(Just kidding). I haven't always been an Edhead from OH -- I got hooked while living in NC, and like Rhiannon, I criss-crossed the state to catch shows. I now have to travel greater distances to catch the band since they've never played southwestern Ohio, but I'm glad that I'll be in LA when they are in November. . . __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Our whole family loves EFO and we see them any chance we get. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 16:47:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Katie Stohlmann Subject: Re: cruise I'll go next. My name is Katie, I'm 20 (almost 21) and I livfe in Santa Rosa, CA/ San Francisco, CA. I've been itno EFO ever since Rhiannon told me about them and I've seen them one time, at the Kuumblah Jazz Center last November with LucyK. It wa a magical show. I work at a radio staiton and I always bug the folk DJ to play EFO on Saturday afternoons so if you ilsten to KRCB on Sat afternoon and hear EFO, chacnes are I said PLAY EFO or I won't be your slave anymore. :) I'm excited that they are coming back to NorCAL very soon and i will either be at the Santa Cruz or Berkeley show. I'm trying to convince said folk DJ to come with me to Berkeley. We'll see. Have fun on the cruise! katie Katie Stohlmann stohlman@sfsu.edu http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~stohlman ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 20:52:06 EDT From: JRaimo007@aol.com Subject: Re: cruise Hi. My name is Jim Raimo. I'm a 31 year old guy from Connecticut. I saw EFO for the first time in Northampton, MA a few years ago when they opened for Vance Gilbert. The energy they showed was captivating. So much so that I followed them whenever they came to New England. They don't get up here too often, so I make an effort to go see them whenever they come this way. Sometimes, however I have to travel to see them. (ie, Nassau). I work at a Radio station also. I've been there about 6 years. Mostly scheduling commercials and billing and stuff like that, but recently I'm getting into the On Air Disc Jockey thing. They don't let me play any EFO, though. It's a Mainstream Adult Contemporary station. (WMAS 94.7, if anyone's interested in listening in. We stream on Real Audio (947wmas.com)). That's my story. - - JIM ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 22:08:39 -0400 From: McCauslands Subject: Cruise Great idea...I'm Shawn McCausland, 29, and I'll be going on the cruise with my wife Andrea, 27, both former Hokies. We live in Manassas, VA and have been hooked on EFO for about three years. Haven't seen 'em outside VA, but never miss a Birchmere show and try to see them when they play Wolf Trap or the Fairfax Fair or other local gigs. My interesting bit of EFO trivia is that they once signed a sonogram for our second son - we had nothing else to sign and had just been to the doctor's that day, so... I'm a long-time lurker who reads all the messages but rarely posts. I think together our favorite EFO tune...well, it's hard to pick one from the CDs, but our favorite live performance was the very first time we saw them, they did an a capella Irish Blessing (maybe that's the only way to do it, I'm not sure) that blew us away. Never heard it since despite much begging and groveling. Can't wait for this weekend - four days without kids, woo hoo! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 20:06:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Nicole Carlson Subject: EFO: Demographics My next message *was* going to be a California Show Roll Call, but that seems to be taking care of itself... :) I'm 22 and a first-year (hopefully final-year) computer science grad student at UC Davis (near Sacramento, CA), where it is currently raining. Right now I'm recovering from a very traumatic teaching experience (all you college students out there--please be nice to your teaching assistants), daydreaming about sun-soaked Carribbean cruises, and killing time until I can eat dinner on Intel's nickel. :) (I love recruiting sessions.) I've been following EFO since their first CA tour, some 3 years ago. As some of you perhaps know, they sing and play pretty well, and I guess they're OK songwriters, and overall, seeing EFO is often more fun than getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick. No, seriously, I try to get in as many EFO shows as humanly possible, ranging as far afield as I can, by any mode of transportation necessary. Preferably dragging a few EFO-virgins along for the ride. My efforts at getting EFO played on the Saturday Morning Folk Show on KDVS ("Eddie WHO?") have so far been a wash, though they did play the Train Song that one time. I used to be one of the only Edheads for miles ("What does your shirt mean?"), but now there's apparently quite a few of us around. I even saw a guy wearing a Logo Shirt one day, on the same day that I was wearing my own personal Logo Shirt--very surreal. Back to the California shows--last year, some of us got together for pizza right before the Berkeley show. Turnout was really low, but we could try again if enough people want to do it. - --nicole twn *** "There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly."--Buckminster Fuller Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn nmcarlson@ucdavis.edu ana.ng@tmbg.org carlsonn@seclab.cs.ucdavis.edu ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 23:27:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Sarah E Robeson Subject: Re: EFO: Demographics Guess I'll take a stab at this. I'm Sarah, and I'm a fifth-year senior in Philosophy and Biology at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. I am originally from Greenbelt, MD, just outside of Washington, DC. My first experience with EFO was looking at the Birchmere listings in the Washington Post and seeing that EFO played often. "I should go check them out, eventually," I said to myself. I didn't get to see them until the summer of 1998 when they opened for Moxy Fruvous at the Columbia Lake Front show. They totally rocked, and I was disappointed with myself for not having seen them earlier. I haven't seen them since then, tho. The last time they were in Pittsburgh, I had to write a really long paper. Maybe they will come back here soon??

Yeah, actually, around Pittsburgh, there is a white VW with cow spots that has an Eddie on it somewhere. If someone out there owns that car, you rock! - -sarah sarah with an h periwinkle at cmu dot edu www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~robeson/ "my beloved one, your eyes shine through me, you are so divine to me, your heart has a home in mine. we won't have to say a word, with a touch all shall be heard. when I search my heart it's you I find, my beloved one." -Ben Harper ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 23:49:56 EDT From: SK1124@aol.com Subject: Older by a year Ok, it's time to step forward and capture the matriarch spot from Suzy Tee. I'm Sue, 45, and live in Texas. I've been reading the postings for some time, but haven't posted yet. Hopefully, I won't be the oldest in the group !!?? I am an administrator for a not-for-profit association that serves the petroleum engineering industry. A friend of mine who knows Eddie (side note: Eddie usually buys a live Christmas tree from my friend's farm ..) turned me on to the group last year with a visit to one of their performances at the Birchmere. I only make it out to Virginia once or twice a year so it was really neat that they happened to be playing at the Birchmere the ONE weekend I was there last year. What a neat group of musicians. We spent some time talking after the concert and Robbie said they had actually booked a gig in Texas until they found out that Julie was pregnant and had to cancel. I bought most of their CD's at the show and then ordered the rest when I got back home. I rotate them in and out of the CD changer in my. The only ones I don't have are Julie's first solo and Robbie's solo. I gather from the postings that they are worth owning. Sorry this is so long, hope it doesn't start a rash of unsubscribes. And, I hope someone steps up to take the "oldest spot". Sue (I love the sig lines on everyone's messages, so here's mine: "Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things!).
