About a week ago (or so), I sent out information on how to join the Jewel Web Ring (see below). Unfortunately, www.webring.org was down for a few days (ouch!) and only four web sites are currently on the Jewel Web Ring. WHAT'S A WEB RING? A Web Ring is basically a way of allowing people to traverse from one Jewel Site to another by simply hitting a "Next" button. That way, once a Jewel fan finds one web site on the Jewel Web Ring, he/she may go check out all of the other sites without searching at all. :) If I'm unclear (no big surprise), just e-mail me. =) WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET ON THE JEWEL WEB RING? You will need to put some HTML code on your page which includes an image map to allow users to click on in order to naviage. You will also need to fill out a form and get approval (easy). Simply go to the Jewel Web Ring page (http://www.endor.org/jewel/ring.html) and follow the three steps. WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE YOUR IMAGES? You may make your own. :) This may be a good idea for it to match your page layout better anyway. If you do, simply create a matching image map (or ask me to) and if you don't mind other people using it, let me know so that I can grab the HTML code and put it up on the intro page. WOW! THIS IS COOL. HOW DO I FIND OTHER WEB RINGS OR MAKE MY OWN? Go to the Web Ring page (http://www.webring.org) and check out what services they offer. It is completely free and you can find other topical web rings on the list(s) also. - --- Gerrit - -- "Under capitalism, man exploits man.

Basically, a couple things I forgot. #1. Right after Jewel & Steve got off their bus in Columbus, a security guard comes up to us (now remember, we are a bit aways from the stage door, where a bunch of people had accumulated, waiting for Jewel to come out supposedly.) He bypasses these people and asks, SECURITY GUY: "Which one of you is Erin?" SHELLY, LIZ, TIM: (huh?) LIZ: "Umm, my name is Liz!" SHELLY: "I'm Shelly!" TIM: "I'm the Bastard!" (that last comment may or may have not been said out loud.) SECURITY GUY: "Jewel said that Erin could come inside, and that she was a girl with blonde hair, but since none of you are Erin..." (walks away) Later this same security guard gave us Steve Poltz's guitar pick. We don't know if he was making this up, but we know that if Liz or Shelly had claimed to be Erin, they would have gotten in for soundcheck. Or something, but we didn't know at the time, it would have been interesting. And Liz would never abandon Shelly and me, and Shelly would never abandon Liz and me, right?? Right?? I'm not hearing any answers, Shelly. #2. During the Detroit show, Jewel says, JEWEL: "Erin, Erin are you here?" CROWD: "I'm Erin!!!" JEWEL: "You're not Erin. Erin is black and has dreads." Later Aaron did arrive and get a hug from Jewel. Basic conclusion: Jewel knows a lot of people whose name is Erin. Or Aaron. #3. During the Detroit Rugburns set, after Lockjaw I'd say, Steve comes to the front of the stage. He says to me, I'm going to stage dive. Well, for those of you who haven't met me, I'm rather slight of stature. The guy next to me, well, he was a big guy. So Steve jumps off the 3-ft. stage onto this guy, who catches him. Steve says, pass me up. Now imagine this. People are sitting down, trying to crowd surf Steve Poltz. It isn't going to work sitting down, folks. In the end, Steve thanks the girl who grabbed his butt (says she can do it any time) ... I wish I could have seen the expression on Liz's face when he said it. Steve looks down at me and says, STEVE: "Now you can tell everyone they were stage diving at the Jewel concert." Totally random!

What I got from the ad was that these shows are live from one of the Hard Rock Cafe's and would feature hot artists of the day and of course the memorabelia featured in every location. But here's the JC. Our very own Jewel is the featured artist of the Premiere Show. I believe the date was March 30th and it's around 9 or 10 pm eas. Anyway keep your eye's peeled on VH1 for that ad and correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello Hello Hello- I am in a wonderfully good mood because I just took the last final of my undergraduate college career!! WOOOHOOOO!! It's over!! Okay, so I'll finish with the rest of my crazy weekend.... I left off in Columbus with Stinky and I discussing plans for the next day in Detroit. He told me to get there early and look for his bus, then we could hang out, do lunch, or something because they didn't have soundcheck until 4:00. So Liz, Mia, Tim and I arrive around noon and immediately located the bus. We then met Dan Stark who pulled up minutes later and made our way to where the bus was parked. I asked the security guard (who took his job way too seriously) if Stinky and John were inside. He lied of course, those guards seem to do that often, and said they weren't around and wouldn't be there til much later. Well we knew better!! So after much persuasion by the rest of the gang, I walked over to knock on the bus. I didn't want to do it, I felt really stupid!!! But luckily Stinky was walking off at the same time so I was very relieved. He didn't look too happy to be awake. Must have been all that Jim Beam we were drinking :-)! He greeted me with a hug and then he started walking up and down the street to check things out. We all kind of stared at eachother and didn't know quite what to do so I suggested we go eat somewhere. As we were walking to Dan's rockin' 89X / 93.9 van, Stinky was walking towards us and we invited him to lunch. He declined and said he was just gonna stick around there. Then he called me over and invited me to stay and hang out with him. What to do, what to do? Of course I wanted to stay, but I didn't want my counterparts to get angry. So that little burst of selfishness came over me again and I decided to stay. The van pulled away and Stinky and I found a ledge to sit on outside and we chatted and smoked a while. We were getting too cold so we went on the bus and made our way to the couches in the back and relaxed and talked. He was very tired and so was I and we pretty much almost fell asleep until Colm, Mike, and Jeff (all crew guys) came in. We talked for them for a little and decided to move to the front of the bus and let them take care of business. John Castro came back from his shower and we talked with him for a while. The three of us decided to go inside the venue and eat, so I made sure I gave that security guy a nice little" ha-ha " smile as I walked by him!! What a butthead! We went down into the "green room" and joined the whole crew for lunch. I wasn't very hungry, I think I was just way too excited. So Stinky and I shared some fruit and we read the paper and chatted with everyone. Everybody was so nice and friendly! Great conversationalists! So then we went back on the bus and hung out some more, then Stinky looked at the clock and said "Holy Shit, it's 3:40, I have to be at sound check in 20 minutes!" So we stepped off the bus just as the EDA crew was returning from lunch. So as Tim explained, we left and went to Dan's house, Second City, etc, etc! I don't know if this is too long so I'm gonna start a new one.. hang on......... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 13:44:33 EST From: toweringsis@juno.com (Shelly L Cook) Subject: Adventures w/ Sinky cont....... Ok, so we went inside the venue, Tim and I bought some hot dogs, and we went to find our seats. On the way we ran into Steve and I offered him a bite of my hot dog. "Oh no thanks, I just ate, do you have any gum though? I just ate some Thai food (I think thats what he said) and my breath is horrible" So I gave him a piece of Big Red which I must proudly say, he was chewing on stage during their set!! Liz brought up a good point that maybe that very piece of gum might end up in Jewel's mouth later, if you know what I mean!! They have been getting awfully close on stage!! Ha Ha!! So we scouted out our seats and cursed at that Bastard- Tim 'Burkeman' for his incredible seat! We missed you sitting with us Tim, it just wasn't the same. So the Burns came out and were awesome as usual! Liz and I stood and danced and sang the entire show because of the location of our seats, we weren't in anybody's way! That was fun!! They played "Pile on a hangover" for Liz, which she requested to Steve earlier! So after their set they came out as usual and were mobbed by screaming, glittery-faced teenagers (I don't understand the glitter either Tim!). Stinky came up to us in our seats and gave me a big hug, he's so cute!! So Jewel's set was really short, she didn't look like she wanted to be there, and the crowd was kinda rude. I guess I've been spoiled with Jewestock so it's hard to compete with that! The Columbus show was much better! She was beautiful and angelic as usual though, and I hung on her every word! After the show we were in the lobby and Stinky walked up next to me and started signing autographs. They had the day off on Monday so there were plans by all, including Bibi-she told us so, to become extremely intoxicated that evening. The Burns were going to the bars and he invited me but Lizzie was too young and I had a final at 8:00 am the next day so I knew we just needed to go!! He took my number, like he'll really ever call, but nice gesture I thought! So we said our goodbye's, boohoo, and I walked over to say goodbye to Steve. Wow, can the man be any hotter, I mean really!! He thanked me for coming to both shows and he gave me a KISS!!! Oh yes, my lips were touched by his, it was magical!! Liz got one too!! Yeah Liz, it was a dream come true. I actually gave Steve permission to kiss her, he kind of looked over at me for approval! He told me he really liked my jacket (Yeah!) and we said goodbye. As we were walking out, John came over and thanked us for everything, I think we should have been the ones thanking you John, but hey that's ok! He kissed and hugged both Liz and I, and Tim stood there with his lips puckered up waiting for his kiss but he was denied! Just kidding Tim! I know you wanted a kiss though ;-)! So we made our way to my car with pouty lips and puppy dog eyes. It was over, we were very sad! We had to say goodbye to Dan and Mia too, which made us even more sad! So the drive home was depressing, I think I counted the phrase "Oh my god" coming out of one of our mouths like 50 plus times! We couldn't believe how lucky we were! So that's my adventure with Stinky and the Rugburns, It was absolutely incredible!! Thank you to Liz, Tim, Mia, Gerrit, Lauren, and Dan "the van driving man" Stark for making it so memorable and for putting up with me!! You are all Angels! Sorry if I forgot anyone, my brain hasn't been functioning quite the same since Saturday!!

I'm sure you have, but did you choose as I did? Oh, how I hope to see you there. To meet you, to love you, to know you care. So do this now, but not just for me. Accept your ticket; meet me in eternity. ~John :) cummings.65@osu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 16:07:31 -0500 (EST) From: the emperor of smurfs Subject: Re: your mail jeff wrote: > She just ran in the bus and gave a quick wave.

I do not remember if I posted this poem to the list or not, so if I did, please disregard, but if I didn't, then here I am, avout to share this poem with all of you guys... I am not sure if my stuff is good at all (I have no self esteem whatsoever), and I willingly accept any and all comments & criticism. So if you hate it feel free tooemail me and tell me I suck. Here goes... Letter to My Unborn Child (for I fear) by Stephanie Maria Kartalopoulos My dear child, you will never read this- for I fear I will not live that long. My dear child, you will never see the light of day, nor will you close your eyes to the setting sun, for I fear I am not strong. My dear child, you will never hear the sound of your own laughter, and you will not feel soft silk held against your cheek, for I fear I have failed you. My dear child, you will never jump in piles of autumn leaves, you will never roll down grassy hills, for I fear my weakness is in control. My dear child, you will never pick wildflowers, nor will you smell roses with lovers, for I fear my life is not life. My dear child, you will never call me "mommy" and you will never hold my hand when you are frightened, for I fear life itself. My dear child- you must understand- "unborn" is the painful gift I give you- for I fear this world will bring you sadness it has brought to me. My dear child, absence of pain is my gift to you- though the longing it brings is insatiable- for I fear you will feel as helpless as I have felt. My dear child, your soul shall eternally rest in heaven- with its complete wisdom- for I fear I will spare your descent to this world. for I fear life itself- for I fear I am not strong- for I fear I will not live that long- know that I love you.

Yeah; when I saw her on 8/15/95 (grin) I was the only person to follow her out to the tour bus; I had her all to myself for maybe ten minutes. Divide that by 100 fans and you'll see how much time she has for each fan; she had to leave soon after the Indy show, so there was no way she could have hung around for an hour to chat. Dave's got it right; no matter what Jewel would like to do, she can't possibly spend a minute each with 100 fans and still have a schedule. I think Tori manages well, and still plays small venues without major problems. Ultimately this will settle down and Jewel will get her life back; maybe then she'll be able to relax and interact with her fans a little more. Till then let's be glad that her music is reaching more people every day. I've seen some encouraging posts from real new newbies this month, which indicates that we're not being flooded by trendies. :-) This list seems to attract EDAs who appreciate Jewel, and that's good. - -- | Greg Dunn | "Information is not knowledge; | | GregDunn@aol.com | knowledge is not wisdom; | | GregDunn@indy.net | wisdom is not truth." | | http://members.aol.com/gregdunn/ | Frank Zappa | ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 16:43:45 -0500 From: wdb@obl.bidmc.harvard.edu (William D.

And now I'm reading Rock She Wrote, a collection of music writings by women that is really fascinating. Here's a little something they quote by Patti Smith that I like a lot: Rock n roll is dream soup. whats your brand? mine has turned over. mine is almost at the bottom of the bowl. early arthur lee. smokey robinson. blonde on blonde. its gone. the formula is changed. theres new recipes. new ear drums. rock n roll is being invented. just like truth. its not for me but its there. its fresh fruit. its dream soup. :) Rachel (rkb200@is5.nyu.edu) "oh luck is on my side i celebrate my life don't try to come don't pin me down with vows and flowers" -- echobelly, "father ruler king computer" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 17:16:40 -0500 (EST) From: Ghedan@aol.com Subject: Comics Ashe Mayfair wrote: >about to start in the middel!!).

I haven't seen a >new issue in mouths so I'm starting to wonder. Sam Kieth's The Maxx is brilliant. I'm a fanatic. The cartoon was on MTV on Oddities. I believe the issue # is 27. At least, it was 3 weeks ago and he only releases one about every 6 weeks. His schedules are always extremely irregular and he has at times gone for months without putting out a new one. I got my letter published in there twice! If people don't want to start on 1, start on 21, they skip ten years at that point. Don't disregard The Maxx because it's a comic, it's deep and plot centered. Impossible to follow. It often delves deep into the unconscious mind of the characters, much like what I've heard of The Sandman. Sam Kieth worked with Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman.
