Ok, so I didn't want to rub it in the faces of those who could not attend but JewelStock is going down as one of the greatest nights in my life. I won't post about the set list or how she sounded with the band, because I am sure that a lot of people will do that. Just picture a perfect warm evening in the beautiful Catskill Mountains. My wife (Tammy) and I got there about 5:30 and decided to eat at one of the nicer cafes right next to the theater. We had a great meal and then made our way over to the line. Even though they opened the doors an hour late, I was comforted by the fact that there seemed to only be about 200 people. I knew this was going to be really a really intimate show. She even started out by reading some of her poetry. Jewel was undescribable for 2 1/2 hours, playing and joking with us. (BTW, she said she loved the smoking discussion and that it really was a lollipop! So she must hear all about our conversations.) You just couldn't ask for a better setting or better performance. I don't know if any of us heard all the songs we wanted to (like I'm Sensitive, Jessica, Foolish Games, and many more), but I don't think it really mattered. Then after the second encore the lights went up. People were sad the night was comming to an end and made their way out to their cars (it was about midnight). Tammy and I waited around to see if she'd come out to talk. After 4 or 5 minutes we decided to leave and we went out the side doors (opposite where everyone else was leaving.) We walked through the doors and there she was. [I don't want to start any stupid rumors, but can we assume the guy on BMW motorcycle was her boyfriend???] She was just standing there talking, my heart dropped. I told Tammy that we'll go to our car, get the stuff that I wanted her to sign, and if she was still just standing there I was going to ask her (Actually, I sent Tammy to do it because I was way too nervous.) Tammy started to walk up to her about the same time the rest of the crowd did. You have to knwo that there were only about 30 or 40 people left at the theater at this point. Jewel stayed and signed everything we had, I brought the US magazine article and had her sign her picture. And then I posed for a picture with her (Thanks Tammy for not being insanely jealous why I stood that close to Jewel). I stood behind Jewel for a while, I must be in hundreds of pictures. Anyone who left early missed a great opportunity to hang out with Jewel. As this was going on Tammy kept on motioning for something, and suddenly I realized that it was because Patti Griffith was standing right off to the side. I went over to tell her that I loved her set and she signed my CD. She was just as sweet as Jewel. Which is funny because see doesn't have the sweet quality that Jewel does on stage, but she was absolutely wonderful in person. Anyways there were too many great people that I met to mention them all. My only regret is that I didn't take the time or the initiative to introduce myself to all of you. I did get the chance to meet Dan Starks in the parking lot before the show. AN incrediably nice guy, and fellow Mustang driver. Thanks for being so kind to all of us Jewel fans Dan. I also got to talk for quite a while with James Judd, as I stood next to him in line for over an hour. Another great angel from I believe Alabama and Auburn University (hope I don't remember wrong) p.s. Thanks for tape for the flash James!!!!!! Well, that's my tale for now, sorry it came out so long.. Best wishes, ROB BTW, was it just me or did everyone else want to call Mike Connell "Number one"? ------------------------------ From: Eric Montas Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 13:44:01 GMT Subject: Dammit! This is exactly what Jewel didn't want :( mike, akira, bill, and everyone who attended friday's show, sorry, but as you've probably realized, i didn't make it back for the show. the plan was that after the party at pinecrest, i was gonna bring jack (shakey) back home so he could sleep an hour or two before going to work at 7:30am. i was either going to drive back or sleep at jack's depending on how i felt. well, i never got a chance to see how i felt. before driving jack home, bill and tom proven said that neither one of us should go back until one of us was sober enough. i was cool with letting jack drive, since he has a higher tolerance than i do, but i had also never let anyone else drive my car before, so i was a bit wary. i honestly felt fine enough to handle the trip, so jack allowed me to drive. we were doing fine, taking 375 to 28 to 87 aka the new york thruway. i had put in the MOM cd hoping it would help keep me awake. when i felt that it wasn't helping, i had jack put in sarah mclachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, a cd that i could sing along with and keep me up. well, before i knew it, i heard jack yelling 'dude! dude!' and i opened my eyes to see driving on the center grass dividing the north and south bound roads. my first big mistake was driving with cruise control on. my second big mistake was jerking the wheel back on the road and hitting the brakes. my car started to spin, and it ran into the right side of the road, hitting a cement guard rail, and then spinning into a ditch on the side of the road with a little stream. 'shit! did i just crash?' was my first thought. i've never had an accident or a speeding ticket in my life, so this is my first driving mishap in five years of driving. dammit. i feel like such an idiot. i should've let jack take over when i started feeling drowsy. i shouldn't have driven with cruise control on. i shouldn't have slammed on the brakes. oh well. that doesn't help my car or my insurance now. unfortunately, i wasn't able to attend the second day of jewelstock, and because of my stupidity, jack never made it to work anyway. well, i'm sorry i let so many people down, but all the apologizing in the world won't make up for it. well, i'm going to try and wash off my guilt. then maybe i'll cry myself to sleep. 'bye. eric :( ------------------------------ From: jeth@damien.edu (Jeth) Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 03:56:28 -1000 Subject: NJC - My Lame Attempt To Entertain You All With A Poem The sands on the beach come together, because of the waves from the sea. But it is also because of these waves, that they are pulled apart, freed. The grains left behind often wonder about their brothers and sisters. "To be engulfed in mother ocean, how I would love to just be with her." But those grains which once departed, are soon put back and returned. When they come back from Big Blue, they are asked to preach what they have just learned. "For what good will it do me, to keep you all here to myself. When instead if I release you, you are all able to go forth and share the great wealth." So there sits those tiny little grains of sand, nothing but small microscopic specks. But united, their strength is immeasurable, when the ocean gets them wet. May the sands never forget this, should a breeze blow one off track, Because it is those loose dry sands that are the ones, the ones that never find their way back. ------------------------------ From: 451 Charles Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 10:44:12 -0400 Subject: Everyday Angels I've been asked to repost this message some of you think that waht I say here is wrong but I just feel If you come here to talk about Jewel then you shouldn't have to sift through thirty or so messages on other subjects. I under stand you wanting to get to know each other but I think private mail has the same effect Dear Everyone, This is supposed to be a conversation about Jewel and her work. I've noticed more messages that have nothing to do with her. Please write to each other individually. BTW: Does anyone have any poetry from about or dedicated to Jewel? If so either send it to me or post it Later Matt mwheeler@lr.net ------------------------------ From: Ed Hodgin Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 11:18:10 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Who is this guy? Since when has Matt (451 Charles) become Pooh-Bah, Lord-High-Everything- Else? He first assumes that we are here *JUST* to talk about Jewel and her work. Then he suggests that if an Everyday Angel wants to introduce himself/herself to the list, that Angel has to e-mail every friggin' member. This list is for people who share at least one common interest. Because of this list, we have met professional Frisbee deflectors, in-bred brothers, a guy who talks to his toy, etc. (y'all, I mean this in a good way). I think most of us appreciate this kind of interaction, even if we do have to go through 250 messages each Monday morning. People, if you don't want to read Non-Jewel Content (NJC), you don't have to. You ARE allowed to delete a message without reading it. If that is too hard for you to handle, get your Jewel info somewhere else. Don't subscribe to this list and try to get hundreds of people to conform to your wishes. Oh, and if you do have the nerve to tell us how we should run the list, I don't suggest asking us members to give you poetry, boots, tabs, lyrics, etc. You certainly won't be getting S@#T from me (apologies to Sabra; of course some of you won't know what I'm talking about because that concerned a discussion indirectly related to Jewel). ed ------------------------------ From: scott1@oz.net Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 08:17:31 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Introduction & Aug 17 > >BTW, since I'm new can anyone explain "Jewelstock" to me? > You might not want to hear about it, as you may desire the cold steel of a knife through your heart afterward when you realize that you missed it. If you have any suicidal tendencies whatsoever, DO NOT READ ON! If you did, here's the skinny. Jewelstock was a show based around the incredible Jewel Kilcher set up by list-members to go see Miss Jewel in a little place near Woodstock, NY. It was a concert put on by list-members (namely Akira, Mike Connell, and a few others (I would post 'em all, but you know who you are)) for list-members around Jewel's plans to be in the area. Jewel, evidently knowing of her fans on the 'net, decided she would like to put on a concert to thank them all (even newbies). The first show was last night (opened by the quite nifty Patty Griffin (do yourself a favor and pick up "Living With Ghosts)) and the second will be tonight. Hopefully more on-location reports will be forthcoming. We'll see. If about now, you are beginning to feel suicidal tendencies, I will attempt to relieve them. There are is a DAT(s) being made, hopefully including Patty and the second show, which will be treed as well, I believe, as a video taped by some as of yet unknown person. There are also official t-shirts and a guestbook which will be made available to non-attendees later. Hope this clears things up. And have fun at the show on the 17th.

That makes for a whole bunch of time spent E-mailing say an introduction to a whole bunch of people. Also, what about the ever-present lurkers? Nobody can really privately E-Mail them since nobody's seen the addresses on any posts. How will they get to know people if it's all done through discreetly private mail? I think it would definitely pull us all apart. Where would we be without the lighthearted posts from the ubiquitous Skinny Pete? Or the insightful posts about other artists? We all need to express ourselves to EVERY member of the list sometime, and not only on the subject of Jewel. I don't know about everyone else, but I think a one-track list would be EXTREMELY boring. So, there's my two hundredths of a dollar. Agree or disagree, just know that nobody should feel sorry for what they post, ever.

Had to imagine Friday will top it. Kudos to every one and all for pulling it off so well, and in such good spirits. You (we) are a credit to the highest and best parts of us all. Q: Was that the longest show Jewel's done? Slight problem (for Phil). I got an XXL T shirt. Besides being too big, I know they were special order only and at a higher price. Can I send it back to you and trade for an XL?

I really have nothing to say except I'm early to post so I thing I should have some big revelations and I feel totally bad that I don't... I got Jeweel to sign the bad review of her I posted about and we told her it was her fault my guest had to be innocent in court today. (We got the ticket on the way to her show months ago...) As for the music her mom sang a song alone and a song with her. Jewel, herself, played some new stuff and everyones request SIBTW. (SHe told us that she cut out the Goldilocks verse for the album version...) Oh, and I was surprised how many Innerchange songs she played... Well, I have to go to court so that is it.... Thanks to the organizing people and everyone who was like, "You're the thought of the day girl," because now I can't think of a thouhgt... Oh and Tom because he took my pictures which will be available to all of you if they come out...
