Does it really matter? Who really cares if other people think she's country. Let them think what they want, as long as *we* know she's not country.

There is a God! =) JE....and everyone else wanting to know about the Gregory Page show... It was awesome! I have a feeling that Gregory is my next boyfriend, right Igor?! Hehe! Anyway, I thought that James had a really good time, and unlike what I saw the Igor said, he didn't seem tired at all. As a matter of fact, he was expressing to me that he wished he had more time to stay and that his life not be so structured by a van coming to get him to go. I wish we could do more. I am hoping that there is a way James can coast with me in his chair while I skateboard in PB somewhere, just to get him out more. I will be talking to him soon about this. Anyway, it was a great time, the music was excellent, as always. I have followed his shows for about 8 months now, and he gets better every time. Also went to the Bugguts show and talked to my "new man" for a while. That is one interesting band. Hope everyone has fun and a great day! Good luck on finals!

I'll just have to do one :) eek it's late!!! (4:45am so far...) okay. friday i came home from college, and the usual 3 1/2 hour drive took 4 1/2 hours- paul was swinging on the swing i have in my front yard when we pulled in the driveway- he'd been there for 45 minutes!!! so i walk in the house, pack REALLY fast, and leave w/ paul (so much for coming HOME from college, i was in the house for 5 minutes!!! :)) we pulled into rob and tammy's driveway around 8:45pm, there were only a few people there so far- but they included tom proven (from california), Farr Shepherd (from oklahoma), and Adam Longfellow (pieces of Jewel webmaster- from florida)!!! every gathering has to have long-distance people flying from all over the country :) maybe 15 people stayed over friday night, chris moynihan, puddini, and i played on the various guitars there till 3 or 4am, with other people joining in, especially with the singalongs- Rachel (cornflake girl) leading. (I'm trying to be brief- it's kinda hard for me :)) the next morning, we all woke up around 8 or 9am, when Dan stark, mia, and burkeman showed up. dennis took a REALLY long shower and used up all the hot water (darn that harris!!!) and then made tammy run to find him a towel (he forgot to bring one :)) we got to six flags around 12 or so, people kept disappearing, more people kept showing up, and finally around 1:30 or 2 we had everyone but Dennis, who seemed to have entered the park without us :) we took over the tram (there were over 30 of us now :)) to the safari, where dennis finally joined us again, and there were so many of us we couldn't even fit on one bus!! so there were giraffes blocking traffic and poking their heads into cars to lick the drivers, monkeys were riding on the hoods and roofs of other cars, a couple of elephants were caught one on top of another (hmm, what could they have been doing?? :)), an ostrich attacked a zebra-striped pickup truck, it was pretty cool- and puddini slept through it all!!! 2:30 rolls around and we finally get into the park. we TRIED to stay in one big group, but thal lasted about 5 minutes. the lines were all atleast 2 1/2 hours long, but we had a secret weapon- ted! we didn't even realize it when he got to park all the way up front in the handicapped parking spaces, but he could get us in without having to wait in line! so 8 of us went off with him after chris, farr, ted, and I went on the batman ride after having waited less than 10 minutes :) i think we were the only group that got to go on more than one ride each before we met everyone else at 7! we all ate $3.17 hot dogs (or a few of us did :)) and then most of the people went back to rob and tammy's. some of us were smart and stayed longer with ted, so everyone got to ride atleast one more thing- (some rode batman, all of us did the flight simulator). then thirza, christina, eric (crashboy), and I did a recording of WWSYS and YWMFM (19$). thirza toldja about that in her post... back at the campbell inn, even more people showed up (what was the count by then, tammy?) over 40, atleast! Stephanie did a poetry reading, and bonded with people over the hot dog fest video and pistachio pudding (take a wild guess who that was provided by :)) The guitar playing for night 2 started at 2 or 3am with steve, puddini, and i on guitar, thirza singing, and tammy joining in for a bit too. I went to sleep at 4, only to be awakened at 8:45 with a campbell child bouncing on me- rude awakening!!! eek! we all ate breakfast at IHOP, and a few people left after that. the rest of us went back to the campbell inn and planned our paintball excursion that was to happen later that afternoon. hmm, I think I'll make this part 1- it's kinda long already :) Lauren ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 05:44:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Bond Lauren Delane Subject: my EDAdventure recap, part 2 (EDAssasins :)) paintbal was by far the coolest part of the weekend- eric, dennis, and i had each played once before, ted was a veteran paintballer, the rest were all new at it (but picked it up REALLY fast- eek! :)) we played 4 games- the first was a tie, the next 2 were won by "team harris" (that's us!! :)), and the last one was won by "the other guys with no team name" :) ted was our sniper- he sits there using his wheelchair as a blockade and probably made the most kills/forced the most surrenders (except for the 2 guys who played with us who had the semi-automatics instead of our rental pump guns- one is joining the list soon, i think :)). Rachel and ted played defensive, and our 2 semi-auto guys plus dennis, farr, and I were on offensive. the others switched places, teams, etc. each game. (gotta get "the other guys" story from someone on that team :)) our veteran semi-auto guys (Kalib and Eric) were very impressed- we rocked!! :) then the end rolled around... we posed for pictures and talked in the parking lot for another hour. ***(oh- to CRASHBOY- if the picture- we know which one it is, right? :)- makes it onto the web site there shall be hell to pay- paintballs at close range!!! understand? hehe j/k :))*** i digress, sorry... -moving on- everyone had lots of fun, davester took kalib and eric home to manhattan, paul and I went home, the rest of the people went back to say last goodbyes to the campbell inn. so that's the story- my version of it :) and now, since it's 5:45am, i think i might go to sleep now :) THANK YOU PAUL for driving me to the gathering!!! and of course, thanks to everyone for making it so awesome :) bye!!! :) Lauren PS. so thirza, how's your voice doing? mines pretty much shot from all of the screaming and singing :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 06:51:32 -0400 (EDT) From: WARKIDZ@aol.com Subject: Re: Hating EDAs hey there thanx!! =3D) luv ya all =3D=DE michelle ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 08:04:31 -0400 (EDT) From: "Kellyann D.

Though I'm counting the welts on my body, most of which were inflicted by Farr. The two guys that I took back to New York were not pyschos or anything. Actually one of them (Caleb-blond haired guy) knows my best friend's girlfriend (small world, huh?). We had a nice talk and the next time I go play paintball I'll probably give them a call. As an EDA newbie (I've been on the list for almost 2 months) who had never seen or talked to another EDA until this past Saturday, I have got to say that I had the time of my life. I got to Tammy and Rob's (our most gracious and angelic hosts) house at about 8:15 on Saturday. At first I was kind of nervous because I didn't know anybody (I went by myself) and it seemed everyone else knew each other. But very soon I started talking to people and I felt welcomed very quickly. For all you newbies out there, these are a great bunch of people, so if you get a chance to meet some of them, GO FOR IT (we're talking "friends for life" kind of thing)! I also got the chance to meet the legendary "DENNIS HARRIS". The mam is truly a kid at heart and a hell of a lot of fun (even though he nailed me right in the face during paintball). We were scheduled to leave for Great Adventure at around 9:00 but let's just say that's when Dennis finally got out of the shower (time management skills was something that we did not have this weekend). I believe we ended up getting to Great Adventure at around 12:30. There we met up with several other EDAs who apparently had been waiting there since 10:30. I have to mention of the EDAs who was already there named Stephanie (she writes the MOST beautiful and soul-wrenching poetry) who gets ticklish just by having someone point at her. The poor girl ended up being haraassed by us the entire time. We then all went to the Safari. If you do go, it's a lot better to take your own car into the Safari (not to mention, the extra $3.75/per person you have to pay to ride their bus). There should be a lot more animal interaction if you take your own car. Some of the birds, giraffes, and other animals will stick their faces right into your car window and monkeys might jump on top of your hood and hang around for a ride (in addition to showing you their red butts). Unfortunately, we took the bus and from what I observed more the a few us fell asleep during the ride (including myself). By the time we got to theme park is was already 3:30. Six of us (Anthony, Renee, Tom, Erica, Laura, and myself) decided to wait on line for Batman the ride. By the time we were done with the ride (which lasted 1 minute) it was 6:00. Later on, Ted managed to sneak 8 of use into the Right Stuff ride which was pretty cool. (I can't believe I went to Great Adventure and only got on 2 rides). Later on at Tammy and Rob's we just hung around, watched a video recording of the Rugburns, had a discussion of teh EDAF, and listened to a beautiful and emotional poetry reading by Stephanie. The reading was incredible. Stephanie expressed such much emotion during the reading, it's as if she wrote her soul onto the pieces of paper where she wrote her poems. (I see a correlation between her and the couple in Jewel's song "Painters" whom painted their very being into their potraits) The following morning we were suppose to eat breakfast at IHOP at 9:00. The resturant had a table for 30 set up until 9:00. Well let's just say we didn't get there until 9:30 and by that time the table had been broken up and we all sat at different tables. After breakfast, we were scheduled to arrive at the paintball place by 12:00. Well, we didn't get there until 1:30 (Does anyone notice a pattern here? Perhaps we need to be a bit more conservative on our scheduling efforts...) Anyways, paintball was a blast (literally) and I ended up taking home two guys we met at the paintball place. It has been an incredible weekend and I'm glad I got to meet some of the EDAs. It's nice to be able to relate a face to an e-mail address. Well, take cares and I can't wait till the next gathering. Oh, and Laura, I still have NOT called my girlfriend yet! :-P Peace and happiness, Dave :-) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 10:48:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Tlcathome@aol.com Subject: The EDAdventure - who showed?! Wow!!! What a weekend!! Those of you who did not make the Six Flags excursion should be kicking yourselves in the Kiester really hard about now ;-) It was an absolutely amazing weekend that ended way too soon (more pouting ;-) Our first arriving attendee was Farr, who flew in from Oklahoma on Thursday night. Farr was a wonderful houseguest :-) Hope you had fun in NYC friday :-) I was still rushing around the house trying to get laundry and dishes and stuff done - - trying to hide the fact that I'm the world's worst housewife :-D. Dennis calls for an update and stuff before he leaves for our place. The doorbell rings (it's maybe 3:15 at this time) and it's Tom Proven!!!! HUGS!!!!! He was a little disappointed that I knew right away who he was - - he was hoping for a little confusion on my part ;-) Soon after he got there my kids arrived home from school. Katerina, my youngest daughter, was just too excited to have company to show off for and was running around and being a nut :-) Next to arrive was Adam Longfellow. We proceeded to make signs welcoming the EDA's. Somehow we ended up with construction paper, tape, and other art supplies and Tom made an EDA coaster - - It looked like we were having kindergarten art center for the EDA's ;-) Then Rob returned from picking up Gian at the train station. Gian is a sweetheart, if you get the chance to meet him at the Toronto Lilithfair, don't miss it!! Everyone just kinda hung out and talked and stuff. I shanghaied Tom, and we took off for the grocery store. We got back and he helped me get sub stuff ready for everyone. After we ate, he also helped me make many more in case anyone was hungry as they arrived..... This was the only meal really provided by the Campbell Inn. We had a choice between food and booze to fill the fridge with beforehand - - we opted for the booze ;-) Paul Kim and Lauren Bond were the next to arrive. I'm adopting Paul ;-) If you ever meet him, ask him to dance for you ;-) Lauren is great, but she thinks I make my drinks too strong - - hehe ;-) The night becomes more of a blur at this point. I think it was Tom O'brien that arrived next and his friend, Mitch, soon after. Between Tom O., Tom P., and Mitch, I was cracking up :-) Geesh, what nuts!!! :-) I think it was Dennis and Chris Moynihan who showed up next. Didn't even see them come in. I heard a voice that sounded vaguely like the one that accompanied the door banging at our room in NH saying 'Rob, you up, hey Rob' hehe ;-) So, I walk in the kitchen and confront Dennis for a hug :-) Chris is a great guy :-) Gee, wanna trade guitars ;-) A little while later Ted, Erica (The Great Puddini!!!!), and Rachel came in!!! HUGS!!!!!! Of course, Erica was almost immediately presented with many boxes of pudding :-) Ted is absolutely hillarious. Man, can he move in that wheelchair. I caught him doing a little bit of a wheely a few times ;-) RACHEL!!! what can I say but - I LOVE YOU!!!!! :-) Next to arrive was Tegan (with her 2 brothers and their two friends in tow :-) - more hugs and exclamations of excitement as I was handed two ME boots :-) YAY!!!! Thanks soooo much Tegan :-) A while after they arrived various ppl began to crash - - I think I got to bed around 4:45am. I set my alarm for 7am in order to get my shower out of the way before the rush hit ;-) I made my way upstairs and discovered 3 new faces in the small upstairs crowd. Yes, it was Dan Stark, Mia, and Tim Burke!!!!! It wouldn't have been the same here without them!! And of course, Dan brought some Canadian beer for the troops :-) before we left for the park, Dave Tsang- Anthony and Renee - and Eric and Laura sowed up for the trek to the park. We FINALLY got organized and left for the park. There was almost a revolt as ppl decided they wanted food ;-) j/k We all stopped at McDonalds on the way to the park. We finally got to the park around 11 or so. I am still amazed that we actually managed to get together with the others meeting us at the park. We found Thirza and Jared and found Tom Miles, Stephanie, Christina, and Josh. Thirza was bubbly and ready to go :-) Wow, Tom is just one of the nicest EDA's there are. I just loved Stephanie and Christina - - Hugs and smooches to you both!!! Finally, we get ourselves over to the tram and make our way to the Safari........ (so that's all the pre-park arrivals :-) (btw, Mitch left before we went to the park - to return later that night) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 11:19:30 -0400 (EDT) From: CornflkGl@aol.com Subject: NJC: My Great EDAdventure, part 1 Ted picked me up in the SuperTruck (tm) at 9PM on friday night. I had been talking to Erica on AOL, so I told her were were coming, packed my junk into to truck, and drove away. Fast forward about an hour and a half, my beautiful navigation skills get us directly to Erica's house ( woo hoo ! ) , and as she was walking towards the house, I was spitting peppered beef jerky all over her driveway (that stuff was DISGUSTING !! ). Once again, we were off. About 20 minutes later, though, we stopped to get food, drinks, and gas. Now, THAT was interesting :). We took over the store, running around and yelling to eachother, and the guy at the counter seemed afraid. I bought some Bugles, Cheetos, and some pumpkin seeds with some soda. Erica bought nothing, and Ted bought some O.J. and a GALLON of water and cups. After we left the store, we got gas, and when I went in to pay , the man at the counter said " Have a nice trip", and I replied, "You too !" . I then started giggling hysterically , ran to the truck and forced Ted to drive away with the tires squealing ( well, not really ). Fast forward a bunch more hours, after we've gotten ourrselves to Tamy & Rob's without a mistake ( yay me, navigator ! ). Erica and I got out of the truck and started running around outside the house. We found a window and saw Chris Moynihan, so we banged on the window and RAN. We went around back and Mitch Weiss introduced himself to me. " My God... you're a REAL PERSON ??" I yelled, and then ran back to the truck. We all went inside, and there were a bunch of people there already, so I kind of made the rounds and said hi to people. I don't remember much what hapened after that... most of us sat in the fireplace room ( Rob made a fire and filled the room with smoke ) and sang along as Chris played Jewel songs. Erica and I finally ended up falling asleep around 5:30. UGH :). On saturday morning, after we leave really late ( you know how hard it is to wake everyone UP ? ) we went to IHOP, but the place was packed, so we proceeded to McDonalds, which was packed too :). Then we all got into the park, but since I was in the SuperTruck ( tm ) we got to park right by the entrance, and waited for everyone to walk up. We waited for a minute and took pictures, and then we decided to go to the Safari as Tammy & Rob wandered off into the park. Well, the problem was that Tammy had most of our TICKETS, so Tegan and Dennis and a Tom went to find them. Fast forward about an hour later, when we had EVERYONE but Dennis, so we descided he wasn't worth it and split on the tram. When we got to the bus for the safari, Tom & Tom both didn't get tickets in time, and though Tammy & Rob's kids moved and made two more seats, they wouldn't let them on. The safari was VERY COOL. The best part was the monkeys- they all hopped on to the hoods of people's cars and rode along on them. The giraffes were also very cool, and Tammy & I agreed that next time any of us did it, we'd have to bring cars instead of the bus. When we got off the buses, we waited for a while for Tom & Tom, and most of us bought food. We then advanced back to the park. When we got in the park, we kept just standing around, so Amy & I bolted. We walked around looking for a good first ride to attempt, and we ended up at the viking ship. After that, we surveyed the roller coasters, each of which had about a two hour wait. We thought we'd be safe, so we went to Mach 10 instead. Well, the line wasn't as long... but the ride kept breaking down ! We saw some others in our group. told them we were saving their spaces, and waited semi-patiently. Finally, we get into the first room of the ride, the doors are suppoed to open... and they don't. I sat down on the floor at this point. About 20 minutes later , we FINALLY get into the ride, and the people in our row don't alll move down like they're supposed to, so there's no room for Amy and I. Instead of telling the people to move down, the lady who was running the ride deecided to seperate Amy and I . Oh well. 2 hours after we got in line... the ride was OK. So Amy & I split again and start looking for food. It was pathetic. EVERYTHING had huge lines, and there were no burgers in site. Eventually Amy decided to go for tacos, and I went for ice cream. We both waited in line for about 45 minutes, and they got Amy's order wrong, but she didn't want to go back over there. By the time we finished eating, we decided to go back to th entrance, look into the stores, and wait for everyone else. Amy got some fudge and I bought a carmel apple. We found a few other EDAs and sat on the curb. Stacy Murphy ( StayMur AOL ) spotted Erica's hat and came over to say hi :). A few EDAs opted to stay at Six Flags so they could go on more rides with Ted, but I was beat. I jumped a ride home with Tom & Tom, and Mia. Part two to follow :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 11:24:48 -0400 From: Allan Subject: Canadian "Lilith Fair" dates Monday, May 19, 1997 'Anti-Lollapalooza' announces dates By JOHN SAKAMOTO Executive producer, Jam!

I got home from work on Thursday and couldn't stand the thought of the boys being only 3 hours from me and I wasn't going to see them. So I jumped up and drove my little butt off to Indy. Sharron and I arrived at The Patio and I began to see many familiar faces from Chuckstock. Greg was sporting his Hot Dog shirt that I brought him back from Cali. So we waited and drank a few and finally the Rugs got there. Yea! I was so excited to see them. Stinky and I talked for a bit and then we went to their little dressing room and joined Steve, John, and Joe Daly the head guy from the Rugburns list. Very cool guy! It was finally time for them to go on, so they changed into their official rock star clothing, ha, ha! They played a pretty long set, someone said it was 3 hours, but I'm not sure. So after the show Greg, sharron, Neil, and others went to another bar. I left and walked back over to the Patio to find Stinky and John and they were still tearing down theirequipment so I helped them for a bit and we headed back over to the bar. Well long story short, I don't think any of us slept all night. In the morning the front desk called like 400 times because they were supposed to check out like 2 hours before. Finally the manager came down and kicked us out. So they packed up their van, I said my goodbye's, hugs all around, and they headed off to Chicago for their show that night. So needless to say I didn't quite make it to work on Friday. In fact, I didn't even get home until last night. Sharron and Neil kidnapped me for the weekend. Sharron is the lead singer and Neil is the drummer from Chuck Marten. Chuck Marten is the band that Toni Dunn plays bass for, Toni is Greg Dunn's daughter. (Just a little back- ground info for ya). So ya, they kidnapped me, wouldn't let me go home, and showed me a really great time in Indy! I had to go buy clothes because I only planned on staying for 5 hours and ended up staying for 4 days! Got to see Toni all dressed up for prom, she looked absolutely beautiful! Hung out in Broadripple, went clubbing in Cincinnatti, and hung out at Mike's house, the guy who's doing Chuck Marten's next CD, and got to witness the mixing of one of their songs, Luanna. Very long process, let me tell ya!! So very cool weekend! Almost makes up for not going to NJ for the EDAdventure. Sorry Dennis, I just couldn't do it! Hope all of you who attended had fun! Looking forward to reading your posts about the weekend! Dan, Mia, Tim, hope you didn't miss Liz and I too much!!I myself will be gearing up for another long weekend with the Rugburns and another mini Lizstock because there are some very top-secret EDA's traveling quite far to join us for the Ohio/Michigan leg of the Rugburns tour. Not to mention, Greg Dunn and others will be staying with us! WooHoo! I love slumber parties!!! Well love you all! Take care! Love & Hugs- Shelly "Now's not the right time for love cuz I'm busy building an igloo in Alaska" ~Steven J. Poltz ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 13:13:22 -0400 (EDT) From: Tlcathome@aol.com Subject: EDAdventure (2) - what a weekend!!! So, we take the tram over to the Safari and all get our tickets for the bus. I believe we all got on the same bus except Tom Proven and Tom O'brien :-( They could have gotten on too as Rob and I had our girls on our laps, leaving two empty seats. The Safari was awesome :-) If you ever go to Six Flags Great Adventure, be sure to do the Safari also!!! Yes!! We got to see Llamas (BTW, Amy also showed up at the house before we left for the park - - Amy rules!!!) Darn, no blue ones!! The animals were awesome!! The Giraffes were in the road sticking there faces in the windows of cars. I really loved the monkeys. They were all over the cars, especially with all the ppl who were putting food on their windshields and hoods :-) After we got off the bus we grabbed some lunch and waited for the next bus with Tom and Tom to arrive. Then it was off to the park :-) Rob and I kinda went our own way in search of rides that the kids could and would go on :-) All in all it was a fun time. We actually ran into Stacey Murphy when I took the girls to the bathroom. We let her know who all was there and told her we were all meeting back at the fountain at 7. After a couple more rides, ending with the log water ride :-) we met everyone back at the fountains. At this point maybe half of us decided to take off back to the house. Soon after getting back Steve (Groovyworm) called for directions to the house and he and Russ (RussRive) showed up a little while later. Steve is so cool - - he gave me a few more little pointers on learning to play the guitar :-) Russ is great!! Wish you could have crashed for the night!!! Mitch returned for the second night also with two of his friends (I forget their names). Some folks stopped and picked up more beer on the way back and we took a pool and ordered pizza. I was mostly in the family room and upstairs bugging everyone in sight ;-) I missed Stephanie's poetry - didn't even realize she had read it until someone mentioned it later :-) Sometime later the rest of the folks who had stayed at the park returned :-) At this point, I'd say there were at least 40-45 people here. Many people crashed around 3am or so. A few of us stayed up and gabbed and sang along with the guitar in the garage (as Thirza said). I retired around 4 or 4:30 (I had planned to be up no later than 7 - - I made it up at 7:20, oh well ;-) We finally got everyone up and getting ready for the EDA breakfast at the IHOP. Nothing like 40 EDA's descending on a restaurant at one time :-) BTW, Thirza isn't the only one who puts syrup on her bagel..... So does Erica ;-) Ask her about the Blueberry syrup ;-) Erica and I decided it would be funny to take an IHOP coaster and have Dennis sign it as a souvenir, which we both did - hehe :-) (if we ever get the film developed and if the pics come out, we'll do a little page for it - I plan to use the coaster at the top of my page :-) hehe After finally getting through breakfast we returned again to the house and said goodbyes to many ppl who were taking off or would be leaving straight from paintball (Dan, Mia, and Tim - I didn't get to say goodbye to you, so Hugs to you all - - Love ya :-). Paul - you didn't speed, right?? right??? I can't hear you..... ;-) So, the paintball folks took off for that and left at the house were Tom Proven, Tom O'brien, Mitch, Gian, Thirza, Steve, me and the kids (Rob and Jared had left to get tickets for lilithfair and the PNC show :-). We had a blast as Katerina wore out Tom and Mitch :-) Soon it was time for Mitch and Tom to take off and we said our goodbyes to them. Then Tom Proven left (BTW, Rob says how could you leave before he got back?? ;-) he got back maybe 5 min. after you left...) Jared, Thirza, and Steve left soon after Rob got back. Rob, Gian, and I picked up a little and then chilled with a movie for a while (we watched So, I married an Ave Murderer - I love this movie :-) Finally, sometime after 5 the paintball crew returned (Ted, rachel, erica, dennis, chris, and Farr). We decided to order chinese food before they left. Soon after we ate Ted, erica, and rachel forced themselves to go (after many pictures - - you guys better send me copies!!!) Dennis and Chris kept saying they had to go, but it wasn't until a while later that they actually made it out the door. Dennis told paintball and other stories and had me laughing so hard it hurt ;-) Farr and Gian weren't leaving til the next morning, so we all cleaned up the chinese food stuff and made our way up to the computer to check mail and see who was in the chat rooms (even though most of the ppl were still driving home) I made myself go to bed around 12:30 or so. Rob was already asleep and I don't know what time Gian and Farr finally went to bed. They both had to leave very early and were gone when I got up at 7:30. I said goodbye to Gian the night before, but Farr, I didn't get to say goodbye, so big hugs and loves :-) It was an absolutely great weekend - I really hope we can do it again (trying to talk Rob into making it annual :-) Hope to see you all again real soon :-) See those of you who are going at the Holmdel, PNC Jewel show :-) Perhaps we can all meet here or something before the show. We're even closer to the venue than we were to the park :-) I love you all!!!! The house is just too quiet now!!! I hope this wasn't too hard to follow, I'm sooooo tired ;-)'' Tammy :-) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #371 ***************************
