As an aside, Asheville seems to be a really neat town - it was my first visit there, and I really enjoyed it. Apparently, Patty and the ensemble were equally taken by Asheville - early on in the show she commented that we (well, not me, the Ashvilleians in the audience) needed to be careful about having such great weather because everyone would want to move there. She said that she and all the band members were thinking, "You know, I think we could make it work here" after their day in Asheville. Then Doug leaned over and said something to Patty and she added that Doug had found a real estate agent already. I was expecting it to be similar to Charlottesville in terms of town feel, but it was strikingly different (Charlottesville has the traditional 18th century colonial feel to it, but Asheville's architecture is more varied - a lot of the buildings are art deco in style [I took lots of photos which I could potentially post on pattygriffin.net, but they are not Patty photos just Asheville photos, so might not be of interest to anyone]). The Diana Wortham theater was very nice: great intimate theater-style venue (300 seats or so) with a balcony, great acoustics, and great sightlines. I was rather surprised that there were many empty seats, however. The audience was warm and appreciative throughout (of Patty, not me, but I'm sure they would have liked me as well had they all met me). Speaking of meetings, while sitting in our seats before the show (with the house lights up), I spotted, across the aisle, a pair of black boots with red flames around the edges! I approached, and indeed, it was the famous Don. I must say he is a lot taller in person than I had envisioned from his emails (perhaps it's the boots). We discussed Asheville architecture, the movie The King of Comedy (came up in the context of Patty's road manager fearing that Don was a stalker), and Patty, of course. The show was great (my second Patty show - saw her in Charlottesville last summer). Based on the Keswick reviews, the Asheville set seemed similar (opened with Chief [a little glitch at the beginning where her vocals were only running through her monitor but not the house speakers], Racing in the Streets in place of Ruby's Arms, no Nobody's Crying [would that be Somebody's Crying?]). Unlike the Keswick show, she did Top of the World in place of Mary. Highlights for me were numerous: Making Pies, Racing in the Streets, Tony, Flaming Red, Top of the World, Mil Besos, and Sweet Lorraine stand out. Finally, there was the whole Bubble Incident. Early in the show, someone in the audience started blowing little soap bubbles around the theater. After the song, Patty commented on the bubbles and related a story about recently watching an episode of the Osborne's (Ozzy Osbourne's TV series, apparently) on the tour bus, and how his wife had arranged for a bubble machine for his concerts. Then in her best British accent she said that he replied with - "Bubbles? I can't have bubbles! I'm the Prince of Darkness!" then said that her shows were a better bubble setting. Later in the show, before doing Mil Besos, she specifically requested the bubbles, and during the song, the theater was filled with them. - Andy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 May 2002 09:04:36 -0700 From: "Scheiner, Andy" Subject: MM: RE: 5/5 Asheville Show > Highlights for me > were numerous: Making Pies, Racing in the Streets, Tony, > Flaming Red, Top of the World, Mil Besos, and Sweet Lorraine > stand out. And Florida! Forgot about Florida, but that was one of the highlights of the show, as well. - Andy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 07 May 2002 11:15:24 -0500 From: "Cristina Minter" Subject: MM: Patty in Playboy Hey everyone, If this has been pointed out already, then I'm sorry for the duplicate post: The June 2002 issue of Playboy has a brief glowing review of 1000 Kisses. For any of you out there too "embarrassed" to buy it, here goes: "If adults want rock written for them, all they need to do is listen to Patty Griffin. She's better known as a songwriter than as a singer, but "1000 Kisses" (ATO) might change that. Her bluesy voice and brilliant phrasing on Lonnie Johnson's "Tomorrow Night" and Springsteen's "Stolen Car" are powerful, but it's the original songs that will grip you." This is accompanied by a color picture of the album cover. They also include the album in their "Rock Meter," which is a snapshot of 5 critic's opinions of 5 albums on a scale of 1-10. Patty's ranks 6, 8, 5, 9, 8 respectively. See, even Playboy has a sensitive side... - -Cristina _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 May 2002 13:02:02 -0500 From: "Jessica Boyer" Subject: MM: it's patty day for me! hey out there, anyone going to the show at the Belcourt tonight want to meet up?

I think that is the place, that is. But when I went over there, I couldn't find the article. It had been listed in a previous mailing list, but we get SO many of them, ya know? I printed the article, but now want a friend in Italy to read it. PLEASE, someone, dig up that website address.

Steven Svoboda" Subject: MM: Seeking Patty Traders I am seeking people interested in trading Patty CD's and videos. I am particularly looking for her unreleased album submitted after Flaming Red (don't remember the title) and for video of her television appearances. But anything Patty would interest me for a trade. Thanks.

I'm new around here, although I have friends here that have been telling me about this list for several years now! Saw Patty at the Cactus Cafe for the first time about 5 years ago and have been addicted ever since! I am a singer/songwriter as well, and when we were writing for our first CD, "Flaming Red" was what really inspired me to want to write like crazy. I'm in the midst of writing for our second now, and the same is true for "1000 Kisses"... Patty just sparks creativity. That's so freaking cool! I love how Patty has overcome all the record label funk and managed to still make amazing music. 1000 Kisses is a beautiful record and it just shows that she has not allowed all the crap to squelch her creativity. Not many artists can do that. I have a question though... I was browsing around KaZaA the other day and came across a double CD of Patty called "Love From My Lips". It looks like it's all rare unreleased stuff. The only song I recognized was "Long Ride Home"... and none of it is stuff from "Silver Bell" either. What is this? I'm dying to know... Anyway, glad to have found ya'll! Peace, Sarah ...................
