Obviously I'm killing time or something, 'cause my question is simple: where can I buy a stove-top espresso maker for a fair price? Chinatown? (Another thing...anyone here have a 16mm projector or editing table? I'd make you all the coffee you want in said stove-top maker if I could use it a couple times over the next few weeks.) |
Thurs Martini thingy, anyone object if I bring a surprise non martini imported beverage for tasting? An experience to remember I promise.

What part of town are you in? We might be able to suggest something closer to you. |

Arrack brewed in a burned out Range Rover radiator?
|
speaking of couriers, films, and films about couriers... i'm appealing to the great resources of the t.o. fixed thread for some info:
i've been cast in the lead role for a bike-themed sci-fi film so i'm looking for a) a messanger-style bag b) a radio (or possibly two - not sure if they have to work or not) c) points on etiquette to use said radio (i promise not to go too overboard with the method acting). thanks! or should i say: "10-4" |
"Say again" is the standard on-air request for the repeat of information. I always hear "Repeat that?" used on TV shows/movies but it is never used in reality as the word "repeat" is only used by doctors over the radio in regards to dosages of medication.
|
sweet, that's the kinda dirt i was hoping for! i'm very keen that things are done as realistically as possible, and i think/hope the director agrees...
i'm so excited: http://www.frontlinefilms.net/cycles.html |

Just got home from 2 1/2 hours in the Don. Conditions are superb and we only saw 3 other riders the entire time. Ridge twice...P.A, River Run and Lower Don both ways. Good times! |

Not that many messengers use 2 ways anymore but when we did the correct on-air term for repeat would be 10-9.

Time is so compressed for me at this time of year ... I literally go from "cross day" to two days of "cross photos" to "is it cross day again yet?" ... and that's it.

Lather, Rinse, ... Repeat

A subtle reminder
http://cavit8.clawz.com/images/martini2.jpg And I might add the new shaker is working famously, at least if the sensation in my brainstem is any indication. |
|
out of curiosity what do bike messengers use if its not a 2way radio? cell phone and just get text messages?
|
PTT MiKE or BB would be my guesses.
|
/\ if that was a response to me, im going to have to ask for it in stupid talk, so i can understand :D
|
PTT Mike = push to talk mike. Push to talk can be used on two way radios but has been adapted to cell phone networks as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_to_talk
BB: http://cavit8.clawz.com/images/bb.jpg |
