sevfiv Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) never heard of "ultra," but if the record i found is for the same magazine, it was published by Farb starting in 1981 until 1991 (?). UT austin and baylor apparently have all issues i'm also curious as to what "the carlyle" was Edited May 27, 2006 by sevfiv Quote
torvald Posted May 27, 2006 Author Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) never heard of "ultra," but if the record i found is for the same magazine, it was published by Farb starting in 1981 until 1991 (?).yup, it's listed as farb publications. i was interested if any folks here were hanging out in those ultracool locales back then --- and if so, where are you spending your time now? are we still proud of those exports and are there any new ones to speak of?

bachanon Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) butera's charlie's 517 cafe annie one's a meal whole foods yup, that was me. actually, i went to charlie's 517 and cafe annie only once during the eighties for special occasions. i loved butera's chicken salad. is the montrose location still there? i drive by all the time and haven't noticed.
