But they do, sometimes, not only that, but I do too. what do they really know about their own kids? it makes you wonder. what should they really know? I kissed him, while he kissed her. And he was fading into the crowd with the strove lights making his brain trip more and they are all digging their spikes into their skin, pressing into each other, inhaling crystals, exhaling steam, bleeding life, slipping into happiness & then bleeding life, bleeding into their life. what should they really know, after all? ~~~ s - -- "I guess I'm an underwater thing so I guess I can't take it personally I guess I'm an underwater thing I'm liquid running there's a sea secret in me it's plain to see it is rising but I must be flowing liquid diamonds calling for my soul at the corners of the world" -tori amos * * * girl goddess #5, diva-to-be ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 19:50:40 -0400 From: MrBB Subject: ET: MrBB: More Jewel Auction Info! Hi All, As many of you already know, beginning this Wednesday May 17th, Auctions.com will host the first time ever official JEWEL AUCTION to benefit Higher Ground For Humanity (HGH). There's a massive list of items both small & large included in this auction. A lot more of Jewel's personal items have been added to the list & surprises are guaranteed during the three weeks. I noticed today that Jewel added a set of the Jewelstock pins (remember those?!) along with some other cool EDA-related memorabilia from her own personal collection. And of course, there will be autographed items galore! Hint to football fans: You may enjoy bidding on the official Superbowl Rain Parka & cap Jewel recieved at Superbowl XXXII (where she sang the National Anthem)! I also noticed a Taylor "Jewel" signature series guitar will be on the auction block! And I'm only looking at the auction list for week #1! NEW items will be introduced each week of the auction. This auction is your chance to bid on many highly prized collectible Jewel items including rare tapes (Yes, we have several REAL "Shiva Diva Doo Wop" cassettes!!), rare CDs (including Jewel's personal 1998 Christmas Card CDs with UNRELEASED MUSIC and "Save The Linoleum"!), rare t-shirts (yes, some original Jewelstock t-shirts from Lenedra's private stash), Jewel's surfboard, her mountain bike and the list goes on and on!! There's way too many items to even begin listing them all. Also, don't fear that everything will go at high prices because at the JEWEL AUCTION, you'll also be able to bid on JMerch merchandise that respects humanity & the Earth & buy it at your price! Almost everything at the Jewel Store will be up for bidding, including tour shirts, posters & other official merchandise most popular with fans. The auction will run for three weeks total. It begins at 6:00AM EST on Wednesday & the auction will close three weeks later at midnight (12:00AM EDT) on June 7. NEW items will be introduced each week of the auction. To participate in the JEWEL AUCTION to benefit HGH or to enjoy viewing the auction items online, simply go to www.auctions.com/jewel.asp starting Wednesday, May 17th. It's that easy! Please tell others who might be interested and feel free to post this information everywhere appropriate including Jewel message boards & fansites.
