Re: [Chat] [Discussion] Spaghetti Disco ?

Jeff and I also had a terrific time--thank you to everyone
who put on the event!  And special thanks to John Spurrier
for being such an excellent DJ in playing fun, danceable
music--you don't know how frustrating it can be in being
held hostage by an awful DJ who has no concept at all of
DANCE music! 

Btw, before I joined the CVCA as a member, I always picked
up a copy of the Charles Villager at Eddie's Market.

Re: [Chat] Smoking ban passed!

Going out in recent years at bars in Massachusetts and New York CIty was a 
far more pleasant experience without the smoke.   It's great that Baltimore has 
finally caught on.   But that is disapppointing about Jack.   Did he give any 
reason for his vote?

Wait until you all figure out what you're breathing in by just living  
in the city or, heck, even just driving around in your car in  
traffic. That stuff coming out of all those tail pipes around you  
isn't exactly happy bubblegum fairy farts.

While I particularly don't care either way vis a vis the smoking ban,  
this social kerfuffle concerning smoking in bars and clubs is really  
silly when viewed in the context of daily life a la urbain.

Linda,

Kathleen and I went to The Haven for an event for Mary
and we rather enjoyed it, but the smoke was just awful.
It seemed there was more smoke the later it got.  I think
we would go back if there were not smoke.

One time my parents and sister visited us, and we thought
we'd take them duckpin bowling at the Seidel lanes.
But when we got there, my sister turned around and went
back out because of the smoke.  I guess we'd gotten used
to having to tolerate some smoke to go bowling.  It will
sure be nice not to have to put up with that again.
We went to a Duck and Roll ( http://www.rootscafe.org/ )
once and the smoke was pretty bad.

Maybe if we're lucky, some establishments will see the
writing on the wall and start going smoke-free before
January 1, 2008.

Is anybody else disappointed that Jack Young voted
against the ban?

Re: [Chat] Smoking ban passed!

2007-02-27 Thread Stephen J Gewirtz
I'm also pleased.  Although I do not go to bars often, when I have gone, 
the smoke has not made it the most pleasant experience.  And when I 
think about someone like Dana Reeve who never smoked but who nonetheless 
died of lung cancer, I cannot ignore the dangers of second hand smoke to 
people like Linda's son or to any of us who are exposed occasionally.  I 
too will say thanks to Council Members Bobby Curran and Mary Pat Clarke.


What we need now is a statewide ban on smoking in bars and adjacent 
restaurants.  While I suspect that the customers who are lost to bars 
and restaurants in Baltimore City because of the smoking ban will be 
replaced by other customers who avoid second hand smoke, it certainly 
will not hurt our local bars to extend the ban statewide (although with 
a ban only in Baltimore City, they may gain some customers from 
Baltimore County who previously would have gone to Howard County).

Hello, neighbors,

The Sun is reporting that the City Council approved
the smoking ban by a vote of 9-2 today, and the Mayor
Dixon says she will sign it.  The measure would take
effect January 1, 2008.

Re: [Chat] [Discussion] Spaghetti Disco ?

Christine:

Chuck Bullamore handles distribution requests for the Charles Villager.  If 
you are not receiving it on your block contact him at the above email address 
for more information.  Are you a member of the Charles Village Civic 
Association? If not, would you like to be?  Members get copies of the Villager 
delivered 
to their home.  There is also a CVCA member notice list for distribution of 
notices by email.

I distributed the Spaghetti Disco info using my Westside Neighbor's List to 
those West of Charles Street for whom I have email addresses.  It is not a CVCA 
run event.  It is run by a small group of community volunteers who thought it 
was a good idea 9 years ago.  I am not one of that group but I have always 
known about it and have often attended.

There were no advanced ticket sales and you could only buy tickets at the 
door.

I am sorry that no one thought to circulate the notice of the Spaghetti Disco 
on the Chat list.  Maybe next year it will be done.

It was a lot of fun for children and for adults.  There was a separate play 
room for children while the adults danced.  The food and music were great!
