TONIGHT Geoffrey Castle solo CD and Video release Party! Where: At the Triple Door tripledoor.net When: Thursday May 18th Starts at 7:30pm Tickets: Purchase on-line at thetripledoor.net We just got back from the show. It was very quirky, very creative, and a blast. It was like being in Geoffrey's living room after partying with him for the last day or two. It was not a polished show, but it was amazing. He was just creating and trying things off the top of his head,,,and he was out there. he started off by playing old Teleman violin duets...he played both parts. he went on to play Miles Davis, The Temptations, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...ZZ Top...he was really experimenting with synthesizers and sound loops. He had the violin sounding like a lead guitar, organ, pedal steel.... for the encore...lasers painted an american flag across the stage, and Geoffrey came out in a huge red white and blue, funky hat and played the Star Spangled Banner a la Jimi hendrix...on the violin, it was unbelievable. My bike is packed, 6am, I am outta here. I live for this, I love it so much. ps...very cool to see COTR will be in town for you and yer pals to see. Let me know if Kath needs any email addresses for the band.

Got this as one of those chain e-mails... Loaded with lots of fun facts. ----------------------- If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)! (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour (Don't try this at home, maybe at work) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!") The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)
