Giving money to her would probably totally freak her out, but hey, me being in her generasl vicinity does that anyway ;) Could just send it to her. Personally, I went with buying albums for people and bringing them along to concerts, and making other people buy her CD's too ;) On a random note, anyone here know what the person at the Bush Hall concert gave Patty? Was from Liberty, in a big bag and probably expensive!

Best reasons to cross the bridge for a show Bruce Springsteen once sung about the allure of "crossing the river to the Jersey side." When it comes to concerts, there is a good reason (besides the E-Centre) to do so: Collingswood's lavish, Art Deco thousand-seater Scottish Rite Auditorium. The Scottish Rite's jaw-dropping interior and sound system in South Jersey is proving itself worth the trip. - Patty Griffin January 25th, 2003! Be there or be square! Those in the know will be drinking with Evil before the show, at an establishment to be named after the appropriate research is completed. PS, hey Don , if that hot little minky Karla can't put you up, let me know. I'm moving to a new house and should have room for ya.

I especially like having Eliza's opening set included, since I have really gotten into her stuff after seeing her open 3 times this summer. I am a branch on the tree, with 13 leaves. I have only heard from 7 of them, and have only received blanks/trades from 3. If any of you out there are my leaves, get in touch with me if you still want your copies. I am NOT busy with holiday stuff, so I can make your discs as soon as they get to me. Later...Rob _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 15:02:06 -0500 From: "Sarah Stanley" Subject: Re: MM: The Gem I would like to know as well! :) All branch copies were sent out a while ago now and hopefully the leaves are contacting their branches to get their copies! It'd make a lovely holiday gift! :) Hope all is well with everyone!
