Damn! But, really, I don't care. I already have my tickets (both for the show and airplane) to see BFF in Las Vegas. I just figured if I wanted to see them again, I'd have to go out west. Advice to Sandi and others out in the midwest - book flights soon. I waited 2 days to get back with my friends out there and the price jumped over $30 in that short time span! The guy I met out there on my last visit called me last night, just to say hi, and is so glad I'm coming out there and wanted to know if I wanted to go and camp out in the mountains. Luckily, I'll have enough time out there to do so. I made it clear that the concert was my main reason for flying all that way out there, so it will be only a short stay in a tent in the mountains. He was so sweet - I think I'll send him a tape of some of the songs he'll hear at the show. I love having enough money to be able to fly back out there to see BFF! My parents are telling me I'm immature, but who cares. I'll be mature later when I get around to it. It's not like they're paying my rent for me or anything. They're just pissed off that they can't control me anymore, now that I can support myself! All my co-workers, who are the same age as my parents, and who have to cover for my time off, are digging the fact that I'm flying across the country to see BFF. So there! It's just too bad that my folks are too scared to go online to read this... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Mar 1998 09:48:16 EST From: Lennonita Subject: So Vegas is on? Wow. I might get a chance to actually meet some of you guys. That is, if you wouldn't mind hanging out with a seventeen-year-old... Kristen: you mean, once you move out of the house your parents STILL have the "You are an extension of me" complex? DAMMIT! I'm going through that right now...I hope that when I leave for college it will go away, but now the chances don't seem likely. Although I'm nearly positive I'll be going to NYU, thousands of miles away. They won't be able to handle it. They don't even want me to go there, but it's no longer their choice. It's very annoying. It's like...I have to defend myself all the time to them. And being perpetually defensive is not healthy. Anyway, it's nice to hear I'm not the only one...

I can't stop smiling due to the new Semisonic album I've been listening to... :-) I promise, I'll shut up about them soon, but they make me SO FUCKING happy I could cry. A question: If Ben Folds is masterwriter of the breakup song that makes sense to the broken-up, who is the masterwriter of the love song that makes sense to the loved? Dan Wilson (of Semisonic, of course) has undisputedly done it for me for the past two years, but I'd love to hear who you all think it is. And do you agree that Ben Folds is the breakup king? (I know it is a BFF list, but hell, we all love their music for different reasons...) I just dyed my hair since I had some random Koolaid packets my mom sent me (like I have sugar to make it with or something!). Cherry, Tropical Punch, Lemonade, and Grape. It's kinda calico-funky-looking, but not hideously bright, just gently so. What a beautiful warm and rainy day... Mmm... Looking forward to a Guiness night...

I again won't be able to attend the newest ConBENtion II. The airfare from MI to Las Vegas is just a bit too steep and well I can't even drink leagally (only one year left) so what fun would I be anyway. I may catch the boys in Hollywood though, I will be visiting family then. Oh well, all of you going have a BLAST!!!! I will definately be going to any Chicago show this time around, and the Detroit show (if there will be one)... anyone else want to hit the two cities? Oh and Markus thanks for painting such a beautiful picture of me :), I can also cook and edit video... I mean what else could one want!!!

I've heard rumors, nothing more. or does anyone know where I could get this information? according to my local record store, there is no "fear of pop" being released in the next few months. thanks love bob ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 02:12:54 -0400 From: Shara_Hoffman@hths.mcvsd.k12.nj.us (Shara Hoffman) Subject: old contest & new dates hello. just a slight correction, i did post w hile ago about the naked baby photos contest where you send in your baby photos. sorry you missed it. i kept putting off sending in my pict & i missed it too. you can view some of the pictures on the contest page (www.wknc.ncsu.edu) also, many dates have been posted to the official homepage. if you have not been there recently, go check it out. - -shara ______________________________________ Monmouth County Vocational School District High Technology High School P.O.
