"Be practical", was the choral reply from the dinner table. Well, Laurie Anderson is already Laurie Anderson, but I read an article in Harpers that said there were eleven countries, in the world this is I think, that have queens as sovereign rulers. That's probably my best shot. npimh - aimee mann, `whatever' (finally picked this up and i love it to pieces, probably even more than `i'm with stupid') nr - tad williams, `otherland' Damon Harper des Jumeaux _/>_ "I'm Canadian, actually. damon@jumeaux.bc.ca __\ /__ That's like an American, but Les Jums: jumeaux@jumeaux.bc.ca \ / without the gun." http://www.jumeaux.bc.ca/damon/ |/||\| - Kids in the Hall ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 09:10:20 -0400 From: Jeffrey Burka Subject: Re: bizarre fortune Damonsez: > npimh - aimee mann, `whatever' (finally picked this up and i love it to > pieces, probably even more than `i'm with stupid') I'd go with "far, far superior to _I'm With Stupid_," but maybe that's just me. I've been listening an awful lot to _Bachelor No. 2 (or the last remains of the dodo)_, the 7-track preview ep she's selling at shows. It's a lot more like _Whatever_, and I'm pretty much ecstatic over it. One of these days maybe I'll write something about the show. Or maybe I should just keep packing to move... jeff - -- |Jeffrey C.

Very full of energy and enthusiasm, and seemed grateful to those who watched her performance on the second stage. It appeared that she has a small following of loyal fans, who were mouthing the words to her songs as she performed. And I believe that she met with some of them at the side fence after her performance. She's a wonderful performer!

Yes, it would be nice for Samson to organize a real tour (what other corporate entity would?), but I don't feel like Happy's fan base has much control over that. I mean, Samson knew who Happy was and what she was about when they signed her. How are we going to change their mind? I can't help but feel that a more direct approach is called for here. Happy has agreed to perform at Ectofest - a primarily (exclusively?) fan organized show. Why couldn't an organized group of west coast fans who believe in Happy put together a show? San Francisco Happy Rhodes fans imagine this: Happy Rhodes at Bimbo's 365 Club. Capacity ~400 (seated). Sonically, the best sounding room in San Francisco. If anyone knows what it would take to make this happen, please let me know. If anyone would be willing to put some energy into making this happen, please let me know.

We needed more than 600 votes and so another band is on their way to Chicago, maybe next time (oh, yeah, maybe not, no more Lilith) but wanted to thank all those here that voted, especially Phillip.
