[Last updated on: Sun Apr 25 17:01:02 1999] WELCOME TO LILITH-FAIR-FANS Yes, this file is long. BECAUSE IT CONTAINS MUCH INFORMATION. Please save this file, and please take a read through it. Many questions you have may be answered in this file. This file is broken into three parts: A. List guidelines B. Majordomo instructions (unsubscribing, getting archives, etc.) C. Fair info (venues, dates, articles, etc.) At the end of the message are a few paragraphs concerning problems people have unsubscribing. A. LIST GUIDELINES Lilith-fair-fans is dedicated to news, discussion and various arrangements concerning Lilith Fair '99. Valid list topics: Venue information Ticket prices Directions Plans to meet at Lilith Fairs Vendors Reviews of Lilith Fairs Discussion concerning Lilith Fair Questions concerning any of the above Examples: feel free to post to lilith-fair-fans questions about when tickets go on sale for different venues, seating at those venues, directions to get to different venues, arrangements to meet at concerts (however, please keep messages posted to the list to "anyone who wants to meet at X please email me, rather than each person working out their arrangements through the list). Also, feel free to discuss Lilith Fair, post reviews, etc. Also, if you are not familiar with a particular act, feel free to write in asking about them. Which brings us to... Not to be posted to the list: Slams against particular Lilith Fair artists. I can point out people scheduled for different fairs that I don't like, but I'm not going to do it. I ask that no one lese do it either. This just isn't the place to insult acts that are performing at Lilith Fair--whatever act or artist you slam will have fans on the list, and I don't want battles going back and forth about who sucks and who doesn't. Aside from this, I'm tossing off any topic limitation on the list. Talk about Lilith Fair, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, whatever. Since this is the last Lilith Fair, I don't know what is going to happen to this list at the end of the summer. If it has a good volume of non-Lilith logistics posts going on, then the list can stay as a permanent community. If that doesn't happen, I can have the list deleted as no longer needed. So, it is up to you, the subscribers. Make you want of the list, and we'll see what happens. Also, please note that the idea behind this list is to divert to one list posts that otherwise would be crossposted to many different lists, or take up major traffic on all the different artist lists. So please post your info and questions to lilith-fair-fans rather than each individual lists, and when people on other lists ask questions please refer them to lilith-fair-fans. Rather than having people one person asking for directions to Camden, NJ on fte, while another asks the same question on harbinger, while another asks the same questions on small repairs, while another...let's just have one person ask on lilith-fair-fans and then everyone will have the answer!! I'm not subscribed to all the various lists, so if you have not seen lilith-fair-fans announced on a list, please feel free to do so. Just include in your message that people can sub by mailing majordomo@smoe.org with the command: subscribe lilith-fair-fans -or- subscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at jgreshes@netaxs.com Jason B. MAJORDOMO INSTRUCTIONS All list administration matters go to majordomo@smoe.org, *not* to any of the list addresses.

SUBSCRIBING To subscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: subscribe lilith-fair-fans -or- subscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest Majordomo runs digest by making the digest a separate list with separate subscriber files.
