Free Directory Assistance Charges

October 3rd, 2005  |  Published in Uncategorized

1-800-FREE-411 provides a great service that eliminates those nasty $1-plus charges when connecting to the business(es) you call about. Hows this possible? Before you get the phone number, you get an ad with special offers from other local, top-rated businesses. Its then up to you to bite at the offer, or proceed to get the phone number.

Anyways, FREE is always good. Its just a matter of having the time to wait for that FREE assistance, or not. A simple way to figure out if this is for you (or not) is by simply asking yourself: “Do I like those pre-movie advertisements?”

M.I.A. in the City

M.I.A. Wednesday 10/5/05 at SF

M.I.A. (aka. Maya Arulpragasam) will be in SF this week. She’ll be over at the Virgin Megastore doing an in-store performance and signing this Wednesday, October 5th at 6pm. Hope to catch that and get some picks of her in action.

Meanwhile, the same night, she’ll be heading over to The Grand Ballroom at Regency Center (1300 Van Ness) for a show. Only $20 (available through ticketmaster). I hope to catch this one for sure rather than seeing her at Oakland Arena on December 1st cause of the smaller venue factor. Even though she’s duo-ing with Gwen at Oakland. Damn–its both a win-win situation. Choices, choices, choices.

Anyways, if you aint doing Wednesday night, those are the places to be to get hit by smashing, new sound. It’ll for sure rock your socks. See you there.
