Chadwick's post reminded me I wanted to ask this. Best concert you've been to?
Jim in Real Time, Derrick, Dan Morrill AKA Techwag and Michael Sauers liked this
Thomas Dolby, Paris, 1984. Al Stewart, Bottom Line, late 90s. Steve Forbert at the Iron Horse (Northampton), every time.
- Stephanie_Happy2010!
so hard for me to pick. I just saw Jonny Lang this summer, and he was amazing. And I may just be sentimental (they are my favorite, no comments from the peanut gallery!), but I just saw Extreme in August, and they were even better than I remember from the 90's.
- holly
Last summer, Warped Tour. Got to be on stage for sets by Flogging Molly and Bad Religion. Hung out with the guys from Flogging Molly (nice bunch) and got to meet Greg Graffin (who I idolized in high school).
- David Rothman (☤)
Outdoor show with the Moody Blues backed up by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra comes to mind.
- Michael Sauers
from twhirl
Carlos Santana - Riverbend in OH. A thunderstorm was brewing and we had pavilion seating. Rusted Root and King Crimson had opened. Santana was about to take the stage and a rolled up, huge backdrop had been put into place. The band took the stage. Santana walked out, played the first chord and the beautiful canvas, adorned with a mandala like pattern using Catholic and Mayan imagery, dropped. At the exact same moment The clouds burst and it POURED. Simply magical.
- Rev. Dr. W!cKeD Rock
Tool:Ybor City in an old theatre (totally rocking, mosh pit action, hint of danger etc...)
- JSNFLMNG
Then there was the time where all the women were flashing the crowd and a few strippers started making out right before Metallica came on in Louisville. That was a good concert too....
- Rev. Dr. W!cKeD Rock
24/7 Spyz, P-Funk All stars, Parliment/Funkadelic NYC - New Ritz (former Studio 54), very early 90's First note at 9:15 pm last note at 3 something am. Damn.
- ♫Geek in the 410♫
David Byrne at Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas, 2002.
- josh neff, geek at large
Margaret Cho & Kathy Griffin....comedians count, right?
- Cliff
Minutemen at Mabel's, Champaign, Il May Day 1983 or 84
- Rochelle Rochelle
Fugazi at Maxwells, Hoboken, New Jersey, 1988.
- Stephen Francoeur
Joe Jackson, Heaven & Hell tour (1997?) at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia.
- Tombrarian
Replacements at Maxwells, Hoboken, New Jersey, 1989. $5 to get in and the band handed out free beers from the stage!
- Stephen Francoeur
Other best concert/show: Electrafixion (Echo & the Bunnymen side project) at some bar in Raleigh, NC. The sound system sucked, but after the show, I ended up hanging out with Will Sergeant (Bunnymen guitarist) & talking about comics. He was someone I'd idolized for years, and was very nice and easy-going. One of the best nights of my life.
- josh neff, geek at large
Jesus Lizard 1994, Lawrence Kansas. ended up parked out front of the Bottleneck, and was able to pre-party up until showtime......ah the high life.
- royce
Cleveland Orchestra w/Yo-Yo Ma, playing Shostakovich concerto in late 1980's. He broke a string, finished the movement on other 3 strings, then switched cellos with principal cellist to finish concerto. Awesomeness!
- marthalib
Caroliner Rainbow. Houston, TX. 2000?

Dave Matthews Band, fall of 1994, at a bar in New Haven, CT. Green Day, spring 1992, at an abandoned roller rink in Janesville, WI. Gogol Bordello at Ottawa Jazzfest last summer.
- Jenica
Damn. Trying to compete with Stephen or Rochelle or...is that Stephen again? I'll say REM in July of 1984 on the Murmur tour. But I dunno. Saw Rilo Kiley a few months ago and thought they really killed.
- s t e v e
Yeesh, this is hard. New Bad Things at the Cooler in NYC in 1997 is surely the hippest concert I've ever been to; Jonathan Richman and Greg Brown any time either of them plays any venue in my hometown are probably my favorites.
- laura x
Probably the Dar Williams concert at Grinnell. I was with a bunch of my friends and we were singing along. It made me feel warm and fuzzy and good. That was in 2002, I think.
- Laura H.
Fugazi at my college in 1988 and then the band crashed at my house.
- Stephen Francoeur
STEPHEN FRANCOEUR, STOP GIVING COOLER AND COOLER ANSWERS.

Carlos Santana at the Santa Cruz Civic Center in 1989. I was completely sober, danced for 4 hours straight, and might have seen god.
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
Or maybe Ani diFranco at some tiny famous bar in LA in 95.
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
My own seems so lame in comparison to all of these - Paul McCartney in 1990 and 1993.
- LB - all new for '10!
and how could I forget the CSNY earthquake benefit at that famous bar in Santa Cruz in '89? (Michelle Shocked at same bar in 90 was also pretty amazing....
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
Hm, might be Iggy Pop, 2001 or 02. The concert was only an hour long but I was exhausted just watching the guy and didn't feel gypped. My ears rang all day following.
- Jàson Puçkett
Bumping for my more recently added Ffeeps.

This is TOO HARD to answer. So I will just go with a gut response and say Zappa's last tour "The Best Band You Never Heard."
- Martha
Waterboys, Warefield Theatre, San Francisco, three days before the Loma Prieta earthquake.
- Helen Sventitsky
Toss up between Depeche Mode World Violation Tour and Laurie Anderson's Empty Spaces in 1990.

TMBG -1992 Gainesville, FL. I don't remember too much of it, but had a great feeling like it was giant sing-a-long party
- JSNFLMNG
All about eve, glasglow, awesome fun night.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
hard to choose! Gonna have to go with U2 at Yankee Stadium in 1991 or 92. Row 6!
- Jim in Real Time
I saw a Prince show that floored me; the skill of his band's musicianship was incredible. I saw Gnarls Barkley too at the Avalon in Hollywood after the success of Crazy, and Cee-lo's voice is jaw-dropping. Knew him from Goodie Mob and being a rapper, but his voice is amazing.
- Derrick
Rolling Stones Tampa May '99 They played my two favorite stones songs back to back!
- teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
Hm, maybe Iggy Pop 2000. All day at work the following day I was explaining to people why I needed them to speak up a bit.

Testing PortableApps w/Dropbox. Works well w/synced machines but is an issue if on a public station. Still need USB unless syncing Dropbox.
Even if I create a second Dropbox account just for the PortableApps, it is a 90mb sync. Not realistic if I'm on a public computer or a friends computer. Obviously, I can have less in my PortableApps folder (or just settings) but...hmmm.
- Kenley Neufeld
Yeah, I don't use it on public workstations...but then again, I'm not often on public workstations. It's only an elegant solution up to a point.

Jenny Levine liked this
Hm. Indirectly, maybe? I think the LSW has provided support and encouragement for some people in ALA to try to get things moving.
- D0r0th34
There was an echo effect, BIGWIG was doing edgy stuff inside ALA and getting little love for it as LSW happened out in a meebo room. Now, I regularly use LSW as a stalking horse and example of where ALA could head. Gets traction with some folks, less or none with others...
- awd
Thanks y'all. I sent the comments (so far) along, but feel free to add more!
- Cliff
The fact that Jenny has this thread bookmarked is a bit of an answer in itself, right? You'll just have to trust me when I say I don't mean this in a snarky way at all, but the fact that the ALA's Internet Development Specialist & Strategy Guide keeps a friendly eye on the LSW speaks volumes.
- s t e v e
I'll 2nd Aaron's comment below. BIGWIG has been working inside ALA to try and change things, and LSW has been yet another model for things. I would like to see more collaboration (and have some ideas on that front coming up)...
- Jason Griffey
from twhirl
within my library assoc, I don't know that I've ever used it by name or example, but the LSW and its multimodal communication streams are part of what I hold in my mind -- along with the work of BIGWIG, the unconference movement, etc -- when I advocate for a new way to gather our members for meetings, professional development, and networking.
- Jenica
Thanks, Steve. Your check is in the mail! :) Please keep doing what you're doing, LSW.

suelibrarian liked this
Only a few of my coworkers even know what the LSW is, & none of them really have anything to do with it.
- josh neff, geek at large
What Neff said. They don't know and wouldn't care if they did. Perception: well, LSWers are generally good for an outside perspective on my workplace when I need one. That's valuable.
- D0r0th34
Impacted my org, no not really. A couple of folks in MPOW are within it, but as for myself it gives me an idea of how other places run, a place to go for advice, figuring out what is/isn't normal at a library, etc.
- Sir Shuping
No changes to policies, but people sometimes ask me to check with my network about topics we're exploring, and conversations with LSW members constantly enhance what I could otherwise contribute to the various projects I'm involved with. People here perceive me as being highly connected to people who are innovative and aware of emerging trends and technologies. (i.e. You guys make me look good.)
- Imitation lris
Three of us are involved with LSW here. I think it has encouraged cross departmental communication (at least between us)--Tim and I are almost always in the Meebo room on Tues nights to chat. I'm not sure if I can think of a specific policy example.
- Abigail
Ditto to what Iris said. I am a different--and better--librarian because of the LSW. And we totally have our website because of LSW.
- laura x
i get asked to consult "the network out there" (as opposed to the network within me, i guess) about various things and usually LSW peeps are the ones who are talking about it already. and i totally echo Iris - y'all make me look good.
- jambina
nthing the network thing. None of my coworkers know about it would care either. Most are not into networking in general.
- Fiona Bradley
what @Fiona said. I don't think anyone knows what LSW is. It's good for me, though, and I guess that means it's had a positive impact on my org.

I just read "Warrior" in Mean Streets -- if you're a Dresden fan, keep your eyes open for the short Dresden fic that Butcher writes. Warrior is set after Small Favor, for example... so you can get a small fix until Turn Coat comes out.

Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world | Video on TED.com - http://www.ted.com/index...
Entrepreneurial mycologist Paul Stamets seeks to rescue the study of mushrooms from forest gourmets and psychedelic warlords. The focus of Stamets' research is the Northwest's native fungal genome, mycelium, but along the way he has filed 22 patents for mushroom-related technologies, including pesticidal fungi that trick insects into eating them, and mushrooms that can break down the neurotoxins used in nerve gas. There are cosmic implications as well. Stamets believes we could terraform other worlds in our galaxy by sowing a mix of fungal spores and other seeds to create an ecological footprint on a new planet. "Once you’ve heard 'renaissance mycologist' Paul Stamets talk about mushrooms, you'll never look at the world -- not to mention your backyard -- in the same way again." Linda Baker, Salon.com

Mr Rothman: I don't know when we'll get it. We have done the big deal with Springer and get everything they publish electronically. But we haven't negotiated for the '09 imprints yet.

The Next Generation of Academics: A Report on a Study Conducted at the University of Rochester - https://urresearch.rochester.edu/handle...
This document reports on the user research portion of “Enhancing Repositories for the Next Generation of Academics” (IMLS Grant No. LG-06-06-0051). We conducted user research from December 2006 through March 2008 to support development of a suite of authoring tools to be integrated into an institutional repository. Our understanding of the work practices of graduate students enabled us to design the authoring tools to meet their needs for individual and collaborative writing and to make it easy for them to move completed documents from the authoring system into the repository.

College Hopefuls Have Much to Fear From Facebook - MSN Encarta - http://encarta.msn.com/encnet...
Parents, in case you haven't heard, college admissions officers may or may not be cyber-scrutinizing your children. That's big news in the world of college admissions. But it shouldn't be. College admissions officers are savvy and (like prospective employers) they can get a little curious about students. I'm not saying we have a breaking-and-entering situation here -- quite the contrary. Facebook and MySpace pages are not private and thus aren't often treated as such.
