This special column takes a moment to present the most bizarre image received. Our faces froze with gasps of shock similar to that of the youngest girl in the photo when we feasted our eyes on these green monsters. Of course, cucumbers that can be hol lowed into canoes and cabbage leaves big enough to build the clam shell for a front yard Venus De Milo sculpture can only mean one thing: A state fair is on the way. Sadly, our fair Beaver State has failed to create such promotion, which is, at the least, attention-getting. To go where size really does matter, travel to Alaska for its state fair Aug. 24- Sept. 3. Despite the chilly stereotypes, pro moters boast: “The Land of the Mid night Sun produces 90-pound cab bages, 190-pound pumpkins and other monster veggies. ” Our suggestion is to make a trek out of it. Start at the Oregon State Fair, ven ture north to Washington’s, thenhitthe big freakin’ greens. In fact, stop by a county fair along the way and see Styx, Visit anchorage.net for more infor mation about the fair or where to get matching purple plaid flannels. ‘Giant’band set to play Eugene The band that brought us mu sical history lessons about one-term former president James K. Polk and the name flip-flop of Turkey’s capital is coming to Eugene. They Might Be Giants have been confirmed as the headlin ing act for the Eugene Celebration on Sept. 14. A few months ago, band members John Flansburgh and John Linnell told CNN they don’t mind be ing called nerd rockers — or even a novelty act. But after seven studio al bums, a slough of live and greatest hits material and a TV show theme song here and there, the boys aren’t a novelty like The Buggies or Len. They’re simply good. Don’t be a fool; go see them when they come to town. TMBG will release “Mink Car” Sept. 11. Veterans of the band’s live sets will recog nize many of the songs, including “Cyclops Rock” and “Another First Kiss.” Speaking of “nerd rockers” with upcoming albums, The Eels announced this week that they will release their new al bum in 2002, with the help of John Parish of P.J. Harvey’s band and Jeremy Lang The Be-In Ttus w/eek at lotw Henry's ■courtesy clerks* BUIUTOW. t* THIMISSIMMS
