I got there to find Kelly sitting there waiting - sorry it took = me so long - I had to ask a policeman for directions to McDonald's (damn = is Penn Station huge!!!). I approached her and introduced myself only = after seeing her sitting there playing with her tongue ring (that's how = I knew it was Kelly!). Anyway, Rob and Tammy (with kids) showed up a = few minutes later, and we all hopped in a taxi to go to Chels' hotel. = My first NY taxi trip was an experience - I'm glad we made it there = alive. And we even had an English-speaking cab driver!!! Anyway, we arrived in the hotel lobby and met everyone, saw the Foo = Fighters, and did other stuff that's already been mentioned. We then = headed to Central Park. Since this was my first trip to NYC, I went = into tourist-mode and gawked at every landmark I saw. Man is Central = Park huge!!! We proceeded to munch on some oranges, crackers, and some = cheese with a French name (thanks Rob and Tammy - you guys are the = greatest!!!) Eric and Steve kicked a kooshball around. Erica serenaded = everyone with her "name" songs. Chels kept her promise and tackled me, = followed by Katarina (Rob and Tammy's daughter) sitting on top of me - I = can't wait to see the photos from this one. Then I decided to tackle = Erica just for the heck of it, but I think she ended up breaking a few = of her vertabrae when she hit the ground. I'm sorry Erica!!!! Ok, on to FAO Schwartz. I left to go check into my dorm (heh, hotel) = room, only to find that the room and the closet were about the same = size, with no bathroom and no tv. And yes, as previously mentioned by = Tom-Tom #1, there were babes working at the check-in counter, so I guess = it wasn't such a bad place after all. :) After checking in, we re-joined everyone at FAO Schwartz.

We = met up with everyone about an hour later and killed some time by signing = Steve's lollipop bucket and trying to decide what we were going to do = next.

So, we followed Steve to the Mercury Lounge, only to = learn that the management wasn't allowing anybody under 21 into the = show. So us old fogies got our tix. We then headed back to Chels' = hotel. I finally got to see the penthouse floor since I'd missed it the = first time around (only 41 floors up). And, of course, we rode the = elevator from hell that traveled faster than the speed of light.

Andy wrote: >Am i an EDA just by being on this list? >Or is there something i have to do, or sign up on? >please let me know! Spiritually, in my opinion, the general feeling is that you are an EDA if you are just a tride and true Jewel fan who cares about her music and other Jewel fans, whether or not you are on this mailing list. Of course, not every Jewel fan has a computer or access to Email. Even though this list is the "EveryDay Angels" mailing list and we are called EDAs, being an EDA is a 'frame of mind'/spirit thing. There is no sign-up. On this list, to me, being an EDA means having that spirit. "Hearing" what Jewel is conveying in her music, and perhaps as an added bonus, feeling the amazing togetherness this list has. (more than a few relative 'newbies' partook in the latest EDA gathering....Chelsstock this past weekend.....I *still* think it should have been dubbed Chelsapalooza :) Yes, as with ANY group there is an 'old guard' of folks who seem to know each other alot, but it really is easy for newer folks to 'fit in' somewhat quickly, especially those that can access AOL IMs & chat rooms, and of course IRC/mIRC. Posting to the list helps too. Give the list an opportunity to know you are there and who you are, post and chat away and you'll certainly feel like an EDA before you know it. Also, many list members are quite busy and don't really have the time to post alot or chat alot. They are EDAs too :) All I am really saying is, ff you feel like an EDA, you are an EDA. :) New AOL list members, take note of other AOL list members and add some of them (especially those that post frequently) to your AOL buddy list so you chat with some of us online. I'm DuckOfPrey on AOL. New folk that have IRC, take note of those who mention IRC and/or post their IRC nicknames in their signature files.

Once Upon a Time by Stephanie Maria Kartalopoulos Once upon a time there was a happy child- a glowing bundle of smiles and joy- and this was all once upon a time long before she was old enough to think for herself or old enough to comprehend pain. And then once upon a time something wet came down the little girl's face- tears. now she knew tears of pain tears of loneliness tears of somethin not called love and no longer was she a glowing bundle of smiles and joy. suddenly she became a fragile bundle of longing and despair. Now comes the once upon a time when the little girl grew up and became a woman, empowered with free thought, free emogion, and free choice and she had to use this to break the evil spell of her pain and solitude. Tears, now her friends, again entered her eyes as she realized that the only way was to free herself from the spell which, while it brought enormous pain and suffering, also brought some tiny seeds which she nurtured with her tears and her soul. she had to use her freedoms to allow herself to be free to spread her wings and fly. Maybe some day once upon a time, she will say, she turned the whirlwind of her life around into something that was ready to open the covers of a book and begin her own fairytale.

I guess right now would be the best time to share :) so here goes: If an angel is someone who's filled with love, its a gift that they constantly share, If an angel is someone who looks out for others and gives them a nudge here or there If an angel is someone who touches your life with a heart that's both joyful and wise Then even though you don't have a halo or wings You're an angel in human disguise. This is what I believe an everyday angel should be all these things; and from the everyday angels I've met I think that you are. Im so fortunate to have found such a wonderful group..

When Larry G was asked during an interview about the EDAs he responded with that now famous line, "First we were fans of Jewel, then we became fans of each other." I would like to start a new thread by paraphrasing Larry's quote. First we started out as fans of Jewel, but then she became a fan of us. Jewel is our biggest fan. She loved us enough to give us JewelStock. Then she gave us the JS tapes. She is not our only fan. So is Lenedra. The list has recently been growing. When Steve Poltz and Stinky came to Hot Dog Fest, they came as invited guests. They didn't come as minstrels hired as entertainment. Steve is such a big fan of ours and wanted to show his appreciation and so shared some wonderful music with us. But he also shared a lot of stories. He was having as much fun being there as we were having. From the many recent posts about the Rugburns tour, it is very obvious the Rugburns appreciate our appreciation. And it seems that Tara McLean is also benefiting from being adopted into the family of artists with an EDA stamp of approval. I almost skipped Patti Griffin. But the list is starting to get longer. Cindy Lee Berryhill and Elizabeth Hummel had the highlights of their cross country tour at a small cafe in Ohio with a handful of EDAs and a living room concert in Boston now called the EDA Cafe. Once an artist does get our stamp of approval, they become the envy of the music industry. No where else could an artist get a better group of loyal fans. But the lucky ones have also gotten to meet some of us. Do you think Steve will ever be the same after meeting Liz. At every Rugburns concert when Stinky does what appears to be a drum solo that takes him out to the audience, he is really on an endless search for Shelly. While talking to Elizabeth Hummel on the phone yesterday, she said, "Oh yea, I remember Dennis Harris." How could anyone forget an encounter with a HarrisBros. At the Joy Eden Harrison show the other night, I talked to Cindy. She said, "I think that guy, Mr. BB, really likes my music." Cindy, he loves your music. And so will many more of you once Alan gets the Future Folklore tapes out. A lot of the San Diego artists are hearing the buzz about the EDAs. They are hearing it from the artists we have shown support to. We are starting to get noticed by venue owners, artists managers and even the press. Other people are starting to get what this EDA thing is all about. Two of those people are Paul Williams and Sandy Troy. I will follow up with a post about each of them soon. If any of you have a story about someone that has become a big fan of the EDA phenomena, please post it. If you go to see an artist that has been mentioned on the list and you get to meet them, tell them you heard about them from the EDA list. Proudly let them know you are an EDA. Almost forgot one our most thankful fans, James Paul Kalanick. But many of us have also become a fan and friend of his.

ChelsStock, what can I say?  It was frightening, fun, hilarious, boring, exciting, drawn out, and WAY too short!!!

That is what I wrote when I first made it home (at 6:30 am) after ChelsStock. But now I think it needs more. That's right everyone, it's time for me to speak!  :o)

This was my first EDA gathering, being that the only other gathering I could have gone to was the Great EDAdventure, which occurred the first week I joined.
My day started at... actually, I couldn't sleep, I was way too nervous!   So let me just skip to the meeting place.
THE HOTEL:  [NOTICE: I did not talk much during this event] I walked into the Parker Meridien and passed by a group of tourists (or so I thought at first). I walked passed them and noticed that the rest of the lobby was empty. Using the process of elimination (it's either this group here or... this group here. hmm). I walked up to this group of strangers, still not sure if these were the EDAs. After about a minute of awkward idleness (I wouldn't be able to stand the humiliation if I would ask "Are you the Angels?" and would receive laughter in return, so I stayed quiet), someone (who I now know as Amy) gives me a queried look. I point to the group and say "EDAs?" and she nods. With a sigh of relief (followed by a new wave of fright) I introduce myself to her. Others take notice and introductions begin. Shortly after we left for Central Park (thinking that Russ would meet us there *hard laugh*).
THE PARK:  [NOTICE: I did not talk much during this event] The park served as the "catching up on old times/let's meet the strangers" part of the gathering. There was picture viewing/taking, brie spreading, guitar playing, child rough-housing, hackey sac tossing, and lots of conversation (see notice above) and reminiscing. Next came the toy store.
FAO SCHARTZ:  [NOTICE: I did not talk much during this event] Before entering the store, we met up with Mommy and Daddy Chels, and began to make (somewhat dispute) our plans for what we would do till the Rugburns that night. At this point, small groups were formed and began to head in different directions (some to Tom's hotel and some to FAO Schwartz). At the last moment before the last group of toy  was beyond eye shot, I decided to join them. In the store, there was a brief grouping up, where we rode the elevator from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor, then right back up to the 2nd. Oooooh. Groups split off again, and I stayed with Erica, Tammy, and Katerina(?) where we watched Katerina stomp out a rendition of a musical Dinosaur Attack on a huge piano (yes, like the one in "BIG"). As I rubbed my temples, Thirza appeared and was in search of something squishy. We broke apart from the rest of the group and headed to the Nikeoldeon section. We saw many contendors (Gak, Scented Gak, and Smud) but Zzand was our winner. We went outside to play with our new toy till the others had enough of looking at the outrageously priced artifacts, New York calls toys. Outside we "discussed" our plans and agreed on trying to catch Patti Rothberg at a block party. But first we needed to make a stop at the hotel Chelsea and parents were staying at to make some calls.

We reached the hotel where Rachel showed us her Super Grover, and called Florida on Tom's cellular. We tossed the Zzand around and watched the lamp, by Amy, topple over ("It fell all by itself!"). Russ was contacted and while we waited, Thirza and Kelly both got an itch to go REM & Alanis Morissette hunting. So they moved swiftly through the building (taking me along with them), in search of the celebrities. The search was a failure, but it was worth it, I was able to see Kelly's reaction exalt after looking out the window of the 22nd, 32nd, then 42nd floor ("Oh my god!," "Oh my GOD!," "OH MY GOD!!!"). By the time we returned from the trip to the top of the building, Russ had already arrived. We talked briefly, decided to head to the block party, then headed out of the hotel and into the subway station. THE SUBWAY: [NOTICE: I think you get my point] We waited for the first train for what seemed like forever. Inside the train we played "Beam the Unaware EDA With the Zzand" which turned into a more subtle "Catch the Zzand" on the next train. When stepped out of the subway station, we were greeted by a sight that we hadn't seen all day, "the Sun!" THE BLOCK PARTY: [NOTICE: I did talk SOME during this event] We reached the block party and again small groups were formed, and I tagged along with one group, and moved to another, till I finally anchored myself onto Kelly, Thirza, and (after lunch) Russ. There was lot's of merchandise to look at but our main concentration was concert tapes (by the time we got there, they were out of Jewel stuff :o( ). We regrouped and signed a milk can full of lollipops while we helped ourselves to its contents, and were unsuspectingly video taped (curtousy of Chels' mom). More discussion then off to the Mercury to test the strictness of the 'Over 21' rule. E HOUSTON STREET: [NOTICE: I did not talk much during this event] We walked (and walked and..) down the street that contained the lounge, glimpsing the street gardens, and just basking in the beauty that is New York ("Thank you much, now shut the f#$% up!"). We were heading down this street, minding our own business mind you, when out of nowhere, Steve Poltz appears! Could you imagine!!! Well, at the time he was spotted he was in the middle of a busy street and when the full force of the words, "STEVE!" hit him, he was spun around on his heels. Luckily the cars still were a fair distance away or else, (as someone said at the gathering) "there would have been a lot of ANONYMOUS postings to the list!" We finished the last of the journey to the lounge with Steve and had a brief conversation. While the others surrounded Steve, I stayed in the back and watched the people coming out of the bar. I noticed a women come out, whom I swore I had seen before but couldn't remember where, when Chelsea turned around and said "Patti!" Chelsea and Rothberg talked a little then she (Patti) took off in a taxi. We asked Steve to see if he could get us under 21ers into the show (I mean if he couldn't, who could?), but it didn't turn out as we had anticipated. :o( So we (those of us who didn't go to the show) left to find something else to do... I'm going to bed now (I've been up all night, it almost noon!) My last post will be later tonight. Till then good night/morning/afternoon Angels!

Wow.. First of all i'd like to say that i'm a big fan of Igor :-) Ok, i know i talked breifly about my encounter with Tara Maclean but i forgot to add something... so here goes,... When i first got to her door with her guitarist i mentioned if she remembered Dan Stark, and her response to me was "Oh wow! are you an EDA!?!?" i was taken aback at this, and was very happy to see that she is into the EDA's :-) Then after a little chat she asked me if i knew Chris Snyder and i responded with saying that i knew him from the list but didn't really *know* him, and mentioned that he was from Boston and she nodded... Then, she got the attention of all the others in the room (which were about 4-5 ppl) and introduced me as an EDA.. and they all knew what EDA was :-) Amazing experience to say the least :-) and of course she signed my CD "To Gian, Always great to meet an EDA, Love and Light, Tara" So as you can see, she likes us quite abit :-) And i suggest you go see her if you get the chance, i know i'm repeating myself but she is really a wonderful artist :-) Well that was my story, anyone else? :-) take care... - -Gian- (the self-appointed Tara promoter) ;-) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #423 ***************************
