MISCmedia for 12/31/99
The Old Insville and Outski
THE TRADITION CONTINUES: For the 14th consecutive year, here's your fantastical MISCmedia In/Out List. Thanks to all who contributed suggestions.
As always, this list predicts what will become hot or not-so-hot over the course of the Year of the Double-Oughts; not necessarily what's hot or not-so-hot now. If you think every person, place, thing, or trend that's big now will just keep getting bigger forever, I've got some Packard Bell PCs to sell you.
(P.S.: Every damned item on this list has a handy weblink. Spend the weekend clicking and having fun.)
MONDAY: I'm perfectly confident there will still be electricity and computer networks, and am prepared to ring in the double-ought year with a Peanuts tribute.

Stewart Holbrook's Lowbrow Northwest
Those of us who mourn the changing face of the PacNW need to be reminded the region's always been changing; ever since Caucasians took it over, it's been steadily gaining bourgeois "respectability" and losing its frontier wildness and kitsch. This volume collects magazine articles and historical pieces from the '40s to the '60s by one of the region's greatest writers. It's full of wacky religious cults, miserable logging camps, drunks, hookers, labor agitators--all the people who make civilization great.
