He didn't mention how much it is but it will probably be 20-25 bucks. Oh, he also neglected to mention the time but I do know it is in the evening. So I hope to see everyone who's in NY there! have a nice day... Matty J @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ matty j. mbjacobs@students.wisc.edu AIM- Lifeisski ICQ# 25174853 If you want to be happy, be.

Ben Folds (Five) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 21:39:07 -0500 From: Jessica Brandt Subject: attn: snz fans Okay this is a little off topic, so if you don't want to read it, please scroll on by... I know a lot of BFF fans are also hip to the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Well you may not know this, but the band is being sued by the Southern Style Nuts company who now own the Squirrel Brand Co. The Zippers named their band after the Squirrel Brand Peanut company candy "Zippers" and when the owner of that company got sick, they decided to sue SNZ...and then they sold the company and the NEW owners carried on the lawsuit. Worse yet, Mammoth, their label, has dropped legal backing and the Zippers have to fend for themselves against this nasty company, thus depleting their small bank account (sorry, they didn't go platinum...) Because of all the $ they have to spend, recent tours have been cancelled, and plans for a new album are scrapped until this gets cleared up. I was told by Ken Mosher (sax, guitar) that due to a few letters written by fans to drop the charges, the Southern Style Nuts company is beginning to sway in our favor. Ken asked me to spread the word that more good letters to the company might work. If you are a fan of the band, or sympathetic o the plight of these talented group of people, please write a NICE letter to customerservice@southernstylenuts.com asking them to drop charges. You can check out www.snzippers.com for a few more details. Thanks in advance, and keep on rockin'! (ps thanks to all who have entered the BFF contest on the shrub. there's a few more days left to enter!!)
