I was sooo looking forward to it too. So, I was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to make me a copy... I'll send you the blank tape and pay postage. I'm sorry, I feel like such a lame-o. =-( I got boots to trade too if you are interested. Anyhow, thanks for listening. 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: Sun, 5 Jul 1998 14:39:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Patton Subject: Johnbot! I don't know how much or what you want, but I'd be willing to wage war on a small country for a dub of that Panoranmic BFF tape. It sounds great. And I know Wally Pleasant. He plays in Ann Arbor all the time. He so kicks ass. Especially the "Ann Arbor Song." For those that don't know the chorus is " 'Cause I'm self-righteous, pretentious, and politically correct. My views are slightly to the left of Karl Marx and Berchtolt Brecht." It just so describes the worlds only militantly liberal town. ;) Anyway, no Bentent for me, other than the fact that I love all of you. Laters! Hail Eris!

What the hell? What *is* this? I happily open my digest #175 looking for the usual gems of knowledge from Erik, Katie, Emily, Scott, Anne, Lucy, Jen, Courtney, Ginger, Katy, Amanda, Sandi, Eric, Hannah, Markus, etc. and there are none! Just John writing about stuff to fill up space....nice tape anyways! :) So, would you mind telling me if they have finally taken you all away? "They're coming to take me away, hee hee!" Ah, well, just make sure you all write me letters in Crayola....and go easy on those padded walls. ERIC: "Shirak!" and then there was light.....:) Let's see...Bentent. Yay! I taped ABC's Independence Day Concert and lo and behold, it's The Last Polka...of which I think the studio version is better. Hmmm...they showed lots of people in mud, I tried going back in slow motion to see if maybe I could catch a glimpse of the RF RR crew or Dave Holloway, but no luck. AND, my tape ran out right during the middle of "Common People," figures. The Tim Collins Nine are crazy guys. Amanda, where did you dig these guys up? Are they truly and surely for reals? and kinda cute, too.... So, Courtney, if two listmembers were to tie the knot who would it be? I'm thinking maybe..ah....sorry...dumb private joke. Well, actually more like a private joke that extends to over a dozen people, namely Ginger and Scott, but I digress.... I think I need to get a new stereo...I don't think that I really should be copying tapes by hooking two up together and then pressing play and record and hoping everything turns out alright....damn. *Songs for a Mongolian Funktress* will be available soon! ha!

Does anybody who lives in Southern California know when World Cafe is on the radio? I think that KCRW dropped it and I can't find a station near me which actually has a web page. Wait a sec. Okay....I did a search @ http://www.pri.org/locator.html. Nevermind. Umm.....My mix tape sucks... But I finally got enough links to satify myself for a while...I think almost 80 BFF personal pages shall be making their way into my links page....Yay! I win! July 16! Conan! July 24! World Cafe!

OH none out there oh well....anyway I just got back from Panama City I had 349 emails...yeah thats kinda alot most of them were the Rockford Files and the MA (mentally abscent. Things I am doing right now. Besides working on my Ben FOlds FIve webpage which will probably never be done, I am working on a Jellyfish webpage, a Snuzz webpage and a Bus Stop webpage also. Chuck Folds sent me some free cds. That must be the nicest guy in the world. Anyway the Ben Folds Five cd count is now up to 13 cause I finally found the other 2 brick cds. I think I got enough already but I will still buy them if I can find them. Also I went to a cd, record show and asked about the Ben Folds FIve Live Double CD and the guy was like and I quote "That thing is soo rare it will cost like $100 even if you can find it". I was like damn.........Also I got some Tickets to Dave....Dave Mathews that is I can't wait...I think Ozzy is coming to Memphis so I might have to go.... I saw Jerry Cantrell like 2 weeks ago it rocked the house but that was only cause he played old Alice in Chains song. But besides that life is boring... my job at the Gap get more boring by the second.... Some ups in my life would be that I finally quite smoking. I had smoked for 3 years but I finally quite and for those that don't know me I am only 17. But thats all I gots times forssssssssssssssssssss....

My guess is that lots of people were away from their computers because a) they wern't at work or b) they went away to celebrate the 4th of July, which is incidentally my half-birthday. I know you all meant to throw me a party, so I'll forgive you for not actually coming through . I just got back from sitting through Armageddon and Mulan right in a row; forgive me for being a little punchy. Bentent: I listened to S/T today for the first time in awhile and goddamit, the part in Where's Summer B? where Ben giggles STILL makes me laugh out loud and grin like an idiot. The person in the car next to me probably thought I was on drugs. cheers, Katy ________ Katy Demcak kdemcak@wellesley.edu http://wilbur.wellesley.edu/a-m/kdemcak/kdemcak.html "It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like a dog" -- some guys from Liverpool ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #176 *********************************
