Please Do Not Go RE: Merchandise Problem Experience ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm not going to even attempt to put out an issue tomorrow, and none of you of the Christian persuasion should be reading it then anyway. Spend time with your families or friends instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: Quote and Poll ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First of all, I was going to write the "quote of the day" today and use CONFESSIONS, but someone beat me to it.... and I love LOVE AND ME MAKE THREE!!!!!!! asliney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not THAT Long... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, finals are over, I'm going home (to my juno account, sorry pat), and I can at last write in to my favorite newsletter about my favorite band. I think Love and Me Makes Three is a stupid song. I hate it. But I asked for it on CD for Christmas anyway cause I don't have a record player at school. American Music. I listened to that song (the whole WDBS album actually) two years ago like everyday when I drove with my friends up to work at the Lafeyette Theater in Suffern NY. You have to see this place. It's like an 1800's opera house turned into a movie theater. I loved it there. They even had a top of the line "Corn-ado" popper there! Anyway I just have these memories of looking at all the people coming with their families to a Friday night movie and this song would play through my head while I sold them all tickets or popcorn. It was classic. -Drew -thenewkid ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please Do Not Go ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And quickly for those who couldn't make it through the first... Please Do Not Go. Golly gosh. I have these wonderful memories of laying on my friend Pete's bed, the two of us sitting there recently dumped and lonely. We were nearly in tears listening to that song. Oh man. Yeah we were. I felt so pathetic. I was the King of All Patheticness at that moment. And Pete was the Jack of Misery. I'd give anything to be back there right now. I don't know why, but even though it was so hopeless it was so poignant too. Thanks Gordon for providing life with a great soundtrack. -Drew -thenewkid ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Merchandise Problem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >I ordered VF stuff from their webpage like a month and a half ago. and >well, it still hasnt come. i ordered a shirt a year ago and it never came!!! Kyle_Souza ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Experience ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a very cool mailing list....I love it already and this is only my first issue:). I have been a Femmes fan for about 4 years now. My friend introduced me to Blister in the Sun and, needless to say, I was hooked. Just this past November my boyfriend told me they were playing at the University of Central Florida's Homecoming. The tickets were cheap and he was paying so I said " What the hell". We got there....AND I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY! We nudged our way up to the front of the stage and Gordan Gano and those BEAUTIFUL blue eyes had me in a trance for the rest of the show. It amazed me when they would play Blister or Kiss Off ....the whole crowd, including myself, sang in total unison....I have never heard a crowd at a concert do that before. It was amazing......I am ashamed to admit that up till that point the only Femmes album I had was the Add it up collection....I made my friend buy me 4 of their cd's for x-mas:P. I can't wait till they come back to Florida.....oh...stupid me....my name is Samantha, by the way, and I am 22 years old. Obviously I live in FLorida....anyone here who wants to just chat about the Femmes sometime just drop me a line....I'm always looking for a fellow fan to chat with:) Love the list!!
