damn those things were good! anyway, this is my post to the list right after i made it back home. it is SO BRIEF in comparison to all the amazing things that really happened. but i thought some people that weren't with us back then would enjoy it. __________Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 20:04:00 -0700 (PDT) From: moon Subject: reflections on san diego hello everyone, for those of you who didn't get to go to the infamous hot dog fest this weekend, make sure you go to the next eda assemblage--even if you have to take a bus. see, i took a greyhound out from albuquerque new mexico because i wanted to see jewel and meet these crazy eda people! so i did. it took twenty one hours to get there. the bus ride really wasn't that bad, but i did hold the woman's baby who was sitting next to me all the way from phoenix to LA. i felt sorry for the woman, she had been on the bus for about four days. anyway, i finally got to san diego, but my bus was late so igor was cursing me when i got off! poor igor, he thought i had decided not to come. well, igor took me to lunch and then we went to ucsd to try to get into the sound check and to meet the other edas. i didn't realize all of these people were such a close nit family. but they welcomed me in immediately. and i got into the sound check thanks to erik altman. these people were great. the soundcheck was the first time i had ever seen jewel. and i was sitting on the front row next to john-eric and i was completely awstruck. do you guys realize how amazing it was to sit there and look up at jewel! i was in bliss. and everyone took such good care of me. and the best parts hadn't even happened yet. the show was amazing. i had fourth row seats thanks to igor! and i won't review the whole show again cuz i know john-eric did, but i have to say i was like a little girl the whole time. i felt completely surrounded in love! i never wanted the show to end. but when it did, the festivities didn't end--but i had to sleep cuz i had only had about half an hour of sleep on the bus. so we went to tom and nancy's temporary villa. and it is a perfect place for angels, high on a cliff and trimmed in turquoise. and i met so many wonderful people. tegan showed me all of the pictures she had taken of jewel (while we were sitting in tom proven's dreamt about taco-hut!--it was worth the drive). and tom played guitar for me and made me sing! and john-eric and i had chime bells in our heads the whole weekend. jared tried to convince me that normal people do not take buses--they fly! larry gave me his card (that was really cool, but i can't find it--i hope he isn't mad). and then there were the tatoos. tom morales has a hot-dog fest tatoo! and then tegan and shelly went too. and the snakes that ate the alive mice. and i think we watched the vh-1 show about 4 time (my fault cuz i don't have a tv and i love jewel's teeth.) and liz singing all the rugburns songs. and harrisitis. then the fest on sunday, with the rugburns actually there sitting with us and ---ok i can't delay any longer. nancy who is the sweetest person i have ever met, decided i wasn't going to leave midfest. that i was going to take a plane! so they took up a luna-fund! between marc and nancy, i flew back to the desert this morning. i am going to include what i wrote in my joural on sunday night as stinky and the girls ouija-ed and shrieked out in the living room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ angels, in their weekend bliss, which in my desert life like sand in the mouth, are like thirst-quencher and air--humid to my skin like san diego. they are like stained glass windows, all different colored substances, yet hugged together like an alloy, like steel. and they stole me from my silence. these angels in a house on a cliff, they let me be high like my lunary throne. they held me when i tried to go. i was about to skate across the deserts by land , but angels will not hear of travelling by land. angels, with their stained glass butterfly wings, they have made me fly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ so thank you everyone! i am permanately stamped. luna ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:38:14 EST From: JewelAng@aol.com Subject: NEW VOTING BOOTH Hey all EDA's, I just made a new voting booth and I hope you guys will all go visit it.

All i see is NJC and people talking about blah blah blah. But i do think the list needs to be moderated! I've had several discussions with Mike about why the list is moderated and it seems the blame should be layed upon the EDA's and not the moderator! We love to talk to caring people and that is excatly what the EDA's are, caring! Possibly, we need to restrict it to Jewel content and Jewel related content and leave the other stuff on the thoughts list! I remember when i first came here, it was so beautiful! Scott S.
