I’m not sure where the unofficial page will go, but it’s sad that it is
not going to to Mike’s new account.
What factors influence selling an entire VF collection?
In reference to the <
person and pollutes this list with lots of responses. (I realize that I
am responding to it, but I’m doing it for your OWN DAMN GOOD!! ;> )

Chicago Info Needed..RE: Voice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hey everyone, i was just wondering if anyone out there went to that new
year’s eve thing in chicago? i don’t recall anyone mentioning it, and
am curious to know what went on exactley…how long did they play??
etc…..
thanks jmi
oh, and what’s up with kj’s comment..you’re in the wrong place to make
comments like that!
-Pat. Says: I’d be interested in hearing about that show, too. If noone
went to that, would someone write in about past New Year’s
shows? What I really want to know is: are they different in
any way from their regular concerts?

Folks, I’d just like to remind you about a couple of things in the
webpage section of this letter. 1:I have added the auction update URL
for your easy access. 2:Anyone interested in tabs should look into the
tab digest. 3:Une Banane dans l’oreille is a neat diversion. Send in
your top 5 choices, and see if your choices rank in the weekly top 5.
Here’s what I sent this week:
<
Of course, you don’t need to write in French. I just like the practice.
4:I’ve received 28 responses for the Here I Am list, and they represent
the following places:AL, AZ, CA, FL, MD, MA, NE, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OH, OK,
PA, TX, VA, WA, WI, and ONT, Can. I know where some of you live, but
unless you respond specifically to Here I Am, I will not include
your name, in case you have no interest in meeting other subscribers.
Also, other than the one Ottowan (is that right?), there have been no
non-US submissions.
