I had heard they were playing a LLP date in Ohio but I didn't know about any other dates.

Who is Dahmer? Jeffrey Dahmer is a serial killer from Milwaukee, who apparently cut up the body parts and ate some of them and did gross things with the others. He confessed, and was sentenced, and then was killed in jail by a fellow inmate with a broomstick that bashed him upside the head. >2. What exactly is Blister In The Sun about?? (i have my own theory, but >i won't post it yet for fear of embarrassment and ridicule!) i think its about masturbation. Has that tone. >3. Does anyone know if any of the Femmes are diagnosed with Bipolar >Disorder (manic depression)? I've been finding out a lot about the >disorder lately and it's just struck me how well their music seems to >"fit" a manic depressive personality... I have no clue. Post more about it and maybe we can decide together...: >4. When oh when are they coming to Australia????? i have no clue...

Hey! Am I in the right place to see my message posted in ROCK!? I've been getting the digest for about a month now and am just now trying the waters. I wish I had known about the VF home page about 5 months ago, listing the concerts so I could've seen them when they were down this way in March. I didn't think they'd EVER come to North Carolina so I gave up any hope of ever seeing them again when I moved here from Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. Is anyone else out there anywhere near NC? Enjoying the digest.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
