Leslie,

Gosh! What a fun article [Dick's Drive-In: Can it Outlive the Replicants? February 2000] to read! Thank you for taking the time and the interest to write it. It's nice too to think that our family restaurant brings such good feelings and good times to so many of our neighbors -- including the ones that could eat anywhere they want but enjoy the simpler fare and unique environment at Dick's.

I would be honored if you would allow us to link to your article from our own web site.

Sincerely,
John Spady (Dick's oldest son)
Director of Technical Support
Dick's Drive-In Restaurants, Seattle

Democratic candidate and ex-NBA star Bill Bradley was seen in late February at the Dick's drive-in on Broadway, during one of his campaign stops. This, of course, puts him in a whole new light, since Gore, McCain and Bush were all in town for the state primaries and yet were never spotted any place truly cool. Dick's Rocks! Yeah!

FIRST SIGN OF SPRING

Hey, Get Lost,

I would like to inform the readers of the official arrival of Spring on 17 February, 2000, criterion being the spotting of the first floating unfurled and spent condom on Lake Union. I let this one float in all its ribbed glory, rather than collecting it as I ordinarily would other flotsam for disposal. (see next month's article on biodegradation and recycling.)

Your Resident Unnaturalist,

IT WAS SAD MONTH FOR PETS AND POETRY

[Mike McCrea sent us this note in what must have been a tearstained email... the prose that was generated by this tragedy is a tragedy all on its own, and can be found in the features section. Get Lost Magazine's Dave McBee couldn't contribute poetry, but he did muster a bit of performance art for the occasion, below.]

Leslie,
I'm leaving for the memorial service now...

Okay, you guys, who's been spreading our address around Brazil?? And how come no one has sent me any pictures of Carnival? Or any Jobim CDs? Or even a lousy Brazil nut?

Anyway, look for the Get Lost Magazine link in Portuguese... it certainly sounds sexier in another language, no? I'm guessing that if someone from Brazil wants to check out the Lind Combine Demolition Derby, they won't be able to get the story anyplace else but imigrar.com. We'll see you in the Viagens e Turismo / Guias On-Line section.

By the way, you can rate this magazine to the Brazilian readership, making use of the pufferfish effect, making us seem far grander than we are: How would you rate this site?
