-Pat. Says: yup. I’m slipping. See this date today in the tours
section. Thanks, Renata.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nicks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
okay. you said that there is a concert at nicks on the third of march,
shown by pollstar, but i went and looked it up.. and it didn’t show
up..
does it exist?

ashlee

-Pat. Says: The March 2, 3, and April 20 dates are Absinthe dates.
Absinthe is a band made up of various past and present
members of the BoDeans. Guy used to be in the BoDeans,
performed on the recently released Absinthe album, and
will be appearing with Absinthe when not touring with the
Violent Femmes. At least, that’s what he told Marylee.
If you do an Absinthe search on Pollstar, you’ll find the
Nicks date.

Kutztown Info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

people were asking about it:

Ohio Northern Info Needed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i am interested in going to the concert at Ohio Northern, but I am
uncertain about how you buy tickets through the official homepage or
polstar. If you could help me, i would greatly appreciate it .
Thanks so much!

shad50

-Pat. Says: You can not buy tickets through the Official Homepage or
Pollstar. Those places just list shows. You will have to
contact Ohio Northern for ticket information. Good Luck;
my email to them was ignored. NEVIN! it looks like we’re
counting on you for info!

Happiness Is…

RE: Just a Couple of Things…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in response to Robert Pouder, i would ask gordon: “so why really do
birds sing?” he’d probably have a clever answer to that one. but now
that i think of it hes probably been asked that a hundred times…id
ask it anyway 🙂

Johnny
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone recently wrote the list about Johnny, how good a song it is and
wondering what it’s about. Since I’ve been in the States for a few
months now and having read about a gazillion civil war books in that
time, I was wondering if it might have something to do with the civil
war/johnny rebs, etc. Just a thought.

And you’ll all be pleased to hear that I have a new acoustic bass to
replace the one united’s baggage handler kurt cobained on. So Drewry,
whenever you can make it down here… ;^)

An Intemperate Interlude
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pat. Says: Dear readers; Last time Drew wrote me an alcohol-infused
post, he was very disappointed that I did not print it in
American Music. This time however, I am allowing you all
to be entertained by his sodden meanderings in all their
unedited, magnificent, intoxicated glory. Please remember,
Drew is a trained professional, so kids: don’t try this at
home!
