boombox" CD Release Party @ Omega Feb. 14th

There will be another Kylie Minogue Boombox CD release party on Saturday, February 14 at Omega at 2122 P Street, NW DC (Rear - tee hee!). VJ Tre will be playing the popular mashup "Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head," and my favorite from the remix album, a Chemical Brothers remix of "Slow."

Don't wanna rush it,
let the rhythm pull you in.
It's here so touch it.

And this coming Saturday is another Blowoff at the 9:30 Club. I hope I'm up for it as I seem to be coming down with something tiring and achey. With all the crap goin' around who knows if it's a cold or a flu. Luckily I got my flu shot this fall so it might be an attenuated version that I picked up.

If you are at all squeamish over the creepy-crawly, whatever you do - don't read this week's City Paper cover story about bedbugs.

Students attending Mazomanie high school in Wisconsin may face restrictions on how they commute to school. Students at this high school have opted for a snowmobile commute that may face a review from their school board.

And in other cold climate news, Alaska's Mount Redoubt may blow soon. Check out this fun page for current status on this volcano that is just north of the Cook Inlet. She is described as being "..composed of intercalated pyroclastic deposits and lava flows and rests on Mesozoic granitic rocks of the Alaska-Aleutian Range batholith." Got it? During the two summers I worked on the Kenai Peninsula, you could see the chain of volcanoes across the inlet on a clear day. Redoubt usually steams every day, but she's been quiet and bloated lately. I often feel the same way just before a big dump.
