[BigHAIR844@aol.com] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 02:24:40 EDT From: BigHAIR844@aol.com Subject: [s-r] Thanks Everybody! Good Evening everyone!! Ahhhhhh... i've finally managed a few spare moments to read all my [s-r] posts from the last couple of weeks... and i was loving the discussions. I feel the need to thank everyone, all the list members, and Lisa and Ron at AGF for making this list so doggone cool. I remember when I first started the list, I humbly asked Ron Fierstein for permission to put together a do-it-yourself list and asked if perhaps he could keep me updated on Shawn happenings. "Go for it!" was his reply. Kinda funny, though... i think poor Lisa got roped into helping this little Shawn pest, aka bigHAIR, perhaps to her dismay. But they have been unbelievably supportive since day one. To this day, i've no idea why Lisa and Ron have humored me throughout the years, but God love 'em, I'm glad they do! They are fantastic people. I began the list a few years ago (around Pre-Cover Girl time) by checking out the shawn colvin bulletin board on America Online and plucking some names from it, putting together information and CC:ing to whomever was interested. I had no knowledge of listservers or anything even close. The list grew very quickly. It was then that one interested member, Casey Christian, rescued me and offered up some space through smoe.org. I've not heard from Casey in a long while, but i'm sure he's lurking somewhere, and if you didn't know, he did all of this at no cost to anyone but himself. I've tried to help him out at least financially, and he won't let me. What a guy. (Thanks, dude.) While we all got here because of our interest in Shawn, perhaps we stay because it's also more than that. I've met, befriended, and corresponded with countless people on the list; some of you i will most likely meet in the near future. (For a shawn show perhaps?) I'd have surely never even have conceived of going to Telluride if not for this list. No, Shawn wasn't there, but it is a memory that i will keep with me forever. (Hey neil, I STILL have your Telluride T-shirt... need your address please.) I've discovered a bajillion different artists through suggestions made on this list and have had some great laughs. (Yes, the Bonnie and Jackson rumour was indeed a treat.) I've even managed to infect a few of you with my penchant for Xena. Some of you have been here since the first post, some of you are brand new (Welcome!) . It's a crazy thing, this internet, that can bring people together from all walks of life and parts of the world with but a common interest in one woman's music. EEK... i feel the urge to sing "We are the World" so i'd better make my point quickly. My point? We are a freakin' cool group of people. We've survived the Spice Girls, list competitors, and projectile paintings; I think we'll be around for a while in some shape or form. (Even if we someday lose smoe.org, maybe neil will rescue us with his ColvinKlein.com domain!) Perhaps one day Shawn herself will grace us with a post. So chins up. Keep posting. Air your frustrations. Make your requests. Suggest some music. Share your anecdotes. Or just tell me to shut up. I will be looking forward to all of it. Thanks, Small-Repairers. You're da Bestest. ~jean, aka bH, wondering why the heck i didn't go to the Lisa Loeb concert in town tonight! dang. Now Playing: the next door neighbor's way-too-loud rap music. drat. Perhaps i should leave my shawn CD on their doorstep? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
