(justforget about ehir real significan others and impending wee ones for a second). This would be cool right? Well this, the coupling of the most prominent male and female on a mailing list, happened on on swing list today. Like...I just can't even tell you how cool it is. Koshka (whom I liked to list denmother that started the whole Anne as Denmother thread) is moving from San Francisco to Atlanta to be with Derek in november. After starting off-list email correspondence in February, and making a few trips back and forth across the country, they sealed the deal thsi weekend and are going to live happily ever after. I know that this means nothing to you all since you don't know them... but wow. When I first heard, i was ALL kinds of squealy and jubilant about it (still am) and I just thought I'd let you know. I just think it's really cool. The Barflies list is as much of a family (if not more so) as the RF is, and it's just so cool to know that you people are out there, no matter the distance. Okay, time for a big group hug. I should be asleep. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "It rains nine months of the year in Seattle!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Jul 1998 10:58:22 -0600 From: "Erik C. Lyons" Subject: Absolutely, Positively... no Bentent whatsoever. I have stumbled upon something I am sure many of you Fjords are of awareness. However, since I wasn't, surely there are a few of you who might like the tid-bit I shall pass forward to you. Courtesy of the Neil Diamond folk, there is a WEB BOT which will inform you when pages are updated on the net. Of course, I am using this to let me know when the FALL dates for Neil and his sequence outfit (in all its glory) are announced. Just go to this page and follow the directions: http://www.northernlife.com/URL-mind.html and yes, the FL was corrupted by his mother and father (god rest his soul) at an early age. Other influences include: Manhattan Transfer (for those harmony-inclined), The Doobie (ahhh, Spence) Brothers, Chicago Transit Authority (yes, the year I was born that's what they were called), George Benson, James Taylor (where'd his hair go?), Carly Simon, yadda yadda....you get it. So I still live in the late 60's - early/mid 70's. Also, a word to the wise. You cannot go wrong by going to a Diamond concert. Electric is what he is, I swear. I just hope nothing electric ever gets a hold of his jumpsuits. Alright, I have divulged way TMI (2 much info)....

Um, hi, I am stupid and forgot when it was that The Boys would be playing a late night show (I forget which one)... and if that late night show happens to be one of the NYC ones, and if it happens to be the 14th, 15th, 16th or 17th of July, how can one go about getting tickets, and will any of y'all be there? I had a friend see Ben at the Glastonbury Festival, and you know what this friend did? heh... kinda funny.. Durring a quiet part between songs or something he yells out "Stacy loves you, and wants to marry you... All 3 of you!" he said to me that he isn't quite sure they heard him, but he'd like to think so, cuz Ben looked it him, kinda smiled, then touched his ass... hmmm.... good enough for me! hehe Stacy Oh, but I send my best, cause God knows you've seen my worst. --Ben Folds Five "Fair" Baby, I was doing fine, how do you think that I survived the other 25 before you? --Ben Folds Five "The Last Polka" http://www.u.arizona.edu/~stacyf icq #7641939 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Jul 1998 16:55:50 -0400 (EDT) From: crv1@is2.nyu.edu (Chris Van Valen) Subject: Give me a birthday present Hi kiddies Could someone tell me the name and title of the artist/song/album which contains the techno remix of "Brick"? Private replies please! As an aside, I got the Teleconned disc with the KCRW "Dr. Pyser", and although it's pretty good, I thought that the drums were mixed down way too low. Anyone agree? Discuss.

Or you can private email me too. I keep trying to download the one on the website that was listed a while ago, but it just doesn't like to work. Geocities is too congested or anything. Maybe if one of you has it and has icq you could icq it to me? I have about 80 mp3s, I could trade, some of them bff ones, and some bff ones that aren't available on any website. back to your regularly schedualed email...

I'm on fire! woohoo Just be warned... this has little or no bentent... *sigh* Ok, for those of y'all who live in or around NYC, what sort of cool things are there to do? I am 20 years old, so 21+ clubs are out of the question. I know about muesums and stuff, but what else can I do? Any cool concerts the 14-18 of July? Well, I thought I'd ask. Um, spose thats really all I had to say... um, Ben is cool, I can't wait for Fear Of Pop. His Five are cool too, I need to check out Barry Black and the Gladhands, anyone know what album of the Gladhands I should get? Okley Dokely. Talk to all of y'all later.

I joined in the post-armchair invasion aftermath. Now I'm on both, and you guys are all really cool. I had this great idea (IMHO) recently for a song BFF should most definetly cover... the theme song to The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Tell me now... wouldn't that be the best song? I can totally hear it in my head... it's lovely.
