You all are welcome to send something to my address but I will leave early Monday morning so it would need to be here by Saturday. If it comes after... I could send it on to someone else who would try later. If it were sent today or tomorrow then it may be able to make it... not you, Desianto...but anyone in the states. If you email it then I could print it and take it but it may lose that little homemade feel of a HAND written letter. My address is Thelma Gunter 112 Parkdale Dr. Greenville, SC 29611 funniest@bellsouth.net One week ! ! !

Everyone in the US, let's be sure to get the hook up today and show our support! I'm so relieved to finally have people know what the heck I'm talking about without me having to say, no, it's on import... LOL Quick note: apparently the later tour dates I have on BasiaWeb are so new they aren't even known by the venues themselves, haha! Yes, they are real. Yeah, you should keep your ears peeled and tell me if you hear anything. I know it's frustrating, I'm in the same boat. :D To make things a tad bit easier I checked them today and marked off the ones where you will be met with cluelessness if you call them, like some have tried to do. Those of you on the early part of the tour are super lucky, because you are getting tix before the album release and are sure to get good seats! I hope I won't be SOL in terms of seats by the end of May, hahaha! By then the buzz will be in full effect... Alrighty then! - --Leslie Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Nice to see you're still around Phil. It's the same ol' life in my little corner of the world. Saw Peter White in January (is Diane still around?). Bought a cool picture of him and told him I might as well get his autograph since I've seen him about 6 times, so he signed the pic. Basia's coming to the same place Peter was at, the House of Blues at Disney... which was way cool, small and intimate. I hope she makes herself accessable to autographs... she can sign my hanky after I wipe the drool off my face. At the very least I hope they're selling t-shirts. I bought one the only other time I've seen her perform and one day it disappeared. Only years later did my daughter tell me that she wore it, poked a hole in it and threw it away before I could see it. (Ahh, kids... gotta love 'em... but only because at 24 it's too late to trade 'em in) Jacki ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V10 #46 ***************************
