Never mind, I'll find my own dive. Damned communist holiday. Got my Sinfrosa CD in the mail this weekend. A cursory listening tells me that I should take more time to listen more closely, sounds great. Markus, pretty cool reading about how you came up with titles. Take care.

Sorry, I have been too busy hanging out with firemen and listening to "Deadly Faerie Tales" to write. Love, Tina ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 09:24:50 CST From: "Fearless Leader" Subject: monday thoughts First, V-day. Not victory by any means. More like, umm, well-- Varium et mutabile semper femina* - DAY. I don't think I could say it any better. Men, before you ANY of you think you got it rough, listen up. Jen's bday JUSThappens to fall on the 14th. double shot to the love/pocket book. Man. Talk about having to go all out....So, I am ALLINFAVOR of changing/abolishing valentine's day, unless of course, somebody wants to make it a state/federal holiday. Yo, Tina's drunk. I saw her Friday and those WERENOT firemen. Yeah, thatz right. They had uniforms on alright. But upon closer inspection, they were hospital security guys with large boots on. really. BenFoldsFive's new offering? They have something coming out. Hmm. Didn't know. I also hope there isn't any songs on there TOO poppy like the One Week. I was dissappointed when I heard BNL's new song. And the video also. But I do understand the objective of some people and respect it, so no disrespect to BNL, and to BenFEFE if they have a *hit* that is, IMO, too peppy. But I am sure I will still sing aling, and bounce like teeny-person. enough of that. Hey Courtney, was they guy's name julio that tried to sell you crack? When I was in LA some guys named julio tried to sell me crack. he said that he was the ONLY guy in LA that had this shyte. So it was probably the same guy, ¿no? I have yet to step foot into a theatre this year, or for about 6 months for that matter. I must go see a movie, but somehow I can't seem to rationalize the $20+ I will spend. matthew is a nut. eric, things will turn your way, as venus and pluto have aligned and therefore, you shall be gettin some luvin this Sunday. jordan. rich guy. send me some of that $$. do you smell that? It is the stench of a bus that hasn;t been started in moinths warming up. That can only mean one thing. The BFF express is gearing up to come to a college near you. But first, they need to clean the bus of all those pizza boxes and sanitize the bathroom. out of thoughts. - -erik * "woman is ever a fickle and changeable thing" - Virgil ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 07:39:27 PST From: "Markus Kamp" Subject: VDay Singles 1st of all, lemme point out that I used to work @ Hallmark--no, not the store, the actualy headquarters. I was a proofreader there for 2 years...I still haven't gotten the damned greeting card glitter outta my eyebrow hair. So, it is w/some knowledge/experience that I point out that Valentines Day is not ACTUALLY one of the Hallmark holidays (like Boss's Day, Grandparents Day, Secretaries Day, etc.) but actually has its roots in other mythological sources. Granted, JC Hall & Co. have certainly done all in their power to push the saccharine (better than aspartame) sweetness into our overstuffed gullets, but what greeting card company hasn't?! So, to all of you I wish...happy Arbor Day! Court: 1 of the coolest things about Singles for me is watching it since I moved to Seattle. Several of the scenes (indoor ones, even) are in bars/restaurants I've been in w/some frequency. The coolest by far is the little coffee place where Matt "gag me, but I'm a 14-year-old in the '80s & he's GORGEOUS" Dillon & Bridget "how could anyone w/these genes not be an actress?" Fonda's characters worked is actually the bar where Sinforosa just had our CD release party:-)! God, I love this town!

My weekend rocked, how about yours? Friday: Sandi and I went to see Gladhands and Sloan at the Cradle. They both rocked, especially Sloan. We met some nice, cool guys from VA...one of them is an old-school Armchairer. Post-show, Sandi declares "We're fucking going to DC tomorrow night, who's coming?" I knew I was in trouble then, hehe. So three of the guys decide to stay at Sandi's and ride to DC with us. Saturday: Got up at 5:30 AM to get my Carolina/Duke ticket. Got home and slept from 9:30-12ish. Took a shower, Sandi/Jason/Jason/Dan came and picked me up, and we hit the road. Got to the Black Cat way early, hung around and played Belle and Sebastian and Prince on the jukebox, then had our world rocked by Sloan again. Some freak boy was next to us, and he almost whapped Sandi in the head about 50 times. He was WAY too into the show. Chris told him to "settle down, it'll be okay." When we went to the car, some guy wanted three bucks to help us get out (we weren't blocked in). He told us he had a gun...I think if I had a gun I'd ask for more than $3. Oh well. Drove to Radford, VA and dropped the guys off, and continued back to Chapel Hill. Sunday: Got home at 11 AM, slept from 11:30-4:30, got up, hung out, then Sandi and I went to see Remy Zero and Semisonic at the Cradle. We were two of the very few over-21 crowd members--I felt old. Remy Zero was cool--their lead singer, as you may or may not know, recently married Alyssa Milano. She sends him flowers at the shows, and after their set he carried the beautiful vase of sunflowers over, set it in front of me and Sandi and said "help yourself." The card read "love Alyssa." Crazy. Then Semisonic played and they rocked. Dan Wilson's hip swing is a force to be reckoned with. The guys from Sloan, Remy Zero, and Semisonic were very cool. I think the singer from Sloan had a thing for Sandi--he was quite flirtatious. I got to meet some people from the Belle and Sebastian list, so that was cool. I got way too little sleep, though...I'm exhausted. Who says BFF has to be on tour for someone to have a little fun?

Ginger, saving myself from my paper, I was surfing your website. Quite lovely-I enjoyed it. Anyone here listen to Ricky Martin? I enjoy him. Also, I have more music fun. Im searching for this song by ? on cd ? with the lyric, "Cupid! Draw back your bow..and let your arrow go..deep in my lovers something something something..." Me and my friend were serenaded by this talented guy on the subway with that song the other day-plus, this guy was like "Lovely lady, this song is for you!" and we both thought that he was talking to each of us, if that makes sense (she thought he was singing to her, I thought he was singing to me..) So I give him props for being democratic... Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, and Leonard Cohen. ~Elisabeth Maybe Ill name my first male child Donnelly Carlos Donnellys... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 00:36:09 -0500 (EST) From: Katy Demcak Subject: e.e. cummings so much depends upon... well, i won't go into any william carlos williams poetry here... Elisabeth -- the same sort of thing happened this weekend to me and my friends. We were in the Fanueil Hall area going to a bar when we passed a guy on the street who was asking for spare change, and well, I feel bad writing this, but we didn't give him anyway, and he yelled after us: "Well, that's OK, you look so fine tonight that I'll forgive you!" and we couldn't agree on which one of us he was talking to. And sadly, I was more than a little tipsy at that moment and had completely forgotten about it until I read your story. I'm editor in chief of the campus newspaper here, and my god, i am counting down the issues. only six left until the new staff takes over and i can rest! it has been such a good experience, but it has also been one of the most emotionally draining things I've ever done. I find myself becoming a bitter old senior, hating frosh, hating this school and hating people who won't give me a job, that I had to come up with a list of good things to look forward to to make me feel happy: the new Ben Lee album February sweeps on Sunset Beach, the cheesiest soap to which I am sadly addictedJawbreaker, the new dark high school Heathers-esque movie coming out the Oscars! and last but not least, the new BFF album. I always feel bad because no one ever replies to my posts; someone reply so I feel loved xoxo, Katy ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V2 #62 ********************************
