I found a place that can cover us (that is about 10 rooms) for the price/room going for $89. Now i know that this seems a little steep, but it's the best we are ever going to get around the casino, in a 30~45 minute radius. I called 20 places, from the reallly really scummy to the super elite... and this was average. So I have put myself, and a two other groups down already. The place is called Breakers (603-926-7702). It is situated right on the ocean, and is a 6 minute walk from the venue. Again I know that it is a little pricey but It's the best i could do. THey are only holding 10 rooms till tomorrow morning for us, so call to reserve a room. I would suggest finding roommates to help defray the cost.... but i'm sure you can find 3~4 people who would join in a room from the list. If you have some problem with the price.... all i can say is find a roommate or 4. Selena... tell me if this is okay with you. If it isn't I know of one other place, nearby that might be cheaper for around 75. But it won't be with the group. I thought I would add this to you since... I'm taking care of this for you. They only have 2 rooms though. email me back and I'll give you the number if you want. ------------------------------ From: kjohnso7@ix.netcom.com (Katherine E.

Well, today is the deadline for sending me what Jewel songs you want to do for the EDA List Member Tape, but I WILL take latecomers, provided that they come along speedily. I've sent follow-ups to everyone who's contacted me with their selections, comfirming the song(s) they'll be doing, and informing them of where to send their tape. If someone sent me their selections, but still hasn't heard from me, please email me again. That's about it. Hopefully, I will have something for the EDAs in New Hampshire to listen to next week.

Yes, I turned 21 yesterday. I for one am deeply hurt by the MJB. I guess that is the wrong term. I am thouroughly pissed off that he has us going into hiding. You people are too good for this. Some say be Angelic to this guy. Yeah sure, maybe like the angel of death on Passover. I feel violent feelings toward this person. How dare they come and ruin this little world. I am a little guy who has never been in a fight but I believe that motivation speeks louder than experience in this situation and I would like to religiously f@#% this person up. BTW, I don't actually swear in real life unless I am very angry. Maybe I should go wash my hands out with soap. I have this friend at work who I tried to make a Jewel fan. I gave him some tapes but he always seems to have the dumbest comments. I curse the day I ever mentioned Jewel to him. He just does not know when to shut up. He says things like how can they be homeless if they have homes "WWSYS...Homeless have their homes...." He said something about her being gay after hearing Emily. He did not get that it was her writing from someone elses perspective. He says he does not like the metaphores, in fact he did not know what one was until I explained it. He listened to God's Gift and told me that it was confusing. He did not get the sarcasm. He thought she was singing about how much she wanted IT, which in itself was just a bad thing to say to me. He went on to tell me how she should have written the song. He found offense in I've Got the Blues More then You Do Blues. I guess not all people are able to be Jewel fans. We should consider ourselves lucky to have the brain capacity to enjoy her music. Please friends, do not be afraid of the bomber. I think it might be what s/he is looking for. Well s/he isn't going to get it from me. If s/he just wanted to make us angry well he did get that from me. Rich Melko rwm126@psu.edu ################################# Jerry - You're Crazy.

And I'm asking for help 'cause I've done yet another ditzy thing. Oh, sure, I BOUGHT my tickets for the show, they're gonna be at the Box Office, so that's a good thing. Okay, here's the bad thing. I didn't ask for the time off from work. You may remember me as the girl who almost got fired for asking for JewelStock off, so you can probably see why I put it off 'till it was too late... Anyway, I'm working 'till 4 that day, then a 2 1/2 hr. drive, i'll hopefully be maikng it there with my friend Lara ( SweetieDog, who also happens to be on the list) around 7. Are you seeing my problem yet ? We're gonna get incredibly shitty, pardon mon francais, seats. As I remember, doors are opening at 7, so we're gonna be VERY close to the end of the line. Okay, guys, this is where YOU ALL come in... I'm not too caught up on concert ettiquette (because, no, Reba McEntire and New Kids On The Block DON'T count). Is it heavily frowned upon to slide into line with all of your friends ? Is it allowed to save seats for someone inside the hall ? I really want to be with everybody else, but I just don't see how I'll be able to do it.

I missed the photo's original appearance in the TV Guide Conan the Comedian article, so 'twas not 'till now that I've seen my favorite picture of Jewel. I'm really coming up aces this month! I've come across my favorite Kilcher Song and Kilcher Photo in the same fortnight! What's next? If I find out Jewel's favorite color is green, except for clothing where she prefers blue, I'd be ecstatic. By the way, green-lovers such as myself are supposedly clumsy lovers if you believe those color personality tests. No arguments here. If her appearance on Regis and Kathie Lee was her best performance ever, my streak of fortune has concluded; I blasphemed and failed to tune in. Two reasons: (1) It aired at nine in the morning and I don't like waking up earlier than ten if possible and (2) I hate the Philbin/Gifford show. I'm not just bandwagoning the "Bash Kathie Lee" craze; I actually watched an episode a few months back and resolved never to watch it again. No specifics, just wasn't my cup 'o tea (cup 'o castor oil's more like it). So, although I missed Miss Kilcher, I stayed true to my convictions. Proud or stupid, I'll be either. Not that I'm criticizing Jewel (more on that later) for doing the show. Plenty of people do like Regis and Kathie Lee, and to appear on their program is just good business. If Jewel has a personal affinity for one or both of the hosts, I'd be willing to hear her defense, but until then I don't relish their celebrity and success. I foresaw rebuttals to my Jenny McCarthy crit, but I'd be mildly surprised to find a "Stop Bashing Those Two!" e-mail in my mailbox tomorrow. I don't see much wrong in critiquing Jewel, actually. I personally try not to do it, since I think Miss Kilcher is doing something phenomenally right if she's earned die-hard fans like us and sold hundreds of thousands of records. I certainly am not blameless, though the worst criticism I can recall making is suggesting that Jewel fix her hair before Letterman so it didn't attack her face like it did her first appearance on Leno. Still, criticism is an important part in the development of any artist or individual; the trick is to do it exceedingly gently, as artists are often the most sensitive to critiques. And remember, Jewel is probably her own harshest critic, and anything you have to say or suggest has likely crossed her mind many times before.

The album's platinum--the awards better be forthcoming for album of the year,etc. Do you think that the lyrics to POY will make the judges leary of voting for the album? In Atlanta for the olympics, heard a guitarist named Michael Tolcher--very good. I'm waiting for a demo tape- when I get it, if there's someone interested in putting a sound bite on their website, that would be cool! That's something to think about- we talk alot about other artists, but if you're not in a certain geo region, you won't hear them. Maybe someone would give a small piece of their website for sound clips and addresses where we can get demos. Just a thought from the looney bin!

Think about this though before you denouce her appearence on the show or the show it self. Many, but not nearly all as evidenced by the people on this list, fan's of Jewel's music are younger--Less than 25 I would guess. Ok, how many people that age do you know religiously watch R&KL? I'm going to say not all that many. So what an appearence on R&KL does, is it gives a more holistic exposure to her work. The show is a vehicle to carry the music and vision to people who wouldn't normally even be exposed to it--old people. If you are familiar with Meals on Wheels, think of it like that--it's Meals on Wheels, only for music. Not to offend those in the same age group as R&KL, but the two appeal to older people. That's gotta be why the show survives, nothing else can fill the niche. That's my theory anyway...what do you think?

I believe this for several reasons. First, what she said was deep, and does require some time spend philosophising to fully understand, and in a 3 minute interview that just isn't possible. No one, no matter how intelligent or enlighened you are, could digest Jewel's comments right on the spot and completely understand them. The second reason I think Jewel contributed to a poor interview is that she was not considerate of her host or audience. Like it or not, this is a business (is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?) and part of the business is relating to your clients and co-workers. Regis and KL are not known for their thoughfullness and depth (neither is their audience, at 9:00 am Pacific time!), therefore it is Jewel's responsibility to honor her hosts (remember, this is not *her* show) by not necessarily making them look good, but certainly not making them look like studdering donkeys (which in my opinion, was well accomplished :P) Anyone disagree, go ahead and post why...or we can take it into the street man to man, just tell me when and where ;) Your Fallen Angel, S!nj!n - -- _______ / 0 \ "My what nice eyes you have... / /\/\/\/ And what lovely skin... | | ARNIVORE Once you trust your heart to me \ \/\/\/\ YOU WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!" \_______/ **************** Jewel, "Carnivore" *Sinjin@ecn.com* ******JS96****** ------------------------------ From: jewelfan@juno.com (Lizabeth A Clark) Date: Sat, 10 Aug 1996 04:15:58 EDT Subject: The radio Ok Angels... At 3 A.M. this morning I decided to call a local radio station because I was bored. (94.5 K rock--Toledo) Well anyway I just started to talk to the DJ and I was like "Are you Jewel friendly?". He said he was So I decided to talk about JS. I told him that Jewel put on a concert for us in Bearsville, NY. He seemed impressed. He asked what kind of person she was and I said that she was one of the nicest people that I have ever met...which is the truth. I asked him if he could play any other Jewel besides WWSYS...he didn't have anything else!!!!! I told him that she would be releasing a new song soon and he thought that was pretty cool. About 20 minutes after I hung up with him he came on the radio and said..."To all of you Jewel nuts out there...my inside sources tell me that she will be releasing some new stuff soon...but until then we will have to live with this single..." and he played WWSYS!!! I was like cool!!! I am the inside source!!! I also called another radio station and I asked the DJ if he was Jewel friendly. He said "I want to get friendly with Jewel" I was like gimme a break!! He then said that she was hot. I didn't even waste my time with him. I don't care if he thinks Jewel is hot...I was calling the radio station about music(what a concept) and I didn't want to know what he thought about Jewel in that personal sort of way. Ok...I am tired and I have a long day tomorrow so I am gonna sleep!!! BTW...Sarah(my b/f who is on the list) and I wore our Jewel shirts to my boyfriend's concert tonight...to piss him off :)...and we were promptly made fun of, but my boyfriend did start to play WWSYS for Sarah and I. Later on he played some of Don't for us and he started to sing too....I wish he wouldn't have sung along with it!! =) Oh well. I guess he isn't that bad of a person. :) he basically accepts my obsession of Jewel's music for the most part. I think he has also gotten used to the fact that I think she is a really nice and cool person who I idolize because of her accomplishments and belief in doing things that make you happy. He STILL doesn't like her all that much but I am trying my darndest to change his mind!!! :) Talk to ya'll later...my sister is urked at me for being on my computer instead of being out in the family room listening to music with her.
