I just want to sign off here. I'm
in over my head on this interweb and I
need to get off and take care of
business for awhile. It's alot of work
being Reno Sepulveda and I'm
tired. I've got no complaints
about the Brink though. People
have treated me very well here and Dan
Vinik has proven to be a man of his
word. I made enough money writing on the
Brink to buy a Sonny Smith CD and this
big gay pocketknife! I mean look at that
thing, it's ridiculous! Much like Reno
Sepulveda. It was a pleasure
getting to meet some of you in person.
Zog, Mr. Prophet and John and of course
the lovely Ms Finch. Getting to argue
with Dan Stuart was an education to say
the least. My English Professor thinks
Paul writes so cool and sexy when I copy
and paste his stuff on my assignments.
Foozma! Mind those baggies of goo
now. Jim , I'll be lurking here if
for no other reason than to find out
what happens to Don Pedro, Ana Socorro
and her boyfriend. Maybe I'll
bump... more |

THE BUDAPEST SOLUTION, PART 2
Andras slammed both hands against the steering
wheel. "Damn it! What a fucking amateur move
that was!" Tibor looked undisturbed by this
problem. "So he made us, so what?"
Andras looked at him with scorn. "So what? So
what? So he knows he’s being watched and now
he stops and we never get him. That’s so
what!" Tibor says, "He stops
that’s what we want right. No more
killings." Andras shook his head, "You
stupid fool, he keeps killing he eventually makes
a mistake or we happen to have him under
observation during an attack and we have
him." About that time Andras’ cell
phone rang.
"OK we are in Eger, we’ll be right
there, give me directions." Tibor looked at
him, "Who..what?" Andras started the car
and spun the tires leaving the curb, no small feat
in a Lada, the Russian built cars are rugged but
have little power. "It seems our American
friend has put another notch in his
belt."

In the run up to the 40th anniversary celebrations
of Rolling Stone Brian Jones recording The Master
Musicians of Joujouka, I spoke with Frank Rynne
and Ahmed Attar briefly about the planned Festival
in Joujouka marking the occasion. All details and
booking information are on The
Brink, the website of The Master
Musicians of Joujouka, hesterGlock and many other
places. What does this
anniversary mean to the village of Joujouka?
Ahmed Attar : I was a twelve year
old learning drumming with my father and the
Mallims. Brian Jones was very good. My father
played rhiata with and for him and I danced and
played my drum. He came with Hamri and Brion
Gysin. He had long hair and he rubbed my head. He
brought a lot to Joujouka. Besef Baraka. We will
mark the 40th Anniversary of his village here in
Joukouka to honour Brian Jones and to let people
come to Joujouka and see what it is like here for
themselves. It is good to feel the Baraka of Sidi
Ahmed Scheich. Joujouka is his country.... more
