EUROPEANIZE!

After three years of bitching about the May 20th, 2004 show getting canceled at One Eyed Jacks (I think the drummer had to have surgery) my very favorite musician, Neko Case, finally returns to New Orleans. This is in between Austin and Atlanta shows where she'll be opening for Rufus Wainwright, so that might be what's going on here too. This is from the Anti- records site: Neko Case Sunday August 12, 2007 @ 8:00 PM The Republic New Orleans, LA US This made my day. So...... happy.

The Big Top/Three Ring Circus on Clio Street is probably the best art space that New Orleans has going right now. They just came out with this spiffy new calendar for June and it looks like its going to be a fun month.

With all this talk about gas mileage I wanted to find out just how much my little Vespa ET4 was drinking. I've never paid much attention to it before, but now I AM tipping over the $5 scale, so I kept track and punched in my numbers to milesgallon.com and a few other sites. I liked this one because it mentioned that I can't do this equation for my bicycle... Calculate Your Gas Mileage Your gas mileage is 58.2 miles per gallon and your fuel cost is $0.06 / mile. You can't calculate the fuel consumption of your bicycle. Your fuel consumption in some other units 4 litres / 100km 1.72 gallons (US) per 100 miles 69.9 miles per imperial gallon (UK) 0.4 litres per swedish mile (10km) Driving from New York City to Los Angeles you would have to use about 50 gallons of gas costing you $160. Not too shabby...
