BRING FOOD TO THE JEWEL SHOWS! then we found our seats. i have to say, even though they weren't on the floor, i enjoyed the view. i was on the 5th row the night before, so it was nice to see the musicians from above. amber and derrick were on the oppite side of the arena from us, so we sat an looked at each other through our binoculars! waving, peace signs! that was fun! steve's set was short and he cut off the last part of of abc's of love! but hey, i could see the bourbon street signs flickering in his eyes. jewel looked glamorous: shiny crimson leather pants, tight black tank top, kiss me makeup, and big ass clonker shoes. she adjusts her posture according to what persona she is employing. three nights of completely a different jewel. the show was sharp, focused, and slightly eerie. only in new orleans would there be carney-looking men selling cotton candy during the show. and not only selling it, but yelling "COTTON CANDYYYYYY" during the songs! her voice was the clearest and surest i have seen yet. needless to say, just because i was sitting up in the bleechers doesn't mean i wasn't going to dance and act like a maniac. all of the people sitting around us were so blaise! of course i had on my wings, and so whenever they would flash the light we would stand up and jump around and amber jumped up on the other side and we'd wave and scream. now, the best part of the show was fast approaching. she gets to the flexible slot in her set where she has been playing songs like grey matter, sibtw, fly to me angel, etc. and she brings little brother atz out with his "bluesharp." that's when the impossible happened. she said "this is a new song (yadda yadda yadda), it's called CLEVELAND." my heart stopped because i my first thought is, ohhh, noo, she has written a new song named cleveland and she will never sing "you're in cleveland today" again. and then my heart was jump-started by amy BANGING ON ME LIKE A MADWOMAN! and sure enough, it started. and it was so beautiful and amy and i were acting like rapid fairies and all the little sullen new orleans people around us looked at us like we really were trolls or something! [how do they know the words, jewel just said this was a new song] and for the rest of the show i was beaming! in the encore, she played a true new song. it was beautiful with that rawness and ripeness that only just written songs can have. it was very old school jewel, too, sort of like the face of love or something from that period. during the yodelling we ran down to the railing and a security guard laughed at my wings. and then the show was over. and i realized that i wasn't going to see a jewel show the next night :-( i was getting used to being a groupie! so after trying to find lee after the show (and not succeeding) but meeting a couple of EDA's we got back in our plummy van. and see, dennis has this little problem.......he is addicted to popping hoods. yes, it is true, four or five times in a row. he would get in the van, tell us we were leaving, then pop the hood. get out, push it back down, get back in, tell us we were leaving, THEN POP THE HOOD. over and over. it was hysterical! after freshening up, we headed down to bourbon. and well, within three minutes of parking the van, i see this wavering gilligan's hat coming up toward me. IT WAS STEVE AND HE HAD ON AMIAS' HAT! doug was with him too, and so steve gave us hugs and he thought i looked familiar and so i reminded him of hot dog fest a couple of years ago where he donated to my airplane fund. he remembered and asked me if i got home ok.........uhhh he had already been drinking obviously! amias, i told him all about you and how you wanted to make sure steve's head was specially protected and he said, MAN THAT GUY IS SO COOL, I LOVE THESE HATS AND NOW I WILL WEAR IT DURING WWSYS WHENEVER I REMEMBER! so he invited all of us to a private party at the freakin' house of blues! so we went in and hung out with the bank in the house of blues. there was this uhhh "groovy" room upstairs with purdy colors and soft couches. we were just getting comfortable when the bar hopping began. so dennis and steve walk down the street with their arms around one another, past the cops who are busting up a fight, talking about jewel of course (of all things to talk about with steve:-).......and well, ok, i was jealous that dennis was hogging steve! so suddenly steve asks me again if i got home ok from hot dog fest and planted a big kiss on my ear. so i wasn't so jealous anymore. then we went to the dungeon where i couldn't get in because i won't be 21 for a month and a half. but that is where i got tied up by this uhhh, sexy lady (?????) in the torture chamber. i really can't wait to see the pictures. i have this fear that they are tacked to a tree at bearsville as i type. and then we went to the lucky bar, where i got kicked out again and watched everyone have fun from outside. amber and steve were playing video poker and steve kept running into things. it was hilarious. but i felt like the little lost stray outside. this huge homeboy came up to me and asked me if my mommy let me stay out this late! wahhhhhh :-( he ended up being really nice, though and he told me not to walk more that 4 blocks in that direction, even he didn't go there. i asked him how growing up in new orleans was and he showed me his missing tooth and said, well, i grew up in the good part of the city. he kept me company until dennis and derrick came out and we went to deja vu to get po boys and fried cheese. i couldn't even go in there! urrrrg. so we were finally getting tired and the gang was getting loonier as the minutes ticked, so steve came out to bid us farewell. that's when it happened. steve kissed me! yes, genuine drunken kiss on the lips! and then he went on to kiss dennis too, but he wouldn't do it twice. he looked like he genuinely wanted to have breakfast with us, but i would see the hangover demon already springing from his head. he asked me once more if i made it home ok from california and kissed my cheek and amy got a picture of it! so now i can die because steve kissed me and amias can die because steve has two of his hats! :-) seriously, steve is so genuine, and more than worth your time to talk to, even if for a minute or two. he made it very clear that it isn't that jewel is mean or unthankful, she is just tired all the time from working so hard and it makes her nervous to meet fans after the show. he also said that jewel is the most loyal person he knows, and that she would do anything for your friends. at one point dennis suggested maybe she has high standards for her friends. then steve said, no, she doesn't have high standards-- that she is loyal to those who are loyal to her. so, i don't think jewel will be dumping steve to save her reputation from the tremulous bottle. new orleans is beautiful because it is old and dirty. the next day 5 edas walked around the quarter a bit and dined on a delicious chicken salad and took a few last pictures. i bought a long black feather boa, and dennis and amy bought---ooops, maybe i shouldn't say, but it is especially used for SEAN HOOKS! it is sad to split up EDA gatherings and i had seen at least one EDA a day for about a week and a half. but of course, we bit our farewells in the pouring rain. we are always crazy like that :-) bye amy, bye dennis, have fun in the big easy. and then amber, derrick and i hit the road. well not quite. dennis had a plan to make me go to bearsville even though he knows i am already in the hole! he stole my bag. super important stuff in my bag that i wouldn't be human without. and he brought it up to their hotel room! i just happened to notice it wasn't in the van before we left town. so we had to convince the hotel keeper we were everyday angels so he would let us into the room to get my bag. he did let us in and i had to leave dennis a nasty note. that whippersnapper! the drive back was fun, although i thought we were going across the louisiana boundary when we were just an hour outside of new orleans. but that is ok. i was a little bit messed up from all the excitement. derrick and amber are completely kick ass and i wish texas wasn't so damn big so we could hang out more often. at ambe'rs we listened to the tapes and screamed during love me just leave me alone (terrific version), where she said midgets on accident and of course cleveland. i hope we didn't freak her mommy out too bad. then derrick had to leave and we were dwindled down to 2. amber read her beautiful poetry and some journal writings to me and finally we went to sleep. and the next morning the pink tint was gone and i went home and faced my terrible debt. too bad i didn't win the lotto or i would just follow jewel around all summer and meet all of you! and that was the big ass tx-louisiana road trip. love as alway the beer fairy, LUNA ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 04:40:37 +0000 From: ro196179@att.net Subject: * 8/3 Pittsburgh ticket for sale, 3rd Row PIT!!!!

Where are you?? Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. ARGH! Okay, by now, after requesting Jupiter on the incompetent radio station out here on Long Island about 20 times, I have hereby given up on WBLI to play it. Soooo... I was wondering if anyone knew when Jupiter is coming out on single. The Wall employees..ahem, if you could call them employees. I swear, I asked them, rather politely I might add, if they had the new Jewel single. Two guys looked at me for a minute and then were like...ummm... and then asked some other guy. He said to try back on Tuesday because that's when they get shipments in. Right... Oh, and then I asked some other music store if they had it and they've never heard of it. But anyway.... If anyone can tell me if they know when it's coming out plllleeeeeeaaaaassssseee drop me a line. I'll be waiting, impatiently, as WBLI tries to find the song, and then "try to play it later" Yeah....and Jewel smokes too. ( I hope everyone takes note of the bitter sarcasm in this post. Radio stations get me angry when all they play is Ricky Martin and don't play songs they say they'll play) Take care everyone!

When I saw him here at Halifax's Economy Shoe Shop, he started the night pretty much in control of himself, and finished the night rolling on the floor singing Irish pub songs... and somewhere in the middle, he borrowed a cel phone to call his dad in California, so he and two audience members could sing his Nova Scotia song in three part harmony, and everyone could say hi. I really hate booze. I don't drink and I don't lke to see others drink, but Steve made everyone in that joint happy that night... his songs were hilarious and touching and engaging and hilarious. He's a good guy. I talked to him for a few seconds (bashfully asked him to sign a left shoe I'd brought specially, amusing him), and was injected with a sense of a totally genuine article. Okay, he's a pirate. But so's Jewel... pay closer attention, kids. Jewel is not singing from a hymnal, no matter how it may seem at times. Steve has been a MAJOR guiding influence on Jewel from the time she moved to San Francisco... she obviously worships the guy, she's not going to give him the boot. Nor should she, he's brilliant. .end.transmission. | Jesse Dangerously | .10.04.good.buddy. | without justice | ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 05:56:18 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: * Info about that Jewel promo CD Here's the full text about this Jewel promo CD that Jennifer mentioned.
