I must admit, up until this post, I always thought it WAS > common.... And yet, ironically, it appears that it is indeed all too common. Sheesh.

E.g. Torontonians commonly say "Tronno" (or even "Tronna") Calgarians say "Calgree" Vancouverites say "Vang-couver", etc. Well, not all of them do, of course, it just seems that once you've lived in a city for a while you don't care as much how it's pronounced. Just a theory.

Dallar. Rawchaster > *g*) Too true! There was this friend of a friend of mine visiting from Minneapolis, and she had this accent that was straight out of "Fargo". I mean, I thought the movie was a huge exaggeration, but now I'm not so sure... Anyways, when we pointed it out to her, she was quite irate: "I do NAT sound like that!" That, of course, didn't help. Appologies in advance to all Minnesotians who speak normally, I'm sure it's not so universal.

Um, to be realistic (working from plenty of experience), I'll be sleeping late as I recover from the Paradise show, getting something to eat in the early afternoon, and heading out to NoHo. So, I won't be there very early. BUT, that said, if I have any time pre-show in NoHo, I'll probably head to a cute little granola-y cafe called Fire and Water just off the main drag (other side of main street from the IH), or browse for books in the used bookstore across the street from the cafe. Could we set Fire and Water as an informal gathering spot? (I promise I'll wear an ng pin prominently - all you have to do is walk up and say hi!) It's not touristy, but it's not too expensive, and I've been wanting to get there for a while, but never have time (always sleep too late, eat too late, and get out to NoHo too late.) - -Zard "www.washme.com" - seen on the back window of a filthy station wagon, heading to Owen Sound, ON ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 23:43:18 EDT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: San Francisco review!

I encountered this thing at Ferron's mainstage set at the OFF. It looked like a cello neck balanced on a tripod, was quite a piece of sculpture, and was used by one of her bandmates (who also plays in a Bay-area band) to create some seriously weird sounds, particularly during a song called Nightmare. It was played both by strumming or plucking the strings and by tapping them to create a percussive sort of keening throb. The coolest instrument I've discovered this year. - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 23:56:56 EDT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: frudegreens Lizzie McCown wrote: >"it's only her love that keeps me wearing this shirt" That's exactly what the original Bee Gees version sounds like. It wasn't until Fruvous recorded it that I knew the real words. So Dad's probably thinking of the 1968 original even when he hears the lads' version ... oh god did I just date myself or what?
