Although at times posts got a little heated, it all worked out at the end and everyone was back to being their nice selves. Anyway, I've realized I'm not such a big Jewel fan, just someone that could appreciate her music (although her music is getting to get a little overplayed on the radio)... her talent will still attract new fans, I'm sure.

It seems like everyone's done with their Boston reviews and moved on to other shows, but I've been gone virtually every minute since the show and haven't had a chance to write yet. But here's my blow-by-blow account of my first "real" EDA meeting. First of all, if anyone else knew this rumor, the world did *not* explode because people met me. Mike Connell dubbed me "The EDA who would never meet another" after he found out that I had been at both the Paradise and Hampton Beach shows, had actually *seen* an EDA or two walk by me, and did nothing to say hi, join them, etc. So apparently he told everyone that once I was finally met, the world would come to an end. But it didn't. At least not yet. Anyway. I left campus at about 2:45 with my friend Kelley and we drove to the Sam Goody to pick up my copy of the POY songbook (I will not even *begin* to tell you the trouble I went through to get this thing... It's almost not worth it) and from there we hit Boston, arriving somewhere around quarter of five. We found the theatre pretty easily and saw a small (six-ish?) group of people hanging around the Corner Mall in the designated area. We said nothing because we weren't sure if this was the right group. (I don't know who else it would have been, but hey, I get shy sometimes) I guess it was because with the all the talk about how many youngin's there are on the list, I was expecting a younger crowd. And, well, they weren't. I turned out being one of the youngest at 19. I think only Rachel (cornflake girl) was younger, but I could be wrong. So Kelley and I wandered into the Corner Mall, looked around in there, all the meanwhile I'm muttering "Someone said there'd be balloons," left the Corner Mall, still said nothing to the group (you may begin to understand why Mike thought that I'd never meet anyone!) and walked around Boston Common until 5:15 (what a beautiful place!! I've been in Boston plenty of times (growing up in southern NH often has that effect) but I'd never seen the Common) and trudged back the people congregating on the sidwalk. By this time, they had grown in number and were staring at us as we approached. I finally asked this guy with red hair (Hi, Aaron) if they were the EDA's... yup. So here's who was there: Jeff Wasilko, Dennis Harris, Mike Connell (who then told the story of the world exploding), Steve Melisi (our resident Martin Short look-a-like who's really nice), a guy who was dubbed "T-Shirt Guy" (Phil?), Chris Moynihan (I think that's his last name -- he was introduced as that tall guy--6'13"), Paul Kim, Rachel, Aaron (who didn't get *too* insulted when Kelley said she has an aversion to U. Mass-Amhearst) and a couple from New York, I believe, whose names escape me at the moment. So I finally got to put a face with a name (albeit very difference faces than I had assumed) for all the people I see writing. It was pretty neat. So we babbled for awhile, decided to eat dinner at this nifty German restaurant, etc etc. That was when I discovered how nice the EDA's are. Kelley and I talked to Steve most of the time, listened to other conversations (it was odd, all the of the older bunch sat at one end of the table, the younger at the end... I was smack dab in the middle of the table and felt like I was in No-Man's Land). Dennis had offered to loan me and Kelley some money for dinner (it wasn't *outrageously* priced, but being a starving college student living on Ramen noodles and mac & cheese...). He offered to lend money to two complete strangers!! (Thanks, Dennis). But Kelley and I decided to split a meal so we could pay ourselves... and then all of a sudden Mike picked up the tab... for *all* of us. He'd driven all the way from NY that morning and then picked up the tab for about twelve people! It was amazing. Back to the Orpheum... Rugburns opened, Jewel came out for one song, girls a few rows back from me (not too many, I was three rows from the back on the floor) kept yelling out "WE LOVE YOU, STINKY!!". Kelley and I had never heard the Rugburns before. I think I liked them, I'm not sure. We were too busy realizing that one of our friends down the hall would be ideal up on that stage and making fun of the ultra-lovey-dovey-makes-you-want-to-retch-couple in front of us. At one point, Kelley leaned over to me and said "They really ought to get a room" to which I replied "Yeah" ... the girl must have heard it because she turned around and glared at me. I'm thinking, I didn't say it!! I didn't say it!! Anyway. Jewel comes in a pretty dress which fit the atmosphere of the concert but was much different than what I'm used to seeing her in. I've got a set list floating around in my coat pocket (written frantically on un-used deposit slips in illegible writing because it was rather dark) if anyone wants it. I haven't seen anyone else post it. I'm pretty sure I got all of the songs down. What I thought was neat was that it was basically all acoustic excpet for light percussion and cello on some of the pieces. The addition of the cello was PHENOMENAL! I couldn't believe how much it added to her songs. While I agree that the band adds a new dimension to her songs, so does the cello and I thought it was great. Oh, in reponse to someone's previous question, I noticed how closely Steve and Jewel were singing when he came on to sing with her. It may have just been because they need to be close to eachother to sing at the mic, I have no idea. But there was one time at the end of a song where he tilted his head *just so* and I'm thinking "He's gonna kiss her!" There faces looked perfectly aligned. It was odd. I don't know if I'd ever be able to be that close with an ex later... but that's another story in itself and I just don't want to go there. So after the concert Kelley and I got out first and waited and waited for everyone else (I guess it would be difficult trying to get out from the balcony). That's when Tegan showed up, along with Ted and Tess (who I didn't see for very long, but they were awfully nice). I don't have any recollection of the two of them from the list though. We looked through some spectacular pictures of Jewel that I'm not sure how were taken, but they were awfully close up and done awfully well. So we stayed outside of the Orpheum for close to and hour I'd guess and finally walked toward Downtown Crossing... but everything was closed. Well, the bars were open, but we had about four or five under 21's (it's not my fault I was born in '77, it isn't!). So we wandered, and wandered... and even Dunkin' Donuts was closed (is that legal?). The few with cars near by decided to go get the cars and pick up the rest. Kelley, Steve, Ted, Tessa, and myself got into Ted's jeep (where I received a delightful little card announcing a new Jordan March that sounds like a train when you open -- gee, thanks, Steve!) and barrelled down the road to pick up the others... except it was a one-way street. Oops. So we kept driving down it, to which Tessa (I think) said, "Well, actually they don't let *any* cars down this road." Oh. But we kept driving. At that point Kelley and I discoverd that even if we left then we'd get back at about 1 AM and I needed to up early Saturday, so we announced that we were off. We were going to take a long walk through the Common and then head back to Durham. The EDA's panicked and offered us Mace until Steve said he was going with us. I guess entrusting our lives with a strange man that we didn't know was safer :) In reality, Steve really is a gentleman with a great sense of humor and by the end of the night, I felt like old friends with him (oh yeah, he even chauffered us to our seats at the Orpheum even though he was up in the mezzanine; it was really neat). So the three of us took a lengthy walk through the common near midnight -- it must have been nearly 60 degrees, I was walking around with out my coat on). We sat by the water for fifteen minutes or so, just being calm. It was really a great way to end a great night (feeling all sentimental and mushy and retrospective and thoughtful now). At any rate, we were nearly accosted by some freaky guy selling a "$20 calendar... Hey, I didn't meant to frighten you..." All righty then. Kelley and I parted with our guide at the T station (we took the orange line, Steve took the red) and made the uneventful drive back to Durham. Sort of uneventful. I fell asleep (that's what less than five hours of sleep the night before will do to you). We got back to campus at about 1:45 AM. I asked Kelley how the drive was. She said "Fine... excpet after a while I started seeing deer and other animals run across the road." What? Apparently, this is what happens when Kelley gets tired. I'm glad I didn't find this out until *after* we got back. So we were at Mast Lot, where we park our cars... and we walked back. It's a 20 minute walk. It was looooooooooong that night. We kept babbling rather incoherently together about nonsense, but decided it had been a worthwhile trip nonetheless and she was glad that I invited her. We got back to our dorm shortly after 2 AM... Asleep by 2:30. And *that*, my friends, was my trip to Boston... One final note, thanks to everyone that was there (I hope I didn't forget any names) for making it such a wonderful night. I discovered how much fun it could be to spend the majority of a day with a group of strangers. I had a really good time and was amazed by the comraderie. You guys are great.

Holyoke college in Massacusettes. It was an eight O'clock show. The Rugburns opened. The name sounded strange, and my first thought was, "Who are these losers?!", but I was soon eating those words. The Rugburns were great! Steve, it turns out, has written some songs with Jewel (which I imagine many of you already know). Jewel came out in a very fuzzy blue/grey sweater and blue jeans to sing a duet with steve from the Rugburns. I'm sorry, I forget the name of the song. They shared the same mic, and their lips were so close to each other that it looked like they were going to touch on several occasion. Talk about hot! OK, so Jewel changes backstage and comes out in a dress for her set, but before she can begin her first song, some loser pulls the fire alarm. The next ten to twenty minutes, theres this loud buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz.... ok, you get the point. Jewel was nothing less than heroic. She started singing along with the buzzing accompanied by her guitar, about the person who pulled the alarm, singing about him being an ugly boy (I'm sure someone recognizes the song), or ugly girl, or ugly boy-girl. Finally the buzzing stopped, to great applause. She did quite a few songs not on any album. So here's the setlist, one of only two I know to have existed. Unfortunately I didn't get to have it autographed or meet her, but I did get the setlist, so here it is. Maybe the other guy posted it already, but I don't know: The list: Near you always Morning Star Little sister Sometimes Foolish games You wre meant for me run tonto run Deep water (the song she dedicated to and wrote for her fans) Fat boy (OK, this song she said she wrote about a boy she grew up with who commited suicide at eighteen because he believed he would never be worthy of love, since he was fat. It was very sad to hear Jewel talk about this.) Random (This is not a song. She sang Race Car Driver here) Thought I saw you Silverlining Random (Again, not a song title, but the set list says random. I forget what she inserted here) Angel Standing by Yodel - ---------- Who will save Amen (There was nothing on the setlist after this, but she finished with a song about her half-brother, who she misses, but does not know where he is, and has lost touch with. Jewel does not consider him a halfbrother, but as her brother, period.) Anyhow, the show was excellent. It was $18.50, general admission. I was near front row center, about five people back. Jewel took center stage, about ten to fifteen feet in front of where I was standing. It was awesome! I just wish I could have met her, as I have so many other Artists I have seen. _________________________________________________________________________ "I'm bleeding pretty colors, yeah, all over myself" Juliana Hatfield. _______________________________________________ :] C-ya CyBert. ------ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 18:00:38 -0500 From: bell@mclv.net Subject: NJC: My new addy..

I am now in college, but in three months I graduate and move into the real world. I am going back to Colorado and looking for a teaching job. Other musical interests include Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Indigo Girls, Moonpools and Caterpillars, Phish, U-2, and others I can not think of right now. I look forward to becoming more active. =) Jen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 22:09:34 -0500 (EST) From: WARKIDZ@aol.com Subject: concert in columbus oh....?? if you are going tell me it's on march 15 and i am going to have no frien= ds there so if one you EDA's are going let me know ok?? eda michelle =3D=DE ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 21:11:02 -0600 From: "Chris G.

The Alaskan singer/songwriter/guitarist has crossed over to such mainstream status -- her 1995 debut album, "Pieces of You," has sold over 2 million copies and she has been nominated for two 1997 Grammy Awards -- that now even bozo jocks show up at her concerts and scream their affection at all the wrong moments. She seemed unfazed by the fuss -- growing up playing the Alaskan bar circuit thickens one's skin -- until she finally cut off one dude with a quick, rude comment and even ruder gesture. The applause was deafening, especially from the many young women there who obviously regard her as a peer and role model. It's easy to be superficial about Jewel. With her blonde good looks and offhand, earthy/innocent sensuality, you expect her to sing "Smelly Cat," the favorite tune of "Friends" flake Phoebe. But Jewel is an engaging, unpretentious performer, and her 80-minute set that included around 20 songs covered a lot of space. She opened with "Near You Always" from her album and offered a healthy dose of its 14 tunes, including "You Were Meant For Me," "Morning Song," and her big hit "Who Will Save Your Soul." But there were also unrecorded songs, new tunes and stories to tell, including one about Bob Dylan's garlic breath. Jewel could sing with waif-like innocence one moment and then belt out a frank, true tale about a jerk who picked her up hitchhiking. Occasionally backed by a cellist, percussionist and members of openers the Rugburns (she joined them earlier), Jewel wore an ankle-length dress that was semi-translucent in the back lit lighting. "I love my life," she giggled near the end, and who could blame her? The San Diego acoustic trio the Rugburns opened with a mix of goofy, intriguing beat-folk. Inspirational song title: "Baby, I'm Gonna Have to Give You up for Lent." Inspirational verse (different song): "Without you ... I'm like a chicken pot pie without the peas." ----------- In addition to this review Jewel also appeared on Boston's WBZ channel 4's eleven o'clock news the nite of the show. They showed several clips of the concert as well as a brief interview from before the show. The interviewer and critic Joyce Kulhawick (who can be very critical) gave her an excellent review:-) I thought the concert was sensational. Every time I see her she improves and shows off more and more of her talents. I love to see her rock with the band, but I think her strength lies in her artistic qualities. The lighting was incredibly dramatic. Opening with Near You Always in the dark was impressive and during Angel Standing By and Amen she actually looked like an angel! She can be a great rocker and I hope she shows that talent off to the rest of the world but I think this type of concert is where her future lies. Just my opinion, Bill ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 21:45:09 -0600 (CST) From: "Tim Gavin, The only true paranormal of the Fu Sheng beaver." Subject: NJC: yodeling and buses I've been playing my JS tapes on my radio when I drive the bus (it's fun, you should all try it). On the editorial page of the paper, there was another of frequent gripes about the campus bus system. He started out rational, but it turned into an unfocused rant halfway through (I think the guy just needs a hug). Anyway, he started complaining, and he said something about the music on the buses. "The other day I heard somone who sounded vaguely like Tori Amos, yodeling! Now, Tori is ok, but yodeling is not. I think they should screen drivers' musical tastes as a hiring qualification." Like I said, unfocused rant. Anyway, at first I was offended, but then I actually felt flattered. I mean, hey, I was mentioned in the paper! But seriously, I've got about three or four dozen good remarks about my music, and quite a few requests for copies of JS tapes, which I had to of course turn down. That was the only complaint I've ever received. I've even had people like the music, and not even know who Jewel is. It's good to know we're all reaching out. tim gavin ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 22:44:53, -0500 From: bill_mccormack@prodigy.com ( BILL MCCORMACK) Subject: NJC re:Sowwy :( "Now, Get Out Of My House" - Steve Poltz Just kidding:-) Bill >Hey I'm really sowwy guys I hate chain letters too, I just thought it >would be kinda cute, for Valentines day but I am trully deeply sowwy, I >really didn't mean to piss anyone off, and I'm sorry AGAIN! > >Any hoo in my opinion (this is to the YWMFM video post btw) Steve Poltz >is *NOT* ugly NOT AT ALL! and I respect others opinions so I won't say >any more. > > On a much happier Cheerier note I thought Jewel looked faboo in that >dress on the Grammy Thing on VH1 if anyone watched I taped it and >everything. > > And if Jewel is Bi or Lesbian what is the biggie I mean I'm bi >and I find it no big deal.

First the Jewel content, I have just stumbled across a POY promo CD with the nice gold stamp on it. A local radio station was giving away about 80 free CDs and no one wanted POY or 3 other crappy CDs. So the lady from the station gave the CDs to my future brother-in-law. He just had to rub it in my face that no one wanted it...they couldn't even give it away. My excuse was that everyone already had it!!! =) Thus ends my JC. Right this second I am listening to Ani DiFranco's Dilate which was given to me by Greg Dunn...Thanks Greg!!! This CD rocks!!!! I am also looking at these absolutely awesome pictures of Melissa Etheridge that Tegan sent me!!! They are so f***ing incredible!!! My room is filled to the brim with things that remind me of the EDAs from pictures, to posters , to tapes, to CDs, to balloons, to an AWESOME Sea World hat, to the devil sticks, and the list just keeps going on!!! I am so lucky to have all of you in my life!! I can't wait!! 17 days until Jewel and the Burns!!!! EVERYONE ONE THAT IS GOING TO BE TALKING TO STEVE POLTZ BEFORE MARCH 12, PLEASE PREPARE HIM FOR MY ARRIVAL INTO HIS LIFE!!! ;-) Columbus, Cleveland AND Detroit!!! AHH!! I am flipping out!!! Shelly is really excited too! I found out that she was on AOL into the wee hours of the morning, while I was skiing, harrassing Tegan, Will, Erica, and Thirza. Sorry guys!! ;-) She has turned into me. I walked into my bedroom...there she was, sitting in front of my computer using a pop bottle in her hand as a mike, singing along with Jewel at the top of her lungs...it WAS NOT a pretty site!!!! ;-) Ok, I'll shut up now!! Wow, Larry and Igor, you were right, I do use a lot of exclamation points in my posts!!! What can I say? I am a happy person!! =) Have a WONDERFUL day!!!!!!!! ~Liz P.S. I am going to Italy/Greece in June!! Yeah!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liz's Ode To Steve Poltz written by Steven J.
