I'm looking for the one that Jewel is on the cover of. I live in Houston and have checked at The Book Stop and they've never heard of it. I was wondering if it's a regional mag and/or if so if anyone knows how to contact the publisher so I could order direct if I have to. Thanks for any help.

hi guys! got my pictures developed today! i took 2 rolls of 24, 1 of 36, and 1 of 36 in b&w. i started another 1 of 36 color, but i didn't finish it. i plan to finish it when i go back up to ny to take a look of the remnants of my car. one the 24 exp rolls was taken by jack, cause he couldn't wait to see a picture of him with jewel. but i'll be getting the prints and negatives shortly. i took two pictures of people with jewel, because one's camera didn't work and the other didn't have one. they both gave me money for copies of the prints, but i don't remember who they were. write me so i can get back to you!

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I have tests and papers and stuff and I can't think about them. I want to keep living out the experience in my head. I don't want to deal with terrorism and presidential elections and job hunting. Last week was just simply the greatest experience in my life, without exaggeration. I have never felt so close to a group of people before. And I've pretty much given up on ever seeing anyone else in concert, nobody could ever compare. What cruel twist of fate placed us all in such varying locations on the map? Could it be the same fate that brought us together? I honestly sincerely miss everyone as if I've known you for twenty-two years and last weekend was our last good-bye, not our first hello. I search for friends at home and I can't find anyone that I really relate to. In one glorious moment I am connected with soul mates. Most people are lucky if they find one such connection in their life and here I am blessed with dozens. And there's a less metaphysical problem. I'm done with school next week. With it goes my account. I have NO other access to a computer, but luckily, I live in a city on the edge of technology. The Internet Cafe in the Village offers public e-mail accounts and Web access. Of course, I have to travel about an hour to get there, but hell, it's definately worth it. I personally think that we should meet at least once a year. If we can't fit a Jewel concert into the schedule we should all meet in the _spirit_ of Jewel...and friendship. Well, enough for being corny and sentimental. I can't help it I'm Sensitive, Dammit! We now return you to our regularly schedule program of kissing bears and flying objets and Harrises...

I forget if it was the U2 list or more likely Tori Amos... "See, for the past week, Jewel was one of the featured artists (the other was Hootie) on the P.A. at the movie theater, and at first, I was like "Great, awesome, I get to hear Jewel at work." Oh, how I rue that sentiment. Because after working 8+ hour shifts 6 days in a row, and hearing the same 4 Jewel songs over&over&over&over again, it has finally wormed its way into my subconscious. I can't listen to her anymore, by mere association with the job. Now, like Alex, whenever I hear Jewel on the radio, or whenever I listen to her CD, all I can think about is working at that goddamn movie theater. I have been scarred for life. It's tragic, it really is." At least they played 4 jewel songs. That's something. ------------------------------ From: "TOM O'BRIEN" <51299S96@student.csi.cuny.edu> Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 20:45:27 Subject: Best Action Sequence Hey Sinjin, Let's be honest here, it was a little more than Warp 9.

Amy =) >But this list started out as an open door to anyone who wanted to come and learn more about Jewel and talk to others with the same interest. It's developed into a group of friends, where we enjoy some major perks like private concerts, great tapes, etc., and I can understand becoming nervous about having people join who would do something to spoil it. But Jewel isn't our secret to keep from others. This should still be a place where new fans can come and join in. I don't think too many people who aren't true fans will put up with the 100+ messages-a-day traffic for long before they unsubscribe, while the real fans will stay with us and make this a better place. So I doubt a mention about it in an article or press release is going to do a lot of harm. In fact, this list attracts and keeps the coolest people, and I wouldn't mind finding a few more EDAs at the next Jewel show I go to.< ------------------------------ From: W1GGY2@aol.com Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 21:05:25 -0400 Subject: Re: Jewel- Mentioned me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She deserves to become a huge star and face it, her days of cafe clubs are over. Hell, she deserves to have whatever she wants, as hard as she has worked.

Does anyone know if WBCN/Boston aired a more complete version of the show? If you have something like that on tape let me know.

I felt like a spectical to the nonlisters. I actually felt very privilaged and upon high being that my status as a Jewel fan was far more prestigious then theirs. I kept thinking, "yea, I know that song, I bet you don't." Wow, I am a real fan of something. That in it self scares me a little. I am scared of losing my desire to hear everything Jewel. What will I do with my freetime? It has been about 3 months now and I have steadily gotten crazier and more enveloped in my following of Jewel and her works. This is really exciting.

I went for about a 7 mile bike ride. I rode out to the record store to see if they took down the Jewel promo posters, a trip I plan to make at least every other day. When they do take them down I will grab as many as I can for the next time I meet listers. I continued my ride up through campus and to the trail that weaves it's way around the golf course. I took a brake and looked back on the weekend. Life is so great. I am even enjoying work. The kid I work with continued with his ideas of me and Jewel. He calls her my wife. It is pretty funny. We just joke around, making up stories about having a dinner get together with Me, Jewel, him, Alanis M., and this guy Ed we work with that we don't like. We stuck him with KD Lang since she is the largest singer (body mass) we could think of and she kind of looks like him. Everday is another adventure. It just depends on how you look at it. I see so many people who seem to drown themselves in sorrow by repeatedly uttering comments like, "this sucks." Treading water isn't even enough. We must swim. So much for trying to make an analogy. I am just trying to say that this concert was an example that even everyday people (or Angels depending on your preference) can live great lives. Perspective is the key. I said to my friend the other day, "Did you ever try to write poetry?" He said, "I am not even going to answer that." Is their something wrong with poetry? That night I tried to write a poem. I never tried before. Most of it I really didn't like but some lines I thought were pretty good. I thought I would share it with you guys because I should share it with someone. After meeting some of you I feel more comfortable sharing with you then my friends. I don't think that any of you would say, "You are weird. That shit really sucks. You should be more materialistic (I was actually given that very bad advice once)." but if that is your reaction please let me know. I was kind of thinking about time and how it progresses. I was thinking of how the whole concert thing was drawing close and soon it would be over and that would be it. I kind of felt that it had to ryme. Here goes. Graves are dug by our two hands Pine boxes filled with the spilling sand From the hourglass of destiny, our fate not yet sealed Let hope be our guide, our hearts be our sheild Why do I cry for the passing of time because it's one more day forever behind. I was going to call it Why Do I Cry For the Passing of Time. There is more to it but I don't like it much. I did kind of like those lines tough. It is a little morbid, I know, maybe I will try a lighter topic when I get some time, maybe something more personal. The problem I find is that when I become inspired, I am somewhere or doing something that does not allow me to write stuff down. Sort of like in a K-Mart bathroom. Or standing atop Beverley Hills looking at the ridiculous opulence and selfish expense of potential kindness scattered on the hillsides. Let me know what you think. Sorry for the length. I really love writing to this list. Still so much I would like to say but I will save your inboxes. Rich Melko rwm126@psu.edu ################################# Jerry - You're Crazy. Kramer - Am I?
