Fun with Wikipedia
Call me a hopeless geek, but I've long enjoyed Wikipedia's random-article feature in pursuit of the joy of learning something new and unexpected. But you can click it a lot of times before something truly interesting comes up. I've just found out about a list - on Wikipedia, of course - that's a trove of interesting articles. No more hunting for something new and interesting. It's so un-serious and un-Wikipedia-like that Wikipedia felt compelled to include the following caveat, which could also describe the Coffee House: "This page contains material which is kept because it is considered humorous. Please do not take it seriously." I'm a little embarrassed to admit how many of these offbeat topics I was already familiar with. Grope**** Lane, though, that was a new one to me.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Needless to say, your imagination will have to fill in the ****.  One of our nearby towns was featured there! Boring, Oregon (where our very own Mama Bear, Janet, used to live!)
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

It would appear I have my own entry on that page: Project Steve 
We would expect nothing less!

So your next band will be called Random Button?

How about "Any Key to Continue"?
Not just 'cause I'm the keyboard player. It's because my band starts every song by someone asking "what key is this in, again?"
