So I'm going to see elvin Bishop Friday night. I had a single ticket in the 35th row for Kenny Wayne Shepard and Page/Crows for a week from tonight but I sold it to a friend. I love Page but I don't like Zeppelin music enough to sit through alone. I'll have no trouble sitting through Fogerty/DR John/Aaron Neville myself though. I do have friends goingto both shows. So I wouldn't be totally alone. Jone Beach's ticketing is really screwed up so we often go for singles.It's usually the only way to get good seats for high demand shows.

Monday July 3 9:47 AM ET Web Footed Dogs Join Baseball Team dailynews.yahoo.com SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - They're already being called the dogs of summer. The San Francisco Giants baseball team, which this year unveiled a sparkling new Pacific Bell Park stadium directly on San Francisco Bay, is getting ready to induct a squad of canine retrievers to dive after wayward balls. Five web-footed Portuguese water dogs -- officially known as the Baseball Aquatic Retrieval Korps (BARK) -- will plunge from their own special boat into the icy waters of the bay to fetch any homeruns that are slammed out of the park. ``America's favorite pastime meets man's best friend,'' Don Novello, who came up with the BARK idea, told Friday's San Francisco Chronicle. The water dogs, which resemble poodles, have webbed paws and use their tails as rudders in the water, are known as exceptional swimmers and were once used by Portuguese fishermen to herd schools of fish, carry messages between boats and snare lost lines. Novello, who once played Father Guido Sarducci on ``Saturday Night Live'', will introduce the dogs Saturday at a pregame ceremony. They are expected to perform at all Saturday day games as well as games on the Fourth of July and Labor Day, chasing fly balls from batting practice and the handful of homeruns that are hit into the bay, team officials said.

EP, Real Things Heard in US Courtrooms - Lawyer: How do you feel about defense attorneys? Juror: I think they should all be drowned at birth. Lawyer: Well, then, you are obviously biased for the prosecution. Juror: That's not true. I think prosecutors should be drowned at birth, too. Judge: Is there any reason you could not serve as a juror in this case? Juror: I don't want to be away from my job that long. Judge: Can't they do without you at work? Juror: Yes, but I don't want them to know it. Defendant: Judge, I want you to appoint me another lawyer. Judge: And why is that? Defendant: Because the Public Defender isn't interested in my case. Judge (to Public Defender): Do you have any comments on the defendant's motion? Public Defender: I'm sorry, Your Honour. I wasn't listening. Judge: You are charged with habitual drunkeness. Have you anything to say in your defense? Defendant: Habitual thirstiness? From a defendant representing himself... Defendant: Did you get a good look at me when I stole your purse? Victim: Yes, I saw you clearly. You are the one who stole my purse. Defendant: I should have shot you while I had the chance. Judge: The charge here is theft of frozen chickens. Are you the defendant? Defendant: No, sir, I'm the guy who stole the chickens. And finally.... Judge: I know you, don't I? Defendant: Uh, yes. Judge: All right, tell me, how do I know you? Defendant: Judge, do I have to tell you? Judge: Of course, you might be obstructing justice not to tell me. Defendant: Okay. I was your bookie.
