I've successfuly viewed Patty live tonight at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon. I went prepared to be blown away, and I was. She's even cuter in person too!! I don't think she did anything besides FR tracks, and she finished her set with, of course, "One Big Love". Ahhhhh...[sigh!] Like you all told me, no t-shirts.: ( I was probably about 6 feet from the stage. Great band too!! Each song was flawlessly performed with occasional minor feedback, which is to be expected in a tiny club. I'm assuming most of the crowd was here for Sister Hazel, but I was there for Patty and Patty only!!! After the show, I said hello to the little drummer boy, and told him how great the show was. Next, I spoke briefly to the keyboardist, who introduced himself, and shook y hand. I always forget names immediately. ; - ( So...waiting and waiting by the bus...finally a guy who could possibly be the tour manager, slowed down as he walked by. He noticed my 2 copies of the Flaming Red disc and said "are you waiting to get something signed?" I replied, "yeah". He said "it's gonna be awhile". I said "that's fine...whenever she's ready!" So...moments later, he calls me over to the door near the bus and says "are bth of these for you?" I said "no, this one's mine and the other is for my girlfriend Angel who couldn't be here tonight." He took them both and said "I'll be right back". A minute or 2 later, he returned with both of them signed. I thanked him profusely, and went on my merry way. I really wanted to meet Patty and thank her for the music, the track on the Newton Brothers S.T., and to tell her that I'm on the "mad-mission", but I saw her play and have an autographed disc. : ) All in all a good (GREAT!) evening!!! Also, she was in the studio at KINK FM102 here in Portland today while I was at work. She talked and did "One Big Love", "Tony" too, I think. It's hard for me to just sit by the radio at work. Did anyone here in PDX record this? I'm going to try to contact the station and see if they'll hook me up with a copy. If so, I'd be more than happy to make copies for all interested. Sorry that was so long. I'm still pretty ecstatic. If you haven't seen her, and she's going to be in your town, skip the term paper and GO TO THE SHOW!!! Goodnight everyone. : ) : ) AddMmm ~ : ) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 11:03:05 EDT From: SunShiny16@aol.com Subject: MM: High school "I'm just curious - did those that had negative high school experiences attend public high school? I'm just wondering if negativity can be traced back to the type of school one attended - is this is a public vs. private type of thing?" Just a little reply...I'm the same person who wrote they loved high school, and I experienced both a public high school and a private boarding school. I had such a better experience at my private school, also taking in account that it was an EXTREMELY liberal arts school...but public school wasn't bad. I didn't dislike my school, that's not why I left, it was for other reasons, but public school didn't help me grow as a person. I mean there were times when I learned to ignore people cause some people are just idiots (like the kids that made fun of me freshmen year...) but my boarding school was where I grew immensely as a person. That's why I loved it so much...even though I had a hard year and had to leave people that mean more to me than life itself, I grew as a person and I'm thankful for that. Thanks!!

Small school too- 96 in my graduating class, and under 500 in the entire school. But our school was weird in other ways. We didn't have many sports teams, and for some reason music is big in our school system, so band was what the popular kids did. Believe it or not, the nerds were the cheerleaders and all the cool kids played instruments. 1/4 of the school was in the band. With that in mind, I don't think I had a rough time in high school. Well, I had the problems most high school kids have- depression and stuff like that. But none of it had to do with my popularity in high school. SInce I play french horn, I was always with the "cool" kids- not a choice I would have made, but it came in handy. I wasn't super popular, but I could talk to pretty much anyone. Actually, I hated a lot of people, so it made it easier if they hated me :). Lots of people were scared of me in high school too, which I think is really funny. I never got in trouble, but I was a loud mouth and I was known for speaking my mind- some of the teachers loved it because I would say things to kids thay they couldn't. Looking back I guess it was a very,very low grade of bullying... but I never threatened or harmed anyone, and I never hurt anyone. I was just... kind of obnoxious. Like I still am. Here's a fun high school story from me : when I was a junior, my best friend got a car. We had gym right around lunch time, and I was always trying to find creative ways to skip gym so I could go play on the computers. One day my gym class went for a walk to the center of town. I hid in a computer room for about 20 minutes, until my friend came in and asked if I wanted to go get some ice cream. We drove maybe a mile away to the ice cream place. Since it was such a short drive back, we didn't put on our seat belts. On our way through 1 of the 2 stop lights in our town, it turned yellow. We got pulled over a few blocks from our school. We were both holding ice cream cones, trying to explain why we weren't in school & didn't have seat belts on. Then, of course... my gym class walks by. My gym teacher pokes his head in the car and asks how the ice cream is, with a big grin on his face. The whole gym class was cracking up. So... along with a $100 ticket, I got caught for skipping and leaving school. It was pretty fun. == _-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_ Rachel D.

I was at work yesterday at good ol' WZOM/WONW and I happened to see the new Gavin magazine (radio trade publication) and flipped through it... in addition to a great article on the Detroit market scene, the AAA section had a brief but excellent review of Flaming Red (which is currently #3 on the AAA charts): - -- "One Big Love," Patty Griffin's top three AAA song, certainly isn't the last word here. Once the rest of the radio world gets word, they'll be spinning songs like "Tony" & "Christina" (among others) well into 1999. I know I frequently complain about albums lacking depth. Here's one of the few exceptions. - -- So the AAA experts like the album... hopefully the MDs/PDs around the country who flip through the AAA section take note! - -tim 'burkeman' "still no .sig file for the Patty list" - ---------------------------------------- "Being on the list gets you on the list" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 16:04:29 -0400 From: "Sara" Subject: MM: Re: ALICE radio station Hi!

It's probably just something close to the call letters that the station uses to make it easy to say and remember. On Wed, 15 Jul 1998, Sara wrote: > Hi!
