The beer isn't the greatest and their food is worse, but I would be more apt to label them lame or inadequate, than evil. Explain please.... Also, seeing the turn out for Richard in Sebastopol the other night, I wondered if the Powerhouse was really an adequately sized venue for Lucy Kaplansky, who I reckon is a little more well known around here. Maybe it will have to move to a larger venue. Richard in Sebastopol was as wonderful as everyone has already reported. The venue was nice, good acoustics and a good line of sight from just about anywhere. It did seem a little warm inside and it wasn't a very warm day. I can't imagine what it's like in there after it's been over 100 degrees all day! I'd like to offer a special thanks to Katie who chased away some unruly ruffians who threatened to disrupt the show. Tuesday night's show in Palo Alto was disrupted by a gang of hooligans on scooters, not to mention hordes of yuppies who came out to picnic and chat while Richard tried to play over the din. Thanks again Katie and thanks for taking the posters down so I could grab one on the way out! One more thing, Mary Gauthier is my new best friend!

If I'm too late then it's my own fault for not having an epiphany (or any other piphany) sooner. It's my humble and personal opinion that the Lister crowd should avoid uniforms. I'm not sure if it's my anti-sheep self delusion or the indelible mark left on me by the Dr. Seuss book about the Sneeches, but either way I can't imagine us meeting in public wearing "colors". Here's an alternative suggestion. What if each Lister created her/his own t-shirt or pin to wear to shows. In Sara Davidson's excellent book "Loose Change" she describes a costume party where everyone came dressed as their favorite character from a Bob Dylan song. Applying this idea to our t-shirt quandary, we each produce our own favorite idea. There's an endless supply of creative interpretation supplied from our own ranks, and there's no complaining about artwork, sizes, cost or the percentage of cotton/polyester. There's also no overhead/coordination/shipping headaches for the fine people at Young/Hunter. How we identify each other at shows is the best part. The deeper your Richard scholarship, the better able you are to recognize another Lister's creative offering. If I see someone wearing a fleur de lys/tire iron design I can walk up in my "Touchy As Hell" model and say hello. The rest of the world is oblivious, which is most of the fun of joining a group anyway, right? But what if someone lacks a good idea and/or artistic skills? No problem, I'm sure a cottage industry will spring up selling t-shirts in the parking lot before shows. Jeez, we'll almost be Deadheads, though I'm getting off the bus when the parking lot is full of Kenworth driving trust fund babies imploring the crowd that they "need a miracle" :-) Kelly (please send offline flames to knice@earthlink.net) Unrelated P.S. The Palo Alto and San Francisco shows were incredible. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 15:21:40 -0400 From: Kerry Bernard Subject: [RS] Band Update... Because I thought you guys might care about such things (I know I do!), here's the lowdown on the upcoming Shindell band shows: For the shows at The Turning Point (7/21) and at Falcon Ridge (7/22-23), the band will consist of Lincoln Schleiffer, Denny McDermott, and John Putnam. For the shows at The Iron Horse (8/5) and at the Newport Folk Festival (8/6), the band will consist of Lincoln Schleiffer, Denny McDermott, and Larry Campbell. For another chance to see Larry Campbell (I mean, just to see him *play* of course... ;), I may shlep out to the Iron Horse again. Hmmmmm... In far more important news, I'm also happy to report that I got to meet the infamous Dave McKay at Peter Mulvey's (absolutelyfreakin'incredible) show in Boston last night! Wandering through the loud, mostly-standing, jam-packed room between sets, I stopped to talk to Pamela Means, Dave was standing smack-dab behind her, and he guessed who I was! It was very flukey but very cool. Kerry :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 12:44:36 -0700 From: katie stohlmann Subject: [RS] Evilness of Power House The Powerhouse (or as I like to call it The PowerTRIP) is evil for many reasons, most of which the last two times I've seen shows there I've had the most horrible traumatic experiences. They mostly involve me, a girl who looks like she's 14, going to tape a show for a respectable radio station, only to be intimidated and treated crappily by people who run the place, just because they can. Don't ever try to tape a show if you don't know what a quarter inch adapter is. Sue me if I don't want to have a career as a taper and only brought the DAT because someone bigger than me told me to tape the show. But I am excited for Lucy to be playing there in October, how weird is that? (If they ask me to tape, I'm going to say NOOOOOOO). October is going to be a great time to be living in (or traveling to) Northern California, what between Dar, The Nields, Lucy, and then Eddie From Ohio in early November, I'll get to see most of my favorites. I'm sure there's other stuff cooking, too.

I have almost finished my Camp Dar banner. It was my first attempt at tie dying in quite a while, I was afraid it would turn out black, but it is ok;-) The banner is approx 56" long and 39" wide. The background is tie dyed yellow, orange and red. It has dark purple (almost black) letters on it saying "CAMP DAR" or "DAR CAMP" depending on how you read it. I hope they will be visible from the bottom of the hill but we'll have to see. As you get close you will also notice some symbols on it. There is a fiery orange/yellow sun (what would FRFF be without that? we may find out this year), a moon and star (for Ten Year Night---Lucy listers please camp with us!), a Fleur de Lis (for On the Sea of Fleur de Lis---Shindell listers please camp with us too!), a compass (symbolizing that we come from all over the country and world OR symbolizing that the banner is a navigational aid OR who invented roses?), a sunflower (for Jef Scoville's story from the first ever Camp Dar), a heart (for Graham and I and all the camp dar couples and also for the warm and generous hearts of us all) and two kites (just because). The banner may not solve the whole problem of finding the camp. Unfortunately the letters don't glow in the dark and my thoughts of sewing knots in the bottom to make braille letters is pretty much hampered by my lack of working knowledge of braille. Maybe we can illuminate the sign with flashlights and then smear it with liver for the guide dogs;-) I hope this will be an easy way to spot the camp site. I will not attempt to put it up before Thursday so early volunteers may want to look on the left side of the hill (facing up) about halfway up for a dark green tent and a light blue tent that will appear Tues night. Thursday morning I will drape the banner over our tent until the shower stall is up and then it will hang from the shower stall (we hope). Red-haired Jenn from Oklahoma has volunteered to meet-and-greet. Anyone who wants to help just volunteer yourself to assure people that this is Camp Dar (assuming you are sure it is) and help people set up tents, etc. I have been lurking mostly on all three lists and am two months behind on reading dar digests but I am so excited to see you all! We leave tomorrow afternoon and I still have to heat set the letters and symbols, sew a pocket for the doweling and pack so I need to sign off. Bring sweaters, rain slickers and sunscreen!
