Many college students have thoughtfully remembered to unsub themselves, many more have just disappeared, leaving me the work of trying to track down undeliverables before unsubbing them myself. Many of you have email at home, and have changed your addys. What all this means is, at least from my experience last year, that things might surprisingly get very busy around here. College and high school students who remain have the pressure off, and can write in more. Those of you who have been lurking these long cold lonely nights suddenly find you have a voice, or at least a few tippity tappity fingers. I hope this happens again this summer. If however on a Mon, Wed, or Fri there're fewer than 3 posts, there will not be an issue. It's not worth the work or the stuffing of your mailbox. But that won't happen, will it? Because all of you who are starving for talk of all things Femmes won't let it, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drexel Info Needed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ can someone please send me info on the drexel show...i am planning on attending, but i need to know where i can get tickets. i am going to be in philly the 29th of may for a concert, and am just staying overnight @ drexel...i talked to my friend from drexel and she hasnt heard anything about the show...couls someone please fill me in?! thanks jen -Pat. Says: If you have a friend from Drexel, you're halfway there, because if you're not a student, you need a student to escort you in. I believe the tix may be free to Drexel students and their guests, and there's free food too.

Stage Info: http://www.citystages.org/millerlite.html It will be hot as blue blazes in Bham in late June - ya'll come prepared now 'ya hear! ;O) -ddearry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About That Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hey, pat. just FYI: >She loves a crowd, that's what I hear. actually, the last line is "She's loving some Kraut, that's what I fear." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About That Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Um...not to be picky, but isn't it "She loves some Kraut, that's what i fear"??? Maybe less p.c. but it makes sense in the context of the song. Or am i wrong? joshua -Pat. Says: That was a test. Just wanted to check to be sure people were actually reading the issues. The fact is, the line "she loves a crowd" is from the lyrics section of the Official Homepage. I agree, it sounds more like Kraut to me. I doubt they would change things for political correctness. Maybe from time to time as I find a lyric which is different on the Official Homepage from what I believe the lyrics to be, or from what is printed on the liner notes, I'll post the "Official" version, see if anyone catches the diff. I think Oellablue caught one last summer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
