Web Board Down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The VF message board, Never Tell, is down for probably the next week,
and maybe more. The server that it was on crashed, and it took the
board and my e-mail account with it. Currently uou can view the board,
but you cannot post. Unfortunately the last time a back up of it was
done was in october. There are more than a thousand postings missing.
If you could please relay this info to the people on the list, I would
appreciate it. Unfortunately I have no way of telling those who
frequented the board, but are not subscribed to AM.
Thank you,
Chris Staley

Baltimore Info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ok,
sorry to take so long to get back to everyone about the femmes concert
in baltimore, i just have been really busy….by now i’m sure everyone
interested already knows the info. The concert is on June 5th which is
a saturday at Pier 6 concert Pavilion in Baltimore. It is off the east
end of the Inner Harbor, close to Fells Point. lawn seats are 20 bucks
and pavilion seats are 25. This will be the first femmes show i think
i am going to where I can’t be jumping around inches from the band.
Actually, no im wrong, they played an earth day concert in 94 where i
had lawn seats. anyways, i am definitely there, and i recommend to
everyone to head over to Fells Pt. after the concert for some post
femmes celebration.
see ya all there

Eugene Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My review is a little late, but so am I. I was at the Eugene show and
it was a good show. My sister, brother-in-law, and chzbooger
were there very early. So early that there was nothing for tickets to
set up and we got to see some of the set up. While we were waiting out
in the lobby some members from El Destroyo walked out to set up their
merchandise. My brother-in-law and I laughed about it because of the
bad experiences of them opening for the femmes (Seattle). Anyway we
talked with them for a while and we talked about the Seattle shows and
I bought their Cd and it was pretty good. During the show I was at the
front and center rail it was fun. While we were in the lobby we
figured out that this was my 10th show seeing the femmes. The sets
were pretty standard but did add some gems like “Candlelight song”.
Cynthia was there again and so was one of the founding members of the
Horns of Dillema Scott Drake. (I think that’s his name). At the end of
the show Guy Hoffman handed a drumstick to someone and it was way
cooler than the one I got in Seattle… oh well…. I did manage to get
a bass pick that was a yellow pick that has black design of VF
surrounded by the circular saw design from New Times. Other than that
I don’t have too much to report.

Femmes Show in Providence, RI 3/19/99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings Femminists,
I went to the show at Lupo’s in Providence on 3/19/99. Lupo’s is a
nightclub that holds several hundred people, maybe over a thousand,
with an open floor and a balcony that runs around three sides of the
room.
I’m so glad I went, because I live near San Francisco and the Femmes
would never play such a small venue here. I got there around 20
minutes after the doors opened and the place was already filling up. I
got a beer, bought a Femmes T-shirt and a sticker, and started worming
my way towards the stage. It wasn’t hard to get quite close to the
guard rail in front of the drum kit, and over the course of the next
two hours of waiting, as the crowd shifted now and then, I managed to
grab onto the rail and swore to myself I wouldn’t let anyone push me
out of my front row spot (and no one did). Lupo’s has no backstage
area, so the Femmes must have been lurking in dark corners somewhere in
the club, and every now and then girls would spot one and let out
piercing shrieks; it definitely heightened the sense of anticipation!
At about 9:30, the opening act came on. He was Carmaig De Forrest, a
one-man show who plays guitar and mandolin?ukelele? and sings goofy
songs. Picture Gordon performing solo and you get the general idea!
He wasn’t that well-received by certain New England chowderheads, I’m
afraid, but it must take balls to get up there alone and sing like
that. Some of us cheered for him. His last song, “Seven Kisses”, was
the best.
