Melissa: commentator at large I have finally become an angelic one! 0:) Yey!! Oh yes, let me introduce myself, I'm Melissa! I am a recent Jewel fan, and for the whole schpiel on my new Jewel fascination, please do mail me ... tcbcdisc@msn.com! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and address a few things [in a digested format!].... 01... _Signin' Up & Receiving the First Digest!!_ I signed up for EveryDay Angels last night and I waited patiently {*very* patiently :)} for a digest. I recieved it tonight, and was overjoyed! *ALreADy* I can feel the awesome vibes on this list. I'm on another, the dmb mailing list [nancies!], and it is also filled w/ good vibes, although, not as often as it used to be. I needed to come to a list that would accept **everyone**, and going to the whole Netiquette Guide was a great experience b/c I recieved so much information about the list! The AAN program is an awesome idea, and having the whole JewelStock reunion is great [I wish I could go!!! :)]!! I could tell this list was going to be very friendly. :) 02... _These Awesome ViBeS!!_ So, I'm going through my digest, just readin' and scrolling and I am *AmAzED* at the whole intelligence of this list. Albert Wang had a great dissertation on enlightenment [with that simple Buddhist touch, no less]! Recieved was also a Jewel Dream [Hunter Eggink's] which found him being Jewel! That was awesome to read -- Kudos to you! :) Needless to say, this list is involved, creative and just plain great already!! 03... As you can probably tell, I'm pretty hyped up about my first EDA experience! :) Thanks for makin' it awesome! It sounds like there's a great bond that's just here. And that's a great thing to have! 04... Because of my hyperness, and since I'm pretty much *up* right now, please feel free to mail me at tcbcdisc@msn.com, just to talk, chat, whatever! :) I promise to mail back since I absolutely Love mail! =) 05... Thanks for the memories! Talk to you all later. :) ~Melissa~ and if nothing can be done, we'll make the best of what's around ~djm~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 1997 18:55:18 -0400 From: David McCluskey <6djm@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: LC: The Tape Bag Ok. About the 'Tape Bag' and trading mix tapes: These were just posted... >In addition to music we like, could we include music >we've written (and recorded, of course) ourselves? >i think that the creativity of EDAs should be wholeheartedly welcomed >and encouraged in this project! i would also suggets that EDAs try to >create fun j-cards too. i often make persoanlized jcards when i give >tapes to special friends :) >The only >requirment (as far as I can tell) is you have to mix. You have to put >more than.... 8.... yeah 8 artests on there. Thats good right??? There are NO RULES (other than don't use it as an outlet to pirate complete recordings). The tape you make is up to you and should reflect you. If you think someone would like to hear you singing in the shower (or if you want to make them hear it ;) ), then PUT IT ON. Creative j-cards (otherwise known as tape covers), and mixing as many different artists as possible are definitely encouraged because they make a fun mix. This is a good way to get people interested in many artists they may never have considered, so it's a good a idea NOT to include Jewel (I'm assuming most of us are already fans). C'mon, now. You've all probably made mix tapes before (even if it was just for you), so have fun.

Well, the subject says it all. If you missed Jewel on Saturday Night Live two months ago, here is your chance :) It's being repeated next Saturday the 19th. If my memory serves correctly at this hour of the morning, John Goodman was the host. Also, keep an eye out for a *hilarious* sketch in the first half hour in a Jeopardy (tm) spoof. :) Bearsville 97 campers! Bring them battery operated TV portables! I don't know, guess it was just a feeling, but somehow I knew Jewel would come through and perform for the campers on the anniversary of Jewelstock ;) Mike :) **** The Jewel Mailing List Netiquette & New Member Guide at: http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup Bearsville97/JewelStock Reunion/EDA Gathering site at: http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup/bv97/bv97.htm Ducksoup@spectra.net DuckofPrey@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 01:55:11 -0400 (EDT) From: Rivers8805@aol.com Subject: not about jewel ..... angels -- Since all of you are the most caring individuals around, I thought I would share some tragic news with you, and ask for your prayers. On July 8th, Mykel, Carli and Trysta Allen died in a car accident. I'm sure that most of you don't know who they are, but Mykel and Carli ran the weezer fan club and were fan club member #0001 and #0002 respectively. Trysta was their little, only 18, sister. They were on their way home from a Weezer concert. Mykel and Carli were two of the sweetest women alive. They talked to fans online, on the phone, at shows, and always did favors for any and all weezer fans, and everyone else. I had the pleasure of meeting them both, and I considered both of them friends. Trysta was also just like her sisters, always sweet and willing to help others. So, I ask all of you to keep these three angels in your prayers. *Megan* a shocked and sad angel =( ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 02:06:38 -0400 (EDT) From: Princess Subject: Jewel Sighting There is a lovely picture of Jewel with Michel Francoeur in the August issue of In Style Magaine.

Today I went to the theatres and before showing the movie they were playing some music, which included FG. Now if only the local radio stations would do likewise. Anyway, on to my point. It dawned on my today that "Fritz Creek Store" was supposed to come out last Jan. Since we're now in July, that was 6 months ago, and in another six months it'll be Jan again and near the time when the new album should be released. So I guess we're halfway there!

Even though I was slightly disappointed that Jewel exited so quickly at the Irvin Lilith Fair, it's very possible that it's due to the death of her grandmother and she's going through a grieving period. So let's not diss her for not having encores but lend her all of our support and love. I am still consider myself lucky to have finally seen Jewel live and I don't think I'll ever forget the experience. BTW do you think we should maybe send a letter of our support and gratitute to Jewel thru someone like Mr.BB to help get Jewel thru this busy and (perhaps)rough period?

The first occasion was on Thursday. I was planning on meeting my g-f at the shopping mall near her home. I was early, so I thought I'd use the time to get disappointed by the absence of Jewel CDs anywhere to be found. I walked into a store, and was caught completely offguard, by a whole shelf (ie, about 10 copies) of PoY. This may not seem like much, but you must remember that Jewel is less famous here now then she was in the US when PoY was created. On Saturday I went to the Bar-Mitzvah of a cousin of mine. It was at another relative's house, as the Bar-Mitzvah boy came all the way from South Africa to celebrate it. I spent some time going over the CDs in my niece's room, and was shocked to see YWMFM and FG on collection CDs. This is the first person in Israel who knew about the existance of Jewel before I told her about it. I realize it's not much (esp considering she spent the last 15 years in Canada), but it really cheered me up after a tiring trip :) Well, I'll let you return to your Jewel-filled lives. 42, Tuff - TIE relurking... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 11:28:48 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: Jewel's grandmother (was Re: shocked at Lilith Fair!) Stanley wrote (about Jewel and the death of her grandmother): > BTW do you think we should maybe send a letter of >our support and gratitute to Jewel thru someone like Mr.BB to help get Jewel >thru this busy and (perhaps)rough period? As far as sending something "thru" Alan, that would be up to him, however he is out of town right now. I do suggest simply mailing a card or letter to the address on the PoY CD. I'm convinced that she will recieve any sympathy cards sent to that address. She is obviously Alaska-based right now, even has concerts scheduled there tonight & tomorrow. With no Lilith Fair dates or other concerts scheduled until the 29th, she'll likely be San Diego based alot and have time to read cards.

Sorry, I don't take the same view as you as far as this case goes. We've got to look to the future. Someday people may reside on Mars, and work and have their families, and I think we need to start realizing that. So buying the land now, while its cheap, and while you can still choose the best location for yourself, you may in fact be helping many causes. First, you will have money left over to spend on your family. Second, you will have money left over to help other people being their new life on Mars. Third, you will have money to donate to either new charities on Mars, or to current charities on this planet. Fourth, you will have money to go part owners in the newest, most advanced space transportation unit. Fifth, you can do many other things that are forbidden here on this planet. Sixth, and final, you can buy hotdogs for everyone with all that left over money! - --Peace-- Joe CABBYBJS@aol.com wrote: > > I can't believe this! Doesn't anyone watch Pocahontas?

I am here to tell you about ysterday, when me, steve messina, thirza pearl, Tom miles, Abel Rosario, Stephanie Kartolopoulos (did I spellit right?), Pete, Russ Rivera went to NYC to see the Sleater Kinney Concert in Central Park I arrived at Penn Station PROMPTLY at 1pm to meet the rest of them. They did not show up until about 230. We ate some mickey D's, and went to central park to catch the show. I can't really tell you how it was, cause I wasn't really paying attention (not really my kind of music) and besides the fact that it was SO DAMN HOT OUT that I didn't know what to do with myself. After it was over, some incredibly nice man named John Lennon (I swear) hosed and I mean HOSED the crowd down with water. I don't think I would've survived without that. So some of us were soaked, and the others were chicken and didn't want to be soaked in the sweltering heat. Anyway, we went to HMV records (which Steve likes to call HIV records) and spent about an hour in there. I was mad cause the only 2 things I wanted, the single for Foolish Games (which I am obsessed with) and the single for "Fly" by Sugar Ray, were not out yet. Anyway, on to Tower Records, the biggest music store I have ever seen. I went on a storewide SEARCH to find the Batman and Robin Soundtrack on one of those listening station thingees. I FOUND IT!!!!!!~!!!!!!! I went upstairs, and sure enough,there it was. I sat there and listened to Foolish Games all the way through, and for some odd reason, it made me cry, even though I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to cry about these days. Well, that was enough for me. I no longer cared about spending $12.99 for one song, becausae I knew that if I owned that CD it would get $12.99 worth of play from that one song. So I got it! YAY! I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS!!!!! were the words that came out of my mouth about 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times. then we went to get Steve's shoes, which were $89 bucks. I hope they are nice for that much cash! Off to Thirza's house. We had some whipped cream in the bushes, and then ordered Dominos pizza, watched a time to Kill with Dad, and then listened to...what else?...Jewel stuff. Chelsea called for like an hour on Tom's cell phone, which they are now both paying for out the ass. At 1am papa pearl booted us out so we went to TRY to get me home. we were totally lost and pulled over with the map (with more whipped cream) when some nice EMT man stopped and directed us along the correct route, on which we were not. We got to my casa and did the famous (infamous?) EDA goodbye...ps Almost the WHOLE time in the car was spent listening to Foolish Games OVER and OVER again, screaming the words at the top of our lungs...I had soo much fun, thanks guys!!

This is my favorite Jewel video and I watch it all the time. ~Jennifer Bowman :( ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 13:37:41 -0400 (EDT) From: CEarling@aol.com Subject: Anyone else going to NJ, MD, NC?

Now let me make a few comments. > >...what exactly are the ideals of EDAs? If that question was asking everyone on the list for their opinion, we would probably get hundreds of different answers. That makes sense because we are a group of very diversified people. We are of a wide range of ages, race, education and background. As a group, we often present differing opinions. There isn't only one mindset or philosophy or religious belief members of this mailing list adhere to. So I hope that the answer most would give is that there isn't any one ideal common to all EDAs. There also isn't any one person that is the leader of this group of internet fans of Jewel. The ideals that we should have as members of this mailing list should be the same as the ideals we have in our everyday lives. Just because someone is a fan of Jewel's doesn't automatically make them a good person. Just joining this mailing list doesn't mean you should have to adopt a set of new ideals. When you joined this mailing list, you didn't also just join a religion or cult. That also doesn't mean you won't find more than you expected on this list. In order to keep the list healthy and not filled with just fanatics, a balance has evolved during the lists history. We talk about a lot of other artists besides Jewel and we also discuss many other things. Often they concern personal feelings and problems. Through this interaction, many of us have developed new friendships and found many kind hearts. We have also all read some great poems and have gone to a recommended movie or read a suggested book. But not everyone is a nice person. I would like everyone to like me but I know that many do not. That's fine. The real world is not a utopia of people that all love each other and always walk around with smiley faces. Beware of people that always walk around with a smile. They may be much like the circus clown that uses paint to hide the real person. I don't use the list as a hiding place from the real world. > =) I can think of only one thing that says it all: > > "those that add sunshine > into the lives of others > can not keep it from themselves." WARNING:TO MUCH SUNSHINE COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH > =) I have quoted this many times, but in light of > all the recent negative energy on the list, I thought > that it might give benefit to offer it once again. > The point is not to focus on those spreading darkness, > but to strive to spread sunshine, and by doing so, to > bring sunshine to yourself and those around you. What does this "negative energy" new age, space cadet crap mean. Do I have it? If I do, do I need to get rid of it? Is it dangerous? I think it is a subtle way of saying, don't disagree, don't have an opinion of your own, go along with the program, be a zombie. No thanks, I'll keep my negative energy. It serves as a balance to too much, lightning will strike you dead, positive energy. Sunshine - Darkness White - Black Good - Evil Angel - Devil Heaven - Hell If I'm not mistaken, this all starts sounding like a sermon from a priest. I didn't ask to join a church. I remind myself that this is just a mailing list of fans of Jewel. Are the evil persons that are alerting us to the cultists and rip-off artists on this list spreading darkness? I say they are turning on the light and keeping us out of the dark. I thank those people for opening my eyes to reality. > =) Upon quoting this to someone just a few days ago, > I recieved the response, "You are naive."

Most of all don't cower from anyone. Be yourself and don't let anyone keep you from expressing our opinion. "The truth will set you free." But as the writer says "Or maybe I've tried every other way." The one WAY I hope NONE OF YOU TRY TO FOLLOW can be found at the following web site. http://www.webcom.com/way/the-way.html (based on what appeared on the site as of 7/12/97) MAKE YOUR OWN OPINION. The example I use in this post are not meant to slur any one single person. They are only my opinions. This post is also guilty of preaching. If I am preaching anything, it is asking you all to be yourselves. You don't have to adhere to a set of new age rules to belong to this list. If you have a difference of opinion, voice it. Don't just be followers. Play safe and have fun. Joining this mailing list should not be a membership to HEAVENS GATE.

If you're using Windows, you can get a WWORLDS.ZIP, a MOO client program at ftp://jewel.ml.org/pub Unzip, goto setup and enter jewel.ml.org for the IP, 3443 for the port and connect! EDAs are starting to show up on there. I'm hoping to build the Innerchange (with some help) so I can give you guys rooms in there. :) See ya, Felix fng@jewel.ml.org ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 15:20:33 -0400 (EDT) From: AESTHETE99@aol.com Subject: Re: Have you gotten your EDA brainwashing today? In a message dated 7/13/97 6:32:28 PM, you wrote: <> Really?? Damn.......that's disappointing. I had bought my shoes and everything. I was SO ready to be led like a mindless donkey into the mother ship. I thank you, Igor, for your warning. I'm sure that no one who received the "Sunshine" post realized they had a choice to decide whether or not this was a philosophy they wanted to adopt. Personally, after reading it myself, I felt its awesome, unstoppable power invade the depths of my mind and take over any last shred of intellectual independence I had. And then I read your post. And I have been set straight. Seriously now, I agree totally that people should think for themselves. That includes making their own decisions about what ideas they choose to accept or reject. That is freedom. Choices. Let me give you an example. When I think about any particular person in my life, I CHOOSE among the many experiences I have had with them to find those that I feel best make up my opinion of them. So what I choose to remember about you, Igor, is this: I was at a gathering called LizStock several months back. I drove out to Ohio with another friend from this list. We had a great time. We got there and hardly anyone had arrived yet. Liz was so excited that people were coming to see her simply to help her celebrate her birthday. I mean, who else does this kind of thing? Personally, I had never seen it, but granted I have rarely spent time with people who care about each other a lot. So we were all just sitting around talking and there was a knock on the door. Liz went to open it and the look on her face said it all. In walked you, Igor, and Larry. Once she discerned who you were, she could barely contain her emotion. She was touched beyond words that two people she had met on this list flew all the way from California just to be a part of this gathering. We spent the weekend celebrating with her and cheering her on (although, at times, inappropriately) during her broom ball games. I personally spent a couple hours chatting with you and found you effusive and generous. You spoke intimately and honestly about your life with semi-strangers. I remember you awaiting the "party van" in your ridiculous outfit (by Ohio winter standards). And I remember you meeting Selena. Towards the end of our weekend, just a few of us were left. Liz, Shelly, Mark, Larry, me and you were among them. We sat around a table having lunch and had one of the most enjoyable conversations I have had in the past year. That is what *I* remember about you. And if that is no longer you, that's okay, I still look forward to seeing you again in the future. You owe me nothing. And if this memory is still a part of you, I look forward to seeing that again in the future, as well. Either way, I'm happy. Forgive me if I've put a "Sun-shiny" or sentimental perspective on my memories of you. They are only small bits and pieces and in no way represent the "complete" you. But its MY choice to see what I want, hear what I want, and even READ what I want and select the things I like and reject the others. Give us a little credit.
