Nobody has anything to talk about! I would not have posted today's, except Monday is Buy/Sell/Trade day, and since I haven't posted that in a week or so, I thought I'd better do it today. If I only have two or three posts by Wednesday, I'll hold off till Friday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All in All ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey! Just going to start off by saying my name is Jason, I'm from Mesa Arizona and I completly love the femmes. I've even got a picture album with all the covers(most are photo-copies though). I was a little upset when they came to Tempe last year(er, 1996) because of the 18+ limit on things.Anybody else from here as upset about that as I am? okee, with that out of the way, i'd also like to throw out there just how much i love American Music(yes, I mean both the list and the song). But I was wondering, why is the list still listed on the offical homepage as Rock! It has been a while since it got changed. okay, that's my .04156 planck masses at 14 degrees centrigrade(yeah, i meant the weight of 2 pennies on the 3rd moon of saturn) - -Pat. Says: I wrote the homepage when the name changed; they must have received so many letters they didn't realize the utmost importance of that one. If David is a subscriber and is reading this, please alter the link! And while you're at it, could you put a scroll feature in the left hand column? I disabled all my tool boxes and still could not see all the choices. And while I'm at it, Mike, could you please change your unofficial homepage? James says he doesn't mind constantly sending me subscription requests he is STILL getting after 6 months, but it would be so much more efficient if I could handle them all myself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Web Cast Disclaimer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Again! ......a disclaimer for the photos on the page now-those were the live photos which I did not do. They have not gotten to putting mine up there yet-that's the biz.....Stay tuned.... http://www.wavepress.com/roseparade/ -Cheryl - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
