RE: FAU Info Needed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I live in Boca Raton, I used to go to FAU, too. I went to FAU box
office twice trying to find out anything about the concert. I showed
them a print out of Academic calendar and everything, but nobody had a
clue. I will try to find out more about the concert from my friends at
FAU. I will let you all know if I discover anything. So far I know it’s
in FAU auditorium at 7:00 on Nov, 10th.

RE: Musical Tastes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in response to musical tastes: I can honestly say that i have no
prejudice to any kind of music (except maybe hardcore gangster rap).
Anyone that truly loves music knows that no 2 types can ever be
compared because they’re completely different. Right now in my CD
player is the John Lennon Collection, the Mad Love Soundtrack(mostly
punk alternative), VF add it up, The Beatles CD1 of the Blue, and
Less than Jake (SKA). Just thought I’d add my 2 cents.C-YA

My Car Hates the Violent Femmes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damnit! I drove to Pittsburgh this weekend and now my car, Blue, is not
happy. I don’t know what is wrong, but I hope it can be fixed before
Thursday because I really was getting excited about East Stroudsburg. He
just *has* to be fixed in time. As an interesting story, I have decided
Blue hates to see the Femmes in PA. A year ago, I bought tickets for the
show in my hometown of Indiana PA and left them with my Indiana friends
when I drove back to school so they could use them if I didn’t make it
back. It was a good thing I did, because I had trouble on the drive down
and my car was in the shop when the concert rolled around the next
weekend. How upsetting!! If the show had been one weekend earlier I
would have been home on Thanksgiving break; one weekend later, and I
would have been home on winter break! Then, I also had problems this
spring going to the Lycoming College show. I drove to Penn-State to pick
up my friend Kate, and we ended up taking her vehicle the rest of the way
because Blue was sick again. And now this. It’s always the fuel
filter, and replacing it has always made him feel good again, but this
time it didn’t do the trick even though he was experiencing the classic
symmptoms. I just don’t know. Until later, love-amber

Is It Safe to Go Out?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HI everyone. I’m planning on going to the Lisle show on thursday (if I
can get the tix!) and well, I was just wondering if anyone knows what
it’ll be like? it seems to me like the VF shows are getting more
violent as the days go by. that one show had like 10 fights. I’m
really excited, my first show whas the FT. Wayne one, a 4 hour drive.
Lisle is only like an hour for me. well, I gotta get going

ROCK! an Import?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why does everyone keep saying that “ROCK” is an import?? I bought it
at my local record store the week it came out and it was made right here
the the US?? I live really close to S.F. and I see it there now and
then too????????
–
-Pat. says: I looked at the liner notes, and it says that the CD was
recorded and mastered in the US, but Liberation Records
is an Australian company. So it was in fact made here, but
Liberation in Australia put it out. I had to order it as an
import.
You are very lucky to live near SF, the home of all those
great CD stores. The rest of us outside of Australia had or
are having a very hard time finding ROCK!!!!!, and at a
decent price.
