Something for some people.
This is Paul about Steve Kurtz.

FBI HARASSMENT OF ARTIST AND SCIENTIST CONTINUES
Kurtz and Ferrell face 20-year charges of mail and wire fraud in federal court arraignment.

Dr. Steven Kurtz, Associate Professor of Art at the University of Buffalo, was arraigned and charged in Federal District Court in Buffalo today on four counts of mail and wire fraud (United States Criminal Code, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1341 and 1343), which each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The defendants were charged not with bioterrorism, the investigative reason that was state on the original FBI subpoenas, but with a glorified version of "petty larceny," in the words of Kurtz attorney Paul Cambria. The laws under which the indictments were obtained are normally used against those defrauding others of money or property, as in telemarketing schemes. Historically, these laws have been used when the government could not prove other criminal charges. (See for background and full text of indictment.

Under the arraignment conditions, Kurtz is subject to travel restrictions, random and scheduled visits from a probation officer, and periodic drug tests.


Well, The trial will be next March as I heard. So, Steve doesn't have any problem to teach in this Fall. And I heard some crazy things. He has to go to FBI office whatever (I'm not sure) every Wednesday. And..he can't get drunk. He can drink, but he can't get drunk.. Isn't this so crazy..?

And,, here the thankyou message to Metalpeter. Well, the photo I got is from Korean funny news blog website. Whenever I find out funny photos, I will post it here. I'm glad that you liked my sister's photo and the funny photo.

Sonic Youth
I had no idea who they are until I got in the place, Sphere last Saturday night. Well, so many people came out for their concert and they seemed very excited about it.
I got a free admission to get in there actually. What happened to me, Here the story is.

Michael Bureman (I don't know his last name spelling exactly), Soundlab assistant called me in the morning. Well, of course I didn't pick up the phone because I was in the bed. Well, but I wanted to check message though.. I was scarcely awaking and checked the message. He left "Hi Soyeon, this is Micheal Burman, I'm looking for Robin's phone number and if you know please give me a call back" Hum.. Robin..? She is in GA right now. I ignored his message and went back to sleep.Then.. He kept calling me again to look for Robin. Okay.. Finally I picked up the phone and "hi" and told him "Robin is in Georgia" He said.. "oh, then would you be interested in passing out flyers at the concert tonight.. you can get a free ticket and free drink" Hum... Sounds good to me. That's what happened to me. So I was substitute of Robin because she wasn't here.

Well, I was interested in doing that not only going to the concert but also checking ID and taking money at the door of Soundlab. I needed some activity. But, as considering that I didn't grow up in America, I don't know many underground bands. So, every time, I find out good bands and music, I'm always willing to go and listen.

Soundlab people were talking about Sonic Youth, but it sounded like to me "Santa Cruse" So.. I thought.. we are going to see Santa Cruse.... Santa Cruse.. Hum.. Sounds not bad. So, I asked Leah at the concert.. When Santa Cruse coming out..?
Of course, she laughed a lot.. No.. No.. Sonic Youth. She said and added who they are. The concert was amazing. I loved it. Of course I had to give the flyers out to people at the concert. Of course I got shy by doing that. Because I never done doing that kind of stuff before. Micheal Burman was looking at me and telling me.. "give them out" The flyers says.. Party at Soundlab afterward Sonic Youth. I don't know I got very shy to pass out flyers. But I had so much fun at the concert.

Afterward, at Soundlab, I checked ID and took money at the door. It was really fun. I couldn't stop smiling people because I was telling people.. "ID and 2 box, please" Well, I don't know.. gathering money and checking ID... It's very fun to do it. Of course I couldn't notice some people's ages. Also, I gave "X" marks to people under 21.. Whenever I gave the marks... I said.. "Sorry,, but I have to give it to you" One guy came up to me and said.. "I never ever seen happy door person like you" Yeah.. I had so much fun..

Thanks Robin for being in Georgia right now.

We are foreigners.
I want to share a story of my youngest sister with people on elmwoodstrip.com. She wrote on her journal and it made me laugh a lot. Oh well, I miss her.

Okay.. here the story is, actually it doesn't sound really funny for you guys. If you don't like the story, don't blame at me. Please.

My youngest sister, her name is Yoonjeong, she lives in London for school like me.
Actually, she got really young face, and even she doesn't do makeup either. Well, she loves dressing up and collecting pretty stuff. Yeah, sometimes I feel like.. too much.. Anyway.. She goes to school by train in London, yeah of course in London, everything is expensive. So, she wanted to save money from transportation. In London, under 15 years old children can get 50% discount for the trains. Well, she is an asian and got young face. So, she always gets tickets for children.. under 15 years old ticket, then she can save money. 50%. She never had a problem with that until a train guy who takes care of ticket thingie asked her the other day like..."how old are you?". She never expect that's gonna happen to her. So.. she said.. "15 years old." But the guy was very suspicious of looking at her and asked her again "When did you born?" She couldn't calculate at the moment immediately. (Actually she is 24 years old). Even she didn't know when 15 years old kids born. So.. she just said.. "1986" which means she could be 17 years old or 18 years old. And the guy gave her evil eyes. "That's not 15 years old kids born year" She got really embarrassed on the train and didn't know what to do. Even she thought.."oh my god, I might go to police station" But, the train guy smiled her later around "don't do that from now on" So, she survived. But she wrote, she still does that. Hum.. that's my youngest sister..

I guess, the train guy must be known some asian girls got young face so that they can't notice their ages exactly. Anyway.. I thought it was so funny. Actually the way she wrote about the story in Korean was so funny. Well, we are trouble in another country. Me, I got a problem in this country.."car problem because I didn't take care of car inspection thingie and tickets thingie so that I can't drive my car right now" And, my youngest sister just wanted to save money.. but.. it's a problem for her sometimes. Oh well..

Here my youngest sister recent picture in London is.
