Does anyone know if Basia ever appeared on Saturday Night Live? If she did, maybe there's some video of the episode out there somewhere. Also, I'm sending this message from MS Exchange, so it's kind of a test.

I couldn't believe: 52 messages!!!!! from this list. Now I found me, like said my darling friend Diane. Well, but nobody asked about my home address to send me the dog... :) People, now talking about !!!!!!!! BASIA !!!!!!! (remember? a beatiful singer, from Poland, that sings wonderfuls musics like "Hello, again, it's Me(lissa)"...), what did ALL you think about the photo that I sent on my last mail? From the Brazilian CD version. Anyone talk about it :(. Now, talking about the real and central theme from this list: SLOVENIA, I am going there on the next sunday 19h00 (or 7pm => strange way to say 19h00) and I will go first to Frankfurt (this is a German city => to the people that don't like geography) and after to Slovenia. But I have a problem. Please, attention: ******* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will arrive in Frankfurt at 11h25 (11pm25 (?), I don't know how write this) and the flight to Slovenia is only at 17h30 (pm5:25 (?)). Please, who will take me at the airport and stay talking with me till my other flight? Nice German's women are welcome :). !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now some personal messages: 1) to DON LEUTY: Sorry, I can't help you with the lyrics. 2) to BOB R & PATERSON NJ Hi Bob and hi Paterson. I don't know if Paterson is your friend or your brother. Maybe both have the same e-mail... Nice words, but isn't a touristic trip. And I don't expend my poor money with multi-coloured Indonesian Baktik Shirt - Shorts. I prefer some exclusive-inedit-live-Slovene Basia's cd :). 3) to SIMON ESTILL: Thanx to teach me about Slovenia. You're a touristic guide man. I will listen the Leibach band and tell you after what I think about, ok? 4) to JACKI: Jacki is a name of a Brazilian fruit too :). Like you can see in my messages (with this perfect English!), I am a serious man. I understand everything that you talk about the USA/Europe war jokes. I have no more questions about it. Telling you the truth, is Pato Banton write when say that all American tell the truth?? 5) to ROBERT: I listen sometimes this Spanish Loco Mia group, but Pato Banton says too that the Brazilian musics are better. Do you want to change cassetes? 6) to darling DIANE FISLI: Dear lady Di, thank you for the felicitations that you wrote :). Only you remember that at this list :(. About the Phunny Filip, don't be jealous. He is only PHUNNY, and I like only women, like you, Funny Di. I will send the news from Slovenia as soom I take some e-mail or when I find some nuclear refuge, ok? Oooops! Do you saw my homepage, I think. I know this "How about a smilie or two?"... :) :) :) 7) to PHUNNY FIL: Hello Philip! How are you? Nice words this "it was bound sooner or later". Why not later? Why not at my visit period (Sep15 - Dec16)? Wasn't funny your last message, SERIOUS PHIL. 8) to JEFF WASILKO: Hi Jeff. Don't believe in everything the people write here. Lohr isn't Jesus my friend. He is Colombo. 9) to JUAN: Please, read the iten 8. 10) to PHIL again: Sorry, I didn't know that "That Man From Rio" was a French movie. I know that RIO is here in Brazil, and France is in Europe. Maybe the problem is that I don't know France, and this guy Belmondo (?). I didn't watch this "Notorious" too from this another young guy Hitchcock ( is he a cooker?). But I saw that "E.T." and "The Rock", and "Jumanji" (did you see this? It's great!... 11) to JUAN again: Please, read the iten 2, to BOB and PATERSON, ok? 12) to MELISSA: I liked so much you name :). 13) to BOB & PATERSON again: Please, isn't Slovakia. Is Slovenia. And isn't CopaCabana. Is Copacabana. After I will write you a personal e-mail. 14) to BOB RUMSBY: I will think serious about this Slovene fan-club. I am thinking serious, really. Can you send me some exclusive CDs from Basia to start? 15) to GERSON: Don't you think that you write so much? I know that you have some work to do now!

I don't know... I think, meLohr, that is easier to find some `rare` CD there than in Brazil.

BASIC GOALS MAY BE: A). HAVE FUN. B). SHARE AND UPDATE ALL POSSIBLE "BASIC" INFORMATION ON BASIA. SOME OF US CAME LATE TO THIS LIST AND DO NOT HAVE IT: DISCOGRAPHY, BIOGRAPHY, ETC. AND ALL THAT ENDS WITH "PHY", THIS TASK CAN BE DONE BY OUR EXPERTS ON THE LIST THAT WILL BE THE OFFICIAL "LECTURERS". C). KNOW WHO WE ARE. EVERYBODY ATTENDING THE CONVENTION, SHOULD "REGISTER" TO IT, MENTIONING SOME INFORMATION ABOUT HE/SHE: AGE, OCCUPATION, RESIDENCE, ETC. BY THE WAY, IT MAY REVEAL SOME CLUES OR PATTERN ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIKES BASIA. D). CONMEMORATE THE RELEASING OF THE LONG-TIME-AWAITED "ALL BASIA" VIDEO. E) OTHERS, THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY LIST I AM SUSCRIBED, AND I DO NOT IF THE CONCEPT HAS BEEN USED IN OTHER LIST, BUT SOME IDEAS FOR THE CONVENTION CAN BE: A). ASSIGN TASKS FOR THE ORGANIZATION ON SEVERAL PROMINENT MEMBERS ON THE LIST: SUBJECTS, PONENTS, REGISTRATION FORMS, WELCOME AND FAREWELL MESSAGE, ETC. B). STOP COMMUNICATIONS ON OTHER SUBJECTS DURING THE CONVENTION DAYS (ESLOVENIA, SEARS, COTTON ON THE EARS, ETC). AND CONCENTRATE ON THE SCHEDULED CONVENTION MESSAGES. C) i.e. DAY ONE: REGISTRATION, EVERYBODY ATTENDING WILL SENT THE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED FORM WITH ITS PERSONAL INFORMATION, DAY TWO: DISCOGRAPHY BY "X", BIOGRAPHY BY "Y", SONG WORDS BY "Z", AND SO ON, DAY THREE: FREE CONTRIBUTIONS ON THE THEME "WHY I LIKE THE BASIA MUSIC?", AND SO ON.
