Lyons" Subject: Tongues, Lyrics and Lounge Parties.... Dateline: April 4, 1998 Party w/Markus and the absent Jason-who-doesn't-like-the-rockford-files. Man, I wish I could go, but alas! I have tix to opening day @ Comiskey Park on April 6, and I am just 2 damn old to be running all over the continental U.S. to attend parties. Of course, I could start the Markus thread of old-ConBENtion-day....."If you send me $$$ to finance the trip, I can go." Of course, it would be an investment, as I would take pictures and notes and be submitting the article to 'Gaycrackhead Zine.' Really though, next time, yes. You understand with baby coming and all. Also.....who would do my paper route? "I must deliver the paper!" Nothing like waking up to a some sort of poem and song on the Files.... Was that from 'Titanic?' I remember that whole thread about 'the day would come when BF5 is playing in arenas and stadiums...' The day has arrived. It still freaks me out thinking about it. Oh well. Time to go underground again. Hand me my nosering...... Jon, the buttons from the ConBENtion were designed and made by me. I am currently waiting for a new shipment to put some more together. I need to work on a new theme button. Does anybody see the similarities in the rise of the Folds compared with 'ol Hootie? BTW, Hootie is back pounding the club scene working out some new matierial for a new album. So look for them in your town soon. Except Hootie played at our State Fair and Ben hasn't been to town yet. Wallflowers have been here also, as have STP (before the breakup). So, why not BF5 @ our fair in August? Before the show, the guys could do some cow chip tossing (or dwarf tossing, which is legal only for the duration of the fair). Let me rock ya Chaka Chan...that's all I wanna do..... - -FL, who not only uses his tongue when speaking, but for *other* things when NOT talking...= PpPp Speaking of which, WHO on the list can tie a cherry stem with their tongue. I am *sure* Anne can, but don't ask me why I think this.......... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 11:16:02 -0800 From: "Kamp, Marcus S" Subject: Just Checking Have the people on this list lost their ability to email others directly w/their grievances, preferring instead to drop thinly-veiled hints to the Files? Are we becoming Mostly Annoying that quickly? People, people, people...EMAIL OTHERS DIRECTLY!!! Especially if any of you have gripes w/yours truly-email ME, not the Files! Sorry to get all serious-I know that's not like me-but the Files were originally a way to escape the shyte on that other Majorly Antiquated list. I, for 1, would like to see it return to it's original, FUN status. (Of course, I realize there's a certain amount of hypocrisy in my posting this, but unfortunately this is the only way to get a response from some.)

Hey music lovers.......As you have heard, the folding five lounge band will be playing at a couple music festivals in May. It is key to point out that Spring is the season for all these street/music/culture festivals. To stay Ben Folds related, him and those other 2 guys he plays in the band with did the Atlanta MidtownMusic Festival last year. While they are not scheduled this year, here are a few of the acts I picked out (my taste). But, don't just listen to me ramble. Goto their site and see if it is worth a trip to ya. http://www.musicmidtown.com Carrie!!! Semisonic!! *foaming at the mouth* (not me, Carrie) A Flock of Seagulls (5/3) David Byrne (5/2) Keb' Mo' (5/3) Morphine (5/1) Robert Cray Band (5/1) Semisonic (tbd) Sister Hazel (5/2) Son Volt (5/1) Tito Puente (5/3) Tonic (5/3) Violent Femmes (5/3) Man, I LOVE Tito...... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 16:14:51 -0600 From: "Erik C. Lyons" Subject: More Chatter And for the last comment (from me) today........ I want to thank everyone who contributed ideas for baby names for baby Lyons....After consultation with the Doc, it appears I can finally quit referring to my child as an *it*....... SHE is now Kate Anne Lyons.....Jen just calls her Kat.....or Katy (like Katie).... but, of course, it all isn't official until she decides to join the rest of out here in this clean, perfect society we live in...... but the bad news, and isn't there always bad news....the bad news is I have to put up with Jen's mood swings for another 20 weeks....*jen slap across the face* .... it ain't that bad though.... = )) Makes all of you want to have kids, doesn't it???

Ok BOWWCL...I've noticed that everytime I listen to it(this may be due to the fact that I have heard their toronto session about 30 times due to me making copies of it for boot trades)I alway hear the words "rocker Tommy Lee" when he said it....BOWWCL is now forever in my head the Rocker Tommy Lee song... later! 22 day till Visa bill! _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
