It went by real fast. It was just one poem that she read and it was really great. The words and stuff floated to the screen as she recited the words. It was excellent, be prepared for the rest of the week! :) jacob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Jan 1998 00:11:44 -0800 From: dijewe1@juno.com (Diana Ruiz) Subject: SJC: Albums Can somebody help me with this question? Okay, I was just watching my recordings of the Jewel stuff I have and I was watching a show called "Spotlight." They were showing the video to YWMFM and when it was over, you know how they always say: Jewel YWMFM from the album POY Atlantic records Something like that. Well, On this show, they put: Jewel YWMFM >From the album "JEWEL" atlantic records What's up with that??!!! And Another thing about albums, I was listing to the radio a long time ago (don't know why I didn't mention it then) and after they played YWMFM they said, "Look out for her next album called "I though I Saw You last Night" Is that true? If it is, how come Steve Poltz has it on his album? Please let me know. {\O/} /_\ Diana an EDA FOREVER!!

Hey Angels, I'm a new member and I'm just wondering if there are any canadian EDAs from BC that live on Vancouver Island? i live in central Vancouver Island (Comox Valley). email me: studlywoman91@hotmail.com -Danica the morning star Angel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 01:00:24 EDT From: Leftychic@aol.com Subject: NJC: Bearsville '98 well, I guess it's time I get my butt in gear, and let you all know about our weekend! I figured I'd wait a while, 'cuz everyone else was going to flood the list with posts about the weekend, but, I guess everyone else is lazy, and procrastinates just as much as I do (that's so comforting)! well, I know that I was getting nervous, waiting all day long for Tom and the Gang to pull up at my house and whisk me away for an enjoyable weekend (all the while, trying to get my house ready for a surprise party for my best friend, scheduled for Sunday night, when we got back). I must have called back and forth between Eric and Kate about 100 times. and then, it turns out we'd be delayed. anyway, Eric came and got me, and we waited at his house 'til "The Van" got there. then, we were on our way to pick up Steve: a new EDA to my eyes. I'd known him on the list, and talked to him many times on- line, but, it was finally nice to put a hug to a name! then, off to pick up John and Abel. I thought we'd never get to Bearsville, but, then we stopped at McDonald's. I don't know how much I enjoyed myself there, but, everyone else had a GREAT time trying to make me eat fries --which I have a fear of after working at a McDonald's for 3 years. They kept throwing them at me, I think one got in my eye. . .anyway. . .I didn't partake in that feast, and decided to snack on what was in my cooler. to my surprise, my cooler was on the bottom. . .oh well, I wasn't really THAT hungry! okay, so it took us forever, then, we finally got to Steve's campsite, and recognized some familiar EDAs hanging out at the bathroom. so, we were basically bombarded with hugs. how nice! though, I thoroughly enjoyed our ride there, it was nice to leave the van! I'd like to thank John for being hospitable, and lending me a spot in his tent. though I stayed up for a while, on the picnic table, and caught 3 shooting stars. then, I was off to bed...leaving Erica (aka the Weiner Girl) to man the picnic table. well, I had a super-duper cool time with the rest of the Van-ers that took a trip into town (well, and we had to pick up Pete too). and, I hope we ALL get a chance to watch Tammy's video (I REALLY hope she got a good shot of me while everyone distracted me, and caused me to fall into the RIVER!!!) and thanks SO much for trying to be considerate of my vegan-ness (that's too sweet, I hate being a pain). so, I got a nice salad while everyone feasted on pizza! then, the ever-popular lazer tag. I don't really remember who won, but, I have a few notions of who was CHEATING!!! but, that's all in the past. I must say I had a good time, but, I was a little disheartened to see THAT many EDAs want to shoot me dead! I did though, find some time to hide from the warfare, and sneak (slide) down to the water, and hang out with Kate, and play some tunes down in the water, sitting on a rock. that was cool. . .until the mosquitos ATE ME ALIVE!! Saturday night, I had an unforgettable time, playing the guitar and singing around the campfire with what started as a small crowd, and turned into a mob of Angels. . .well, the EDAs and my newest friend on the weekend, Scottie, a young gentleman from San Diego (who wandered onto our site, attracted by the music -- he also claimed that his friend dated Jewel? met her on the Beach or something?) oh, and we did the tape grab bag. and I'm very happy (thank you Laura) with the tape I got!! then, a few of us wandered off to look at the stars. beautiful. no words can describe it. I think we all could have stayed out there all night, except it was SO incredibly cold (and Steve was wearing shorts!!). so, we ventured, back to the campsite -- attracted to the heat of the fire. which both of them were dying down, wood was rare, and a few EDAs resorted to burning beer boxes and STEALING firewood from each other! well, the fire wasn't working, so, I grabbed my sleeping bag, and settled down by the fire, with some other die-hard EDAs. but, I was so wrapped up in the warmth, that I kept falling asleep. so I didn't fight it anymore. and finally went into the tent. then, many of us woke up bright and early Sunday morning, to head back home. of course, we HAD to take a group photo. Dennis volunteered to take everyone's cameras. . .so, we sat in our poses for a good 15 minutes. and almost got ALL the EDAs in!! well, we had a few sleepy-head campers running in at the last minute (KATE, TOM) Then, back in the van, minus Tom, and Eric, plus Pete. What a relief, I was the first one to get dropped off. oh, but, I almost forgot to mention the little excursion at the gas station with the rolling weenies (I can't believe Tom and Abel both ate gas station rolling weenies!!). okay, then, I got, probably the BEST back massage that I've EVER gotten in my entire life, from the ONE and ONLY Steve Messina! I love you, Steve!! then, when we pulled up, my parents invited everyone to stay for lunch. free burgers and weenies? what EDA couldn't pass that up. however, my mom was also prepared (because she's lived with me too long) to accomodate any vegetarian-EDAs. though, none are full-fledged, Kate and Steve did sport some BBQed garden burgers. and after everyone met all of our pets (Buffy, Pete, Kit, Lucky, Miss Kitty, and Artemis--Pete's favorite, my iguana. . .oh, nobody met Penelope, my sister's hamster) they were all off on the van, and I directed them in the direction of the Goethels Bridge, I got my hugs goodbye. . . Thus ends Bearsville '98 for this angel. . . Love Always!

Yes, they have begun on VH1 but apparently have not begun on MTV as we were told they would. So........the good news is that you don't need two VCRs on 2 different cable channels. The bad news is that we haven't a clue what happenned with the MTV spots. For those confused, heres the deal on these spots: On May 19th, Jewel went into MTV studios & recorded 10 "poetry spots" to be broadcast at a later date. On May 20th, she did the same thing at VH1 studios. So until we hear anything else, tune in each night (or program your VCR) at midnight EST to VH1 for Jewel's poetry spots. THOSE are definately running. MrBB ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 08:06:15 -0400 From: lklecanda@juno.com (Lisa A Klecanda) Subject: What about the fan club? I've noticed that no one is talking about the possibility of a fan club anymore, especially since MTV & Oprah. It seems like we've abandoned the idea. If there is still any interest, I hope we can put something together soon! Let's put our heads together & come up with something!

It was AWESOME, Even though it was only for like 2 seconds. It was still the best. I taped it and i watch it over and over. The poem was GREAT too. I like how the words popped up in the backround. That was pretty cool. I loved it. Oh and i liked her outfit too. Hope you guys saw it. Hey, are there gonna be anymore?

I know if I'd be living in the States I'd definitely be there but what can you do... life just sucks sometimes... but nough bout that! Chris that was such a great idea... i can just picture in my mind all the things you described... and I bet i still only have just a slight idea of how fun it was cause i wasn't there... still Chris if you find more time please - I know I'm not the only one who'd love to read your full account on the event! Before your post I was sure we were going to hear from Dennis Harris or even The Great Puddini herself who just have the most hilarious way of putting things... and I guess it's obvious why Dennis hasn't said anything after he'd already declared their team the winners... however with Erica seems like there's a lot to brag about! Oh c'mon people I envy you so much (yes it's a sin... sue me!!!) so please share all the stories from all the points of view! - -- Have fun and stay beautiful Dr. RomeAntic, an angel with the worst stroke of luck "I could be your see of sand, I could be your warmth of desire I could be your prayer of hope, I could be your gift of every day I could be your tide oh heaven, I could be a hint of what's to come I could be your ordinary, I could be the one I could be your blue eyed angel, I could be the storm before the calm I could be your secret plesure, I could be your well-wishing well I could be your breath of life, I could be your European dream I could be your ordinary, I could be the one" Donna Lewis / I Could Be The One / Blue Angel Catch Dr. RomeAntic's cyber image @ http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/2009 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 06:53:20 PDT From: "Hoochie Koochie" Subject: Re: Jewel in MAD <<... actually I think it was pretty ignorant of them... not just as a Jewel fan, but as someone who's heard more than just Foolish Games (which, considering the above, I'd be surprised to find was true of the writer of that particular piece of satire). It's like... she's made conscientious statements and she's from Alaska, so we'll put her in a Greenpeace shirt... she's written sad songs, so she's suicidal.... she's a woman, so she hates men... come on! Satire's bite suffers when it's not based on a keen insight...>> Keen insight? We're talking MAD Magazine here... Okay, yes, I agree. Stereotypes suck. It fosters ignorance and prejudices. However, in this example, we have to look at the forum in which it was presented. MAD Magazine. This is not a piece of journalistic greatness. It is a bathroom-humor comic book. It supposed to make people laugh ... not in an intelligent humor, 'oh-I-catch-your-jest' kind of way. It's based on the humor of catching someone picking their nose. *Hu-hu-hu .. dude, he was, like, pickin' his nose. Hu-hu-hu* It goes for the lowest common denominator. Most people are not Uber-Jewel Fans and would not pick up on a joke based on the little known nuances of her life. And then the publishers would be missing the point of their magazine because the average person would be like 'Huh? Wha' de heck are dey talkin' 'bout?' and they'd skip over that part to read the spoof on 90210 vs. Dawson's Creek. So .. I guess my rambling, incoherent point is ... Who cares if Jewel's stereotype was spoofed in MAD? It's not like people are going to take what they say seriously anyway. (Well, maybe a few people but I think they are the same folks that think they're going into a neighborhood of mentally challenged kids when they see a sign saying 'Slow Children'.) Anyway, peace out! Hooch-Kooch ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 10:19:58 -0400 From: shallowend1@juno.com (john j hickey) Subject: NJC: Bearsville '98 Well lets see, Bearsville '98 started out with me picking up Abel and then waiting about 7 hours for the party van to get to my place. It finnally arrived at about 7:30 and we were on our way. Got there about midnight we did'nt even make it to the campsite before we were mobbed with people, EDA's are so damn friendly. Then me, Eric, Rob and Rich set up my tent, I think my tent is a close second to the Cambells for largest tent. Then I spent the rest of the night meeting new people and catching up with old friends. It was light out when I finally went to sleep. The next day woke up, ate 2 cookies for breakfast, sat around and talked more. Then it was back into the party van for a trip to the theater where Jewelstock was. we hung out there for awhile, threw rocks in the river, watched Kelly fall in the river (dont worry Tammy got it on video for all to see). Then it was off to pick up Pete at the bus station, and visit woodstock. We spent about an hour waiting for Pete and eating lunch. Then back to the campground for Lazer Wars. It was scarry how seriously some of us took this game. Alot of fun running through the woods shooting at people. I hope Bill is feeling better, and Rich gets the award for best fall this year. Well my team won and I ended up winning the Terminator award (thanks to whoever voted for that). Then we built a fire sat and listend to Kelly for awhile (she's really good, and you guys maybe hearing alot more of her soon). Then me Kelly, Steve, and Lauren wandered off to watch the stars, we layed there for a few hours watching the stars and talking. I missed the Harris's drive in (kind of pissed cause he showed a film that I really wanted to see). Then we sat around the fire untill at some point in the night I finally wandered into my tent and went to sleep. The next morning it was time for the group photo and then the party van had to depart early. We missed out on Dinner Dinner Dinner this year. It was a great weekend the only let down was that not as many people showed up this year as last year. If you've never been to a gathering just show up, we're really friendly. Well this has gotten kind of long so I'll just end it here.

[marilyn monroe for example]) - and the other half think she is a bubble-head that is so happy and care-free she can't be in touch with reality. even a half-assed look could tell you neither are true - but how can so many people think such opposite things about her? (and how did they get their jobs?) on the flip side - i realize they have a right to say whatever they want - yadda yadda - i'm just exorcising my right to say the critics look stupid when they agree she's cliche but pick opposite stereo-types to label her under. or something /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the fight to improve our world continues evolutionary "angel" free fallin phyre /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #414 ***************************
