[PENNY16161@aol] Jewel in Singapore ["Jean" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 20:14:04 EST From: ABershaw@aol.com Subject: MrBB-Jewel Updates, News & EDA Content Galore! Hi All, Where to start? There's some great things in progress (other than the tour of course) & this post will catch you up on news sure to be of interest to everyone here, including calendar stuff clarification. Lets get the calendar stuff out of the way first. We'll have Jewel's website calendar updated accordingly but had little time this past week so here's the missing stuff & a few corrections in a somewhat chronological order. After today, keep checking www.jeweljk.com for more info & future updates. There will be more new appearances on Australian TV during this month but I'm relying on you Aussie EDAs to help me out by posting when you learn about these things. We often don't know info until the day of the tapings. This Saturday Jewel will appear on "Hey Hey Its Saturday" & on March 7th, Australian MTV will be having a "Jewel Day". They'll be broadcasting several Jewel features beginning at 10:00AM. Programs include MTV "FANatic", "Collections"(featuring all of Jewel's videos), a rebroadcast of "JewelTV" & others. See the website calendar for the complete concert schedule. No new info on North American TV appearances other than MTV's BIORhythm has been moved up a day to March 2nd at 10:30PM EST. The other important one is the VH1 "Jewel Rocks The Rockies" special on March 6th. This is the concert that launched "Higher Ground For Humanity" & was recorded at the beautiful Wheeler Opera House in Aspen Colorado this past January 22nd. Moving on, these NEW concert dates have been added in S.E. Asia: March 29 & 30 SINGAPORE TV Promo tapings (check local listings & post info!) Wednesday, March 31 - Harbour Pavilion, SINGAPORE Thursday, April 1 - Putra World Trade Center, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA Other than the public concerts in Japan during the 1st weeks of April, Jewel will be doing quite a bit of Japan TV promo so please post if you know what they are. I'll post what I can on the website calendar but I'm sure to miss a few. Oh & the March 4th previously listed Tokyo show is on March 10th now. All the May UK Concert dates are already on the website, but more Promo TV will surely happen there, as well. Many are writing me about future Europe & especially North American tour dates. PLEASE be patient. I will definitely let the EDAs know in plenty of time! All those "web reports" of the US tour beginning at The Gorge in WA on July 2nd are wrong. The long awaited US tour begins on June 25th & will run all the way through mid August. There's extensive coverage & you long neglected EDAs down south WILL have tour stops this time! :-) Canadian dates too. The 30th Anniversary "Woodstock 99" Festival this summer is also possible. Could that be the biggest Bearsville Reunion or what!? ;-) Also while we're talking tour, I'd just like to address the International EDAs. I have an invitation for you. We'd like to feature your Jewel concert reviews (& setlists if possible) on Jewel's website. I'd like to put the most interesting & informative EDA reviews on Jewel's website on the appropriate calendar dates. Then you'll have a handy resource on the site for setlists, reviews, etc & can easily keep up with the tour as it progresses. We'll continue doing this all year if you'll help. Sound like a good idea? Please contribute & let all online fans enjoy your experiences! OK. Onto lots of NEWS (You still with me?): Last Thursday night Jewel was honored by the United Nations group Time For Peace. TFP's Founders Award was presented to Jewel recognizing her work on the album "Pieces Of You" & poetry book "A Night Without Armor". Jewel shared the award with her mother Nedra Carroll & stated that her inspiration for peace came from Nedra. On Saturday, Jewel & her new band completed the final footage of the new "Down So Long" video in Culver City, CA (at the same studio where "Gone With The Wind" was filmed). Once again, Lawrence Carroll ("Foolish Games" video) directed. Surrounded by friends, road crew & management team, Jewel & the band had a good time getting the final footage completed. It was a reunion & a farewell simultaneously as Jewel, Band & Crew flew off to Australia to begin her World Tour later that night. The video will soon premiere on MTV & VH1 & I'll keep you informed when the exact date is scheduled. The JTeam video crew (BiBi, West & Michael) captured a lot of "behind the scenes" action including some hilarious stuff that may surface in clips on the website & in the "JEWEL HOME VIDEO PROJECT" which is progressing with amazing results! YES, thats right. There will be a major Jewel home video release later this year. I know you've all been patiently waiting for this for a long time & I can assure you it will definitely be worth the wait! Bibi screened some of it for me this past week & I was blown away by the style & how absorbing it was. It captures Jewel's adventures from the days of those early 1995 residency tours traveling around the country in a van through the present. It will feature lots of great never seen performances. It also reveals glimpses of the muse that inspires those working with Jewel. I think all EDAs are gonna flip over this & we hope to have it available to coincide with the US Tour. At the video shoot, I met the talented guitar designer Danny Ferrington (Jewel's blue guitar designer/builder) & he has other talents, hehehe... He built that foldable plywood cow featured on Jewel's Roseanne Show appearance awhile back. He gave me "team roping 101" lessons out on the studio loading dock. Yep, I was lassoing up a storm...NOT! Needless to say, I need a LOT of practice! Out of approx 40 tries, I managed to hit the cow a few times though... (And yes, I'm building my own & will practice, practice, practice! It's kind of addicting.) Other news of interest: There's a beautifully designed new 50+ page Spirit Tour Book that will be available at shows as well as new Tour shirts. All the photos in the book are recent ones taken at the pre-tour rehearsals in LA & the Aspen Concert. We may also make these items available on the website Jewelstore & I'll keep you informed on that. Also many have written asking about the new Joy Eden Harrison album "Unspoken" & the new Cindy Lee Berryhill "Living Room 16" CD. YES, they are out & I'll post specificaly on that. I want to write that up seperately so I can post it to other lists. Look for those posts soon. :-) And finally, here's something you'll find interesting. Sometime in April, Jewel's mom/manager Nedra would enjoy having a PRIVATE CHAT with the EDAs. Since neither of us are terribly functional in chat rooms, we're thinking about something like this the first time around: We'd like 5 EDAs who are on AOL to participate in a live private chat with Nedra. We both think it could be fun. We realize many are not on AOL & are not elligible, but since we're both on AOL, it's the only way to go this time. I'm sure you'll agree that having AOL EDAs participate directly is better than not doing it at all. You can figure out between now & then who will represent the EDAs & who could moderate. Afterwards I'll post the entire chat transcript so all can enjoy the communication. I will suggest that only respectful, knowledgable & curious EDAs should be chosen to make the best of this idea. If this works well, we'll do it again. It's up to The EDAs to work out details with your list manager Mike & then I'll have Nedra join the 5 EDAs sometime in April. :-) I also want you all to know that we're still in the infancy of www.jeweljk.com. We have many plans which include the EDAs & we'll be improving things continuously. Keep checking in with us. We also have digital cameras on the road now & will be adding a lot of tour content so you can ride along with us! Thanks for reading such a long post. My one typing finger is worn out now... I enjoyed seeing a few of you in CA last week. I'm off to the basement to build that plywood cow. Gotta practice my roping! Yeeha! Best wishes!

That would be very fun if I got to try that. *Sniff* But don't worry, I won't be too annoying. I know there are plenty of other AOL EDA's out there, and we will all come up with a reasonable way with picking them.

When the person who wrote the original email wrote about young fans, I in no way took it personally. There are mature teens among us, and I believe we are them. I totally agree with whoever posted that message...at every concert there are annoying teenagers..it's inevitable. So, in any case, I don't think that whoever posted that letter meant it to be so directed towards us.

The polls are closed! That's right. Starting on Superbowl Sunday, I conducted the 3rd Annual Age/Locale Survey for the EDA list. And, after about 4 weeks, it is time to close the voting. So, here are the results! Keep in mind that these results are only from the people that responded. As a total, we had over 700 responses!!! However, there is a small difference between the number of locations and the number of ages, due to some people only sending part of the information. Thanks to all who participated and the usual polls will resume shortly. READ THIS: I do not have the e-mail address, nor the names, nor any other information of anyone who participated. Please do not ask me for them, for, even if I did have them, I would not be allowed to give them out. Thank you. And finally, the results: - ---- age ---- 7*1 8 9*1 10 11*1 12****4 13*******7 14*********************21 15*************************************************49 16************************************************************************75 17************************************************************************** ******84 18************************************************************************** **79 19******************************************************************66 20**************************************************************62 21*******************************************************55 22*************************25 23***************************27 24****************************28 25*************13 26***********11 27*************13 28****************16 29************12 30*******7 31*****5 32********8 33****4 34****4 35******6 36*******7 37***3 38*1 39*****5 40***3 41****4 42***3 43*1 44*1 45*1 46*1 47 48*1 49*1 50 51 52**2 53 54 55 56 57*1 Age Survey Totals: 719 list members replied 3,057 subscribers to Jewel, Jewel-digest & Jewel-news combined 2,400 estimated actual people (many subscribe to more than one list & more than one address) Average age = 20.91 Last years' survey average was 20.65 years of age For the survey in the fall of 1996, the average was a shade over 23 years old. - ---- Locations ---- States in the United States of America: Alabama******6 Alaska Arizona***********11 Arkansas*1 California*****************************************************************68 Colorado****4 Connecticut****4 Delaware Florida*********************************33 Georgia************12 Hawaii*1 Idaho****4 Illinois**************************26 Indiana************12 Iowa******6 Kansas***3 Kentucky*1 Louisiana****4 Maine**2 Maryland*******7 Massachusetts***************************27 Michigan*********************21 Minnesota*****************17 Mississippi Missouri****************16 Montana*1 Nebraska*******7 Nevada*******7 New Hampshire******6 New Jersey******************************30 New Mexico***3 New York*******************************************43 North Carolina*******7 North Dakota*1 Ohio*********************21 Oklahoma***3 Oregon******6 Pennsylvania**********************************************46 Rhode Island****4 South Carolina*******7 South Dakota**2 Tennessee*********9 Texas**********************************34 Utah****4 Vermont**2 Virginia****************16 Washington********8 West Virginia***3 Wisconsin************12 The Rest Of The World: Australia********************20 Belgium**2 Brazil*1 Canada********************************************44 China*1 Denmark*1 England**************14 Finland*1 France**2 Germany*********9 Holland***3 Hong Kong**2 Hungary*1 Ireland****4 Israel****4 Italy***3 Malaysia*1 Mauritius*1 Netherlands*******7 New Zealand***3 Panama*1 Philippines***3 Poland*1 Portugal**2 Scotland**2 Singapore****4 Slovenia**2 Spain*1 Sweden***3 Turkey*1 United States 568 Canada 44 Rest Of The World 100 712 replied Brett The Angel Formally Known As.... http://members.aol.com/Pharquel/karaoke.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 10:28:15 +0800 From: "Jean" Subject: Jewel in Singapore As Mr. BB most kindly said, Jewel is definitely coming to Singapore :) An article regarding it has appeared in the Straits Times, Life section, page 2. Most of the article was a summary of Jewel's career. But here are the important details. All tickets for the concert (31 March) will be sold at all Sistic outlets at $45.00 and $65.00 (which is very cheap in my opinion :) starting this Saturday. The concert will apparently start at 8 pm and it is organized by Lushington/MCM. And according to her record company, Jewel's current album has sold 4 million copies - 8000 of those in Singapore - in just three months! That's about it for now... I'm so thrilled about seeing Jewel and Steve Poltz! If there are any more articles or whatever, I'd be sure to send it here :) Jean ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #87 **************************
