Newark? LoDo Info? State Songs Louise Attaque Tonight Typo Where to Buy Freak Magnet? To Providence... RE: Faith Dance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the Hell Are They Coming Back to New Zealand????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ just when are they coming back? i was about 16 when they were last in nz and at the time i was grounded....excellent huh? i have loved the vf's since i was about 13. i am now almost 21. i am yet to see them live. i am getting pissed off. please pleassse please tell me if they plan to come back here. didn't they find some lost song they had recorded last time they were here? if i don't get to see them soon i will lose faith. vf's get me through exam time...they get me through stress. when i'm having a hard time i put on vf and sing at the top of my lungs the whole album. then i am fine again. i need to see them soon. maybe nobody else cares, but this is important. lisa lisa_125 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Newark? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just received my tickets for the june sixth show in newark, nj. does anyone happen to know who else is playing and what time the femmes are going on? thanks a lot. -kara ChewVitC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LoDo Info? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I haven't been able to figure out how to get tickets for the Denver "LoDo" show. (I'm hoping that's pronounced "Low Dough" :) Anyone have any info? Also ... I'm trying to convince Amber and Deana to fly out to Vegas and we'll road-trip (with my roommate and I) from here to Denver ... so if either of you are out there ... you've been invited publicly now! Back to "busy at work"/lurk mode. Thanks! --James # James Welborn (JW1560) http://www.vegas.com/> # Nevada's Largest Website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ State Songs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm curious are the femmes doing as many state songs at their shows. they did the MS state song and the RI state song, does anybody know of anymore. love mike mdixon -Pat. Says: They did the PA state song in E-town. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Louise Attaque ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, In the Paris concert, Gordon has sung "savoir" from the French band "Louise Attaque". Nobody, including me, knew the song very well around me. Recently, I heard the album of "Louise Attaque" and I was charmed by the music (not the French lyrics). And surprise, on the sleeve of the CD, it was written that the album was *realised* by Gordon Gano. I don't know what is really to *realised* an album (to mix? to record?), but he didn't write the songs. The album was recorded in Brussels, Belgium (my city :) Funny! Alexandre adobly -Pat. Says: Thanks to my much abused and horribly dog-eared Bantam French-English Dictionary, I see that "realiser" can also mean (in movie lingo, and probably music as well) "to produce". So Gordon was the producer? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tonight Typo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey Pat if you own the Tonight Single look inside the cover at Brian Ritchies name and in the text where it says the instuments it lists the didgeridoo in track 2 but in reality Didgeridoo is track 3----Just a litte screw up i found interesting Nick Parr parr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where to Buy Freak Magnet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hey everyone! awhile ago someone sent a post that told of a link to a website that you could order Freak Magnet- i was wondering if anyone knows what that website's URL is and if there is any othe rplae i can try to get freak magnet for a reasonable price thanks -Mike Subaddict ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Providence... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in the may 19 issue, ron said he had an add it up tattoo...i was just wondering if that was the lupo's show, cause a guy named ian had the same thing happen to him... just curious.. Potatoe482 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Faith Dance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ << pepple may never learn to do the FAITH DANCE >> i would still love to see a picture of it. also, i am still willing to send a picture of my dog doing the butt dance, which is best done while playing either latin music or mirror mirror i see a damsel. ~shannon Fraggle3 -Pat. Says: I seem to recall that Drew sometimes visits family in Philly? If so, maybe that would be close enough to you so you could arrange a meeting in a crowded public place in order to see the famous Faith Dance. A world-famous instructor from our town coined the phrase "each one teach one". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
