Soon it will contain Bios on the performers, and after the concerts there will be much content added. This will help us to look back on past shows as well as plan new ones Has anyone thought about the " Higher Ground for Humanity " lately ? You Should Hope to see you all soon :-) Rizioule The World of Rizioule Interactive Adventure http://www.homestead.com/rizioule/ "Gathering of Angels" Tour Info http://www.homestead.com/rizioule/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 14:20:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Jason Vierling Subject: ET: NJC:Psycho EDAs and how to protect yourself at Gatherings :) It has become increasingly apparent as I continue my involvement with the Southern California EDAs that a standardized method for protecting onself against the twisted and unruly mayhem at Gatherings might be benefical. I am here to serve and thusly I came up with a few thoughts on the subject of Safe Gatherings. #1 WEAR SUNSCREEN. I know this is a cliche bit of advice, but nothing slows your reaction time and ability to respond to witty reparte like being distracted by having to walk in a way that least creases your skin. In other words, becoming a boiled lobster in flesh tone does not lend it self to good personal awareness. Also the bad mood it brings on makes others more likely to direct bodily harm toward you. Wear Sunscreen. I cite our recent SoCal Gatherings at Balboa Beach and the Ren Faire at Glen Helen Park. You would think it is moulting season for EDAs here on the west coast. Peeling is Icky... #2 TAKE MANY PHOTOS. Photographic evidence is a powerful deterant. Take photos of all deviant endeavors witnessed and escape with them to prove your case and WARN OTHERS!!! Photos will also help you prove the details of your case happened as you say and not as other slanderous folks would have everyone believe. This would have been most helpful for me to have been able prove my story in the now infamous "SYRUP-BOY INCIDENT". I swear I'm innocent..... #3 PLAN TO HAVE FUN. Nothing distracts a body of EDAS from turning on their weakest member like a pack of wild animals (it's not pretty...We lost Lauren that way at the MM Gathering) like FUN. Constant fun and hilarity are key as not only does it occupy the group for a long period of time, but it also wears them out so by the end of the day no one seems to really even notice that it has been 45 minutes since they last saw the Denny's waiter. If that were to happen while invigorated...oh my...I shudder to think it.... #4 HAVE SHINY OBJECTS NEARBY. Proven by our trip to the Rennesaince Faire this past Saturday, EDAS cannot focus on forward thought when presented with dangling glittering objects. Our group must have splintered and reformed in various configurations innumerable times that day due to the ssplendid wares that would snare us into vacant wistful stares . I admit it of myself as well...Only the promise of Pepsi was strong enough to draw me out of my reverie. #5 KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON. Unattended Clothing tends to find its way up signposts and/or going home with others in their vehicles. Note..towels do make a reasonable short term replacement for clothing...but it does raise eyebrows at the Denny's later. #6 GIVE GROUP HUGS. Group hugs are safer as they are easier to break from. However, they have the potential to be dangerous if one is caught in the mush pot position amidst a group hug. Watch for this. #7 NEVER LET TOM MILES DRIVE. Just like it says peeps. They wrote involuntary manslaughter laws based on his exploits. Beware.... #8 GO IN DISGUISE. Lori (Yeah its period dress, what of it?!) Arthur and Mike (I have blue hair?) Carmona both proved the effectiveness of this ploy at the Ren Faire. They are both very cunning and wily ..... At this point I would like to thank all the EDAs and friends that particitpated in our recent Gatherings and supplied the basis for my ongoing research. I encourage othe EDA scholars conducting field research to write in and lend their expertise to these safety guidlines...I hope to be able to confer with you all soon ....

(Vancouver show) Halo Angels, Well, today I passed by the Ticketmaster window in my town and just out of curiousity sake went in to see on their maps where my friend and I will be seated in GM Place in Vancouver on July 2. My friend bought the tickets in Vancouver and was told he got the best seats available closest to the stage. On the map I looked at today and on the info in the computer I was told that the stage would be facing the other direction in turn we would be placed BEHIND the stage. Close yeah, maybe....Best....NOT! Can someone please tell me if you know different. If anyone has been to GM Place before and are more familiar with the concert bowl set-up there can you please email me....I'm devastated! One other thing, (Mr BB?) does anyone know if Nedra or Mr. BB will be attending that concert in Vancouver, Canada on July 2nd? Thank you, Erin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 15:41:04 -0400 From: Mandabear Four Subject: ET: so long for now... I'm not going to be here from 6/18-6/26 cuz I'll be on vacation so if you don't hear from me, that's why. There have been things going on at home lately and I don't know how much longer I'll be here so if you don't ever hear from me or not for a long time..it's probably cuz I moved. I'll talk to you all later though. <3 always ~Mandabear~ The Forever Seeking Teen Angel ________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail you don't need Web access to use -- Or get full, reliable Internet access from Juno Web!
