MISCmedia for 2/23/00
Search Engine Fun

OUR NEXT LIVE EVENT will be a reading Sunday, Feb. 27, 7:30 p.m. at Titlewave Books on lower Queen Anne. It's part of a free, all-ages group lit-event including, among others, the fantastic Farm Pulp zine editor Gregory Hischack.

FROM TIME TO TIME, we like to look at the search-engine keywords that bring users here. So many of them are so darned off from anything actually found at this site, I have no idea how those keywords got folks here:
