I just want you guys to know, that the Crawl sucks, the ice machines at the Phoenix ran out by 2 pm, there's no parking, there are Frat guys in Parrothead hats running around yelling 'show us yer tits' There are long lines at the bathrooms every where, some chick tried to take a shower in Dr. Z's room, and then came in and switched the music to krautrock dance music.
Someone stole someone else's enchanted tiki room shirt that they left hanging over the railing at the hotel...and it's only Friday afternoon!
Yeah, really you're not missing anything

From the Cricket Forum
CRICKETS
Crickets have been kept in captivity for thousands of years as the singing of the adult males is considered pleasant by many people.
HOUSING
An aquarium with a tight fitting wooden lid makes a good cage, the lid is to prevent the crickets from jumping out, it needs to have ventilation holes a fine wire mesh is ideal. Though they can be kept at room temperature (200C, in colder climes they will be more active and sing better if given some warmth, an electric light or a heat pad are useful sources around 30 degrees is successful for most species. Most species of cricket seem happy with a regime of 16 hours of daylight to 8 hours of night including the primarily nocturnal Acheta domesticus. Most species need some sort of cover to hide in, egg cartons, the cardboard inners from toilet rolls and inverted polystyrene cups all make suitable hideaways.
WATER
Water should be made available in a shallow bowl filled with cotton wool which should be changed as it gets dirty, alternately water can be supplied in mini inverted drinkers similar to those used for poultry.
FEEDING
All crickets are omniverous and in the wild some species are carnivorous by choice, if crickets are not kept well fed they will prey on one another. Most things can be used as food, I have found that a combination of rolled oats with fresh fruit and vegetables will surfice to keep them happy.
BREEDING
The females will lay their eggs in the damp cotton wool which should be changed twice a week. The old cotton wool should be placed in a well ventilated plastic box in a warm airing cupboard. the eggs should hatch in a week or two, depending on the temperature. The young and the adults can be kept together providing they have plenty of food.
SUGGESTED SPECIES
House Cricket Acheta domesticus
Field Cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
