Why do you... Well I am now a bigger fan than ever!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 2 Aug 1998 16:58:53 EDT From: FieryLox@aol.com Subject: Important Things I (Sara) Have Learned This Weekend... Ooooo, Ginger Nance and Ooooo, Scott Schneider came down to the ATL this weekend, and speaking from my relatively naive and young (compared to them!) viewpoint, I learned a few VERY good things to know: *Anyone who dresses up like Tina Turner and pretends to be your new manager is a huge-ass bitch. *Scott REALLY REALLY likes chicken. *Pomade is good stuff... *I now know EXACTLY who the world's worst waitress is. *Caribou Coffee has some soft tables...and THEY bus them! *Ginger is ticklish on her right side... *Scott abuses that knowledge above. *Lots of people go to 1AM movies in Dekalb County *I can't give directions, and Ginger (heaven help the girl) cannot follow them! *Ginger has severe problems road signs. *It is very clear that Ginger was an only child..."bye bye, Ginger!" *Scott has FOUR copies of WAEA, plus every BFF single ever made. Oh, and the songbook. And "he's cool". *All three of us just know WAAAAAAY too much about Ben Folds Five. *Scott won't sing for you, even if you're dying while trying to remember this ONE song that you liked but can't remember. *Waiters named Elvis are the best. (oh wait, I already knew this) Hmm...that's about all I learned! Well, work calls. I wonder how my new manager will dress up tonight? I'd have to say I hope it's not Madonna. Well, Ginger and Scott are just the LOVELIEST people I've ever met...seriously. I doubt ya'll will find nicer, funnier BFF fans on this list. Or that list. (Hey Scott, I said "ya'll") Ya'OK! Ta!

Ahhhhhhh... the strains of Anne's favorite song to play to get a party going. Especially if all partygoers have had something of an alcoholic nature to imbibe... But I digress. So here I am... finally with a few spare moments to check the old e-mail address and get all caught up on the RF archive. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... wery interesting. But first, some RFRW tidbits... So I broke into the locked cabinet in the house where they keep all the confessional tapes and I search each one for mentions of me (my egomaniacal nature at work, I do believe). So I cruise right by the footage of Markus shimmying to strains of Don Ho while wearing a filmy little yellow flowered number, and footage of Spencer just flooding his eyes with Visine (tm) and I get to a nice little shot of Matthew confessing his fear that Markus has been whispering to me about Matthew's "excessive force" during what I refer to as the "burgling incident." I sit there stunned -- I had no idea that Matthew did not know how much I admired him for his virile display of manliness in the face of a threat by a toasty petty thief. As I sit there with my jaw gaping open... I hear the producer (yes, the one who wears his janet. t-shirt incessantly) say "Puck was an asshole, but this guy's just a plain weevil..." So anyway... I am off to Matthew's room to soothe the savage beast -- and to get some o' those great Bhagavad Gitas he's mixing up! Of course, on my way up the stairs, I avoid the areas of the house decorated with charred pentagrams and candle stubs left over from Courtney's attempts to turn the mojo from bad to good. Oh yeah... and the peanut butter scene was, as Markus intimated, a PR scam to make the two of us seem sexier. "I believe the JIF (tm) has become the ninth roommate." In other news... a Shrinky Dink (tm) of me? Nekked? Awwwwwww... how sweet! But y'know what? I never could get the damn shrinky dinks to actually work right. Mine all ended up misshapen blobs. Damn discount Smurf (tm) Shrinky Dinks! And here are some questions for the huddled masses: 1.) What happened to Sandi? I'm concered! 2.) Where was the confrontation between the FL and J(AG)? I'm intrigued! 3.) Why has the RF militia been assembled? I'm militant! Oh, and don't I owe the proud pappy, our own FL a haiku? Welp, here goes... This first one I call "Quel horreur!" On her vacation Anne frolicked, gamboled and romped -- Now she works. Poor Anne. Or how about this masterpiece. I call this "Kate Anne" July twenty-nine Eighteen and one-half inches Seven pounds, one ounce Or maybe this one will suit you better. I call this "The Curse of Too Many BGs" The burglar is dead. Matthew stabbed him, but he was By then a charred corpse. Or the ever popular "The Fjord" Militia rises -- We slurp Jello* shots and Tang.* The war is no more. Welp... that shall be all for this Sunday afternoon! Cheerio all! - -Anne *(tm) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 15:59:39 +1000 From: Kate_Watkins%HBH@themis.com.au Subject: Well I am now a bigger fan than ever!!! Hello people Firstly, congrats to our beloved FL on the birth of his daughter, Kate. Great name, btw!!! :) Secondly, I have now seen my 2nd BFF live gig and I am (as the subject line goes) now a bigger fan than ever. The last time I saw the guys was at Livid and I had to share the experience with about 60,000 other people (I think that was what the crowd numbers were) and I could only see what was happening on the stage by looking through binoculars. Now I have seen my 2nd concert and I was close enough to see Robert's eyebrow wiggle!!!! It was fantastic!! I was a bit unsure of what my seats would be like coz general admission was sold out by the time ANZ Bank stopped ^%$^%$&%ing around with my Visa card and let things actually be booked on it!!!! But anyway, the seats were great!!! I hopped out into the isle with some girls I have never met before and danced away to the songs that you just can't sit still to (I am sure you all know which ones I am talking about!). And I just have to say that I think that the little butt-wiggle that Robert does when he is playing is very sensual!! I have never wanted to be a bass more in entire life!!! As Kel from Melbourne suggested, I hung around the backstage door and asked this really nice bouncer to get Doug Goodman for me. He said that the message had been passed on, but that he looked pretty busy. Then he got another guy to check what was happening later and apparently the guys were still eating!!! Anyway, then I had to leave so I could not get any autographs! Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!! (what am I 4 or 24???) Anyway, I have the long term memory span of a knat so I cannot remember what the song list was like, but they played Underground straight after One Angry Dwarf and they played my current favourite song, Best Imitation of Myself, pretty early in the night. They did not play Kate, which was a bit of a disappointment to me. And they played Evaporated as an encore which was pretty cool. There you go - that's about all I can remember. Hanging out for the next Aussie tour already!! Kate. ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #202 *********************************
