Nobody said much of anything, so I’ve streamlined today’s issue a bit.
Whether or not there will be an issue Wednesday depends upon how many
people write. This would be the perfect time for NON-American
subscribers to pick up the slack because we Americans are preparing for
another day of disgusting overconsumption of food and football viewing.
Oh, yeah. We’re supposed to give thanks for stuff too. Most people
forget that.

Portland Tix for Sale

I have an extra General Admission (floor) ticket for the Femmes show in
Portland. I would rather sell it to a true femmes fan than one of those
other fans. No less than $30 will be accepted. If anyone is interested

New Year’s Part 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PUT ME ON THE LIST FOR THE NEW YEARS SHOW!!!!!! WOOHOO!!! I am soooooo
happy!!! I wish everyone on the list could feel all the love I have.
The past week and a half have been the best of my life. I went to see
my best friends in California (one goes to Stanford, the other to UC
Santa Cruz) and have decided to move out there next summer. While I was
at Stanford, we were wandering around the campus when we saw a guy
selling used cds in front of the bookstore. I was fortunate enough to
find HALLOWED GROUND (I have a really bad cassette copy which is a tape
of a tape of a tape…). I went to their ‘Freshman Formal’ in a
white/blonde wig. You’d understand how funny it was if you knew I’m
1/2 hawaiian japanese, 1/2 white and have really long dark hair.
At the dance I learned to swing dance and after a bit the dj played BITS
(no surprise there) which was cool, except he played Ice Ice Baby right
after that. No offense to those of you who covet Vanilla Ice… In the
Santa Cruz dining hall, Add It Up was blasting and everyone was singing
or humming along with the exception of Whitney and me, both of who were
screaming at the top of our lungs and dancing around the salad bar
throwing carrots at people and using bread rolls as microphones. The
next night we went to a vegan/vegetarian dinner party and some of the
guys there brought along bongos, a sitar, and a didgeridoo!! Then I come
home, check my email and discover the Femmes are playing New Years in my
area again!!! Life doesn’t get much better than this!! I love you ALL!
Hope to see some of you there. We should all arrive early and get to
the front of the arena. Kinda sucks that it’s such a large venue. Oh
no! That means there will be lots of drunk jocks. Who cares.. I’m so
excited!!!!!
much luvins,

<< THE TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMORROW MORNING AT 10AM!
The lady I talked to at the box office said they have sold out several
concerts lately in less than 15 minutes. You may want to send out a
special bulletin.>>

I am going to vomit. I was just so excited and now I’m on the verge of
tears. I just got home last night and didn’t have access to a computer
in CA, so I had no idea about the New Years thing. I have a few friends
at the University it’s taking place at, 2 of which I work with, so I
just called them and we are all on a mission for those insanely priced,
but much coveted tickets. Maybe I’ll just wait outside their bus and
force them to give me a VIP pass… hey, who knows, they’ve given me one
before… twice, now that I think about it.
Oh well, I’ll try to be optimistic about the whole thing. I will get in.
I don’t know how, but I will get in. 🙂

-Pat. Says: I have no idea of the availability of tickets. Are you
saying that they are already sold out?
Well, I think I’d better say here that you can’t force the
band to give you VIP passes. They do that when they want
and to whom they want. I’m happy for you that you’ve been
able to get backstage a couple of times, but I’m sure you
don’t want to give anyone the wrong impression as to how to
get backstage.
As far as this New Year’s show is concerned, I’d be willing
to bet that they won’t be giving those backstage passes
out before this show. With two other bands on the roster,
and it being New Year’s and all, I’d imagine the guest list
will be as full as the venue operators will allow, with
friends and family members.
This is my opinion, but it is a sound one.

New Year’s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why would the Femmes play with a swing band(Squirl Nut Zippers) and a
ska band(Pietasters) on New Year’s Eve… and they’re not even
headlining. The Femmes have had 5 (in Southern California anyway) radio
hits compared to the Zippers 1.

And getting completly off topic has anyone heard anything about the
Femmes playing KROQ’s Acoustic Christmas? They are playing in Portland,
OR a few days before the speculated date…

Updates on My Webpage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK,
I’ve been doing some major work on my webpage. I’ve set up a video page
with links to clips of Machine, I Held Her in My Arms, and Children of
the Revolution. I’ve also put some quick run downs of all the other
videos that they have done that I know of. I’ll probably do something
for No, Let’s Start Over soon. If I missed anything feel free to e-mail
me. Also I’ve been working on the individual pages for each member.
Since I haven’t been able to find anything for Guy, I forced to put in
some mindless space filler on his page. (heh heh heh heh <~~~~my evil
laugh). So stop on by put your feet up, sign the guestbook, join the
mailing list, sell me your sou…. um I mean…ahhh… nothin’
