MIKE ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 01:17:22 -0400 (EDT) From: Paul2k@aol.com Subject: NJC: Paul's recap of the EDA adventure Hi! My name is Paul Kim. You might remember me from such posts as "9:30 Club Concert", "9:30 Club Concert, Part 2", "Paul's Faboo Vacation Week", and "Paul's Little Rant from September." This is my scattershot recollection and syndicated column detailing the events of the weekend from my Point of View, so back off, monkey boys and girls! I left my house in Aberdeen, MD around 4:30 to pick up Lauren Bond in Bowie, MD...we left her house around 6:30 and made it up to TammyandRob's House a little after 10:15 or so. We piled out of my car and i moaned as my butt was sore like hell...and were met by Rob and Farr out in the garage working on getting the dents out of Farr's VCR (what kind of looney family keeps their refrigerator in the garage, or as the non-frenchies might say, the Car Hold). We took our stuff into the house and met the various people already there. Gianny (who i didn't recall because he pronounces his name like John), Adam, who was talking on the phone to Chelsea (and i vaguely recalled meeting Adam at Jewelstock), Tom Obrien who is saving up for a computer and who is a regular dream, and Tom Proven, who has long hair and looks like a greek god now...mmmm....he turns me on, he does. We milled around a bit...talked, ate, played guitars...I walked out of the house to move my car and when i went back in, Dennis and Chris were standing in the kitchen enjoying some beverages...they appeared out of nowhere, i tells ya! Farr was dubbing the Toronto Video and people moved around the house, getting aquainted with each other and sometimes admiring the terrible camera work of the video :) Mitch Weiss arrived. I bowed down to him. I met Tammy, my surrogate mommy again and her wonderful daughters Katerina and Ahmetia...damn cool names from damn cool parents. There was a blue markered angel on the tv screen, lots of signs on the doors, and the EDA coaster for us to marvel at...and the alcohol was flowing like the river styx. Rachel and Erica and Ted arrived...by this time i had lost track of what time is and how things move forward linearly and you're supposed to get tired after 2 am or so... Tom O, Mitch, Rob, and I were trading Simpsons quotes all over the place. I was putting my hands down Dennis' pants and jumping on both Toms...TEgan and her boys arrived too...there was lots of stuff going on all over the house of TammyandRob. Singing and dancing and Bacchanalian pleasures....I went to sleep in Ahmetia's bed with the Mickey Mouse motif and no one else sharing the room sometime after 3 am with Tom O and Mitch Weiss wailing away about the King of Spain and his unspeakable wife queen lisa. I was woken up by Rachel tromping into the room and hitting me with a pillow. I got up and fall back on the bed then got up again and stumbled around the house in a bit of a daze...I washed my face and wet my hair in the kitchen sink since the bathrooms were in use (i had taken a shower the night before anticipating a busy morning), ran into Tim Burke(man) and grabbed my toothbrush and went upstairs to the bathroom to see if i could sneak in for some toothpaste...and nearly peed my pants when Mia walked out of the bathroom and said hi. I had no idea that she or tim or dan were coming (i guess that's why they're called mystery guests). Before i go any further, i should publicly state that i love Mia, Tammy, Tom, Tom, Rachel, Farr, Ahmetia, Katerina, Gianny, Rob, Dan, and i won't list everyone else because i don't have the patience. If i could live in a commune with a group of people, these would be the ones. Of course, we'd have to keep dennis on a muzzle and leash, but i think everyone could deal with that. 6 flags happened just like everyone else said. If i had a million dollars, I'd buy you an exotic pet, like a llama or an emu. I split off from the main horde after the Batman Theater Stunt UnSpectacular thing. We had left Mia and Eric at an ATM and lost them and Rachel and Amy had run away and people just kept disappearing from the group...I wandered back and forth across the park several times...rode one ride...bumped into Robtammyahmetiakaterina once and several hours later Jared. We then kept pulling more EDA's into our midst until we went to the fountain at 7 and decided that some of us wanted to go home and some wanted to exploit Ted some more. So, several car loads of people left Great and really crowded and skanky Adventure and made it back to the house of ROBANDTAMMY despite my best efforts to drive by instinct and not by map...Much feasting and drinking was done...although there was not enough pizza to fill all our stomachs...We watched Simpsons episodes and tried to beat the lines and did so admirably, especially Rob and Tom O...I played a little Nintendo against Tim B...we sucked royally in the royal rumble... I had a cup of champagne...and i ain't talking 'bout no glass cup, i'm talkin' a plastic cup full of champagne...and in paris they don't got quarter pounders....blah blah blah. We sat around and talked and listened to music and guitared and ate and I kept messing with Mia's head and taking her chair and making funnies with the Toms. People came back from the park...more pizza was ordered...i wandered around a bit...lots of stuff went down, especially with Thirza and her parents on the phone and other worries :) and the meeting went on and i played the pessimistic party pooper and Tammy wants to adopt me now :) i'll tell y'all about Sunday later.

I think that everyone already has an angel, the minute they're born. They just have to invite them into their hearts. I think your Jewel confrontation opened up your heart to your angel. Songwriting, for me, is a way for me to express myself and put my feelings or stories into a song. You just have to have time to think to yourself, and write what you feel. My inspiration is Jewel, of course. =) She's why I started writing songs. I owe her a lot! To some people, she may just be a singer, but she is more than that to me, and she always will be.

Hey there, It is as important to be able to compose pieces with and without profound inspiration. Remember that Jewel's first big hit (Who Will Save Your Soul) was written when she was 17, on a greyhound bus, and REALLY bored. Out of her boredom came a "top 40" hit. She didn't even really like the song at first. Also - don't ever be ashamed of your compositions. Many artists write music that they think will never be appreciated by many. I can recall when I learned that the Beatles never intended on releasing Hey Jude. They thought it was too simplistic - it wasn't "good enough" for them. But they released it and it became one of their number one selling songs, if not the number one song they sang. As a musician and composer myself I can only advise you as to what inspires me: Let anything and everything inspire you. Let your emotions "manifest" themselves to levels that are "out there." Be profusely saddened or elated when someone steps on a bug. Realize what that has done to upset or help the cycle of life. Scream and jump with overwhelming joy when you realize things are going good for you. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you shouldn't be emotional. The ability to feel emotions was given to us for a reason. Don't suppress the nature of it all. Remember: "We are emotional beings." And finally - don't compose music for others. If you compose for yourself, as a release of emotion/ideas, you will be much happier. When music is made with people's reactions in mind, the outcome is not usually desirable. Do not mistake my meaning - your music should be enjoyable (that's what sells records/cd's) but if you have to hold back your ideas in order to make an enjoyable piece, then what's the point? Music is simply (the term "simply" is used verrrrrry loosely) another way to communicate. And when you fail to communicate or lose your ideas in search of the "perfect" song, then there is no real point to the piece, right? Hopefully my ramblings will have brought some ideas to your brain - and maybe you should go and compose something right now! Take care, Eul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 20:34:50 -0700 From: "Adrian du Plessis" Subject: a star is born -- Jewel Kilcher what an amazing idea and gift!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 01:57:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Angel Subject: wonderful people With Jewel's birthday almost here, it seems like all of the talk of people doing wonderful things is coming back. So, I'd like to share with you what the angels I work with have been doing. Recently there was that flood in the Dakota's (sorry I don't know much about it) and many peoples homes and possessions got ruined. You might think that being here in NY it wouldn't affect me or the people that I work with, very much. But it did. My company (which happens to be a small one) joined a program called "Adopt A Flood Family" and a little while later we were given a specific family that was affected by the flood and was in need of assistance. Now it is our job to try and get them anything they need, whether it be food, clothing, or even money. We are allowed to send things that we don't need anymore and are willing to get rid of, or hold a raffle to raise money or anything we want. It has become our responsibily to take care of this family. I personally haven't talked to the actual family yet, but have been trying to. They moved around a couple of times, and have changed their address/phone #. They are very hard to reach, but I will try again tomorrow morning. And keep trying until I know that they are on their feet again. Anyway, I just wanted all of you angels to know that the people I work with are angels too, and that one person or a few people CAN make a difference. -katherine ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 01:57:48 -0400 From: rickbond Subject: Re: MrBB-Jewel's Birthday-All is revealed :-) > As an abstract and symbolic gesture, we've arranged to have > a star officially named after Jewel.

Bad news first: Jewel will be playing at a "record company thing" that is not open to the public, while she is in Oslo. I'm totally, utterly bummed out at this news. Then good news: Jewel told me this personally!!!! Yes, I talked to Jewel on the phone just a few minnutes ago! It was really weird, and totally cool. Anyway, she said that the "record company thing" is, and I quote, "a total drag" I'm way up in the clouds after talking to Jewel, but the news she gave me threw me into a vertical dive. I think the impact is gonna be devestating... Just thought I'd share. Can't understand why they'd make it a closed thing! <<< X never marks the spot >>> "Nightswimmer" - -The freefalling Angel ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 08:36:10 -0500 From: "Gianfranco Covello" Subject: Re: MrBB-Jewel's Birthday-All is revealed :-) As John-Eric said, wow.... what a great idea, and amusing too. :-) You guys are great and thank you for providing this on behalf of all the EDA's.

Hello my darlings... This weekend, the Lancaster area is going to be blessed with a visit from our dear friend Thirza. For those of you who do not know her, we hung out at Great EDAdventure, and she is an absolute SWEETHEART...anyone who meets her would absolutely adore her. She posted the list the other day about wanting to get together, and I want us to all give her a really fun wonderful happy weekend. SO...if anyone is interested in getting together, PLEASE email me privately so I can give you my phone number and so we can discuss plans. I have a few ideas...on Saturday night these cool acoustic singers, Paul Scull & Harry Trutzman, are going to be at Monk's Tunic in downtown Lancaster...it's this really incredibly kickass cafe that always brings in great acoustic singers. But it would be so great for us all to get together, if for no other reason than to hang out with THirza and each other (which is of course the biggest and greatest reason of all). SO...please email me... Love you all Stephanie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 09:03:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Tlcathome@aol.com Subject: Re: MrBB-Jewel's Birthday-All is revealed :-) WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!

Hi all you wonderful EDA's out there!!!! yesterday evening I went to the blood drive for the little girl I posted about last week who was in critical condition from a car accident. To remind you, she is only 9 years old. I am fortunate enough to have the type A+ blood that she needs, so I hauled myself to the drive and got in line (they had a great turnout!! prolly 100 ppl from 3:30 to 8:30 pm. I think I just made the iron level required for giving blood - good thing I took my vitamins ;-) When I finally make it through the line and am on the table, I warn the woman taking my blood that EVERYONE has trouble getting my vein the first time. She did too - hehe, I warned her!! Anyway, she finally got the needle in and 10 min. later I was drinking lemonade and out the door :-) I did get the address for donations and gifts for the little girl. Her name is Stephanie Devine. I don't want to take anything away from the JPK fund, but I think this little girl deserves some consideration if you can help her out :-) The Stephanie DeVine Fund c/o Princeton Alliance Church 4315 U.S. Route 1 Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852 phone # is (609) 520-1094 If you send a gift/donation, please e-mail me and let me know :-) Thanks for reading!!

I understand (mostly from nightly phone recaps from Cornflkgl) that a lot has gone on while I've been absent, and I can't wait to get back on the first hand end of things (not that Rachel doesn't tell a good story ). Well, I guess that's all, sorry if I wasted anybody's space, just really glad to be back. Bye!

I kinda sorta distinctly remember that a lot of people were planning to come down to Northampton, Massachusetts for the June 6th Rugburns show at the Iron Horse ( tickets $6 ) . So far the guest list includes me, Tegan, Ted & Tessia ( IN HER PROM GOWN, no less ! ), and possible other guests include Jared ( maybe Chelsea, shh... ) and Erica and I'm SURE there's others... The Snyders too... so... who else is coming ? :) I'd really love it if everyone could mail me to let me know if you're showing up or not. I'm going to attempt to convince my parents to let EDAs sleep over that night. That part isn't definite yet, but I still would like a confirmation of everyone who's going. Since the show isn't until 10, we can all go out to dinner and run around Northampton in search of John, Steve, and Stinky. I gar-un-tee ( nope, I can't spell that word ) that they'll be traipsing around somewhere ! So if you wanna see a KICK ASS Rugs show, gar-un-teed ( :) ) to be a great night and fun for all EDAs, let me know NOW !! WOO HOO !!! Love, Rachel : ) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #377 ***************************
