I opened the Tucson Weekly yesterday to see that the femmes are playing at the Rialto theatre on the 17th of September. This surprised me, as I had seen no info on this at all until I read the add. The tickets are going on sale this Saturday. You can definately add me to the list of Who/Where for Tucson (sadly I will probably be the only one). Chris Staley ChrisS -Pat. Says: I checked Tucson Weekly Online, and several other places, but have not found confirmation of this date. Thanks to everyone who has been finding out about all these shows lately! Everybody, please listen to your radio stations and carefully inspect your newspapers. Who knows, we may find more shows! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Checking In ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey everybody!! I recently relocated to Hawaii, so this is the first time in 2 months I've been able to check my email. I think anything over a month old got deleted, so I have no idea about what happened with the compilation video. I'm really eager to see it though! I'm really pissed that the Femmes aren't willing to come out here- I feel like I'm going through withdrawal or something. On a random note, I'm currently employed as an extra for Baywatch Hawaii which is kind of cool and exciting.. I met Michael Bergin and David Hasselhoff on the set. David's got the worst chicken legs I've ever seen but he's actually very friendly. I'm going to a bbq at his mansion next week. Weird, huh. If there are any mailing list people in Hawaii, drop me a note! I hardly know anyone out here!! Danica Gluegirl -Pat. Says: Summer has been hell, for me and I think Deana as well. We have not distributed the videos yet. Sorry about all the delay, folks. We'll get it out though, I promise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian the Actor? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I went to the San Diego comic con and met some guy who was in a movie with Brian Ritchie. I wasn't aware he acted. Also I am going to 9/11 show. 5 days after my B-day. cool. rpouder -Pat. Says: That movie is probably called Red Eyes. I will be getting a copy of it in the next few days. When I've watched it, I'll tell you all what it's like. BTW, awhile back, someone mentioned that Guy was listed on the internet movie database. I'm surprised noone commented further on that. Did anyone go out and look for Agnes of God? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 98 Degrees ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out what I found at livedaily.com: "Sometimes opportunity knocks in the weirdest places. The Violent Femmes got their break while performing for a crowd waiting to get into a Pretenders concert-Chrissie Hynde came out and watched, and invited the Femmes to open her show. The story of 98 Degrees is similar; they tried to weasel their way backstage at a Boys II Men show, and their unsuccessful attempt got them an on-air interview and performance at a local radio station." the Femmes in an article about 98 Degrees. Weird, man.... Nick mypen15 P.S. the article is at: http://www.livedaily.com/archive/1999/9908/wk4/Family_Values,_Live,_98_D.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KROQ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KROQ in L.A. is doing their Labor Day best 500 of the 90's countdown. American Music is one of the nominees. I encourage everyone to vote for it because let's face it, this song is honestly nowhere near the top 500 most POPULAR songs of the 90's. So everybody, go to: http://www.kroq.com/promotions/topsongs/index.html and vote for American Music.
