Some people are too nice. egg samples: The Bayomatic industrial strength campomate VAN-o-house came subtly through my neighborhood. Bayard and Peter were wonderful guests. Bayard played for hours with Dusty, the world-famous tigermonkey. She learned to say "Bayard." She misses him very much. Okay, she has a little trouble with the "B," she usually has some trouble with capital letters. She slept all day the day he left. Hopefully she spoiled him too. Glen said really nice stuff about me and my music. Almost gushing. I blush. I've been on a streak with fegmaniax. Every single one of you that I've met in real life has been wonderful, witty, clever, kind, and a joy to be around. This is akin to the US winning the America's Cup since the Jurassic age. (Sports history note: but then, as history would have it, James Dignan in a soap-carved hull and sails stretched from the pancreas of a hundred really angry paparazzi beat the biggest blowhard in America whose name is DENNIS. [I was careful to not put a comma in that last line]). Maybe one of these days I'll meet someone who isn't a real feg. - -- For any of you with fleequent friar miles, we'll be having a Bay Area Feg lunch get-together extravaganza-athon this Thursday in Cupertinoville. - -- This weekend I just went to a songwriters conference. Some H'wood and even Nashramblerville music industry muckety- mux showed interest in my ditties. Maybe soon I can quit my job and just live on the net. Glad we're back, more chat soon.

Subject: Hello all and more... Hey all, Good to see you all back here on my fuzzy little screen. As John (lobstie) mentioned, the spoken word tape is indeed making the rounds. I've put together a little web page to track it and record the details for posterity.

Your mother and I have been worried sick wondering where you were. This cock-and-bull story about your vehicle being struck by lightening just isn't going to fool anyone you know ...and as for all those wierd-looking so-called friends you've brought with you -- you can just send them right back where they came from. Half of them just sit there watching anyway. Unnerving it is. Not natural. The other half, you can't shut them up. What they need is a good dose of military discipline. Why in my day we had to defragment our hard drives by hand with tweezers and a toothpick. You young people today, you don't know you're born......

Actually, the reason I was unable to attend the tc bash - and hence missed meeting the almost legendary "Fegs most eligible bachelor", Bayard, was that I happened to be in Chicago, trapped in a photo-me booth with Jay Hedblade and Susan "Amadain" Dodge. Luckily we had a good supply of dollar bills, so we were able to extract ourselves from the machine photon by photon. Once we had been processed and dried we were almost as good as new. Now that I have the results - and have been promised Fegfotos from Bumbershoot (Eddie) and tc's little gathering (Bayard) I realized it is time to resurrect the FegFotos page idea - and so I am. I'll let y'all know in a week or two when there's something to look at. I hope this will encourage a few more little get-togethers, and a few more snaps for the album. Watch this space, as they say. Anyone take any photos at the Robyn at Sea event, perchance??? > As a bonus, Mark brought the new Dan Bern CD and played it for us. > Absolutely great! I bought it the next day... This is not a CD, it's a *virus* I tell you! Having raved about it on the list a month or so ago (not something I do often ...honest) It has been fun watching it spread from person to person. Could be quite the Feg contingent when Dan visits here in November! (I wonder which Robyn song we should persuade him to cover...) SO glad to have you back. ~N ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 23:27:05 -0700 From: Nick Winkworth Subject: Re: Daily Telegraph interview (July 97) Last Saturday, Rob wrote (in his transcription of the Torygraph interview - thanks Rob!): > ...
