Hesh Denies Security Troubles for RFD Performances
By JEREMY CLARIDGE

Hesh Records spokesman Kai Cinelli vehemently denied allegations late last week that the string of performances it has organised for top pop band Roll for Damage have suffered from insufficient security. The accusations come hard on the heels of reports from numerous fans about poor crowd control after a surprise club performance at The Click.

According to witnesses, the number of fans who rushed to the venue to try to catch the performance vastly exceeded the club's capacity. Complaints filed against Hesh claim the resulting crowd remained in the street "milling aimlessly" and completely blocking traffic in both directions on Fivebridges Lane for nearly two hours. Marmalejo College student Virgil Kim, one of the many hopefuls who didn't make it into the audience, said the scene was "really frightening. ... There was a bad mood in the crowd, everyone was so disappointed. It's pretty surprising that it didn't get ugly." No injuries were reported, though some Fivebridges Lane business owners reported minor accidental property damage.

Cinelli insists that the performance was planned in accordance with the company's best practices, but that the crowd reaction to this impromptu show "took us all by surprise." He noted that as The Click is the club where Roll for Damage first rose to stardom, it is to be expected that so many fans would want to see the band return to its roots.

Police lieutenant Heidi Lokhande noted that the police did not receive notification that the road was blocked for nearly half an hour after the show began. "We can't resolve problems we don't know about," she said. "After we learned of the issue, we had to call in some volunteer forces to help in peacefully dispersing the crowd." She said that the situation might have been significantly less severe had the police been contacted sooner.

The band has refused to rule out the possibility of announcing further surprise shows. Cinelli insists, though, that Hesh makes the safety of its audience its top priority, and that concert-goers would be perfectly safe attending such a concert. Nonetheless, "We plan to work more closely with the city police in the future," Cinelli said.

Young Chef Chooses Bold Flavours

Youthful chef Gianna Praxten, founder of the yet-to-open restaurant Tasty, held a pre-opening press event over the weekend in which she displayed the fruits of her last year's labour. Praxten, who is only 24 years old, says that she approaches cuisine as a high art, and aims to create sensations the diner has never before encountered -- and at PCL2300 and up per plate, she had better hope that she hits her mark.

Futures
By Madame Bianca, for the week of March 5

The Baby (February 11 - March 10)
Better to cover your face with bees than to do that thing you're thinking of. Sure, you can't see how it could go wrong, but that doesn't mean it can't, just that you're suffering a lack of imagination.

The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)
This week, onions will sit poorly in your small intestine. Madame suggests going onion-free at least through Thursday, when the painful symptoms should begin to ease.

The Spider (April 11 - May 10)
The universe is in love with you next Saturday. I suggest you save up any big gambles you have pending and throw the dice on them all that day. This kind of day doesn't happen to just anyone, muffin.

The Wave (May 11 - June 10)
Everything you do today is a desperate cry for attention, isn't it? You need to take stock of yourself and figure out why you can't be content in and of yourself. The true self is the one you find when nobody else is focused on you.

The Archer (June 11 - July 10)
After some stops and starts, you're finally starting to settle into a new groove. It won't be comfortable for weeks yet, but at least it's something, right? Now if we could only get your love life squared away. Hah, like that's ever going to happen.

The Half-filled Jug (July 11 - August 10)
Wednesday you will stumble upon your new favourite lunch spot. See? Sometimes nice things can happen when you take risks! I mean, not mostly to you, but even you can catch a little break once in a while.

The Dragon (August 11 - September 10)
This would be a great week to get a pet. Fur or scales, honey, but nothing smaller than a coffee mug, and nothing with feathers. There's nothing like a little companionship to point out how very empty your life is.

The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)
You're starting to see a bit of spring colour, and just in time to save your sanity. Why don't you take a good long hike over in Newguard to see the buds and blossoms just emerging. It might even give you some hope for the future.

The Dice (October 11 - November 10)
Don't look now, but while you were off mooning over the meaning of your life, those humdrum demands kept piling up. Funny how the everyday keep intruding into those times that are supposed to be magic, don't you think, dumpling?

The Maze (November 11 - December 10)
You, my darling, will fall afoul of technology problems in the days to come. My advice to you? Don't even try to sort it out with the bank until Friday morning. You'll just wind up making things worse for yourself otherwise.

The Apple-Thief (December 11 - January 10)
Bigger than earth, certainly higher than the sky, more unfathomable than the waters is this love for this man of the mountain slopes where bees make rich honey from the flowers of the kurunci that has such black stalks.

The Hand (January 11 - February 10)
You won't find what you're looking for this week, anyway. It wouldn't kill you to take it easy, you know. All work and no play makes you bloody tiresome to hang around with. Seriously.

And remember, the choice to do right is never easy.

 		And this week's Apple-Thief quote is from A.k. Ramanujan's translations of Tamil Sangam poetry. Rather lovely it is too... A full version can be found here...

 		I was wondering the same thing myself, but without knowing more about her there's not much we can do to get in. Unless we can persuade sombody to become her friend or just follow her around for the day.

 		Heidi Lokhande.. Hidey Lock Hand... Look Hand..

Looking under 'Hand' tells us:

"You won't find what you're looking for this week, anyway. It wouldn't kill you to take it easy, you know. All work and no play makes you bloody tiresome to hang around with. Seriously."

Perhaps we'll have to wait til next week to progress this one? Or maybe I should go out and get some fresh air.

The name Lokhande's Indian in origin by the bye. Heidi is of course German, and baby name sites claim its origin is 'noble, kind'.

My first post btw Smile . Fingers crossed there's no tumbleweed..

 		Yes...definitely a lone weed drifting on by down on the prairie...but I think your username is excellent...why aren't I ever struck by that sort of inspiration when faced by empty <choose a username between 6 and 6 characters> box?

More evidence of the strange off-kilter perplexian publics reactions: Milling aimlessly? They're not even milling with intent, or milling with menace.
