Sao Paulo Pt. 2 And let's not forget Caipirinhas! Here is another recipe and another. We have had lemon, lime, passionfruit and pineapple caipirinhas. I still have a little left in a bottle of cachaca that I brought back from Brazil. The real deal, made on a farm in the country.....
Italians love Caipirinhas, too. They serve them with Cachaca or with vodka.
When we left Sao Paulo - my first time in Sao Paulo was with the band in 1994 - our driver slowed down half-way to the airport and pulled over. Turns out somebody had loosened all of the lug nuts on one of the wheels and it was about to fall off.....the driver shrugged and said this sort of thing happens in Sao Paulo....

Sao Paulo I've been wondering about your Sao Paulo song - could you comment a bit on it? What is the relationship with the city in Brazil? Did you compose it in light of a trip down there? How was it? Sorry for so many questions but I love this song, I love your music (Snake Charmer is my favorite), and - believe it or not - I do think Sao Paulo (the city) has an incredible beauty (despite its amazing array of issues as a large metropolis) - but you have to be open minded to understand it. - Flavio A. Manfredi Lebrao • 12/4/03; 6:06:49 AM I have been to Sao Paulo twice in the 90's and enjoyed the city very much both times. Sure Sao Paulo has problems...pollution, electricity black-outs, crime and more...but it is also so incredibly vibrant. The sounds, the colors. I love the sound of Brazilian - so different from Portuguese. It has to be the sexiest language in the world. I can sit somewhere and just listen to people speak....The Brazilian people are also amazing. They move like nobody else and in general seem to be so at ease.
I wrote the song last year and Sao Paulo came to mind. In January of 2004 we will offer a free download of a long live version of Sao Paulo, recorded during this Summer's tour.

From us to you:
The free december download is up. It is "Le Cafe" from the Nutcracker. This is a song from our third Holiday CD, which SSRI will release in the Fall of 2004. I am playing the Lester DeVoe negra. Jon is playing his Turkish Saz as well as synth and bass. Davo is playing the dumbek.

The warnings were clear. When Cellphone Number Liberation Day arrived on Monday, there was to have been chaos as millions rushed to be among the first to take their old cellphone numbers with them to new carriers. AT&T Wireless cautioned on its Web site that "you may want to wait for the dust to settle before you consider making a move."
Of course, that's probably what the authorities in Berlin were saying the day the wall came down.
I was eager to join the surging masses and abandon my cellular company of four years, Sprint PCS, for the potentially greener pastures of T-Mobile, a decision that had everything to do with poor customer service and absolutely nothing to do with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Saw a great T-Mobile commercial regarding number portability the other day. I think in the end the company with the better customer service will be able to attract a lot more business.

Warchalking is the practice of marking a series of symbols on sidewalks and walls to indicate nearby wireless access. That way, other computer users can pop open their laptops and connect to the Internet wirelessly. It was inspired by the practice of hobos during the Great Depression to use chalk marks to indicate which homes were friendly.
