I'm a new member to this whole thing (I really haven't grasped what this all is yet). I'm looking forward to getting familiar with all you guys, though. I haven't been like a real zealous fan of Jewel, I just really think she is great, and beautiful. Actually, I had added the goal of marrying her to my other aspiration in life: buying the Yankees. However, reading all your posts and seeing that my goal is definitely not unique and that I am by far as fervent in attaining that goal as some of you seem to be :), I've become somewhat delusioned. Only thing I can do now is to be either rich or famous in order to marry her, so I guess I have some sort of plan :)... Anyway, like I said, I'm new to all this, and I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to handle all the mail I'm suddenly getting. I have like 50 different e-mails in my mailbox and I just don't think I can get to them all. How do you guys manage it all? I'd appreciate any help or advice. I love writing poems and reading them so I also look forward to doing that with you guys. Oh, I printed out the tab for ywmfm (I'll try to get used to these acronyms) and it was great. I've always wanted to play that. Anyway, I only have Piece of You (as I said, I haven't been a fan long) and I was wondering where I could get all of Jewel's obscure stuff... Maybe someday I can be fanatics like you guys :) ... (I haven't even been to any of her concerts, but definitely will be in the future) Sorry this was so long, I hate long emails myself. But it's my first one and I had to say hi and introduce myself. Thanks for reading, though. And any help on these problems would really help.

We are currently co-ordinating that. It will be BETTER than the boot CD version & worth waiting for. I also have plans to do another tree around the 1st of the year. Its going to be called "Jewel Xmas Tree 96" & I hope to include excellent copies of the 3 xmas FM broadcasts plus a few special things (that no-one has heard & have not circulated at all) as bonus tracks. I need fellow EDA's within range of the 3 broadcasts to contact me if you get excellent copies of these broadcasts. I have located an incomplete WHFS tape(including Jewel w/The Wallflowers) & the KROQ & KTIS Cal shows haven't happenned yet. So if you can provide one or more of these broadcasts quickly that will be very helpful & appreciated. I'd like to master the seed tape during the holiday & Mike will help me get the tree going early January. This will get the 3 broadcasts out to all listmembers quickly & I promise the "extra tracks" will be something VERY SPECIAL. At this point I am simply asking for EDAs that have or can definately record masters of these FM broadcasts: 96/12/08 WHFS "Holiday Nutcracker",George MasonPatriot Center 96/12/13 KROQ Acoustic Xmas,Universal Amphitheater 96/12/15 KTIS Live 105 Green Xmas, Cow Palace With your help, I think we can do a very nice "Jewel Xmas Tree 96" that all EDAs will enjoy.

I agree that Columbia Street Brewery may be a better choice. Sorry Joe. The reason is parking. You can park on the street but for indoor parking, The Civic Center is a good place. It is right in the center of both the Brewery and 4th and B. If you park at the Civic Center, The Brewery is 3 or 4 blocks west. If you walk east through the Concourse, it has stairs at B Street. Two more blocks and you are there. There are more directions for the venue at their web site. They also have a exellent floor plan.

Does anyone think it is time for us to have a gathering of EDA's in > the local area? (NYC/NJ/NH/NY/MA) > =) > Akira The main reason is because of Big Blue. But let me give us all another very good reason. The attached story is from a book "Chicken Soup for the Soul". I recieved permission from the author to reprint it on the list. Please send me comments. WHO YOU ARE MAKES A DIFFERENCE A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made. Using a process developed by Helice Bridges of Del Mar, CA, she called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, "Who I Am Makes a Difference." Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a community. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgment ceremony. Then they were to follow up on the results, see who honored whom and report back to the class in about a week. One of the boys in the class went to a junior executive in a nearby company and honored him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and said,"We're doing a class project on recognition, and we'd like you to go out, find somebody to honor, give them a blue ribbon, then give them the extra blue ribbon so they can acknowledge a third person to keep this acknowledgment ceremony going. Then please report back to me what happened." Later that day the junior executive went into see his boss, who had been noted, by the way, as a kind of grouchy fellow. He sat his boss down and he told him he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very suprised. The junior executive asked him if he would except the gift of the blue ribbon and would he give him permission to put it on him. His suprised boss said, "Well, sure." The junior executive took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss's jacket above his heart. As he gave him the last extra ribbon, he said, "Would you do me a favor? Would you take this extra ribbon and pass it on by honoring somebody else? The young boy who first gave me the ribbons is doing a project in school and we want to keep this recognition ceremony going and find out how it effects people." That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, "The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I'm a creative genius. Then he puts this blue ribbon that says 'Who I Am Makes A Difference' on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you. I want to honor you. "My days are really hectic and when I come home I don't pay a lot attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to sit here and, well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me.

Hey, it has a life of its own now, I no longer drive it! I am spearheading the drive for Jeff's storage donation because several others asked that I do it months ago. The majority of excess list baggage has little to do with me. Before my recent posts, I had not "burdened" the list for five weeks. However, I did read the posts ya'll made. It may have seemed like "Harris" never went away, but that's because you guys kept it going. Which to me, is a sign that there were no better threads running. Why do folks post Harris comments? Because almost 200 EDAs have met face-to-face, and they sometimes share a common thread with other EDAs through me. Quite frankly, I make a good target for jokes, and don't mind others having a good laugh or two at my expense. Now, I tend to post in spurts, usually to generate interest in a show event (ie, JewelStock, tape trees or some sizeable EDA get-togethers). Aside from the list participation, I've done j-cards, JewelStock souvenirs and a couple of web sites. Overall, I post far fewer words than MANY of the other (actively posting) list members. And as silly as they can get, they usually touch on some aspect of the Jewel fan experience. (At least I don't go on about who/what Jewel sleeps with, her physical nature and how her professional decisions are "ruining" my life.) All jesting aside, my interest in her is a healthy one. If Mike, or Selena, or Amy, or Bill, or Rachel, or and I were on a plane with Jewel, and the plane went down with only two parachutes, and one was, like, say, permanently GLUED to my back, Jewel wouldn't get the second one... (Okay, okay, you got a point -- I would GRAB HOLD of Jewel as I jumped out! TA-DA!!!) Insofar as cluttering up the list, I always follow a few personal guidelines that I wish others would also consider: 1) I write messages, then post them at a later time. I submit less than one-quarter of what I actually write. 2) I edit my posts as lean and conscise as I feel they can be, and still get my point across. 3) I don't ignorantly quote other posts in their entirety, submit rambling "sigs" and headers, or illegible posts. I don't post to create conflict. 4) I try to approach things with a sense of humor, because too many folks on this list take it too seriously. But when a topic turns serious, I get serious. Quite frankly, I give a sh*t about this list and the people on it. Behind the scenes, I've been known to give a fair amount of advice. Much of it because I know many of you. And almost all of it as private e-mail. I only post public to squelch a silly flame war or when I feel the comment will amuse at least a few dozen of my fellow EDAs. I can understand your comments, Trent, and I will be the first one to defend your right to make them. As I have offered before, if there is ONE person on the list who wants the "Harris Mythos" to go away, and e-mails me so, consider it done. If I didn't routinely get posts stating "Hey Harris, LOL -- keep posting!", I'd have quit by now. It started out as a JewelStock tease, and has grown with each event. Most of it has a hell of a lot more to do with the EDA "movement" than you know. For the time being, I have replied to Igor's "King Dennis" letter only directly to the "list celebs" it involves. Lord knows, I wouldn't want to amuse the wrong people. But then again, if you don't see value in Igor's posts, you certainly won't see value in mine. The last time we "celebs" went "underground" and began side-posting to each other, the list content dried up. What remained strayed yet even further from Jewel. I shudder to think how off-base it will be by the time she releases all that "OLD MATERIAL" on her new album! ;) You can have inside jokes that are Jewel-event inspired, by folks who get together at Jewel shows to see each other as well, or threads that have NOTHING to do with Jewel between subscribers who have never met each other. But I think you can already find that in any random AOL chat room. Thanks for your ears, Angels. And keep in mind the absolute smartest thing you can do is meet these list folks in person at a show and bond with each other. They are truly exceptional souls. If any of you see me there, please come up and say hi. I'd like to buy you a cheese sandwich and a Pepsi. Especially you Trent.
