I talked to 5 people today, all of whom are current or former students at Case, and none of them knew where the place was. We were finally able to dig up a campus map and find it. Also, are any tapers going to the Cleveland show? I'm going to try to tape it if I can talk to Cal, but I have a feeling they'll be skeptical of me since they don't know me. Any suggestions? If you are taping, would you mind me patching into you?

Add me to the list of those who will be attending both of these shows. And I was considering wearing my Flyers jersey to Wilmington anyway, since it's still Flyers Country there, so now it's definite. I'll be in a home jersey, #16 in your program. Also add me to the list of those who were unable to make it to NoHo, but would love to get the tapes if it is decided that it's ok to trade them. - -Alan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Nov 1998 22:11:16 GMT From: nafio@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: It's a review, no it's a quotelist.. surprise!
