Dating Days Summer Fest '99 Welcome to American Music ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I warned you, didn't I? Maybe you didn't believe I was really back and ready to post AM in all its glorious former frequency. The welcome form letter is at the end of this issue, as there weren't many submissions over these past two days. Those of you who have not yet seen it should read it now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Femmes In Chicago ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q101 in Chicago is saying that the Violent Femmes will be playing a free concert at Excalibur in downtown Chicago. It will be on the Mancow show Friday morning, the 29th. I'd love to give more details, but this just came out of the blue, and there isn't much time before the appearance. Brian Teutsch b-teutsch -- Brian Teutsch <http://www.cs.nwu.edu/~brian/> -Pat. Says: Q101 does have a web page and an internet simulcast. For those of you who want to check it out, go to: http://www.q101.com/index.htm You will need the proper plug-in to listen, so you would be well-advised to be sure you can hear the show ahead of time. The Mancow show is Monday-Friday, from 5:30-10:00 AM. Just remember to adjust your time zone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Could I Have Commissioned a VH1 Special on the Femmes???? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FYI.....I am not entirely sure that this is true, but....I have a friend who works in production at VH1, I was recently getting on his case regarding the fact that we have never seen a damn thing on VH1 on the Femmes....we've seen Quiet Stinkin' Riot, but NEVER the Femmes.... He agreed with me, and about a week later (10/18) he told me that the Femmes were recording a "Hard Rock Live" special in Manhattan that evening. They have not yet set an air date for this hour-long special, but he promised to keep me posted (and I, in turn will keep you posted). Jusy thought you'd like to know.............(let's cross our fingers and hope this is true!!!) gopack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dating Days ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know you don't run a dating service, But I'm in the process of a divorce, and realized ALL our friends are HER friends and I need new ones. I'm a 29 year old male, with 3 children, in the Duluth, MN area. Anyone from the area can find me at "Nobody" and "Average Sun" shows. And of course VF has been my favorite band since about 1983. So if your interested, Write me. opkutech ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summer Fest '99 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi! I have a 2 cd r set of the Femmes live in Milwaukee 8/19/99. Of course it's a soundboard recording, of the entire Femmes set, & with nice color packaging/insert. I'd be happy to trade it for anything Femmes related except cassettes. I'd really love to find more concert videos of them! :) Take Care, Eric erycg ~PLANET BLUE~ http://www.bigfoot.com/~planetblue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to American Music ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to American Music: the Violent Femmes mailing list. The mailing list goes out almost every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and is used to discuss the Violent Femmes, and anything that has anything to do with them. If you want to respond to something that somebody on the list has said, or say something new, please email me (amusic) with the message. You are encouraged to contribute a message whenever you have something to say. I do ask you to please observe a couple of ground rules. Number 1, please do not conduct flame wars over this list. If you have a problem with a specific subscriber, please address him or her personally. Number 2, I check the Official Home Page, Pollstar, and Ticketmaster frequently, and post a complete listing of shows on Mondays. At times when there are a lot of tour dates, Wednesday and Friday issues list only that week's shows. Please do not ask if the Femmes will be playing in your area. If however you find out about a show in your area which I have not listed, please let me know, so I can add it to the show list. Number 3, please do not ask questions about the band members' private lives. Facts about their lives which they themselves have already publicly discussed are OK, and general-type questions too, but I believe that they have a right to privacy, and I will protect that privacy. Number 4, feel free to check the Official homepage and the Unofficial homepage for answers to basic questions. Have fun ... Pat.
