There were 17 of us in all (including our kids, Andrew's sister and M&L's son Phil). When we arrived on Sunday morning everyone else (who have been sleeping all over Mike and Lynne's house) was nursing a huge hangover - some more than others (I shall mention no names - ZOE!). And the kids soon made them feel worse! It's great how so many Del Amitri fans can get together and get on so well. And even the rain didn't spoil the fun. Even though most of us had met before, it was great to meet George for North Wales and Dean and Debs' daughter Victoria for the first time. Hopefully, Eddie and I shall be hosting the 3rd Annual Del Fans get together here in Bracknell some time in August (possibly Bank Holiday weekend) - and anyone on this list is invited. If you want to come along and meet us all please let me know and I'll make sure I send details when we know them! If you want to see us all at Mike and Lynne's though - take a peek at: www.btinternet.com/~miklyn/webcam.htm Cheers Jane ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:56:29 +0100 From: "Jane Armstrong" Subject: OV: Re: End Of An Era That's such a shame! The Dels have often said it's their favourite venue - and they all said that the best gig of the 98 tour was at the Leeds Town and Country. I was looking forward to paying it a visit during the next tour. It's so sad when these venues close. Jane (still mourning the Rainbow, and the Hammersmith Odeon!) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Jul 2000 16:37:31 -0400 From: "Susan & C.

I was flipping channels last night and ran across a show called "MTV F* UPS"... sort of the bloopers of MTV. I tuned in the last 30 mins of it. In one segment they showed band members swearing on camera. I was looking down and hear this "bleeeepp, can I say that on Mtv??" in a well known accented voice. I look up and who do I see? Iain and Justin! It was a *really* short cameo, but if you have the chance to watch it, check it out for your Justin and Iain fill.. especially since it's been so long since we have seen them in the states!

Thanks for the tip - I shall look out in case it's on the European MTV! And it's been even longer since they were last in England :-( 30 May last year in fact. Before the two US gigs. Though we DID get them in Scotland over the New Year. Jane (even more in need of a Dels fix since the weekend with my Delamigos!) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 00:50:29 -0700 From: "Kristy McDonald" Subject: OV: Do you all HATE Me?? Okay, I get that I like POP music and I also get that a lot of you don't like what I do, but I'm tired of the Kristy-bashing in reply to my last post about Hanson. True - they may have backing musiscians that do a lot of the work and they may not be as talented as I may think they are, but I like it. So what? The CD still rocks. I just got back from a two week vacation chomping at the bit to read posts I may have missed. Now my enthusiasm is GONE! K in C And a note to Nigel . . . Did you take a nasty pill on purpose? Oh, that's right. Canadaians can laugh at themselves a la the BNL. It's a good thing I had a few mai-tais before I left paradise or I might really be mad. ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V2 #52 *********************************
