Says: yup. I'm slipping. See this date today in the tours section. Thanks, Renata. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ okay. you said that there is a concert at nicks on the third of march, shown by pollstar, but i went and looked it up.. and it didn't show up.. does it exist? ashlee -Pat. Says: The March 2, 3, and April 20 dates are Absinthe dates. Absinthe is a band made up of various past and present members of the BoDeans. Guy used to be in the BoDeans, performed on the recently released Absinthe album, and will be appearing with Absinthe when not touring with the Violent Femmes. At least, that's what he told Marylee. If you do an Absinthe search on Pollstar, you'll find the Nicks date. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kutztown Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ here's what i found on the Kutztown U's website.. I know a lot of people were asking about it: http://www.kutztown.edu/admin/studact/concert.html rxs318 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ohio Northern Info Needed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i am interested in going to the concert at Ohio Northern, but I am uncertain about how you buy tickets through the official homepage or polstar. If you could help me, i would greatly appreciate it . Thanks so much! shad50 -Pat. Says: You can not buy tickets through the Official Homepage or Pollstar. Those places just list shows. You will have to contact Ohio Northern for ticket information. Good Luck; my email to them was ignored. NEVIN! it looks like we're counting on you for info! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Happiness Is... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, happy happy happy me.... after waiting practically my whole LIFE, I finally get to see the Femmes live!!! I got 7th row, center section floor tickets to see them at Ann Arbor, after only an hour wait!!!!! Yay yay yay!!!! -Andrea alexa135 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Just a Couple of Things... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in response to Robert Pouder, i would ask gordon: "so why really do birds sing?" he'd probably have a clever answer to that one. but now that i think of it hes probably been asked that a hundred times...id ask it anyway :) ~shannon Fraggle3.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Johnny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Someone recently wrote the list about Johnny, how good a song it is and wondering what it's about. Since I've been in the States for a few months now and having read about a gazillion civil war books in that time, I was wondering if it might have something to do with the civil war/johnny rebs, etc. Just a thought. And you'll all be pleased to hear that I have a new acoustic bass to replace the one united's baggage handler kurt cobained on.
