Bury me out on the lone prairie,
Prairie water washing over me,

Friendly calls of the coyote.

London Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the london show was great. I got a spot right up front and it felt like
gordon was singing just to me. Played all the classics plus some stuff
from freak magnet. They played life is an adventure which was great,
not many people knew it. The jam during black girls was a definite
highlight. The best was when they played good feelings. Such an
emotional song, I just closed my eyes and felt the music. At the end
they tossed the pics and I got one of gordon’s. As I was leaving brian
was walking through the club and i told him it was a great shoe and
shock his hand. Unforgetable.
soorry I kant spel.

RE: Femmes — Summerfest?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As far as Summerfest goes, I must say i have to agree with Beky.
For anyone who doesn’t already know, they are announcing Summerfest
acts (very slowly) now…
there is one day still open at the Marcus Ampitheater (June 26, i
believe), so the Femmes might play there again like they did in ’96…
or they still have several of the other stages left to announce as
well.
For anyone who is in dire need to know if the Femmes/whoever else are
coming to Summerfest, the best place to find out is
http://www.summerfest.com
A lot of times it’s up there before the media get ahold of the dates.

RE: Used to Be Single on Ebay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m v-femmes, the guy Nick was badmouthing because I also wanted the
Used to Be single on ebay. I am also a big femmes fan and yes I did bid
up the Used to Be single as I wanted it also. This is how ebay works.
After the auction the seller emailed me to say that Nick had tried to
back out of his bid by offering the seller less than he had bid. The
seller then offered it to me and I purchased it. I don’t know if the
seller had two copies as Nick said but I do know that the story Nick
is telling is not the one that I know to be true. The seller should be
happy to have two big femmes fans to drive up the price. When I bid on
an item I always follow through and pay for the item and it upsets me
to hear Nick slander me by accusing me of bidding improperly. If I want
to bid $143 then I have a right to and it does not justify Nick
accusing me of improper bidding. Maybe I am just a bigger femmes fan
than Nick is !

Ebay Robberies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My gosh! If you guys are like me, you check the Violent Femmes
merchandise on ebay regulary..have you noticed the auction robberies
that occur??
There is a copy of ROCK!!! currently on sale for $20 and thats
excluding shipping!!
Last time I checked the official Violent Femme site, ROCK!!! was
available for $12.50 (including shipping and handling) These sellers
need to be aware of the value of what their selling before they start
the bidding way over how much its worth! Yeah, they’re out to profit
but its ridiculous and I’d hate to see someone pay for something that
they can get much cheaper elsewhere. So, I hope none of you Fellow
Femme Fans bid on such an expensive Femme album..
Sincerely,
Marie Paulhamus

<< Nothing very interesting is being written about, everyone’s look
“yipee! i went to a femmes concert and it was awesome, >>
I like to hear about other people’s experiences at Femmes concerts. I
can imagine myself there or remember the great shows I’ve been to. If
you’re not interested don’t read it!
