Absolutely worth it. It's a rather short book, but one of the most moving stories I've ever read.

I can't think of anyone that's had more than one mainstage show at FRFF in the past couple years anyway, and I don't see any on this year's schedule. - - Jason ------------------------------ Date: 11 Jul 1999 13:01:36 GMT From: bbwminors@aol.com (BBWMinors) Subject: RE: Thornhill visuals I actually contacted the guy selling the CD and indeed he confirmed that he would send the copy out as soon as the money was received and/or check cleared. Bidding ends July 15 so anyone who really can't wait is welcome to go ahead and bid but form my end this is no different than buying a bootleg since it was a free radio station copy and I doubt the seller is going to give $15 to Fruvous (I can't blame anyone if they do, who wants to wait an extra month, BUT I hope whoever does buy it also buys a copy at a store so Fruvous isn't losing out on sales).
