The sum of the ages of Murray, Mike, and Dave is 103. Three years ago the sum of Murray's and Mike's ages was 54. 31 years ago Mike was twice Dave's age. How old are Murray, Mike, and Dave now. 14.

Unless something has changed drastically, you would have to have ordered it quite a while ago in order to get it by late May/early June. It takes a while for orders to get processed at MFHQ aometimes.

The inventory has been reduced quite noticeably lately - no more hats, orange or green tank tops, pins, burgundy web tees... As for the why, I could hazard a guess but haven't heard an official answer. Perhaps it has something to do with the supposedly reduced tour schedule this year. /l (back to paper writing) ------------------------------ Date: 01 May 2000 21:22:21 GMT From: spychicr@aol.compoot (Rai-Marie) Subject: "Allen Town" (To quote the Quill) Review (Warning. This is my first review. Remember, patience is a virtue. ) Allentown. No wonder Billy Joel wrote a song about it. He should have, although, included something about all the streets being one way and it being impossible to get back to where you came from... and getting lost is easy... The Show: No opening band! My friends and I were under the impression that "Godfrey Daniels" WAS the opening act. Just slightly confused. Heh. Whoops. They opened with Early Morning Rain, a first for me, and the first thought was "Wow. This place has AWESOME acoustics." I felt like the music was coming from all around me and from inside of me as well. It was reverberating through everything and it just felt SO. COOL. I guess at orchestra places you have to have acoustics like that, but the music was so thick in the air, I just felt like I was going to explode... Ahhh.... After EMR, they took a trip back into the land of Bargainville. I don't remember the setlist, but Carey already posted it... There was River Valley, BJ, Lazy Boy (which I noticed was transposed... how often do they do that in concerts? Or were they just REALLY flat?) among others. There wasn't much banter, but what there was was HILLARIOUS. I believe the really funny stuff was already mentioned in Carey's review, but I really liked it... And I just thought I'd mention it a bit. I noticed that Jian keeled over on the stage at one point after the "Am I rambling?" line laughing. I bet that, sometimes, they have more fun than we do. ;o) Not much from the C Album. They did mention it and something about 24 more letters to go... And I'm wondering how they would do the "A" album... They did have Pisco and Disco, though, and those are two of my favorites. Okay, is it just me, or is it always a group of teenage/college girls who start dancing? During Michy, a few girls ran up to the front... fishgirls, maybe? I supressed from running until KOS because I was at the Keswick and I was afraid people would yell at us to sit down again. Luckily, that didn't happen, although I felt SO sorry for the people in the two rows behind us. Eep. At the second encore, they closed with the Gulf War Song which was, again, a first for me. I nearly cried and it WASN'T because my asthma was acting up (note to self: Stop bouncing. Hard.) Slowly, people started singing softly at the end, and some people were out of tune... but it was kinda easy to tune them out because they were soft... I was singing along too, but quietly... so only I could really hear... kinda like I do in class. I think that if people want to sing along, they should do so inaudably. I mean, I know some people WERE in tune and everything, but it was probably hard to hear the guys in the first place. Other than that, the song was wonderful. It got a couple of chuckles from people at appropriate places, and that was cool. If you can be funny and serious at the same time, I dig it. My favorite part was, though, how it was so quiet after GWS that you could probably hear a pin drop. It was at LEAST five seconds long... I loved it. :o) --Rai --And congrats to "Deer-dree" who got a mis-pronounced shout out by Dave... No tatoos for you, Dee!

(long) Okay, I've never written a review before but I figure I kind of have to being the "one lonely woman" who was at Bryn Mawr... So to start off, let me say some bits about May Day itself. It was TOTALLY awesome! As was stated at the Allentown show almost all students were dressed in "virginal white." Early on I was dubbed Carrier of Shit and Filmer of Processeions, Maypoles and Mayholes. So I spent much time with a video camera glued to my eye and carrying my sister's and her friends' shit... which was fine since at one point I was carrying a large sword which amused me :) Maypoles most of you probably know a little bit about so I'm going to describe the Bryn Mawr tradition of the Mayhole. As we all know maypoles are rather phallic, so Bryn Mawr, being a womens college has supplemented it with a mayhole: a large pink parachute covered with flower petals. The Mawrters (Bryn Mawr students) make a large circle around the mayhole and link arms. The mistress of the mayhole (or some such title... I can never keep them all straight) then binds the arms of the women with toilet paper representing the patriarchy. A chant begins... "Hey hey! Ho ho! The patriarchy has GOT to GO!" and goes on until the mistress frees one person from the bonds of the patriarchy. That person then goes and frees another and so on until all are free of the patriarchy and run to the mayhole and fling it about sending petals flying into the air. The lesbians and their girlfriends run under and kiss while Dar Williams' "As Cool As I Am" blasts over the loudspeakers. It's a lovely tradition. I love this school. Okay, on to the the concert on the green. My sister came to get me from a play (Macbeth with Star Wars characters) at the Moon bench and told me that she'd staked out blanket space. I asked if it was right up at the stage and she said no, it's a little way back, you don't want to be right in front of the stage. I said like hell I don't want to be right in front of the stage! So she let me inch the blanket forward a bit but wouldn't let me pull it less than about 4 yards from the front of the stage. No one else was up that close though so it left room for dancing. One of Adina's (my sister's) friends came over to us and told us that before the lads even got there the techies had set up the playstation for them. Adina and I fell over laughing. Here is where I insert Mike's setlist: Substitute 1/2 Horse Boss Moon Pisco Early Booty Michy Tureen Sauce Hold King Green Splat Potion - ------------ video.... (not listed) Brown Eyed Girl! So the lads came on to uproarious cheers and opened with Substitute. People started to jump up and dance, many of us doing horas and circle/line dances. So Murray commented that judging from the quality of the dancing thus far the rest of the set will be nothing but midieval hymns... Featuring Dave as the Maypole! I don't remember when exactly, but Jian said it was great to be near one of their favorite cities, Pittsburgh is just great... to which Murray said actually, we're near Boston. Dave said he was glad we'd all followed the Pennsylvania regulation which required that we all stay at least 10 yards from the stage 'cause they just get terrified when people get too close. :) The went into half as much followed by horseshoes. No one wanted to stop dancing, they were trying to get into the groove of horseshoes and dance to it. So Jian starts talking about the campus and how most college brochures have pictures of their campuses, but they're so obviously doctored... Mike chimed in that they actually send pictures of this campus. "We look a lot like Bryn Mawr College!" The comment was made that they couldn't tell if it was a gender exclusive school or if you just needed a really high GPA. Jian was saying that he looked out on the crowd and saw a sea of potential Fidel Castros... which somehow led into I love my Boss, then Pisco. Someone commented on the cherry trees calling them violet.... then getting confused asking what color that was... to which everyone shouted Cherry! Jian said No! That's not cherry! This led to Mike starting a little improv with a nice little beat "Hangin' out on the tarps... on the blankets and the afghans..." So they went into Early Morning Rain and I was happy... but the same story as with Horseshoes, no one wanted to stop dancing. Boo Time notes: May Day Frenzy Mercedes Benzy Brin Marr (sic) Festin' Amazing Kreskin Blooms in Blossom Playin Possom Fail Ya! So Jian(?) called a young woman over and asked her name... "This one is for Claire!" And went into Michy. on to Turreen and Saucep'n which went out to the dining hall staff. At this point Jian said "so I guess we shouldn't do a slow song?" to which everyone shouted No! Adina and I shouted which one? Jian said "I guess we could do a slow song really fast... so they go into I Will Hold On to a sort of upbeat country tempo which nearly made me cry. :( Dave and Jian got about 1/4 of the way through and started cracking up. So Elian led into KoS... while Dave was asking who was curious about his epilogue one woman came up to the stage and indicated for Dave to come over... Jian said Dave, this woman is paging you. She thinks this is an appropriate time to speak to you. Dave steps over to her and hands her the mic and she proudly declares "In two weeks I will have a degree from Bryn Mawr College and I DON'T HAVE A JOB!" and everyone started cheering. Jian then said that of course the King of Spain is offering jobs, despite his working for minimum wage. So KoS led to GE&H which no one but Adina and I seemed to know or expect so we were yelling out all the crazy "woo woo!" (on a train) and NO SPOUSES! and such things and I think she felt very sort of "in the know" for having been to 2 shows and having a crazy fruhead sister. Splatter^2, and Potion which everyone got into immensely. The lads left the stage and shouts of Encore! Encore! filled the green. They came back and went into Disco Bargainville... "I wave a college pal wo says we can pay one price for..." and a really lame callback of "two!" to which I, being really hyper and out of my mind screamed back to the crowd "That sucked!" Someone looked at me curiously and turned to Adina... "Is that your sister?" That amused me for some reason. They finished off with Brown Eyed girl which I'd never heard them do live before. The crowd loved it. Overall a pretty great concert. I then went around giving goodbye hugs and kisses telling people I had to go... "where are you going?" "To the Allentown concert." They looked at me with complete disbelief and awe at how crazy I am. :) Then Amanda picked me up and drove me to Allentown. Hee! "To believe that knowledge is ignorance is noble.

Not fishgirls. These were some really nice people who I hung out with before the show and I shared my hemp and beads with. They were really getting into the music and I could see it was killing them to be sitting the whole time. I didn't get up at first for the same reason (*cough Keswick cough*) and I thought some of the taller people who ran up could have remembered the fact that they were tall and been more considerate (damn tall people) but I think in general it was not as much of a bother as it was at the Keswick. I had to run up for KoS too. And yeah, the singing during GWS bugged me, this sort of constant soft monotone in the background... but yeah, just wanted to assert the un-fishyness of the girls. :) "To believe that knowledge is ignorance is noble.

I know reviews of this show have been posted already, but I promised Lawrence I'd write one, so here it is... and bear with me... I'm tired and stressed and this is my first review. The venue was awesome. Old-lookin all carved up stage... really nice place. *very* comfortable seats.

High points: It was an incredible show. The only negative comment I had was that it started off really slow. They didn't get into any of the songs until Lazy Boy.... and then they picked it up. (In fact, Jian didnt even have the audience sing their designated part in Horseshoes... it threw me off!) In Lazy boy, the harmonies were *tight*... and all of a sudden the energy was there!! Best Lazy boy I'd ever heard! Banter of the night was without a doubt the Neil Diamond teases... a guy in the stage was wearing a ND shirt, and Jian pulled him onstage and was messin with his shirt while Dave played ND... hysterical :) Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary ,but a high energy and fun show nonetheless... I took my little sister and she said it was the best one she's seen yet. Don't want this to get too long, but thats the gist! - -Mocks "By a stream of running water, I heard you laugh.
