Calgary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just wanted to drop a quick line to find out if anyone else is going
to the Femme’s show in Calgary? It should be a hell of a show. The
Femmes aren’t headlining, but they play second to last. On top of
that, Gordon is playing a solo set early in the day and Guy and Brian
are doing a set together in the middle of the afternoon.
It’s like 3 shows in one !!!!!! : )

Marlboro Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, so I was having a good nap after work and was planning on doing
homework later in the evening and a knock raps upon my door. Tis my
sister and brother in law waking me up from a deep slumber… I, of
course, wake up pissed. I respond in the regular “WHAT?!?!?!” All I
hear is, “The Violent Femmes are playing at EJ’s tonight.” I jump
right out of bed and get dressed. I get out of my room and ask… “are
you sure?” The reply I hear is “yes, it’s the Marlboro show.” So my
sister calls EJ’s and asks how much the show is and they tell her that
the only thing you need to get in is 200 Marlboro miles. Well, none of
us smoke so we were distraught with anger trying to figure out how much
four cartons would be.. and it ended up being over 80 dollars. So we
went to the venue with 10 marlboro miles between the three of us. We
got to the venue and a woman there asked us if we needed tickets. I
ended up purchasing 200 marlboro miles for 20 buck which got me and
my sister in… but we still needed 200 more for my brother in law..
which he got for 10 dollars… (so an average of 10 dollars per person.)
We got in just before the femmes started their set… it was awesome…
It was the standard femmes set with Rainy day women #12 and #35 by Dylan
and the new South Park tune. Cynthia was there again along with Sigmund
Snopek III. After the show they signed autographs. I was able to get
two guitar picks signed. After the show I talked to Cynthia Gayneu and
she said that she has a new album out. I asked her how to purchase them.
I asked her if I could get them through Glenn Gano and she said that if
he did not have them that he could get in touch with her and get the
album.. on the way out Cynthia said ” Bye, Steve” which was the
greatest thrill of the night for me…. anyway… that’s probaby it
until the September show… that was the greatest unexpected thrill of
the summer for me….

P.S.-oh yeah, I forgot this too…
At the show I asked if they had a release date for Freak Magnet yet..
Guy informed me that they would probably release a live album before
that. I then asked if “Reggie’s Right” was going to be on it and Guy
gave a funny little smirk and said that it probably wouldn’t…

i don’t recall having seen this here in the newsletter, but i just read
on the femmes homepage that they have inked a deal with Beyond Records
to release FREAK MAGNET in october!

-Pat. Says: Yes, I told everyone to check out the homepage, but didn’t
say why. I wonder how many people actually did.
I’ve searched without luck for a URL for Beyond Records,
or even anything about it. Anyone have any info about this
company?

Doesn’t Gordon state on the inside cover that they didn’t actually play
the song….i thought he said that the record company has another band
to do it…it happens all the time…
-vulture
-Pat. Says: What Gordon said was a joke, and everyone’s been explaining
it ever since.

Hello from Yugoslavia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi everybody!
Things have returned to normal around here, and I wanted to send hellos
to everybody on the list. Thank you Pat for posting my message a few
months ago. If I knew it would almost start a flame war, I would never
send it (well, maybe I wouldn’t make it so radical). O:)
Anyway, “politics & dirty tricks..” the rest you know.
Here comes the VF question: I’m searching for a concert video I saw a
few years ago. I can’t remember much of it, but I do remember that Gano
let the camera man sing “Blister in the Sun”! 🙂
Please, help me identify the video, because I don’t know what to
look for.
Thanks in advance,
and many greetings from Belgrade, Yu
Viktor
