This actually sounds a lot more workable than me organizing something at my house. I wouldn't at all mind, but it's not that practical timewise- I'm mebbe, I dunno 15-20 minutes drive and probably 45 minutes train from the Metro, and the show starts at 7:00. If we were talking Saturday/Sunday this wouldn't be a problem, but with a couple people getting off work around 5 (Doc, possibly, Hedblade gets off work around that time I know for sure, because he called me to ask if we were doing anything and expressed some interest in meeting the famous Eddie Fuckin' Tews), they'd be getting to my house 5:30-6ish, and that doesn't leave much time for sitting around and fegging. They'd almost have to turn around and leave once they got here. It makes a lot more sense to meet up somewhere near the Metro. I vote Chicago Diner over Goose Island Brewery. The food's better, and I'm not just saying that because it's veg. Goose Island food (correct me if I'm wrong) from what I remember of it, is for the most part higher quality bar food. Still, if that's what the majority wants I'm ok with it. It's just not my vote :). Isn't Penny's Noodle Shop close by the Metro? That's another option too. Is it possible to make reservations at the Chicago Diner? I was just wondering, because I thought I'd use the patented Nick Winkworth Feg Gathering Method and make a reservation for Mr. Feg, which'd make it easier for Fegs who are not visually known to others of the tribe to find us.

Pro wrestling is and has been horribly popular amongst those in the Minneapolis punk/indie scene. No doubt Mould caught the bug during his tenure as a Minnesotan, possibly as a result of too much exposure to Terry Katzman, the man who recorded _Land Speed Record_ and now runs the store Garage D'or. If you wander into Garage D'or (location details at www.garagedor.com) and see a little fortyish guy who's as wiry as his glasses, casually mention Vern Gagne or perhaps even the late, lamented Owen Hart--he'll probably talk your ear off for an hour or so.

I am not surprised. I am a hugh Bob Mould fan, and I love wrestling. I have been watching wrestling for the past 15 years. Is is a soap opera without the sap. I am originally from the Midwest, and 3 friends of mine, either from MI or Minnisota, are also Mould/WWF fans. WWF has better soap opera stories. Right now the Big Show's father is dying of cancer, and only real bad guys would want to antagonize him when he is down. Yes, it is very silly stuff, but man, we laugh so hard.

Luther sez: >Bob Mould is the new creative consultant for WCW. >That's World Championship Wrestling. Good! I hope they pay him a shitload of money, he deserves it! What's more, I think the tobacco industry ought to hire Richard Butler and Joe Cocker for lucrative consulting jobs, just for their helping to popularize the whole gravelly-voice thing. And let's not forget the enormous debt owed by the orthodonture industry to Shane "you don't want to grow up looking like me, do you" McGowan... >The songwriter, and formerly with the band Husker Du, >notes that wrestling and rock music are a natural fit. Personally, I prefer to listen to old Louis Armstrong (now THERE's a guy who deserved a consulting job) and Cab Calloway records when wrestling is on, but that's just me. Rock music is better for cooking, and maybe cleaning the hot tub. Speaking of which, the other day Miles G. wrote: >I keep thinking that the only thing I'd like to put in a hot tub >with Julia Roberts and Pamela Anderson Lee is a toaster. Y'know, I tried this last night, and it didn't work! I quickly found out that you have to leave the toaster plugged into the AC outlet when you throw it in the tub, which means you usually need at least a 15-foot extension cord, and it also helps if the lever is depressed as well. And it can't be one of those newfangled microprocessor-controlled toasters either - apparently they have some sort of fancy shutoff system that cuts off the juice as soon as they hit the water. I wish I'd known all this before, because it was really hard trying to convince Julia and Pam not to just get up out of the tub and walk away, what with me taking so long trying to set the whole thing up.

Who the hell knows. > Oh, yeah -- I forgot -- there were cones at the Iron Horse show, too -- also $15. I know Eddie bought one, and somebody else (woj?). As usual, I was too cheap ;-} We were waiting in line for the Iron Horse doors to open when Robyn arrived, carrying a small stack of cones; he and the band were late and weren't going to have time for a sound check -- they didn't know that the doors were supposed to open right about that time -- so he asked if we wouldn't mind waiting for a bit while they finished setting up and did a quick sound check. He had his tour manager (Paul?) pass out JfS stickers to us, and suggested that we have a team Scrabble game while we were waiting (some people in front of us had a Scrabble game with them.) Before going in, he took a photo of Eddie and me (and the rest of the people in line -- we just happened to be right in front of him) and said that it was just to be able to identify us all if we got inside before they were ready. He was in a really good mood (although that seemed to change temporarily; after the IH staff let us in before the sound check anyway, we could hear Paul (who was pacing back and forth next to our table) talking to Robyn (who was in the dressing room downstairs) on his cell phone, and it sounded like RH was pretty pissed that they didn't have a chance for a sound check. There was no sign of any bad mood during the show, though ;-} Eric, proud owner of a purple JfS shirt, not one of the ugly green ones. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1999 12:56:48 -0800 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Y2K?

For example, the first few times I listened to"Guildford", I heard: "I'm a little bastard" - suprised me when I found the lyrics are actually "I'm a little past it". (Guildford BTW seems to play on the word "guilt" - guilt associated with events in the past, the "ghosts that are ruining your life"? Perhaps "sucks out all the guilt" from the last verse of 'Jewels', which seems to point to various songs on the album, is a reference to this).

Mexican God: "..upside down face but it's still sore alot... " "...this is the evil eye...wished on so many..." Dark Princess: sounds like "turnip the glove you wear" - but reads "turn up the glove you wear"?!? ;-) This last one might read like a fa(u)x, but the verse in "Jewels for Sophia" that recants the songs on the album _does_ start off with "onion glove" (un-young love? on yon glove?). I mean, where does "onion glove" come from anyway? Are onions related to turnips? Can somebody PLEASE EXPLAIN?!? :-) No, but seriously, there's a lotta cool wordplay on this CD.
