Hi all! 1) some parking lot at UMass Amherst 2) Sarah A. 1) Le Frak Gym, UMass Amherst 2) Dan Cohen Leigh! you are KILLING me! Ben Folds Five did not play UMass Amherst this year... they played Amherst College. Yes, there is a difference. I swear it! LeFrak is Amherst College's gym, not UMass (hence, the cozy feel!) :) I have been out of touch for a bit (workinworkinworkin and not a bit of workin it!) so I am not up on the game... but after the Holidays I promise to go back and read old Files and then send a whopper of an e-mail!!! Take care, all! - -Anne Tonight... you're a star And I'm the Bid Dipper. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Dec 1999 13:45:18 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: one reason Alright kiddos, I don't like LA (sorry Courtney!!!!) to live in. Love to visit, but I don't think I'd want to live there for an extended period of time. However, it is things like these that make me wish that I did live in LA, every once in a while. stacy >Anyway, on a happier related note, last night was Jon's birthday, and his >sold-out show at Largo turned out to be the single best night of live music I >have ever seen. Ever. The opening acts, Tim Keegan of Departure Lounge and >especially Glenn Phillips formerly of Toad the Wet Sprocket, who I had never >seen before but who is now my Hero of the Week - were phenomenal. Jon's first >set was transcendent. Then came the surprise party! Some of his friends and >favorite musicians were enlisted to play birthday requests for him. This >included Elliott Smith, Neil Finn, genius jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, Colin >Hay, Grant Lee Phillips, and Tenacious D's Jack Black (who announced his >arrival thus: "I'm famous, and I brought you a f**kin' kick-ass present." He >did, too; it was a Spiderman web shooter.) > >Second set was Jon, Brad, Neil, Elliott and Grant playing Beatles and Kinks >tunes until after hours. Freaking phenomenal. What was best of all was the longing look you gave me... that longing look... More than enough to keep me fed all year. -XTC "Harvest Festival" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Stacy Flatt 520.621.1111 stacyf@u.arizona.edu Assistant Director Eat to the Beat Concerts @ the U of Arizona http://www.u.arizona.edu/~stacyf Powerpop DJ extrodinaire!

Ginger and i are telepathically linked. we're even having the same dreams. creepy shit, people. Last night i got into an arguement with a guy who thought that Metallica were musically better than the Beatles. obviously i beat him down. seriously, sarah and I are NOT the people with whom you should be arguing about the beatles. jesus, it's just not a fight you're going to win. okay, i gotta run. my set is almost over. ~Courtney _____________________________________________________________ Subject: c u in weak I am going on vacation for a week. My family is taking me to cancun. Then when things settle down, I will write my "Guster: part II" ok? I loved those last couple of RF's btw. I just got an older Built to Spill album. It's so great! Barbi ps. thank you Leigh and Stacy for the happy b-day wishes. That was nice. pps. good luck erik with your last minute paper writing. ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V2 #318 *********************************
