Do you have any numbers to call? It is at the Union Block. PEACE.....LOVE.......MUSIC Erin -Pat. Says: I think this show is at the University in Boise. I've emailed the Student Union for more info. If anyone finds anything before me, please let us all know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ San Diego Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the info I got from http://www.superbowlhost.org ,everybody, concerning the 1998 SuperFest XXXII in San Diego: <> Did I mention FREE? You can visit http://www.superbowlhost.org for more information as the dates grow nearer. I hope I see all you SoCal guys and gals at this FREE show in my town, San Diego. Happy New Year, y'all. :-) -Pat. Says: It is my experience that at these festival shows, you may see some of the band members out walking around, before or after their set. If you do, and you decide to approach them, please remember not to be to nutsoid about it. They respond best to intelligent, restrained fans. Oh, and tell 'em Pat says hi. ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Official Homepage Observations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't scroll down on the left side of the page, has anyone else noticed this? The merchandise link is barely visible, and the links link is not there at all! Also, I was checking the lyrics for Sweet Misery Blues and they say could I buy you some <> or something. That's listed twice, so it isn't a typo. What the hell is that? While I'm at it, has anyone entered the contest yet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
