The Neil Young show Sep 6 now starts at 6:00pm. EMPTY BOTTLE'S LOST CAT ----------------------- Empty Bottle have lost their cat, "Boo", or rather, their ad says she "has been taken from us." If you've been to Empty Bottle, you've no doubt seen her atop the photo booth. I can't reproduce the picture of her, but here are other notable features: - She is light grey with white chest and paws - She is very smart and responds to the name "Boo" - She does not like dogs - She can say "straight door percentage" - She is unsure about "post-rock" We would like her back, please. There is a $100 cash reward for her return, no questions asked. 276-3600. CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.
