Ok, I was quelling my anal compulsions and was going to let this go, but if we are going to continue to use this term, we better get it right. Um, it is melanin-challenged. Melanin is the skin pigment. Melatonin is the sleep-related chemical. You can buy bottles of it at health food stores. It assists (supposedly) in deeper sounder sleep. Of course some of you out there (especially a couple of the IRC fixtures) seem indeed to be melatonin-challenged, but that is a different issue entirely.

Well, if vehicles count, then I'm in. I've spent the night in Aerosmith's tour bus (they weren't in it at the time), and eaten their leftover munchies (Doritos, to be exact).

Regarding EVER performed (someone Canadian correct me if I'm wrong here) I believe that all the Bargainville songs were played during the Bargainville tour.

Okay, I admit that my ears perked up at the mention of Denver Int'l. But it was Chicago that made me cringe. I feel for you. For reasons that remain rather vague and disconcerting, rob! and I were waylaid in Chicago for what seemed like and interminable number of hours en route to Denver ealier this autumn. True, we didn't miss a Früvous show as a result of this particular airline glitch, but we DID miss the moe. show we were going to see. And *they* were the ones paying for us to get out there. I think I can speak for both of us when I say there was *great* relief when we managed to get our return trip via Dallas/Ft. Worth instead of Chicago... I'm just glad you had someone to stay with in Chicago! : ) leah. nb: I have nothing at all against the city of Chicago, or even O'Hare. I'm simply sure that the next time I visit either, it will be via pavement or rail, NOT air... ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
