You Tell Me That It’s Evolution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evolution is a good thing..and this letter should always be ready to
change for the better. Thanks to a suggestion from
I have decided to post the complete TourDates and Who/Where WEEKLY, on
Mondays. On Wednesdays and Fridays I will only post new concert dates
and those who/wheres which occur on or before the next Monday. I wasn’t
going to post any at all on Wed. and Fri., but then someone wrote in to
be put on the who/where for the Apr. 4 show, and I realized some people
might find midweek that they can make a show after all, and they should
have the chance to meet people via the who/where.
This should clear out a bit of the clutter so you can get to the
chatter. Thanks also to the many other people who have written in about
this.

Salisbury Unofficially Official
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just got this email from someone at Salisbury State:
<
I can tell you a little bit. May 2 and 3 is Gullipalooza at Salisbury
State, and Pollstar lists the May 2 VF show as definite. They just have
to ‘officialize’ things at Salisbury.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Extra Elkhart Ticket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey! I’ve got an xtra ticket for the show in Elkhart, Indiana. It’s
a small venue, so it should be a great show!!! If anyone wants it,
email me at
****amber

RE: VF Covered
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<< Anyhow,
to the point. Last Saturday (the 21st) I was at a punk/ska show in
Millburn, NJ. BIGWIG, arguably the best local punk band in NJ, played a
punked-up cover of Kiss Off. >>
personally i hate big wig even though most of my dorky friends like
em 🙂 but i gotta give em credit for covering the Femmes.

Is this a world wide release date or is it just in America? If this
is just America when can the rest of the world get it, i.e Australia.
Also if there is going to be a single when can we expect that to be
released as well. Just curious 🙂

RE: Who Decides?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<< Is it true that VF don’t have a set list of songs that they will
play at concerts and Brian decides what they will play as the concert
goes on? >>
i believe they have put a setlist to memory….when i see the femmes in
concert i usually catch three shows in 5 days and the setlists are
usually the same with two or three changes….i hate that but i really
don’t care..burp…
byebye!!!!!..leo koetke(sp??) will be playing in ellsworth maine this
month…date???…he plays slide guitar in cold cold canyon…i think???
i should get the facts down before i submit stuff..oh welly well…
byebye again
-Pat. Says: Close. It’s Kottke.

Bad BITS on TV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I haven’t posted in a r-e-a-l long time- but i was watching that little
box with pictures on it- better know as the TV and there is this new
show called “2 guys/girl/pizza place” or somethin’ like that. Well ya
know how shows like Seinfeld have a little bass riff in between scenes–
On this new show the “scene break” music is clearly a bad rendition of
BITS…
I just thought this was kinda weird and was wondering if anybody has
heard anything about it. I wonder if the Femmes know what the hell is
goin’ on with this bunk show.
I’m going to the LOUISVILLE show on the 7th- and i’m searching for some
yard flamingos to bring– an old tradition so the boys will play the
sweetest of sweeting songs. If anyone is going e-mail me and we can
hook up- I’d love to make it to the INDY show but i ain’t 21, so i’m
shiza out of luck.

-Pat. Says: You can contact ddearry and
They’ll be in Louisville. Cheryl
mentioned that TV show a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it’s
very similar to BITS.
