The voting public will decide whether the new BBS will be more attractive or not. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Moesel" To: Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 9:57 AM Subject: P.S....

John happy - pollstar mail shows EFO playing in Seattle!!!! =20 John not happy - going to pollstar shows that the Seattle date is the same as one of the SC dates. And I don't think they're going to pull a Paul McCartney-Live Aid-Concorde trick playing both coasts on the same day. =20 John not happy still - The Tractor Tavern's and EFO's website don't say anything about Seattle =20 John's one ray of hope - There's a week before the CA appearance that could have a Seattle trip squeezed in. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 May 2003 12:35:12 -0400 From: "Jim Merullo" Subject: Re: Argh! - ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Eddy" > John's one ray of hope - There's a week before the CA appearance that > could have a Seattle trip squeezed in. Does anyone know if EFO ever play in the Pacific NW? I have a dear friend in Portland, OR whom I turned into a HUGE Edhead and she sheds a tear every night knowing they'll probably never play her town. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 May 2003 09:37:13 -0700 From: "John Eddy" Subject: RE: Argh! They did play Tractor Tavern in the past once in Seattle. I'm hoping that the pollstar thing was a typo and they'll be back up here for a rare west coast trip. - -----Original Message----- From: Jim Merullo [mailto:jmerullo@bondcliff.net] Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 9:35 AM To: John Eddy; edheads@efohio.com Subject: Re: Argh! - ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Eddy" > John's one ray of hope - There's a week before the CA appearance that > could have a Seattle trip squeezed in.

I saw the pollstar thing about Seattle and almost flipped, because I know TONS of friends in Seattle/Vancouver who have never experienced EFO, or have had to fly east to see them. But I noticed that it is the same day as Greenville, SC, so I decided not to make this known to them. Somebody definitely screwed up here. But no, I don't think they have ever played the Pac NW, and it's about time they did!!!! I know of 10 people already who will be there with bells on! - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Merullo" To: "John Eddy" ; Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 12:35 PM Subject: Re: Argh! > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Eddy" > > > > John's one ray of hope - There's a week before the CA appearance that > > could have a Seattle trip squeezed in. > > Does anyone know if EFO ever play in the Pacific NW?
