woke up in a strange room
and then I saw a door
I went right over and opened it
though I’d never been there before

St. Norbert Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had always hesitated to write becuase I didn’t feel that any of my
experiences were as interesting as others that wrote in. Well, finally
I have something to write about. The St. Norbert’s show was of course
great, becuase the VF are so amazing. I was dead center front the whole
show. The crowd was a little anoying because they were more interested
in getting out of there to start drinking, than listening to any good
music. The band played great though. After the show I was determined
to finally meet the band. My friend and I hung out back when we finally
saw a man who we convinced to let us in. I concentrated more than
anything on being polite…. I told him I just wanted to meet then for a
sec, that they were my absolute favorite band, and he was very
understanding. We chatted for awhile… when I brought up American
Music and you Pat I was instantly in with them. =] Then Guy walked
right by! He was just halarious…. he gave me a huge hug, and took a
picture with me. He told me he’d take a picture with me any hour, min,
or sec of the day. =] Gordon and Brian were right behind him….. I
tried to be breif to not be a bother, and just complimented them. I got
a quick autograph and picture, and said goodbye. I swear I almost died
though! Oh, i never thought that i would actually shake their hands!
Sorry that this was so long, but I can’t get over
the excitement I felt seeing them walk out in front of me. They were
all really cool to me….. I think it helped that I tryed to stay calm,
and that there was only two of us. Anyway, that is all. I loved it, I
loved the music, and loved to finally meet them!!!!!!!!!

>They

classic!!!

>We do not go through the motions

i’d like brian to eat this sentence…..but i haven’t seen the femmes
in about 6 months so i don’t care if they do go through motions as long
as they do something close to maine…
point…sharp…i think they go through motions but after that many
years set motions become second nature and possibly unnoticable…damn
my ugly mind…curse my gross brain…i cannot think clearly….damn
school..damn music…damn dirty laundry…dman it somebody stole my
last 5 dollars
damn me

Re:Halloween
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ok, i’ve been stuck in school too for a while. but here we go. my
ideas for the halloween show:

1) nuns. the whole lot of ’em.
2) they could wear those great outfits on the cover of “Rock!!!!!” (i
feel bad for those of you who haven’t seen these picture.)
3) they could wear underoos. guy would be aquaman. brian would be
superman. gordon could be the flash. i miss my underoos. (sniff)
4) devo. those pots on the head would be so great.

that’s it for today. i think that would be neato.
