Doh!
Terribly sorry guys - Gigi Marentette is running the fundraiser tonight, not Gigi Tsui. Very sorry about that. The listing for tonight should have read:
- Monday: Gigi Marentette hosts a special performance for the down and out musos of HK; see below, and drink them back to health (doors open at 6, music starts at 9PM)
Robbin and Tommy could still really use a hand, and Monday managed to get a hold of me enough that I calling green blue seemed like a good idea.
I'll trade you for the trouble, though. The trivia is back in for this week:
- Well after the earlier 400BC reports of Chinese flying toys described as having the capability of vertical flight and the flying cars of the 抱朴子, what inventor is generally considered the father of the modern helicopter with his plans to build what was referred to as "an aerial screw"?
- This father of modern aviation of both French and Brazilian descent complained in 1904 to his friend Louis Cartier that he could not easily check his pocket watch while in flight, before asking him if he could design anything better that would let him keep his hands on the controls, after which Cartier designed an early wristwatch that he then helped to popularize. Who was this man?
Sorry about the mixup,
Guy Cirino
Chief Mistaken Officer
without misdirection from:
Joyce Baker
Chief of Art and Design
Rob Baker
General Manager and the guy who didn't make the mistake
