Just so a horde of ya don't go out and comb your cities looking for this, it's *not* a NEW Jewel item. This has been around for quite sometime and is quite rare. It's the first email I've seen on it sent to the list since 1996, I believe.

If this is a problem, I apologize. Please note that additional emails about this project sent in the coming days may also arrive to you in duplicates. Anyway, on to the fun stuff :-) OK folks! :-) As previously announced by MrBB, Jewel has agreed to answer from 10 to 20 questions submitted by members of this list. So, it's now the time to send in your question to Jewel :-) The panel, who will take all the submitted questions and narrow them down so the rest of us can vote for the "best 20" to send to Jewel has been chosen and notified :-) I chose 12 instead of the previously announced intent to choose 6. Now, it's time for you to do your part. Each of you is allowed to submit ONE question you'd like to ask Jewel :-) You MUST send them to ME at my address: ducksoup@spectra.net and please, you MUST have the subject of the email be 20Q All I want you to do is submit the question, and after the question include your first name, last name is not mandatory. (First name isn't mandatory either, but it would be nice if you could include it.) Each day I will submit all of the sent in questions to the panel, who will read them all, and narrow the questions down to 30 or 40 best ones. Those will then be sent to the Jewel lists either late Thursday evening, or sometime Friday, and you all will be able to vote for your favorites so we can send the best 20 on to Jewel, who will then answer 10 to 20 of them in messages which will be sent to this list via MrBB. Instructions on how to vote will be sent then (Friday), so please don't ask me about that now. However I will be able to answer other related questions, if time allows :-) Again, to submit a question for Jewel, send ONE and only one question to ME at ducksoup@spectra.net and PLEASE have only 20Q as the SUBJECT of your question. Please include your name after the question, and please only send a question, please don't add a lot of reasons you want it answered etc, the panel will have enough to read and to do as it is, as I expect up to 200 or more questions to be submitted. Remember, the whole mailing list will be eligible to vote for questions to be asked, so make them good ones!! It is likely the common questions she gets asked a lot and that are easily answered on many web sites won't make it past the panel for a vote. Mike :-) P.S. I will be sending to the loose mail version of the list some of each days' best questions. Feel free to comment on them to the Jewel@smoe.org list. ******** Below are some excerpts from MrBB's post from Friday that announced this project: First, THANK YOU AGAIN to all the EDAs who took the time to reply to Jewel's management with your thoughts on the recent Online Jewel Chats. Many more responded over the past few days & a very clear pattern was noted. "What would that pattern be?" you ask. Well... it's pretty obvious that most EDAs enjoyed the chats, but had two items of constructive criticism that were common. Those 2 items were: 1) With so many people online (& the AOL moderator asking far too many questions himself), few EDAs were able to even ask Jewel a question. 2) The questions asked of Jewel, were not that interesting to many EDAs who already knew most of the answers. Better & more interesting questions should have been asked. So.....Jewel would enjoy doing something special for the EDAs to address both of the above concerns. :-) Although, her website does not currently have chat technology, this is something they'll be working on for the future. Hopefully, "Special EDA-Invite only" chats will take place where a password sent out to the EDAs will let you participate sometime in the future. This is still a ways off & like I said, Jewel wants to address your Online Chat "feedback" & do something special for The EDAs NOW. So...Since she'll be wrapping up her movie in a few weeks & then heading back into the studio to record her new album, Jewel wants to take some time the week before the Jewelstock Anniversary (3rd weekend in July) to answer those burning EDA QUESTIONS. This experiment will work like this, for this 1st time around: The EDAs can come up with 20 questions that they, AS A GROUP deem the most important or interesting questions. I will forward the questions to Jewel. She'll pick 10 (or more if she has the time) & she'll answer 2 per day the weekdays prior to the 2nd Bearsville Reunion/Jewelstock Anniversary (July 17th through the 19th). The EDAs can ask Jewel ANY 20 questions. WHAT ARE those more intelligent, better questions you wished EDAs had been given the opportunity to ask? What is it that the EDAs really want to know? YOU (as a group) will decide with the help of a selected panel of volunteer EDAs who will deem which ones will become the "Official EDA Question" possibilities. This must be done cooperatively as a list community. Since Mike Connell, your trusty list manager, knows more people on the list than anyone, he is going to pick the six panelists from the group of EDA volunteers. By Sunday evening, the panel will be in place & ready for all EDAs to submit their ONE question to the panel. During this project next week, Mike will post some of the best questions each night to the Jewel lists (in one post) so all can see what's going on & read some of those incredibly intelligent questions. :-) The 6 member panel's job will be to take all the submitted questions and narrow them down to 30 to 40 questions, which will then be submitted to the Jewel lists for a vote. Details on this vote will be posted at THAT time, please do not ask questions about it now. (Personally, I think the coolest questions will simply rise to the top on general consensus.) I have every confidence that this CAN be done peacefully & cooperatively if you all calmly work together. That is crucial to the success of this experiment. So here's the 5 steps the EDAs will be accomplishing in the next week or so, hopefully. If there ever was an issue that deserved total focus of the lists, I would say, this is the one! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT JUST HIT REPLY TO ME. SEND YOUR IDEAS & INPUT TO YOUR FELLOW EDAS at Jewel@smoe.org ONLY!!!!! (Your actual questions to Jewel are to be submitted per instructions that will be posted early next week :-) This is an opportunity for The EDAs to let Jewel know what's most important/interesting to them. If you all come through & make this a cool experience for each other (& Jewel), she'll be more open to doing this again periodically & getting special EDA chats happening in the future. If I may interject one opinion (that you are free to consider or ignore) it would be to think carefully what you ask Jewel. What you ask reflects on all EDAs so I'd use this opportunity to get to know Jewel better & not waste it asking FOR things, such as Jewelstock2 or special favors. Of course, this is totally up to you all & I will forward whatever is deemed best by the EDAs. As most of you know, Jewel does appreciate the EDAs & to prove it, she's trying to give you both things that you asked for regarding the chats: 1) EDAs getting to ask some questions 2) Better/more intelligent questions Mike, will be sending on further instructions to the lists periodically. Remember to help him get this together. And above all, keep this FUN for everyone & be thoughtful of others during this project. OK? Jewel will answer. :-) MrBB ******** - - * If you are new to the Jewel list and need a helping hand, * The Jewel/EveryDay Angels List Homepage & Guide is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup * * If you have any list related questions, please feel free * to email me at ducksoup@spectra.net * or you can IM me on either of the AOL names below: * DuckOfPrey or WhyADuck55 on AOL or AOL Instant Messenger ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jun 1998 23:19:20 EDT From: GolfPnkGir@aol.com Subject: Re: ANWA CD review In a message dated 98-06-21 23:14:06 EDT, you write: << I'm not really agreeing w/ this at all but I have to say I was a little disappointed at how monotone the cd version is.
