Its been a while since I have posted to the list but I have still been reading posts almost every day. The last I posted was right before the my musical appearance on the Internet TV show Local Solutions. ( Did anyone see it?) Since then I have been very hard at work on my new Entertainment website http://SanDiegoNightlifeandEntertainmentNews.homepage.com I have teamed up with Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, The Coors Amphitheater, the San Diego Sports Arena as well as Several major Record companies to give away free concert tickets. Our first mailing goes out this Weekend! E-MAil me at SDEntertainmentReview@hotmail.com if you would like to win tickets.We will have new tickets about once a week. If you don't live in SoCal and couldn't get to the shows, it probably wouldn't make much sense to email me unless you want to win them for scal friends.(duh) Any of you who are musicians are welcome to send me info about your act and I will try to include you in the musician and bands section even if you dont live in SD or SoCal.( Who wants to put geographical borders on music right?) I just found out about this new Jewel concert so I will see what they say about some tickets on that. No promises though. I will definately try to cover the event for the review section. ( Despite havng photo passes to the NRDC event in LA, I was not able to make the show, I was very disappointed but thats how it goes sometimes) I am also looking for a couple of people with excellent writing skills to do concert reviews occasionally. If you live in the area and would be interested in writing reviews, let me know at Rizioule@hotmail.com and we'll discuss it. If you haven't been to the site yet, please feel free to visit at http://SanDiegoNightlifeandEntertainmentNews.homepage.com and let me know what you think. I would love it if you guys would visit the new AEIOUniversity site that you see links to on the website. This would make a perfect long term EDA project that could really make a difference in the world. As you will see by visiting the site, this is an immense undertaking and is something we could all help to make a reality. Project Coordinators and Team Leaders are what we need right now, so if you would like to be a part of this, please contact me after you have seen the site and have a better understanding of the objectives. If you have opinions or comments about AEIOUniversity go on and discuss them on the EODA list, so that we can maybe get an idea of a direction to take on this wonderfull humanitarian project. If we can get this efort launched successfully, I have an even bigger surprise down the road that will someday provide us all with FREE ENERGY! Give Us The Power! This project is one of my biggest lifes goals and almost everything I do including my music, my magazine and all other resources I can garner, will eventually be used to make this dream a reality. Well I've said a mouthfull, I should stop now before this email becomes a short story. Hope to hear from many of you soon! Our dreams, like a roadmap, lead us to our true destiny.

Around Christmas (i know it's a ways off) I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out by saving up a couple extra dollars, going out with me to buy stuffed animals and such, and going to local adoption homes (around Flint, MI) to spend some time with the kids. I also want to organize a group to work at a soup kitchen. If anyone is interested, please email me with "project" in the subject, and I would love to get back to you on that.

I am interested in having some angels or all of you that I can bounce ideas off of. Especially since most of these are not finished.....As I write them I would send them out to those who respond and they could tell me what they think. I have many different styles that I write in but mostly they have a "jewelish" style to them and i would try to discribe to the best of my ability so that you understand what the song will sound like......If you are interested in helping me please email me privately.....if a lot of people respond I will just post them to the group.....Here is a sample Night cowers underneath a cruel dark sky Wind whips up my hair as thunder storms by As it gathers me into it this whipering wind I whittle out a piece of my soul and invite you in I yearn for a place for my heart to be sanctioned and safe want a haven from lifes little heartaches Want you to dig in Deep under my skin and live inside me Sweet Serenity C 2000 Aangel AKG if you like this one let me know (it's not finished) Thanks Aangel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 14:51:48 EDT From: Tudegirl08@aol.com Subject: ET: Don't Please don't Just don't do this to me If you say you're going to call then follow through If you're not, at least AT LEAST have the DECENCY to let me know One minute it would take to let me know "hey, things changed, I won't be around" Don't be a dick the next day like nothing happened like it never crossed your mind like I never crossed your mind like you intended to forget now it's "see ya around whenever" whenever it's convenient for you? No, you had me last night where were you then? Does it make you feel good getting a rise out of me? Does it make you feel like more of a man knowing that I still care? well how bout if I don't Don't make me feel important when I'm clearly not anymore Don't make me the girl who only holds your attention for a moment at a time Don’t do things like this to me Just don't ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 15:56:28 -0400 From: "Seth D. Fulmer" Subject: ET: I hope you never fear(poem) hehe :) Hi!! *waves* :) I'm sure you all(or most of you) can tell who this is about ;-) I am soo tempted to just go out and tell the whole world...This feels soo awesome...I don't know if I've ever felt this genuinely happy in my whole entire life. But like...I dedicate this to Stephany :) Comments and all that jazz are welcome but not required. If you people don't wish to receive my poems, lemme know and I won't send them to you :) Take cares and Have a Great Day! :o) -Seth ============================================ I hope you never fear by Seth D. Fulmer 7/15/00 I want someone to love me dear to kiss me softy to tell me they care to listen to me when I had a bad day to hold me all night when I can't sleep You, my girl, are an angel so to speak You lack the wings and halo for the job but you've been heaven's gift for no reason Making me feel special like God's special child Little did I know when I woke up that day The sun would shine brightly, a spotlight on me You would appear, looking like a mere mortal but little did I know, you'd have miracles in your basket How do you do it girl? I do not deserve it I really do horrible things, like drink, swear, and gamble I want to get to know you, to make you really happy a dozen roses, a cup of honey, a box of chocolates on the windowsill "I want to live bravely and love without fear" my favorite singer sang just now You may very well allow me to do that I hope you never have to fear anything ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 16:15:38 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: ET: Update: a friend, a fellow list member, an EDA, needs our prayers Hi all :-) First of all, I want to thank all of you who wrote back either to the list(s) or me privately in response to the post I made two weeks ago about a fellow EDA/list-member who was facing the very real prospect of having cancer (a number of you who replied in fact also have battled the disease). I am certain many of you also prayed and/or had Andrea in your thoughts. I of course thank all of you too. :-) I sent each of the list and private emails on to Andrea and she thanks you all too (a personal message from her to all of you is below :-) Shortly after I sent the post , of which a copy is also below, Andrea informed me that the test results showed she indeed had cancer (the results were not a surprise, the news was expected). However, the particular cancer she does have is in fact one of the most highly curable kinds, so there is of course room for much optimism :-) So, with the proper treatment and regimen, and prayers from Andrea's family, friends (in flesh and online), we can all help do our part by continuing to pray and keeping her in our thoughts along with them :-) While Andrea has not been very active on the list the last year or so (one's senior year in high school can do that), she was at time very active on the list, and was quite involved with a number of EDA projects including the official "write the Down So Long video for Jewel" contest and the "20Q - - questions for Jewel" project, and is a charter member of the EDAF (EveryDay Angels Foundation). So many of you may recall her from those days gone by. (By the way, she also was planning on attending this year's EDA/Bearsville 2000 event next weekend until all of this surfaced). Anyway, again, I thank you for all of your replies, as certainly of course does Andrea, whose personal message is next. Mike :-) ___________ A message From Andrea: hi EDAs, I just want to extend my thanks for all your prayers and concerns. I'm sorry I haven't replied to anyone's emails yet, it's been a busy past two weeks. (Having another surgery, recovering, etc.) What's amazing is the kindness of strangers, people who don't know me keeping ME in their thoughts and prayers. You can't imagine how much that means, it has surely lifted my spirits. I still don't know too much yet, I have to have more tests done to see where the cancer has spread and from there the doctors will decide on treatments, but I will keep you all posted. Again, thank you for everything, you are all angels 0:) Andrea Rotter ___________ My original post to the list on June 30th (for the benefit of newcomers mostly): Hi everyone. I first want to preface this by stating that I am not a religious man. I have always said I am not sure if I believe. I am writing this to all of you in hopes that I am 100% wrong, and that our prayers can and will help. So if others of you are out there that are like me and not sure of your beliefs, or even are sure and do not believe, please join me none-the-less to help someone who needs us. Just a few days ago, while chatting with a longtime, yet quite young member of the Jewel/EDA list, I found out that she is possibly facing a battle against cancer. She will find out for certain this weekend when test results are revealed. Respecting her privacy is of the utmost importance to me, so I will not say who it is, of course. However, as I said before, I hope that I am wrong in my unsure religious beliefs, and that we can do our part and help and pray that all works out fine for her. Although she has not been too active on the list in recent times, she certainly used to be quite so. Thus many of you may "know" her via posts to the list (the last time we discussed this, she had only actually met a small handful of fellow list members). While I know sometimes it is hard for people to pray for someone when they do not know who they are praying for, I know you all can do it. So please, join me in praying and/or hoping for the absolute best for our longtime friend. We CAN help :-) Mike :-) : \ / : -- o -- : / \ : .---. .---. : / \ @ / \ : / / / \( ) / \ \ \ : ////// / ' ` --\\\\ : / / / / : : --\ \ \ \ : // / / / /` \ --\\ \ \\ : / / / / / / . . . \ \ \ \ \ \ We are everyday angels. :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 17:34:34 -0400 From: "Seth D.
