SEATTLE SOLD OUT The Chicago Show RE: Buy ROCK and Mercy Seat New Album Release Date Unofficial Homepage Moved ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Junk from Pat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About the new site for the Unofficial Homepage, if you can't access it with the address James has given, try http://206.103.163.50 I know that works. About the Buy/Sell/Trade, if you want to alter or delete your submissions, please let me know. Auction news: when I looked last night, the high bid stands at US$130. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEATTLE SOLD OUT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey Pat, Well, I guess you can remove me from the Seattle show list... By the time I found a ride the concert was already sold out... :( Your "Good Friend", ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Chicago Show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn't go to the party because I'm under 21, but I heard that the other band(Monico) didn't show up, there wasn't enough food and drinks, and it turned into a big mosh pit, so the museum people were really pissed. But if the Femmes were there, it couldn't have been that bad! - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Buy ROCK and Mercy Seat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is one slight problem with the website that I wrote in about. It may not very well have the two albums I talked about. It does not tell you if the album is available. I suppose you must give it the command to buy and the adminstrator will reply to you if the album is not available. I am terribly sorry if they do not have these albums. The address is http://iseek.com/webspins/spinfrm.htm Sorry for any inconvenience. Carrie Hinkley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Album Release Date ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ is there a date set for the release of the new album?? thanks. Ryan -Pat. Says: According to the Official Homepage (Check out the new letters), a June release date is expected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unofficial Homepage Moved ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm taking over Mike Merryman's Unofficial Violent Femmes homepage, which I will try to get up (probably at http://vf.scopemag.com/) this weekend.
