Club RE:Guy and Victor RE:Guy and Victor Re: Somthing Eerie RE: New Year's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portland Tix for Sale ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have an extra General Admission (floor) ticket for the Femmes show in Portland. I would rather sell it to a true femmes fan than one of those other fans. No less than $30 will be accepted. If anyone is interested contact: Lilboek ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yahoo! Club ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK everybody there is a club at Yahoo! for the Violent Femmes. Drew will tell you that it's not very active and needs some members with something to say. Other than himself. (Poor Drewery! no sarcasm intended) I thought the club was defunct! Sorry Drew I didn't intentionally abandon you I went to the site one day and it was gone. They must have moved it. The club has a message board, chat room, calander to post events, links page, I think that's about it so come on down talk some take a load off, OK? Later, Kathryn Kittricken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE:Guy and Victor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The only times I have seen Guy stand to perform his percussion skills is during "Black Girls" at both the Ohio Mount Union College show, and the Toronto Ontario Warehouse show. Any other sightings? P.S. By the way, "Black Girls" live is almost as psychadelic as "Never Tell" performed live, both songs are amazing, I can't think of a better time, than being with my brother in the pit, and being the only two people in a 15 foot radius who even knew the lyrics to these songs at the two venues mentioned above! Singing and dancing our asses off to the best live band in the world! Long live "Hallowed Ground" songs performed live. Long live the Femmes! ktgrady ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE:Guy and Victor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <> are you saying that victor didn't? I know for a fact that he did!!! :) Oellablue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: Somthing Eerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ < one night I found a tape with old episodes of "My so Called Life" on it. Well I so happened to press play on the VF self titled album when that Claire girl started dancing around her room for some weird reason. But you have to see this to believe it. It matched so perfectly, you don't even know.>> Um.. If I recall correctly, that very same part you're talking back has BITS laid down on it. if you turned on the volume of your tv, you'd hear it playing. Funny how you were listening to that cd.. bits is the first song!.....Are you sure it was your stereo? -me UEdge2 "Have you stereoized you tv? stereoized? stereoized, is that correct? Thats an odd word. Why do we invent such hard words?" - Adam Clayton circa 1982 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: New Year's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Zippers are fucking great and i would totally LOVE to see both the >femmes and the zippers on the same bill... >I am so fucking hoping they play it, preferably night one, because >offspring is doing it. Yay! I just saw Offspring the other day, they >were FUCKING great! Shit! Look at that, I just used "fucking" as an um, adjective 3! times in like three sentences. That's bad. Anyway...they announced the lineup for this show and as of now, the Femmes aren't on it. But there will be later additions. There always are... if anybody wants to know the lineup, let me know... Nick mypen15 P.S. added: oh sorry...i meant the lineup for the KROQ Almost Acoustic X-mas. In case you wanna know, here it is, so far: Night 1: Offspring Hole Korn Sugar Ray Blink 182 Barenaked Ladies Reel Big Fish Cardigans Night 2: Cake Goo Goo Dolls Everlast Semisonic Brian Setzer Soul Coughing Garbage Billy Corgan Depeche Mode Everybody's prefers night 2, except me. Yeah, the lineup for night 2 IS better, but last tuesday, Offspring just kicked my ass all up and down all over the place and i want to see them again....
