I did find some other interesting ones like Razorblade Suitcase (Bush), Jagged Little Pill (Alanis), and Sheryl Crow's self titled album. I asked the salesperson if Jewel's album was ever publised as a book like those but they couldn't tell me. Has anyone found this book that I am desperately looking for? Does it even exist? P.S.--I'm not talking about a tab-only book. I'm talking about the full notes for the piano, the tabs for the guitar, and the lyrics for vocals. Mark - --- Inside my heart there's an empty room.

Hello all! (he said as he ended his time lurking in the strange world of that some deign to call the Jewel mailing list) As my sister watched the MTV Movie Awards, my Jeweldar kicked, and I walked into the room exactly as she began to play. I thought the performance was pretty good, but it seemed to me as though Jewel got more and more comfortable as the song progressed. Her hands seemed to be constantly looking for something to do. I was interested to see what she did when she had nothing to sing or any music to play but those wacky MTV guys decided to cut away to the partial eclipse of the violin player. Didn't see anything else except for the very funny Scream sketch. I'm still praying to have enough money soon to buy tickets (anywhere) to the LA Lilith Fair. And I just bought the that dog. CD for 4.99 at Best Buy. Could this be the happiest day of my life? {And now, a special one hour episode of Mama's Family.} YES! O BTW, my name's Tony, but please. Call me... Kneep! P.S.

Now, I thought this was a very nice thing to do, for an EDA who own zilch except POY, and have no way of getting any... My opinion..

After first seeing this question, with no knowledge of her personal taste, the first car that popped into my head was a white VW Cabriolet. Then after reading about her old beat up honda, the next is that I have an 85 grey honda. Of course then I remember her humble beginnings and What comes up then but and old Range Rover or Bronco.

The performance wasn't flawless, she did look tired and her voice cracked quite a bit, but it was our lovely Jewel. The effort and emotion she put into the performance was great though. You could really feel where the song was coming from, her heart. I just hope our little angel gets a lot of rest before she starts the long tiring road for Lilith Fair.

ALl I can say is that my 20th Birthday was the best birthday I have ever had in my life. I got the best gift possible-being surrounded with my beloved EDAs. I am going to take you through my day, because there were some um interesting things before StephStock that I want to tell you all about. I hear the clock...7:23....(sorry my bad attempt at humor)and I just wanted to go back to sleep. The sky was overcast, I was still exhausted, yada yada yada. I forced myself out of bed, and I only realized that it was my birthday while I was brushing my teeth. It was like "Oh, wow, today is supposed to be something...wait...what day is it? Oh yeah, it's my birthday. I just want to go to sleep." I force my ass to get ready and go to work, and I arrive at my morning job at the computer center at school only to find email from one of my adopted newbies, one of my "children," Janeene. What a sweetie! Janeene, good luck with the rest of your finals! I love you! So I go to my other job to find a card from both of my bosses, in which they make references to the fact that in only one year I can "legally" go to bars. HA! ANd I get emails from two more of my adopted newbies, wishing me a happy birthday. Aww, you guys, my boys, Tony and CJ, brought such smiles to my face! I love you! ANd I get on IRC not knowing that I am in store for the biggest surprise of my life. Gianny honey comes on line and tells me that he was trying to make his way down here, to Pennsylvania, all the way from Toronto just to be with me on my birthday. Unfortunately, his boss would not let him off work for the night. Gianny, when you told me that you were even just trying to come down, that was the biggest surprise ever...wow...you made me cry so much!!!!! I LOVE YOU MADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then Puddie comes on. Erica, every five minutes, wrote "HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!!!!!!!" ANd after that she and I always got into this "I love you"/"No I love YOU" exchange. Really, Erica, I love you to bits. =) Then TOm ccomes to pick me up from work. Here to find out that the squirrels at the park ran away clutching bags of burger buns in their mouths, so that meant a quick trip to the carryout for us. And we arrive at the park. I see all these little neon colored signs that say "EDAs for Stephstock" and there is an arrow. ANd TOm and I arrive at our pavillion, and I see Tina and Lauren sitting there. I start going crazy inthe car, screaming "Oh my GOd its Tina nd Lauren!!!" I am surprised that Tom did not go deaf. So TOm says "do not leave the vehicle until it ocmes to a complete stop." I laugh, and run out of the car, throw my stuff on the ground, and give Tina and Lauren huge hugs. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I give Tom a hug, I am surprised that I didn't knock him over (and you wanna talk about who will tackle who?!?) Lauren then gives me my birthday gift. Ice cream. No, this is not just ANY ice cream, this is really special stuff...it's her favourite brand and flavour of ice cream. So she and I whipped out tow spoons and had an appetizer of pre-dinner ice cream. hee hee hee. And then Lauren and I want to go looking for rainbows, cuz it was sunny but there were a few raindrops coming down here and there. After a few minutes of gazing into a rainow-less sky, we agree that it's not rainy enough for rainbows to show themselves. And then Ali comes. Girl, you are the best! SHe is such a sweetie. If anyone ever gets the chance to meet Ali, totally go for it. It was her first EDA gathering, and I hope we were not too looney for her (and Ali, rmeember this is us sober...imagine if there were alcohol in the picture...hrmm...hee hee hee). I find out that almost every day she swims literally two blocks from my apartment (ok, maybe it's 3 or 4, big deal). Girl we MUST hang out. You totally rock. I love you ALi!!!!! ANd then comes Tom PRoven and Selena and her kids. As soon as I see TOm I get in this huge bear hug with him. I was so excited to FINALLY meet Selena. I had heard so many trillions of great things about her that it wasli ke wow..>THE selena!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! SHe is so sweet. and hilarious. She not only brought Proven and the kids, but she brought a volleyball. We hung out for a while, talked, and mentioned different EDAs. Each time someone was mentioned, I would say "aww, I love him/her." After a while Selena was like "damn you just love everyone, eh?" Hee hee hee. ANd yes of course everyone tried to tickle me even though they just have to wave their fingers around and don't have to reallytickle me. Hey, what would an EDA get together with me there be without tickling?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Selena and TOm PRoven decide to put that volleyball to good use. They played what I call "Pavillion Volleyball" by using the roof of the pavillion as their net. It was so funny! And then Josh Baummer showed up. His mom was a saviour, she brought a camera for us to use!!! YAY!!!! He so totally rocks. Then I went in search of a bathroom only to see Tammy driving past me and waving. FOrget the bathroom. I wanted to see my Tammy and Rob and the kids!!!!!!!! I ran after them, chasing the car, in my sandals which were like falling off my feet at that point. It was so funny. Then TOm (Miles) and I fight over who gets to hug Tammy first. He won. Oh well. TAMMY BROUGHT BRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Tammy gives good brie" Tammy gave me the gift that keeps on giving...ANGEL FOOD! YAY!!!! Katerina and I proceeded to try to tackle each other and tickle each other to death. I LOVE that girl!!!!! Lauren's friends come, well, it was the younger brother, JT, of her friend Andy (who I must say is one cool dude). Then Andy shows up. After Andy comes JT dissappears. He took Andys car. And he only had his drivers permit for four days!!!!! Weird...heh... (YEs, ANdy, I know Fritz Wenzler)... Crunch shows up then, and I run up to his car, jumping around and screaming with excitement. I love my Crunch. I love Mark madly. He so totally rocks. And he is an INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE hugger. And he was wearing a cool Mister Happy t-shirt. =) I did not at all expect Jon Reade to come, but he did. He so totally rocks. I love him, he is one of the only people I know who can crack me up 100% of the time. I love you Jon!!! Tom Miles turned himself into Barbeque man and wasl ike "who wants hotdogs and who wants burgers..." hee hee hee. So we talked, we ate, we had fun. We looked at Tammy's pictures of the Great EDAdventure (and yes I saw the FAMOUS puicture of Farr with his finger up his nose...) and I saw the FUNNIEST picture of Dave Tsang (aww, I lovey ou, sweetie) with his tongue sticking out. It was so funny. Tom forced me to go away from the pavillion and sent Ali to take me on a walk. Then TIna screamed for us to come back to the pavillion, and on our way back she took some pretty little weed flowers and made me a flower crown. I go back to the pavillion to see my beautiful birthday cake. =) =) =) Everyone sings Happy Birthday to me, and I had to blow out my candles. Yes, thank you very much, I got it all done with one blow. I didn't need to wish for anything, because I had everything...I have everything...I was surrounded with my family, I was "surrounded with beauty," and I was in complete heaven. =) =) =) I cried, I was so happy. =) =) =) =) =) I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom makes me cut the cake, and Jon make jokes about how everyone should feed me cake (one thing y'all must know...Jon is hilarious and has a way of turning everything into stuff that's full of sexual inuendos...hee hee hee...). FInally Lauren and Tina and Josh and TOm Miles decide to eat their cake with no utensils and no hands. Yes!!! They shoved their faces into the cake and just went for it. It was so funny. Josh and TOm got icing ALL OVER!!! At one point, I thought that Tom got cake up his nose, but I wasn't sure. Lauren was nice and neat and slow about it all. And then Andy just went for it and inhaled it in three bites. It was awesome!!!!! Unfortunately, it was around then that PRoven and Selena had to elave. I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all sit around and talk, and Jon makes jokes, and we find that he has some fascination with PIGS. And also there is the "Jon is a wild boar." hee hee hee. We all gather around for Poetry Time. I read, and I am bawling my eyes out. TOm passes around the package of tissues to everyone. Jon comments on the intensity of my poetry. I kept on telling everyone to not clap after each poem, cuz I was getting embarrassed. And I kept on asking people "are you bored? If you are let me know." ANd Lauren at one point told me that I was "really good, incredible." That was enough to get me crying again...I was a mess. Time for more hugs from TOm! =) =) =) Oh, people, TOm is an INCREDIBLE hugger. And then we need to take a break. We take tons of pictures (Andy became "Photo Man"), because Crunch had the film, and because Tammy was about to leave. =(She and ROb and the kiddies had ot go home. =( =( =( I LOVEY OU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never before imagined that people who I had seen once before in my whole life would love me enough to drive all the way from Old Bridge, NJ, a 3 hour drive, just to see me on my birthday. You all are some of the most beautiful people I know, and I love my mommy and daddy. =) =) =) Whenever I think about that and how you came to my birthday, I just cry happy tears. =) =) =) I love you. I love you. I love you. I was telling everyone that i loved them. (I love you and you and you and you and you.....) Lauren read a couple poems. Her stuff is so beautiful. Really sweet, pretty pictures. ANd then we realized it was time to pack up and leave. We were packing up cars and stuff, and finally I was forced to take home the birthday cake. hee hee hee. Crunch, what a sweetie, he gave me a bag of crunches. He is such a cutie! He went around taking tons and tons of pictures...he made Ali strike a pose. He almost made me do that, but I was like "no I want you in the picture with me!" So I got to cuddle up to Mark for a picture. =) =) =) Oh, Lauren's ice cream she was giving to me was totally melted by then. Jon dipped in a finger, got out some gloppy melted ice cream, and proceeded to smear it on my face. What a nut! Then the park ranger came and informed us that it was 5 minutes past 10 and we better leave or else he will give us a fine for tresspassing. What a loser! We were obviously pakcing our cars, saying our goodbyes, and getting ready to leave. So our goodbyes got cut short, and I screamed I love you!!!!!! to everyone. I was ready to bawl my eyes out, because I love everyone amd missed them already, and saying goodbye to people, even people who live so close by that I know I will see them relatively often, is hard for me. Especialyl when it's people who are parts of me who are mah family and hwo I love so insanely. So TOm and I went to drive Tina and Josh home. The whole way we were listening to Rugburns and belting out "Hitchhiker Joe" over and over again. THat's the only reason why I didn't start crying again ....how can you when you are singing about Hitchhiker Joe?!?!? =) =) =) So we got to TIna's apartment and hung out there for a bit, checked email, and said goodbye to her and Josh. Then TOm drove me home. And I had to say goodbye to him, which I did not want to do, even though I am seeing him TONIGHT. Duh! I love TOm. I love Tom. I love Tomturkeyhoneysweetieloveydoveysexxystudlybigbrotherofmine. He is the bestest in the whole wide world. THank you to EVERY SINGLE PERSON who came, who said happy birthday, who wanted to come, who is an EDA. I LOVE EVERYONE MADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y'all are THE BEST!!!!!!!! WQOrds can not express how happy I was yesterday and how happy I am today and how happy I am because all of you are in my life. Words can not express the love I feel for all of you and how it's like being in heaven whenever I talk to y'all, read emails from y'all, see y'all, whatever. You are incredible. You are the best. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO that is my StephStock recap for now. I know I forgot a ton of stuff, but I am so exhausted and my throat is killing me.

The floor was opened to all EDAs who are interested in helping, but things appear to be caught in a catch-22. The EDAF needs EDAs to find its direction, and EDAs need to know what direction the EDAF is going in before they have any idea how they can help or if they even want to be a part. As was brought up earlier, it's very true that EDAs will always be free (and should if they can) to help locally and contribute to whichever causes they feel are most important. The EDAs have done a lot of truly wonderful things, and in our own ways each of us has done the best we can to help make someone else's life a little bit better. This to me is the true strength of being EDAs, so don't stop! I don't believe the EDAF is in any way trying to replace that. One image I saw in the EDAF is that the idea has the potential of becoming a much larger entity contributing to causes like JPK. As a non-profit organization, the EDAF could solicit official support/sponsorshop (financial or otherwise) from musical performers, corporations, record companies, etc. Under the umbrella of incorporation, the EDAF could even hold or sponsor events like concerts to help showcase new artists, etc. Now I'm not saying these things will happen, but these are the doors of possibilities that can be opened by the EDAF should it go the route of incorporation as a non-profit organization. As someone who was once on the Board of Directors of a non-profit organization I can tell you that should the EDAF go this route, the time commitment will be extensive, the worry stressful, and all of your time donated. I know when I stepped down from my former post, it felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. People who are looking for prestige, ego, or ranking order should not apply. Organizations like these don't need the problems that these people cause. The only people who should apply are those who truly have the time, have big hearts, can work with groups, have good communication skills, and who will work with the possibility of little or no reward. The idea of the EDAF I believe is a good one, but even if the potential I see in its possible purpose is great, it will still be nothing without the EDAs. If anyone has anymore ideas, post 'em! :) Albert Wang Dark Seraph bahamude@user1.channel1.com Jewel Quotes and QTs http://hugse1.harvard.edu/~wangal/jewel.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 14:57:10 +0000 From: "Nathan" Subject: Re: EDAF Re: just my two cents > Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 15:42:41 -0400 > From: wdb@obl.bidmc.harvard.edu (William D.

I was getting the impression that the good deeds of the EDAs were spontaneous and charmingly disorganized. Having a hierarchy might wind up being a little like making a church out of a religion. It's a really quick way to kill enthusiasm. Again, I haven't been here long enough to have participated in anything, but I have been reading and I thought I'd offer my two cents.
