When I was 15 I found a used hardcover book of her poetry for three dollars.On the inside written in silver caligraphy it says "To Julia or your 18th Birthday, surpass the stratosphere simple-minded systemization. Love Al" ...Scribbled over this in red ink is "Die Bastard." HA.

If Emm is coming out with a book of poetry or a book of lyrics, I stoked either way. Second- Someone posted a while ago that they found a hotel to stay at in Sarnia, can who posted that please send me details.

"it's the good you make it's the something else, there are are sometimes that you save me" cute. :) she also lost her guitar pick AGAIN and luckily i had another to lend her from the front row... one of sarah harmer's i had snagged at one of her shows. geez, that woman needs to hold onto her picks! meg toohey also brought down the house with a super rockin' set, getting three encores. since some of you are now fans and familiar w/ her songs, she played: fall, turn around (with emm on bg vocals), four months, seed, test drive, tattoo, pulling me under, locket, what a waste, another sleepless night, even the rain, encore 1: kiss (prince), encore 2: voices carry (til tuesday), encore 3: blind. emm and m play in providence, ri at the met cafe wednesday night - the last show of their super tour together, so come on out! doors at 7:30pm. c-ya there. dana (tired, tired, going to bed NOW) ===== http://www.aquezada.com/dwagner "give me trust and faith and all the things i had; i'm stained all through my insides" -eg Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
