I found the 2 UK Brick singles, another Uncle Walter single (which I hope to trade, so anyone want Uncle Walter single on CD??) plus a magazine with a cool article of bff in it....... :) Plus I met my email friend Anne Kirkwood, and conned my mum into letting me see Blink 182 in May! All up, it was cool......Oh yeah there was a ben folds interview on too, it was a little brickish but hey its Ben. He said he loved 'Soap Disco' Well he said it was his fave song.... Pretty funny and he got kicked off the show :) - - Julie 'anti-gavin' ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1998 05:50:23 PDT From: "Courtney Knopf" Subject: i am a big psycho So I'll make Scott a dub of Big Bad Voodoo daddy's first CD, and anyone else that wants it, just let me know:) i's got's da hookups, yo. (you know i just really like gangsta bitch speak. not sure por quoi, though.) And I have some pseudo BENtent in the form of a dream i had last night..well morning really, but yeha I was at this house that was still being finished up (like the walls were just sheet rock and hadn't been painted yet) and there was a party there --housewarming, i think-- and Ben was there and we hung out and just hit it off right away, and then we're sitting on a couch and he's playing with my hair (dig THAT! he wins major points right there) and then it just turns into a makeout session. It was sort of odd, because i was just like "I'm making out with Ben Folds.....WTF!!!??" in that i- know- i'm- having- a- dream- but- still- this- is- really- weird way. So taking into account that i can never seem to have dreams where Darren is the center of attention (and he's who i classify s 'the cute one'), I assign interpretation to Anne. Go forth and explain like i know you can, gal. Is anyone on here desperately wishing for Seattle/Portland to be added to the tour dates? I mean really, what do our boys have against the pacific Northwest? Sure it rains a lot, but damn! Oh well, I'm just selfish and want to see them more than once this tour. but if I can sweet talk my dad right, I could perschnapps end up in london the same time as the show at the Forum. Woohoo! but now I've started to ramble (but it's 5:30 AM and i have yet to go to sleep, so I suppose I'm allowed). ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "We gotta get you the fuck outta Dodge. We're goin' to Vegas, baby!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1998 11:34:57 EDT From: Lennonita Subject: Ish 100! I'm gonna make the 100th RF! I'm gonna make the 100th RF! Whee! now that that's out of the way, pseudo-Bentent: Thursday night, my dysfunctional band was supposed to play in a little Battle of the Bands competition at my school. Great except for the fact that we hadn't rehearsed in four months. (We don't communicate very well with each other.) So Wednesday night we all show up at our ringleader's house and our drummer informs us that our bassist went to Reno and won't be back until Saturday. They then tell me that I'M playing bass, which is real fuckin funny because I don't play bass. At all. We run around trying to find a bass, end up borrowing one from this guy we know, start to rehearse with the three of us, decide we sound like a pissed Everclear on Quaaludes, and scrap the idea. So Peter (Fearless leader that he is) says, "Alright, fine, I'll play acoustic, Meg, you play piano." So I learned all of our loud rocking Smashing Pumpkins-y songs on piano, as well as our two covers. Let me tell you...you haven't lived until you've played Jenny (867-5309) on piano. It kicked major ass. I felt like I was channeling Ben. I was so dead on, it was great. Then we went to the Battle and couldn't find a cord to plug the keyboard into the sound board, so I ended up playing guitar when we found our former bassist there who decided to play with us. But it was a fun Wednesday night. Anyway, that's all. I get to be re-Foldsifived (heeeeey...new term, there...) in just under two weeks. woo-hoo! Meg Can't think of a funny quote. Sniff... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1998 23:19:50 +0000 From: "Stephen E. Chamraz" Subject: The Assmaster Returns Hello all. It's been a while since I posted, but hey... I'm a busy guy. As you all should know, I am the fabled and much ballyhooed ass-lifter from the kick-ass Chicago show in February. I singlehandedly raised Sandi Shortcake's cute patoot almost 6' off the floor of the Riviera. I am pleased to tell you that I am available to lift asses again! I will be at the Grand Rapids show on May 26 and will be following through on my ass-lifting promise made a while ago. Here's how it works... The members of the Files need to vote on which of their fellow members (in attendance at the GR show) is the most liftworthy. To do this, between now and Friday, May 1, anyone can nominate themselves or a friend by e-mailing ME, not the Files, at chamraz@execpc.com. The only stipulations I have here are that the contestants must be female and must be shorter than me... and I'm 6' tall. I will then post a list of all nominees to the Files on Saturday, May 2. Then respond to me with your final vote before Wednesday, May 6. The winner's name will be posted on Friday, May 8. The winner of the final vote will get lifted at the Grand Rapids show, at great risk to my getting kicked out of the venue. Let the voting begin! _______________________ Steve Chamraz www.execpc.com/~chamraz chamraz@execpc.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Apr 1998 15:50:34 +1000 From: "Julie 'anti-gavin' Hurst" Subject: 'Size does Matter' Anyhoo, when I saw the ad for Godzilla and "SIZE DOES MATTER" and me and my friend just thought of Ben...this was ages ago, before i knew about the song being on the soundtrack... During an interview in Australia, Ben was asked why he has a piano (of course they are gonna be asked this) and he said its cos its longer, and that the girth is important. Then they had a big argument about whether size matters and Ben tells everyone how he has a muscle car... Kinda weird/funny/strange thing is that I was coming back from my holiday and we passed a HUGE banner for it, and it just had "SIZE DOES MATTER" and I cracked up, and my mother told me off for being disgusting...;) - -Julie 'anti-gavin' ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #100 *********************************
