Now that I am safely (if a little groggily) returned to the good 'ol US of A, and am once again connected, I can finally reveal to you the true details of Britfeg 98. Seriously, meeting Mike Godwin, Jonathan Turner and Tony Blackman was definitely a highlight of my trip and despite the absence of tinfoil sculptures, flaming cow innards or pungent oriental squid, a good time was definitely had by all. Once again I can reiterate Bayard's now immortal words; "Fegs are the nicest people". For me, Britfeg 98 started, on the afternoon of May 24th, with a two hour drive from my rented "quaint Cotswolds cottage" in rural Oxfordshire. (I now know that "quaint" is a technical term indicating ceilings too low for grown adults to standupright, unlikely corners and projections, baffling electrical systems and unreliable plumbing). Soon however I was in uncharacteristically sunny London and after only two or three circumnavigations of the Hammersmith roundabout I located a small lane leading to the river Thames with - miracle of miracles - a parking place. Soon I was entering The Dove - a "quaint" public house of some antiquity (Charles Dickens is supposed to have written something or other here, I think) with stunning views of the river. Searching the bar, I completely missed Jonathan's brilliant home-produced Robyn T-shirt AND Mike's small-but-perfectly-formed Thoth pin. Fortunately Mike guessed who I was and barred my path with a quizzical look. Despite never having seen him before I knew it must be he, and soon introductions were complete and serious consumption of Fullers Pride could begin. Jonathan produced photos of Robyn's most recent "excursion" in the Isle of Wight, and Tony and I (he's another minidisc enthusiast) compared MD recorders. (Mine is bigger, BTW.) Having waited long enough to be sure that Gary had not changed his mind/job/girlfriend/band, and with no compelling gig options available we decided to go somewhere to eat. Being a 50% vegetarian group we decided on a veggie place that Jonathan knew and piled into the Fegmobile. Gunning the powerful 125cc diesel engine, we then lurched towards Shepherds Bush. Having a rental car has many advantages. One of these is being able to park on a less than salubrious street under the watchful eye of a trio of shaven-headed young men with beer cans and have no misgivings whatsoever. A short walk later we reached the restaurant. Closed. Well it *was* dinner time, so the proprietors were probably out eating somewhere. Back to the retrieve the car (unscathed) and one change of plan later, we found ourselves in Chiswick at an Italian pasta/pizza place. Given the rare (for London) balmy weather, we chose a table outside where we could best enjoy the fumes from the passing traffic and the serenading of the passing football hooligans. After dinner (during which I tried to explain the Feg appeal of Dan Bern by playing a recording of the track "Tiger Woods" to the amusement/bemusement of those present), Tony produced his trusty mobile phone and from right there is the middle of Chiswick High Street we attempted to communicate with the Great Quail mothership. Sadly all we got was an answerphone, and since the message did not begin "Hello, Great Quail here ...", we could not be *sure* it was the right number. This did not stop us from leaving a suitably bizarre message, however - including Mike Godwin in full song ... top *that*! By this time it was late and time to leave. Too late in Mike's case - in all the excitement he'd missed his last train home! There was only one thing to do -- head the train off at the next station. Now, Mike's home in Bath is a long way from London and the next stop would be in Reading, some 50 miles or so to the West and about as far South from my route back to Oxfordshire. Nevertheless, anything for a fellow Feg - and hey, he *did* buy me a pint. Thus began the Feg version of "Toad's wild ride". After a high speed dash down the motorway (or at least, as fast as the 125cc diesel powered Fegmobile would take us) we took the second of several exits marked "Reading" and headed - without a map - for the city center, betting that the station would at least be signposted from there. We managed to find the city center and indeed there were signs for the station, but after following them in at least one complete circle we figured that the place must be disguised to confuse tourists. Finally Mike spotted a rank of black taxicabs and on the principle that they must be waiting for train passengers, Mike leapt heroically from the Fegmobile and disappeared into the night. I left, not knowing whether he'd made it or not. (I discovered on my return that, although we actually got there 5 minutes after the train's scheduled departure time, the train was 10 minutes late, so all was well). Thanks to Mike, Tony and Jonathan for a great evening. I'm only sorry that Gary couldn't make it also. Maybe next time?! I hope the "Fegfest" concept continues to grow and prosper. It sounds like the Pennsylvania party was a blast -- and we had a pretty good time too ...in our own reserved British way. ;) LJ: Please take good care of "Little Ron" Quail. Teach him the rudiments of quail lore. It is my hope that in time he may be able to travel to future Fegfests and perform the duties of a surrogate Great Quail. On no account should he be fed placentae (or quail eggs -- a similar concept, I think). ~N ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Jun 1998 10:11:55 -0700 From: Nick Winkworth Subject: Re: I used to love you Eddie wrote: > I'm going to Cambridge > I'll take that narrow train > I'm going to Cambridge > Then I'll come down again > The police station > Is still on Parker's Piece [does this sound right, britfegs?] Parker's Piece is a large grass-covered square which separates the collegiate part of Cambridge from the less historic and completely un-tourist infested part of the town to the South.

SD is really overbaked. definitely the sound of one guy going berzerk and overdubbing everyone else's parts except the drums and working too hard. some nice songs though. "Soma" is still probably my favorite SP song. over MC&TIS, close, but no. Gish, i think, gets a little soft in the middle (Suffer; Snail), and while there are around 3-4 songs on MC that i really can't stand, there are also then 24 that i think are good to brilliant, and they are also a more varied bunch than Gish. over Adore, ask me in 8 months. > BTW, Corgan's little bunch in the begining- > let's see, angry 5-minute songs with guitar solos and making > studio masterpieces while everybody else were doing 2 1/2 minute > 'punk' songs... > sound familiar? except the Soft Boys never had a gold > record....

So here's my tentative plans (without consulting anyone, knowing whether or not I'll be employed, or checking any kind of reliable calendar): Thursday, The Aladdin. I expect every other Portland Feg to be there. I also expect to get together beforehand with some people... be they fegs or friends or both. I'm probably going to get most of my close circle of friends in on this concert, too, so it'll be a massive group thing. We'll get there very early and steel the middle section, first two rows. Friday, (maybe work and then...) in the afternoon head up to Seattle for the Croc show in the evening. I'm still up for the minivan rental or something like that. Maybe I'll get Ian to go and we'll take the Volvo. Show at the Croc, stay the night someplace. Next day in Seattle with dinner at the Two Bells waiting for a possible Robyn show. Probably drive home Sunday morning. Big fun? I think so. The incredibly uncomfortable hardwood floor of my ultra-economy class studio apartment is open to anyfeg who wants to drop into P-town for the gig.

I know I'm not as well placed as other BritFegs (tm) to comment on this, but as far as I understand it having had several "vegetarian" grlfriends (stop that puerile sniggering right now) that in this country at least, the term "vegetarianism" refers to the non-partaking of animal flesh. The dictionary definition (Stewart correct me if I'm wrong) refers to "animal flesh and other animal products", however I believe the term "lacto vegetarian" has been coined (esepcially by airlines) to denote a vegetarian who consumes lacto products such as milk and cheese (obviously non-rennet based). The term "vegan" has been used to describe strict vegetarians that live on a diet that does not include any foodstuff that is animal based or derived in any way from animals. You can spot a vegan by their pasty, ghostly look.......

He does, however, eat cheese and other dairy products. People who choose not to eat those are vegans--they eat nothing that is the by-product of an animal.

Trouble is, I don't have much to say, so here's a few random sputters... 1. I'm listening to Perspex Island for the first time in at least a year. With the exceptions of Ultra-Unbelievable Love and Child Of The Universe, I think I'm really getting into this album again. The production isn't even phasing me today. Cool. She Doesn't Exist just really gets me right...here. 2. On my trek north to Fegfest '98, I stumbled upon the old Dan Bern "Dog Boy Van" single in Gainsville and pondered a few minutes before snagging it. Best choice I've made in a long time. I picked up Dan's eponymous debut album based on the kind words muttered on this list by one Lobsterman and others, and while I liked it, it didn't produce any fanatical obsessive feelings. I kinda filed it away and nearly forgot about it. Then I find out that John, a local pal / coffeeshop owner really digs Dan (but has never heard of or listened to Robyn...Ugh!) which inticed me further to pick up the single. I played this stunning disk several times during my drive northward, and I remained in chilled silence for several minutes after the final strains of "Oklahoma", his stark homage to the Federal Building bombing, disappeared from my speakers. (Haven't picked up "50 Eggs" yet, but have high hopes) Blah blah blah...gush gush gush. 3. Thanks Zelda for the pictures. I'll get to work on them soon...I promise. Also, I've got 3 more cones to hopefully get online for your perusing pleasure one of these days. 4. Has anyone else's inner-goth-child started burnin'-yernin' with the recent news of the Bauhaus reunion concerts? I've been away from that music for a good while now, but the news sparked desperate thoughts of "I have to get to LA...I have to get to LA". Damn, needing a Bauhaus fix at work sucks when all your discs are at home buried beneath a pile of dust.
