Why do I have this you ask? Well because my father works for RCA and seeing as how he is a part of the managment team at RCA headquaters and the whole concert was made possible by RCA he got me an original disc. I just got it and I am writing this message to you guys before I have even seen it, but I am getting ready to watch it right now. Lots of you may email me asking me if I can make you a copy of the disc. Well seeing as how I have a cd burner....I could, BUT I am pretty sure that would be quite illegal. So anyway I will look into it and see if I can make copies of the disc for you guys.

I had quite an interesting day today, it started when I went into Radio Shack to see if the ::really really really nice:: guy who works there had dubbed me a (free) tape of Jewel's concert, and sure enough, he asked if I came to pick it up. Then he asked if I wanted the rest of the posters since noone was really asking for them, and he was gonna have to throw em away, so I said sure, so he gave me the tape and a box of 42 posters :) :) So I went over to work cuz I fortunately had to work on this very warm night :) joy! And an hour or so later, this woman comes over to my register at a time when I actually had a line of paying customers, which hadnt happened yet up to that point on this night, and she said that the guy at radio shack (remember, the really really nice one?) said that I was the president of a local Jewel fan club. WOW! I'm the EDA captain, don't I feel special!! hehe. :P so I said that I was a member of the coolest group in the world, where the members are sooo awesome and everyone of them are so special and everything, ok enough sucking up. Anyways, I said that I was a member of the online group, and she asked for info on joining, so I didnt really have any info I could remember at that time, since there were 4 angry customers who didnt wanna wait behind her, so we exchanged emails and she's gonna contact me when she gets her provider back online. PHEW, long sentence. So the moral of this story is that noone at work really liked her or even knew of her!!! Yes, shocking, remember when someone said how people would constantly ask if Jewel was a GROUP? Well it happened again, sigh, when will they learn... Then after work, I went to Burger King, where my friend was working, and she took about 10 posters to give to her friends working there, so I handed the posters through the drive-through window, while they ooohed at them. (Yeah! Jewel Fans!!) So that was pretty much the end of my interesting day, leaving out some minor events NJR, since this IS a jewel list after all. Well I'm just talking a bit too much, so I'll be quiet now and look at my ceiling now. Thank you. You're very supportive :) Sheila, the angel who bows to John Malkovich (and respects that people actually read her post and her little signature phrase that changes every post) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 01:17:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Lori A Bonari <7lab2@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: * Random Question at 1 am Hello all, I have a random jewel question, *and* i figured if anyone would know, you wise angels would. Okay, I was watching this "20 Dates" movie; it's supposed to be a candid look at *real* dating in LA, and it's a real cast (ie. no actors). At the movie's end, it says "Dedicated to my father and Jewel". My first reaction was to be jealous that random filmmaker guy knows jewel (I mean, it's not like it's that common of a name), but then I thought about it and wondered if that really was her in question. I know it's a silly unimportant issue, but I'm anal and it was bugging me =) Does anyone know/has anyone seen the movie? Unless "jewel" is the name of the filmmaker's father's new wife or something ( I watch too much Jerry springer), it could be her. If this has ever been brought up on the list before, I apologize, and people are free to email me personally so as not to clutter the list email with stuff that's already been discussed. It could just be a random "jewel" but it just struck me as odd. I know this makes no difference whatsoever to my life happiness, but it's just one of those things that makes me curious and bugs me until I have an answer. Thanxxx, and happy saturday P.s. whos webpage is http://homepages.go.com/~mysteriousraven/door.html? I found it on the end of an email recently, but I deleted my mail and forgot who it belonged to, and I can't find the name on the site (sorry).

It's about giving. >Being an EDA is something that we all do differently. >We each have our own little special way to be kind, to >help. That, to me, is what being an EDA is about. ****** Within these two passages is contained the very essence of what it means to be an EDA in my view. While Jewel drew us all together, I believe that quite frankly a great deal of us would have still had a desire to be expressive, compassionate, giving, and spiritually aware people even if we had never known Jewel. While Jewel drew together this group of resonant souls through her music, it is OUR common sense of how we wish to interact with the world that makes us bonded as a community. I think it is this that confuses folks that come to the list just as a product of Jewel's celebrity. There is a very wise saying that has been circulated on this list that really says it all and maybe Mike Connell can help me remember who originated it. But put simply the saying goes "We started out fans of Jewel and became fans of each other". That's all. No big quasi-religious worship of celebrity, no qualifications or badges to get in the "secret club", no requisite amount of angelfood/posters/shows seen/etc, just the simple idea that this is a place where most others place value on striving towards being a more aware and evolved human being .... an "EveryDay Angel" as it happens. Do I think everyone here is an actually "Angel"? Not nearly (myself included) but I am willing to give anyone here who at least gives it a shot the benefit of the doubt. I feel the list at times is trying to be two things at once. On one hand it strives to be the sort of community described above. Hence the success of the tape trades of old, the formation of the EveryDay Angels Foundation and subsequent (even previous)charitable works,the remystification of the llama, the annual Bearsville reunions, the Living Room Tours/Concerts, the EDA-Thoughts list for writers and thinkers (excluding the current Korn thread), and various other amazing experiences/stories that have come out of the list's shared compassion for each other and the world. On the other hand, the list tries to manage being the premiere Internet discussion list of a very large celebrity with the consequential size and range of fans to be expected. The list as it functions seems to very much just want to roll along with its inertia toward being just as a mailing list for Jewel would be if it had been created AFTER her rise to mega-celebrity. Large, heavy volume, fairly anonymous, and with a revolving door of participants coming and going as Jewels fame rises and falls. The funny thing is that I bet practically none of us signed on looking for anything more than this, but stayed for the realization of the special differences this "list" exhibits. We slowly but surely get drawn into involvement with one unique aspect or another of this community of "Angels". It is my belief that this is the dividing line betwixt the "identities" of the list. Involvement. Once you attend a Gathering(LRC,charitable work day, amusementpark outing), are part of a great tape trade, actually meet that EDA you enjoy emailing and chatting with who was previously a screen name, or just plain become inspired by what is happening all around the list (but often isn't reported on or posted) you glimpse what it means to see yourself as an EveryDay Angel. It is different for everyone because the mode/method/duration/availability of involvement varies for many reasons, but it usually involves a conscious choice to try this "something" that is a little beyond the norm (except of course those of us who were tricked into the whole deal by Dennis Harris...HI DENNIS!!!) Sometimes this choice leads onward, sometimes we migrate back into anonymous fandom, and sometimes we hover in the middle either not reaching it or just having let go. This higher level of involvement (in my mind) is the more that makes us a community. Our willingness and sometimes downright desire to be involved in each others lives, friendships, experiences, and world. And perhaps to share with each other in a way that leaves us a little better off from the whole process. So what does this mean in relation to the discussion of what is an EDA and how do we see what that is? I think as an EDA that values this connection to other EDAs I must enjoy and maintain my involvement with this community for it to flourish. For someone looking and hesitating to take that first step, I say to you that you will never know what fits until you try it on. Go to the Gathering or call one of your own (even if only 3 people come...EDAs of any number is a succesful Gathering) and SEE what being an EveryDay Angel means to others. And for those of us here to just be a part of a Jewel discussion list or fan-club .....I hope you don't mind an occasional thread like this one meandering through. Oh and see you at the next show ..... :) Thanks for listening.

All the discussion on the list lately has made me want to meet some of you. I've never been to a gathering. I went to Sessions, but met no EDAS other than Bob (who gave me my ticket). I'm kind quiet and shy until I get to know you. Then I never shut up. So anyway, I'd like to have a gathering for those of us in the Rochester area. I lost all of the e-mails from Rochester area EDAs (That's why I never wrote back) AOL SUCKS!!!!! So if any of you are interested, even if you're not from the area, let me know. I have no clue what we should do. I'm not too familiar with Rochester. I do know some great places near Geneseo. Letchworth Park is pretty awesome. And there's this great waterfall, we call it Fallbrook. It's in this wooded area off the side of the road. You can't see it, just have to know it's there. See, told ya I never shut up. So write to me if you're interested, and give me some times that are good for you. And if you have suggestions, let me know. - -Kerri my homepage: We Are EveryDay Angels check out my angelfood page, there's a link from my main page "But don't wander too far, My one constant star, Darkness exists, except where you are, My feet are filled with wandering, They follow your own, 'Cause everywhere you are feels like home." -Jewel, Last Dance Rodeo ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 16:57:15 -0400 From: "Amanda" Subject: * D.C.
