Hi everyone, I've delayed writing this first letter back, once again in Florida, until I could find something that I've been seeking. Something that a certain unnamed person, okay, Dennis, kept from me in NJ. And that was SLEEP. I still haven't found it and am exhausted as numerous things have kept me awake for long hours ever since the weekend. But I had to write... I have much to say but I will try to be brief. Most importantly, I wish for everyone to stop and look at the last few days on this list. I've been savoring the posts instead of deleting. This has been the most incredibly positive, love-filled period since Jewelstock. Have you noticed how the positive, friendship/love/support induced posts have taken over the list again? It's like a new life that is overshadowing and conquering the "list evils" that have forced some of us underground, into hiding or just away, period. I admit that I came very close to giving it all up a month or so ago. It seemed like things were losing control and the list was adding more stress to my life than pleasure. Thanks to some timely support by Mike Connell (incredible guy always), I put things in perspective and went on for a while longer. I also thought about how the changes in the list have forced many to leave or just quit posting like they used to and it is a shame to give up on something rather than fight for it. My thoughts were that the list could be taken over again by the positive ones, the veterans, the newbies still fresh with a sincere love of the whole EDA concept, the ones who hadn't yet fueled their flamethrowers to unleash upon angel wings. This list is filled with human beings so we'll always have human nature, which can be volatile and reactionary. There were plenty of examples of that recently. However, I hope their are many others, veterans included, who are inspired by the recent overwhelmingly positive and supportive posts and will help continue this rejuvenation of the list. This is the most excited I've been in a long time around here and I hope it can continue well into the future and takes us through whatever rough times lay ahead. We can't thank or support our list admin/owner (who I recently got to meet) Jeff enough for without him, none of us would be here with our great memories and inspirations this list has given us. This is a private list run by an individual, one human, one soul, one fund. It's not a corporation, company or committee so we must remember that and abide by whatever he wishes. It was once suggested to me by a longtime member of this list that if you have a post reacting to someone else, or just a note that could possibly be taken the wrong way by anyone in the world, you should "sit on it." No, I'm not talking Fonzi here. I mean, write it and let is sit. Read it again the next day and you may be amazed at how it looks. Make whatever changes are needed before sending it, or maybe even don't send it at all. We have a few notorious people on the list that post mainly to antagonize and get a response/debate/attention or whatever. That's fine but we need to look at that motivation before we respond. Our words affect people. I won't mention what our hands do. ;) For example, earlier I was having a miserable morning when I got a wonderful email from Stephanie Kartalopoulos. It made me smile and turned my WHOLE day around. I've been in a better mood ever since. That is the POWER of a positive email. It's also easy to curse and get ticked off at what you read, although I've learned better and shrug it off pretty easily now. :) In summary, I hope that this true EDA spirit can keep itself lit and guide our way through the tougher times that rise up occasionally. There will probably be more when Foolish Games is a smash hit and we get another influx of people who don't quite understand the concept. Whether we were there or not, we should all celebrate in the atmosphere of the EDA Adventure and Jewel's birthday this week and give a huge warm thanks to Tammy, Rob, Dennis, Gerry, Amy and Alan for much of it. With spirit and love to everyone, Adam Pieces of Jewel http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/xenomorph/jewelmn.htm Pieces of Jewel http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/xenomorph/jewelmn.htm ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 12:52:56 -0400 From: AdamPOJ Subject: My EDA Adventures in the Northeast Here is my post on the EDA Adventure, finally. Yes, I came from Florida but it was really just good timing with the earlier event in Bull Run, Saturday Night Live, some training for work and the Adventure all in the same ten day period. How could I pass all that up? I'll be brief and jump around a lot, trying to think of everyone. First, Newark airport looks like it's in the middle of a nuclear test zone from the air. No offense intended if you live very close. I would only ask, why? Second, it was quite an adjustment to driving up there as I struggled for about 1:15 to get to the Conneticut border, sit through NY toll booth after toll booth and this was the "Express" route? So, I arrived at the Alan and AmyJo Bershaws estate in the afternoon. Just in time to chat a bit, and calm my frayed nerves before letting Amy drive us for a couple hours to Bull Run, Mass. You've read about the Patti Griffin show there so I can only add that she's awesome. I finally met Jeff, our list admin, and had some interesting conversations with him and Alan. Rachel showed with her curious appetite for italian food and fries. :) We'd met before but Rachel didn't seem to recall, even though we're in photos together :) I met Chris Snyder for the first time. Very nice man. As well as Ted, Tessia, Phil and Albert. It was a great group and a great night overall. I also would like to mention Alan and Amy Jo's kindness and hospitality in letting me stay with them. A lot of shop talk but it was great fun. I'll skip over my thoughts and attitudes on NY and NJ roads, signs, and tolls. This is an EDA post overall :) Although still in awe that they opened their home up to so many "physical strangers," I found Rob and Tammy's place easily with Rob's great directions (although some may disagree!) :) As long as you skipped over Rob's commentary, you were fine. :) I walked in and surprise surprise, Tom Proven was there. With hair!! I didn't know the other young man but I soon found out it was none other than Farr. A very, very nice guy who I enjoyed spending a lot of time with and who even checked a VCR and Tape deck on a plane to help out other EDAs, although there wasn't a lot of dubbing done over the weekend. After my pink Super Mario Bros ice cream gumball nose was swiped from me (yes, I'm being mysterious) we attended Tammy's Arts and Crafts 101 for EDE's....I mean EDA's.... That was when Rob arrived home with Gian. It was nice to meet him. And I second Harris when he said that he didn't know if Gian was male or female. :) Later it was Paul Kim and Lauren Bond, great couple of angels. Lauren is so sweet. I have to mention Chelsea who I talked with almost as long as anyone and she wasn't even there. Between and chat and her long distance phone bill, it was a while. No Rob, no marriage is planned. :) Selena wasn't there but I found her on chat for a minute. That was a cool surprise. Ted, one of the most wonderful souls I've ever met, arrived on the scene with our own Cornflake Girl Rachel and The Great Erika. I'd never met Erika before so that was a trip. Dennis, of course, is Dennis. He broughts lots of cool photos, videos and most importantly, himself. I'm so sorry you didn't have a better pillow Dennis....when you had one at all. I can't remember when I laughed so hard for so long as some of those conversations took place as the dark turned to light outside. How can anyone expect much sleep in a darkened room with Dennis, Farr, Gian and Dan? I awoke to the noise of a resilient alarm clock and Dennis racing to the shower. Uh, did anyone else in NJ have any water that morning? Other than the flooding. The famous Harris drought of 97 was behind that. When I did wander out of the upstairs bedroom I met Tim Burkeman, Mia and Dan. Actually, it was someone who kind of looked like Dan but without the hair. After a while I figured out that it really was Dan, not a fake. :) Proven and Dan must have planned this hair thing since last summer. I didn't talk much to Tim at first, but later I got the chance to follow him around Six Flags. A must do. Don't go on any rides. Just follow Tim. :) And the beautiful Mia, whom I was desperately trying to stay awake next to on the Safari ride. I was too much of a zombie at that point already and didn't get to talk to you like I wished. I seemed to be dreaming that a bunch of giraffes, monkees and pissed off ostriches were attacking a bus full of EDAs. Hmmm. I think a peacock saved us. Amy! A very nice sweet, angel who I enjoyed the pleasure of meeting after all of Dennis' stories and then later we got to stand in a long line at Six Flags. I'm sorry Amy had to leave "early" but it was great anyway. It's always great to see Eric, as nice as ever. Anthony and Renee. I too have a vague recollection of meeting at Jewelstock but there were so many angels. Tom, heard some more hilarious stories and I won't soon forget the imagery of some of them. :) Tegan, it nice to meet you after hearing your name so many times from so many great people. I didn't really meet the gang you brought with you as they pretty much kept to themselves. Thirza, what a surprise. Yet another great EDA that I hadn't met and was completely off in my mental imaging. I hope we meet again in the near future. Jared, it wasn't like the long, long hours we spent at Jewelstock but at least we talked for a minute. I'm sure they'll be more events in the future. Hang in there. And of the most surprising EDA's for me, full of power, passion and emotion, at least in that she moved me as much as anyone has, was Stephanie. A true spirit in the meaning of EDA. I was beat after Six Flags, which I wouldn't call a park compared to Disney, Universal, Busch, Cedar Point, etc. I was disappointed in that aspect. Anyway, I slept through the pizza Saturday evening but awoke fresh after an hour or so and was ready to burn the rest of the night. After making sure Dennis didn't have a pillow, it was lights out for a whopping three hours of sleep. And then lights on, lights off, lights on, lights off, lights on, lights off....Dennis was in the room. :) Ok, that was brief but most everything that happened to me was already covered by someone else. I left just after breakfast, not able to get myself up for paintball as much as I'd enjoy getting a shot at Dennis :) I was tired, on the road for over a week at that point and decided to save a day on an expensive car rental. As well as the need to look for a new place to live down here in Florida since mine is being torn down for condos. Hope all is well with everyone and gets even better, Adam Pieces of Jewel http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/xenomorph/jewelmn.htm ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 12:54:12 -0400 (EDT) From: YOEST4244@duq3.cc.duq.edu Subject: Re: MrBB-Jewel's Birthday-All is revealed :-) As a lifelong astronomy buff and amateur astronomer, I think that this idea of naming this star after Jewel is absolutely terrific :) Greg ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 11:58:18 -0600 (CST) From: pwmielech@stthomas.edu Subject: Rugburns in Minneapolis Review Well it's finally week for me but I was able to break myself away from stuying to go see the Rugburn's last night. Frst of all I'm not 21 and it was at a bar so began my quest for a fake. I am an Asian male so I was able to find a ID from a friend of a friend. So last night I was Hoang Nguyen. OK so I got to the bar and I got in easily. The place was pretty empty except for the band and several female companions. What studs. So the opening band was a local act Rex Daisy. They were alright but they didn't seem to into there set. So the Rugburn's came on at 11 Minnesota bar's close at 1 which really sucks. They started out with some soft stuff, then gradually got harder and crazier. The place was by this time packed. I must say that they were really on tonight. Stinky seemed a little calm for some reason. By the second half of the show they were pretty drunk. Steve was going around kissing various people around the bar, including some extremelyy drunk girls in front. They then did an improve song about the bar and these girls. They did do one cover which was a Price song Little Red Corvette. That got the Minnesota crowd going. They finished with UPS My heart Next Day To you. Then they came out to encore with Dick's Automotive. Steve was singing this song about 4 times faster than usual so it was only about 10 minutes long. He did add a few verses about pulling down his pants in which he did just that and John proseeded to spank him OK the set list is coming up next.

If so, what made YOU start? Who inspires you? WHAT inspires you? > > Nathan Maharaj > jnj@better.net Well, for starters, I had to realize that I should not copy or write or be like anyone else. I believe that there is too much of that. Which, I can understand because there are some great writers that inspire us so much that we tend to start being them. I'm guilty of it myself. That's fine if you want to do that, but I sometimes just get really sick of hearing the same lines by different artists. It seems that the latest trend is to be so poetic and melancholy, and everybody sound like they just want to jump off of a cliff. I just want to scream, "Cheer up. It's been done!" Know what I mean? As far as inspirations, I would have to say the Indigo Girls definitely inspire my music and writing. However, one of the biggest, if not the biggest inspiration for me ever would have to be Janis Joplin. Her intense lyrics just scream out everything I feel. Besides, after I get done singing/screaming a Joplin song, I just feel so much better/relieved, ya know? Maybe not. Oh well. Anyways, that's my input. Thanx 4 the post. I'll shut up now!

What other worlds Await us out there? Towards which other wonders Will we lift our eyes to stare?

It's really an article on Shawn Colvin. Not a whole lot except that: - -Jewel is easier to promote than Shawn Colvin (who is 41) - -Jewel's album is a "coffeehouse nightmare" - -Shawn Colvin "likes her stuff". The writer then says "let's hope she'll [Shawn Colvin] teach her something [on the Lillith Tour]." As I said, not a lot of Jewel material. W.

If, at times, this sounds overly sappy or cheesy or anything along those lines, I'm sorry (why is it that I always seem to be apologizing for every itty bitty thing I do or say?) Dear EDAs, Words are some of the most important things to me, and I always have the words to express my emotions or my thoughts, but right now I am speechless. I do not know if the proper words have been created for me to express the love i feel for each and every one of you and to express just how much of a miracle you have all been in my life. The concept of this list blows me away whenever I think about it. We came together out of our love of Jewel's music and our admiration for her. We stay together and grow together not only because of the words Jewel sings or the voice with which she sings them, but because of the beauty of our own souls which has enabled us to find the beauty in her music. This same beauty is what has enabled us to find each other's goodness and hold on to it for dear life, no matter where you live, how old you are, what direction your own journey in life has taken, etc. This list has become a true family, one which concerns itself with the happiness of each individual soul and each individual's talents. Everything that I had gathered from this list, as real as it was starting to become, was still a fairly distant concept to me until this past weekend. I knew it existed, but I still had those twinges of doubt, the "well, everyone is worthy of this but me" or the "well I am just some new person who has been here for four months, no one has to really care and no one has to support me, someone they do not know." Those doubts were incredibly foolish. When I went to Great EDAdventure this weekend, I was incredibly nervous; I knew that many of the people there already knew each other and that they would be off doing their own thing. But every single thing that had once been somewhat distant to me, the reality of this connection that is stronger than family, that is, I guess, the IDEAL family, became so incredibly real from the very minute I met everyone. It did not matter that this was my first EDA event. It did not matter that I had only been on the list for four months. All that mattered was the beauty of my soul and that I was there. All of that was celebrated. All weekend long it was like one big celebration of each other and the joy we bring to each other's lives just by being parts of them. There is nothing more amazing than surrounding yourself with such intense beauty known as the EDAs. As the weekend went on, I realized that what I felt inside me was nothing other than complete happiness. It was OK for me to live through my soul. It was OK for me to be myself, to have my own opinions and thoughts. It was OK for me to be silly or on a sugar high or emotional or anything. I could just be. It was all that was expected of me. And I was accepted; I was welcomed; I was loved. Who I was was more important than anything i may accomplish or any grade I may get on an exam or anything else that is so incredibly trivial but that, unfortunately, so often becomes the concern of many people with whom we are surrounded. For the first time in my whole life I had seen the manifestation of "family." We all were there to support and love each other, whether someone was strumming his guitar or I was reading my poetry (and crying, as I ended up shedding tears as I was reading), or discussing an idea for EDAF. You are all a miracle in my life. You have given me something that I never knew could exist for me-a family, a home, unconditional love and support. I am almost 20 years old and have grown up with a father, mother, and brother. Now, for the first time, I have a family. How can I thank you for the miracles you have given me each and every day I have known you? Is there a proper way to thank you all? I love each and every one of you. You are all such an incredible part of me, and I know that I have become a part of you. No matter where we all are located, whether that be down in Florida, California, Oklhaoma, Canada, or anywhere on this ocntinent or, for the EDAs elsewhere, in this world, the distance is only a physical trivial matter. Our souls are in constant embrace, constant togetherness, constant love. I love you all more than I ever imagined I could love anyone. You are my family.

It was my first Jewel concert (being a Brit - not that surprising really), but fortunately thanks to a kind EDA in the US (thanks Farr) who sent me some of Jewel's earlier material I was familiar with the set. I did originally have tickets for a show in the UK as well, but it was cancelled at the last minute, so I was glad to see her in Belgium at least. The gig was in a smaller area of the Ancienne Belgique, called the club - which could take about 100 people. As it was though, there were only about 60-70 - so it was a very intimate and friendly setting. I stood about 12 - 15 feet back, behind the four rows of chairs. Most of the audience were Belgium, so knew nothing of Jewel, with the odd sprinkling of Americans to fill out the crowd. On entering the venue we were given a demo CD with YWMFM, WWSYS and Pieces of You. The set lasted a little over an hour, and by the end of the evening I think that Jewel had lots of new fans here in Belgium who will doubtless go out and spread 'the word'. Jewel appeared on time, looking absolutely stunning, and I know everyone says this - but yes, she definately looks even more beautiful in real life. She told us lots of little stories and ancedotes throughout the performance (the one about Bob Dylan, her Dad's eyebrows, etc) - she was very enigmatic and charming and definately radiated an aura of presence. Gosh, I think I'm in love :) . Anyway, I won't bore you with this stuff anymore - i'll get on with the actual performance. sorry if I can't remember all the correect song names or the correct order - I'll just do my best: 1. 1000 miles 2. Don't 3. ? - I missed this one (had to take a pee :( ) 4. Sometimes it be that way 5. said this was a new song, it was about 'Powerbars' and volleyball 6. another new song - Stranger ? 7. YWMFM 8. POY 9. Too Darn Hot (Elle Fitzgerald) 10. WWSYS 11. The one about catching a cold 12. A very Big Girl 13. The song inspired by a Bruce Springsteen album. 14. A lullaby song for herself when she was living in her van Encore: This was the highlight of my evening... when Jewel re-appeared I called out for a few of the songs not on POY - I was easily heard because nobody else knew any of them. Jewel then asked how I knew these songs, so I said, "Through the EDAs" to which she smiled and replied, "I love you guys". Then she started strumming around to Foolish Games and I asked if she would play Louisa and her blue Guitar. Jewel said, "Yes, lets play that instead, I love that song" - "So do I" I shouted. So Louisa and her Blue Guitar was played, to my joy! Obviously of course I was not content at this point for I had 'kind of' conversed with Jewel and I wanted more. So I wished her a happy birthday for Friday. Jewel was a little embarrased and said "Thankyou" in a cute voice and then "You are beginning to scare me now" to which the audience laughed... I shut up then. The final song was, of course, Chime Bells. Raptuous applause followed, we all hoped there would be more, but alas there was'nt. I hung around with some Americans afterwards waiting to see if she would come out and autograph a few things. But I guess she was probably too tired and went straight back to the hotel. All in all it was a memorable experience. Such a lovely small venue and Jewel was magnificent - I shall certainly not forget it and I can't wait to see her again. - -- Aaron Cooper Out There, somewhere .. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 06:25:36 -0400 (EDT) From: GRooVe MoNTHLY Subject: Re: Regarding Lilith Fair in Atlanta Oh I was wondering if anyone knew the Lilith Fair tour dates over on the east coast besides Atlanta.

Let me add my "buenos" to the *Astra Kilcheria* birthday gift! It is now approaching 23/23, and while we all are sharing the idea of celebrating Jewel's birthday, I want to let everybody know that in honor of Jewel's birthday, I have purchased 2 tickets for James P. Kalanick to attend the July 9 LilithFair in Irvine, CA, to hear and see Jewel, and I have conspired with Igor for James to be escorted there. We hope to be able to arrange some special accommodation for James at the event, and, of course, his attendance is contingent upon how he is feeling that day. I hope that everyone who can be there comes to hear Jewel and to meet James; I'll let everyone know more details as the date approaches. Happy birthday, Jewel! Lovey'all! - -=-Larry-=- (<---new age kookybaka) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #378 ***************************
