She's featured on the cover ( small photo ) , with " Top Performer " just below the photo . In their " Top of the Charts " section ( p. 104 ) , there's a caricature of Jewel strumming her guitar , and the blurb -- headlined " Top Concert Act - JEWEL " -- says ... " Whether or not the folk-rock star makes it on the big screen , she certainly is a Web hit . On August 23 , Jewel became Broadcast.com's most-watched single-performer act .

I was lucky enough to get tickets to "The View" on December 22 - which I'm sure most of you know is the day Jewel will be on. I'm going with my husband and we have 2 extra tickets that we will trade for something Jewel related. It is taped in NYC and you need to be there by 9am. It is over approx 12:30. According to their criteria you have to be over 18 and they check ID. If you can go, please email me with your name, age, where you live and what you would trade for the tix. Take care, Beth & David ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 01:52:01 -0600 From: burleson@cillnet.com (Edie Burleson) Subject: * Jewel: A Life Uncommon, and some questions. :P HiHi to all thee wonderful EDA'S out there. :) Well I dont post much, but I thought I would tonight, because you all are so blessed w/reading my boredom. hehe :) Anyways..I got thee Jewel video tonight, and I think its amazing. I love all the old stuff in the bars and the stuff w/Steve. I definately think that Jewel needs to record that song she was singing w/Steve on the tour bus (it was so cute how she was playin the guitar, while he was strumming it), and they definately need to finish that song he played by himself. As I was watching the video I could remember the time I saw Jewel on Conan/ and Jay Leno..I regret now not taping those! ugh. Anyone who doesnt own it..go out and get it, or ask for it for christmas! hehe :) Okay..a couple questions: 1. Were there any EDA's in the audiences for her small gigs on the video? 2. I wanna know some stories behind Steve Poltz songs..if you know any please email me :) Ok..enough of everyones time.

Subject: * Re: Donations Hi Angels Ive been reading these post of why is the donation totals higher. this is making me sad to know that not all of you have donated. I for one am going to Japan for a month and it is very expensive to live there. So I only donated $10 which is a lot more then any of you donated. So I am going to make a second donation of maybe $20. And I dont want those of you who did not donate to figure that this will make up for the loss of you lack of funds. So hopefully this will inspire you to make a donation. Out of the 3000 edas that could have made a $1 donation to make only $3000 think how much would be raised if every body made that size donation. now Im probly not the going to be the only one who has made a large donation. But if every body made the donation of $5 the world could be a better place. And if I could I would donate more. hmm Maybe I will. hope you make your donations soon. Love Aron ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 18:45:31 -0500 (EST) From: Lori A Bonari <7lab2@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: Re: *Since Eric Asked... Happy Saturday, all! My two cents might not be wanted on this issue--but I have to contribute them anyway.. Brace yourself.. I like to blab, so this will be long.. First of all--I think we should be optimistic and pleased with the project success--just because not every last one out of 3000 dipped into their pockets to contribute, doesn't mean it was a *failure*.. Eric invited feed back from everyone who couldn't contribute, so here's mine (hey..he *asked* for it, so I thought I'd share). He said he wanted to hear from everyone that didn't participate, personally..so here we go: For 1-- some of us are students at university strapped for cash. And *yes* when you have rent, utility bills and expenses and have already hiked out tons on tuition, books and course fees, it *is* hard to spare the extra $5 that you could put towards not being evicted...especially when your student status prevents you from getting over minimum wage at your job. Plus--it is the holiday season; do you know how many other expenses there are, at this time? And yes, that includes the cost of travelling home to see your family that you've been away from all year... For Eric to accuse anyone of being selfish is insanely naieve--you don't *know* certain peoples' circumstances--many of us would probably love to give spare change, but that's hardly possible when you're already head to toe in bills, and have other things to tend to. Yes, sometimes people do need their last dollar.... And Eric, it's *wonderful* that you are so dedicated to this cause--but are you doing it so that you can play holier than thou and condemn those of us that maybe can't afford to donate??? If those are your reasons, than that makes you *no* better than anyone who hasn't been able to contribute. I'm not about to label you selfish for not shelling out $5 to any of the charities I've supported in the past.... and is it really selfish to want to save the last few bucks in your bank account to support yourself? I think, if you want to rally for more EDA involvement in this cause--you're not going about it in the right way. Calling people "selfish" or inspiring a guilt complex isn't the way to go: if I were you I'd assume that anyone who didn't contribute had their reasons for not doing so--and leave it at that. I doubt anyone is sitting around thinking "hehehe...I got out of donating...yay! NO one seemed to notice"...give us a *little* credit here... By dwelling on the fact that some of us didn't participate, you only make us feel horrible about our respective situations... some of us would *like* to give--but we aren't living in a happy utopia where our wallets are all full of extra cash .. Obviously you're financially stable--and that's *great*, but hey.. some people aren't--so don't assume we all live in your shoes. I know you're not asking for a lot--just a spare dollar or two, but here's a reality check: yes, there are some people already massively in debt, that can't even afford that. Just because maybe some people are too young/too involved in other things/too poor to donate, doesn't mean we aren't proud of all those that did, and doesn't mean we don't indirectly support this cause. I think that if people had surplus funds--it wouldn't be an issue...but come on, if someone can't afford even a few dollars for this cause... you shouldn't be trying to promote a guilt complex over it. Think about it: is that what jewel would want you doing-- condemning those that can't maybe share in the project?? Every little bit counts... some involvement is better than none whatsoever... right? Smile..be happy...be proud of what funds you guys have raised... Anyway... no hate mail please.. I just have to defend those that haven't been actively involved in the project. We do have our reasons... I'm sure there are other equally as valid reasons that other people haven't contributed, as well. And *congrats* to all that did get involved--you're all wonderful, and i'm sure those of us that couldn't spare funds are proud of you =) Lori ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 22:24:38 -0500 (EST) From: Jodi Lynn Damon Subject: * Attention all procrastinators Hi. I've been reading all the disscussions about the donations and nobody pointed out the reason why I (and I'm sure many others) didn't donate. PROCRASTIONATION! I am a college student who just finished my exams and had to move back home for winter break. I have been very busy and did not find the time to sit down and write a check until today. Anyway, I finally did and I am so glad. I hope it is not too late to get my name on the card, but the more important thing is just to donate the money. So everyone out there who has been putting it off, please take five minutes to make a donation. I believe this is a very good cause and will make Jewel's Christmas very special. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 00:04:42 -0600 From: "Eric L." Subject: * Re: Where is the MONEY? I posted the message you are refering to and my stance on the matter has changed little, despite some attempts at making me feel foolish for my views. In my opinion, any positive, optimistic, or grateful ideas expressed in the card will be in direct contrast to the amount of funds raised or the number of names on the card. But instead of everyone explaining their reason for not donating, I think I would rather hear your thoughts on what Jewel's reaction to this project might be once it's delivered to her. Will she be happy that at least a few EDAs donated, or will she be disapointed that the majority didn't? As you can probably imagine, I'm guessing the latter.

I think this HGH donation thing is a great idea and I have donated cause its the holiday season and all but when you Donate or help out your not doing it for yourself ... yes its great to be appreciated but if your a volunteer. Most of the time you don't. I am a senior in HS and i have been a big part of our Key Club since i was a freshman..im secretary this year and i have had experience being a volunteer..at countless events..and sometimes volunteering doesn't mean doing great world changing things..it could mean going down your neighborhood street with a trash bag and picking up litter...or going to the children's unit of your local hospital with coloring books and a smile and willing to lend a helping hand or something so simple as dropping a dollar in the salvation army bucket at the mall everytime you go Christmas shopping. so even if you didn't get to donate to HGH this Christmas there are so many things you can do that are virtually priceless...sure you may not get your name on a Christmas card but hey ..at least you know you are doing something good :) ohh and By the way if any Key Clubbers are reading this I would love to hear from ya!....catch yall laterz and don't let the hustle & bustle of the season get you down :) ` The redstick indigo Angel ` ~Wes~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 01:14:12 EST From: EVMsRed@aol.com Subject: * going back to the different donation ok, i've been reading people's posts about donations, and, yes, i too am young, and can't really donate money right now. BUT -- i think that one thing that i do (i'm 17) that is a different way of giving back to jewel is my volunteer work. last summer, i had to miss jewel's concert here in dallas because i was volunteering my time for a week building a house for habitat for humanity. i felt so bad that i had to miss her concert, because i really don't know when i'll get another chance to see her live, but i was giving someone else their dream. earlier before all this money talk was going on, people on the list were talking about giving back to jewel not with money, but with time. there are simple little things that everyone can do, whether they're 30, or 13..... i've been doing various volunteer work since i was 11. the ronald mcdonald house always needs volunteers -- even if it's just baking a batch of cookies. habitat for humanity builds at least 20 homes every year in fort worth (where i live). there are things that everyone can do. i know that people are busy (i'm one of them), but to me, time is a much more precious gift than all the money in the world. anyone can give a quarter to the salvation army -- but it takes a person who really cares to give up their weekend, or their entire summer (even a jewel concert) just to help someone else. something to think about. emily "the wailing angel" p.s. -- i had an american sign language party last night, and we signed the entire joy album! it was great! ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #725 ***************************
