I was bitching about the heat and humidity. ANNE: Nicholas Brendon...word up to that. he's mighty fine. AND he's a twin! so there's two of him!! he was in In Style magazine in like..May, i think it was. damn, that boy sure has good taste. i could learn to live in a house like that. man, i hope my friend who knows Seth Green (AKA Scott Evil/Oz) can hook that shit up for me. STACY: Yay! Slimstyle is great! but one tip is that it's the New MORTY Show, not New MONTY Show.though i'm sure Morty is used to getting that. Actually I'm freidns with Morty, Vise Grip and Vise's wife Tanya. If you're in the SF area, check out tanya's club The Inferno. Something is making me want to say it's in the back of the Hi-Ball Lounge, but i think that something is wrong. So I was supposed to go see Bernard Butler last night at the El Rey (he used to be in Suede). but that didn't happen because there was a big confusion/trauma about the ride situation. grr. but i DID get to go see his instore at Virgin tht afternoon. and i got a poster signed. i feel like such a "fan." oh yeah, and Seth Green was there. my friend that knows him got all mad that we didn't say hi. but yeah, like i'm goign to go up to him and say "hi, you know my friend Erik. let's hang out." i think stamping "GEEK" on my forhead would have the same effect. Mmmm, and i'm now in quite a state of deep smit with my friend Bryan. He looks a bit like Jude Law, which is a BIG plus, and on top of that he's like the nicest person i know. not to mention his fabulous taste in musis. but i think he may have a girl issue in another city *sigh* this is my lot in life, i think. but he did buy me a slurpee last night. i'm going to pretend that has meaning, even though i know it doesn't. it seems like everyone i've talked to lately already HAS a copy of the new B&S. damn them all. oh well, only 5 more days. pardon me while i kill the person who's car alarm is going off. i do SOO love living in the ghetto. it's such a treat. Marcus, have yourself a ton of fun at Bumbershoot. I'm only assuming you're going...because with a lineup like that, it would be just plain SILLY not to. do yourself a favor and go see Pink Martini's set. you'll enjoy it, i promise. the bassist was in my friend's old band (i was on one of their CDs giggling in parts) and the drummer used to drum for my dance classes in middle school. six degrees, yo. the one thing i don't like about being back here is that USC's server SUCKS. i keep getting disconnected every 15 or 20 mnutes. it's just plain annoying. netcom, how i miss thee. well, i tape the Comedy Central thing tomorrow. i'm sure there'll be a post from me later in the digest describing it to you in detail. well, i'm off to write one more message to my swing list, then off to sleep. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "You suck."

Stacy: That is really freaky, especially since I am 100% sure I've read that dream somewhere before. There is no doubt in my mind that I've previously read that dream. So... either I am having Deja Vu (as I'm prone to) or... something shifty is going on here. Eric: You could try and convert your friend... but, I don't know how prone to men she is. I actually have converted one lesbian, but, it was unintentional, she is in TX, I'm in NY, and we're both only 15, so, thats just completely not going to happen. I just like to brag about that one any chance I get on account of I think it's really cool =) Kathryn: If your single isn't defective.... then, ummm... are you? =P Wow, I actually posted here, I can't believe it. My postings are the reason the Pit Fantastic is so darn cool, and if I'm posting here.... well, Ginger, it's time to worry. - --John I know I had a good quote in me somewhere, I just can't think of one... next time, I promise. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Sep 1998 18:12:16 PDT From: "Courtney Knopf" Subject: Who Knows What? Well, it was just a test run today, but damn. Us Swingers kicked the crap out of the teachers and beat them by 2000 points. Hopefully this bodes well for the actual show. when that is going to be taped, i have no clue. I think the people who made up the categories are the same ones who do them on Win BeN Stein's Money. examples: "Cherry Poppin' Daddies Other than Jerry Lee Lewis" "Edward James and his Olmos Clear Complexion." So it looks like this is a game that is actually played for real money, so yippiee to that! let's hope i can bring home the bacon. although i must say i greatly impressed the producers when i was able to pull "Pangea" outta my ass. I'm just a wealth of useless information. bring it on spencer. you and me and Trivial Pursuit. another neat thing about this show is that if you're a good team who looks like you're having a lot of fun, they'll bring you back for more than one game. so it'll be like we're a panel or soemthign. how very Hollywood Squares! i will keep you all posted as to when it's taped and when it's supposed to be on. so this time, those of you who missed My Generation can get a chance to see me in action;) Oh, and much love to Lucy for giving me a shout out on the MA! hers was the only post i read, and it was quite enjoyable. I'm going to have to go find J, LC's CD. are they available at Virgin or Penny Lane? 4 more days to B&S!!! Oh, but daggers in my heart when i realised that Ellio Smith is opening up for them tonight and tomorrow in Leeds and Nottingham. *sob*sob*sob* I got my Entertainemnt Weekly in the mail, and if'n the gods aren't smiling down on me... joshua Jackson and his other dawson's Creek cohorts are on the cover. is it so wrong of me to want to do bad thigs to that boy? i mean..peanut butter IS good for the skin... or so the rumour goes;) Well, I'm going to go see Big Time Operator play in Redondo Beach tonight. it should be fun. the drummer, trumpet player and singer are all on one of my mailing lists. they're a bunch of cut ups. Should be a fun show. review to follow (of course). have a great friday night (or saturday depending on when you get this)! ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Shut the fuck up, Donnie!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Sep 1998 21:59:26 -0400 From: Dan Cohen Subject: The Dan Cohen Experience well, well, my funky filers. It's been a long-arse time since I poster last. therefore, this one is chuck-full o' goodies! In case you weren't in touch with the scanner debacle, a week ago I bought a scanner. I managed to scan some decent pictures in before it screwed up my computer, then I took it back and got my $160. I ended up splurging on my mother's birthday (Chanel no.5 gift set, Jelly Bellies, Eric Clapton box set). I wuv my mommy. The Dan Tape is done and sitting waiting for a bunch of people to request it. So far I have a few but my lazy arse hasn't copied it. I will gladly make anyone who wants one a copy...I also want copies of all of y'all tapes. Address at the end. Court, I need your address AGAIN. Explorer blue-screened me last night and I had to reboot, thereby losing my mIRC window. Windows 95 can lick me. I'm really becoming disappointed in the MA. I hate to ramble, and I know the whole purpose of the RF is to be the anti-MA, but here goes nothing... the MA is the place where AOLers, mostly, and I hate to generalize, especially to those AOLers I know who are intelligent and very cool about their computers, and you know who you are, get to hang out and ask stupid questions about when Fear of Pop is coming out (9/15/98) and what everyone's favorite song is (I thought I went through this: Eddie Walker, Mitchell Lane, Rocky) :) I really regret typing that because I could slight a lot of people but it seems to be that way to me. I don't unsubscribe because once in a while there is a lucid comment that I care about hearing and appreciate knowing. Also because if I unsubscribe, there just might be one of those comments someday. It's getting worse, though. There are more people coming on who stay SO on-topic it gets boring, and it's losing its initial lustre. That's why the RF is so great. Now I will remove my lips from Erik's posterior and apologize again to y'all. Sorry, I had to say it. I like hearing how someone's weekend was, or how J,LC is since I've never seen/heard them. Even Sound Garden has no Jump CDs! What else? Let's see.... Tuesday is my last day at work and I'm going down. It's tradition to haze a departing employee. They've shrink-wrapped guys to poles, written all over them, taped signs saying "The Driver of This Car Likes Little Boys" to their bumpers, etc. I'll update you on my condition but I fear for my life :) We'll see. I find it necessary to apologize to Courtney, Lucy, and everyone who was in #benfoldsfive last night when those people from my isp came in. Sorry it had to be like that, guys. Dammit, Sosa hit a homer and McGwire didn't. There's no justice anymore. Sosa's up again now w/bases loaded. If he hits #58 I'll shit. I like McGwire 'cause he's mean-looking. Sosa is a normal-looking player. McGwire, on the other hand, is a demonic force. I would fall, quivering, into a heap if I pitched against McGwire. Hehe. Nope, Sosa just hit a lousy grounder. Woohoo! Here's a topic for everyone: I like professional wrestling based on its sheer stupidity value. Comment if you will. 4 sleeps until B&S...I'm grinning like an idiot. Whee! The stereo of Dan currently contains: Disc 1-TMBG, "Severe Tire Damage" Disc 2-Spiritualized, "Ladies and Gentlemen" Disc 3-Roni Size/Reprazent, "New Forms (disc 1)" Disc 4-"Millennium Funk Party Volume 1" Disc 5-Elliott Smith, "XO" Mah gawd. Elliott and B&S? The Joygasmotron 4000 is up and running, boys! Big news...a decent concert in Syracuse...November 11 I get to see Cherry Poppin' Daddies! Yee-haw! And I have eighth row tickets to Tragically Hip Oct 10! I am a happy boy. Maybe I'm just hungry... ~Dan ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #235 *********************************
