Dunn" Subject: Slean in Indie Nation I got this from my friend Rannie, who, although not on the list, was very persuasive in attempting to get me to go to the Sarah show in Kitchener a few weeks ago. (Unfortunately I had to study, so I didn't end up going.) Sarah's been mentioned before in Indie Nation, but I (horror of horrors) threw away the issue. :-( - - Julian >Date: Tue, 1 Dec 1998 02:05:38 -0500 >To: "Julian C.
