random unrelated questions
Does anyone know if there is a Smallville beta community? Someone dropped me a comment on an old post asking about that, and while I know of this list of potential beta readers here, I don't know how up to date that list is, or whether the folks on it are still in the fandom.
On a completely separate note, is anyone in the Bay Area interested in doing some kind of fannish get-together the weekend of June 24& 25? Over Memorial Day weekend I was in San Francisco visiting a friend from college and got to meet the wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clari_clyde, and we thought it might be fun to have a larger gathering the next time I am in town, which is going to be for Gay Pride.

1. Total number of music files on your computer: 5, I think? All frombop_radar. Basically, a combination of technological incompetence and fear of getting in trouble (mostly at work, not from the RIAA people) has made me leery of downloading music. Plus, I'm always about 15 years behind most technology--I only got a CD player in 1999. A sizeable chunk of my musical collection is still on cassettes!
2. The last CD you bought was: "Songs and More Songs by Tom Lehrer," because I saw it in the store and had a sudden hankering to hear "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park."
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message: Well, I'm actually listening to that Tom Lehrer CD right now, though I don't know the name of the song that just played. I was listening to REM before that, so the last song whose title I can remember is "The End of the World as we know it."
4. Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:
Ok, this question is biased toward people who listen to individual songs on a playlist. I'm going to go for 5 albums instead, since that's how I listen to music:
This Mortal Coil, "Filigree and Shadow"
Marc Cohn, Marc Cohn (this is the one with "Walking in Memphis" on it).
Joni Mitchell, "Ladies of the Canyon"
Bruce Springsteen, "The River"
The Proclaimers, "Sunshine on Leith"
5. Who are you going to pass the stick to and why?
Anybody who wants to do it.
