Heres the reletive part of Mikes note to me with the answer & other relevant info afterward: <> You is correct sir! There were multiple encores & 3 definately on Friday night. I'm not sure of Thursday because I didnt note anything other than title abreviations. But I clearly remember 3 on Friday night. I wasnt certain of the break points between encores, so I didnt note them when I posted the lists. So you're not as osmosisized as you feared. By the way, get this: Just as we were all feeling like the most special people in Woodstock, I discovered that on Wednesday afternoon Jewel performed at a "Backyard Barbecue" behind the WDSK Building on Tinker Street in Woodstock for just a handful of people which was simulcast on WDSK. I knew of the broadcast but was unaware anyone could attend! AmyJo & I were floating in the pool at The Pinecrest at the time! And just 5 minutes away! :-( This short solo acoustic set on 7-17-96 was as follows: You Were Meant For Me Little Sister Carnivore Satellite Innocence Maintained Who Will Save Your Souls Chime Bells Anyway, I've mentioned to Lenedra that it would be nice to include this as a consolation for the missing electric sets in the tape tree. I have a copy of this now and have sent a DAT to the director at WDSK, who is being gracious enough to run off a perfect copy for the archive which we can use. By including this (and possibly the Rosie Odonnell taping audio from earlier that morning) we'd have 3 days of material. "The Jewelstock Tapes" with the obvious subtitle of "3 Days of Peace,Love & Music"--just like the '69 festival. I'll keep ya updated.

What a two-day event! I really enjoyed the show, but what I enjoyed most, as some of you have already pointed out, was putting faces to the names I have read. I was the one who furiously was trying to find rides to and from JS. Funny thing was that I met EVERYONE who offered or supplied me with a ride! From Crunch to Kate to Jon to Gerrit to Tom, and so on, I met you all! And for those who are not quite sure who the hell I was, I was the short(5'3")guy with long blonde/brown hair, glasses, those lovely AKIRA shirts(what adoration!), and did some drawing. I can also be found on wanted signs all over the world(heheheeheheheh!)! ;) My take on JS II. I still can not get over JS, and just thinking about a JS II makes me all warm and fuzzy inside(uhhhhh......nevermind.). Anyways, as Hiranya explained, it may not be an annual event as many of us would like. The only reason THIS JewelStock worked out is because she just happened to be in NY recording her new album. Who knows what she'll be doing or where she will be a year from now. We would ALL love to have another one, but it is really not for us to dictate the when and where's. Jewel and co. did us ALL a HUGE favor by helping to make JS a reality. Timing and availability were essential, and will be essential again if and when the next JS occurs. I say when the time is right, we will know. Personally, I rather wait a year or a few for her to really be able to spend that kind of time and energy than pushing it and not getting the wonderful and unique experience that some of us were fortunate enough to partake in. We owe Jewel our patience and understanding. I'm sure she would appreciate that rather than us pushing. That would distinguish us, the EVERYDAY ANGELS, as her TRUEST and most UNDERSTANDING fans, from everyone else. It was that understanding that gave us this event. It will be that same understanding that will follow up with more. Wow! That was....touching. Almost cried myself(what an emotional guy I am!). Now for that media thing. I really feel that it is up to us whether it gets out or not. The only problem is that, as the old saying goes, "one person can make a difference". All you need is one person telling the media, and that person has unintentionally made the decision for us. Personally, I would LOVE for the media to know. Think of how much more popular, or well known, Jewel could become. Only problem is: does she really want ALL that attention? As those of you who met me know, I am an artist, and would love for my work to get some media coverage. As an aspiring comic book artist, it could do wonders for my future as a comic book penciller, or even more. But just how much is TOO much? I want to be known and shown for my work, but I don't want the media to constantly hover over me and find out everything they can about me 'till the point where I have no privacy left, professionally, personally, and the like. I remember listening to her interview on 120 Minutes on MTV. She was talking about how lots of artist(music and otherwise) are "forced" to grow up and produce" A "quality work in order to stay on top. She mentioned that she rather let her music grow "naturally"; that she will naturally produce better work as time goes on. How "natural" will her growth be if the media is constantly hounding her and branding her a "so-and-so" artist if that's not what she intended or is intending to be? So, from my standpoint, as a fellow artist and understanding fan, I say we leave the media out of this. Let it be our own little "secret" between us and Jewel. It makes it all the more personal, and brings us closer to Jewel, our mother angel. If anyone feels differently and wants to bring the media; fine. It is your choice. Remember, though; once it is out, things will NEVER be the same or as private, as personal. Well, there's my two cents. Speak to you angels later! Take care! :) Steve -"There's a difference between dreaming a dream, and making a dream come true" ------------------------------ From: Victor Igor Wasylczenko Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 09:18:44 -0700 Subject: Re: look at me!

You got my vote. Let's not be so selfish. We should do what ever we can to promote Jewel. Who knows, maybe other artists will get the hint and Jewel will be responsible for a major change in the music industry. She is much more than just another female songwriter/singer/folkie/voice that seems to be in right now.

HOWEVER, THIS >HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED THAT SHE IS STAYING AT THE ASHWORTH OR NOT. As soon >as I find out, I'll let all of you know. (Is this okay?) Not to slam you, Kyle, but I really think its a bad idea to meet her at the hotel she's staying at. Jewel's been so kind to us, the least we can do is respect her privacy outside of the shows, and let her lead at least a semblance of a normal life. I implore you to try and give it to her before or after her show, she's not *that* unapproachable, even now. Her hotel is her chance to get away from the media, the public, and all that. Her hotel, and K-Mart washrooms. :-) Which brings me to an off-topic point: Jewel has a bit more courage than me, you'll never catch me frolicking nude in a K-Mart washroom. (and the entire male contingent of the Jewel list breathes a sigh of relief) :-) **************** Oh, and I would just like to say publically here that TOM O'BRIEN is the Jewel Bootleg King, since he gets on every bootleg in the NE part of the continent.
