I'll be driving about 7 hours to get there, but it'll be worth it to see Liz again. Anyone who wants to make this a big gathering is welcome to come! So far we have like 4 or 5 people. Please, anyone who wants to come......COME! We wanna try and make this a big SSD gathering. It's August 14 in Detroit at the Pine Knob. I have to say that I like the idea of Liz going to Capitol and leaving Matador. Why? Cuz maybe Capitol will actually promote her albums now! I'm not even gonna waste my breath on Chris Polona or whatever the hell his name is. Just leave us alone!

Have you ever thought that maybe liz has free will, and the reason she went with Capitol is because she wanted to? She's the one that in interviews has said she's on her way to being a big star. I don't necessarily thing that her indie cred is that important to her as it seems to be to you. THe theme of "protecting" liz from all the big bad seems to run rampant on this list. I'm sure you won't like me anymore now, but liz doesn't need protection. She's a grown up capable of making her own decisions. She belongs to no one but herself. keely ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 02 May 1999 13:01:42 -0400 (EDT) From: "Nicole W." Subject: WPI SHOW... FUCK! I JUST WROTE THIS PHAT REVIEW OF THIS SHOW, AND ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED MEANING TO POSTPONE IT, FORGETTING THAT POSTPONING IS , AND I FUCKING CANCELLED IT! FUCK!!! Aughhhhhhhhh! I'll try again. Okay my friend was supposed to drive me to this show. She doesnt' know Liz, and she was abeing a real bitch on the phone when I was trying to tell her what time to pick me up, and she was saying mean things about me, so i said fuck it, i'll get there myself. So I had to jet out of my room and take the subway to the bus station, and take a greyhound. But anything for Liz, right? So I made it there... When I got there, about 15 min. before the proposed door time, there were only like 20 or 30 people waiting. When I got in, I had to pee, and I was afraid people would have filled up the first row by the stage (standing... not seated like wellesley) but I actually got the second best spot in the place, which might be the first best, because Liz doesn't tend to look straight down. I was to the left of center. I mean exactly to the left, not like 8 people or anything. Since we alwasy talk about what Liz wears, she was wearign grey capri pants, black tube top, and white pleathery jacket. She was wearing these amazing platform sandals. The platforms were like blue vinyley looking... and the straps were too cool and I can't explain them. Her hair was all messy and punkish, and she was adorable. Oh she took the jacket off like during the first song. The place was pretty quiet as far as teh crowd goes, so alot of the show wwas spent with me exchanging dialogue with Liz. Some highlights: When she first came out, I wanted to make sure she would play 7 veils tonight because she didnt' last night, so I go "ARE YOU PLAYING 7 VEILS TONIGHT?" And she nodded. Oh by the way, I had lost my voice the night before, but somehow gained the pwer to yell and sing. Hmm. I decided the song i'd yell for tnight was "Stuck on an Island." I yelled for it and Liz goes "Sometimes people ask for songs that I've forgotten how to play, but I'm really tempted to try that one." !!!! I was really excited! I was like "DO IT!" And she nodded or somethign, or maybe she said something. Don't remember. I yelled for that several times, and once she was like "i'm trying to figure that out in my head." And I was goin' nuts! not really. But inside. And anotehr time she actually started fingering the chords, and i was like "YEAH YEAH!" And she smiled. Now one time I felt really bad... because the sparse crowd was obviously mostly non-Liz fans, and they were yelling for Poly Bride. WelL i wanted to see what would happen if she didn't play it, so i go "I DARE YOU NOT TO PLAY POLYESTER BRIDE!" and she looked a bit upset and she was like "I don't know what to say to that. Well I'm playing it after this song." And after that song, I was like "I DIDN'T MEAN THAT DARE IN A MEAN WAY, I JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN." and she was like "okaaay..." And then went into a decidedly extra rocking version of Polyester Bride. Even *I* was impressed, and I smiled at LIz alot and I know this is one of those things that everyone thinks, but I *know* she looked at me quite a few times during the show. Hell, there were only a handful of actual fans in the crowd, and I was up front, so of course she would catch my eye a couple times... Maybe? I sound like i'm gloating, but i'm not. Anyway, anotehr highlight was "Divorce Song." In the end, the instrumental part, everyone sped up on their instruments til it was super fast. It was awesome! Uhh... more stuff as I remember it. I mean of course the show was awesome, much better than wellesley, IMHO, but to give a song by song review would be redundant, because it's Liz, she rocks, what more can I say? At the end of the show, Liz threw out picks and she tried tossing one to me... she looked straight at me, okay? but I can't catch so I didn't get one, but that's okay, i have two already. I was getting a ride home with some guy who isn't on this list named Ken... so I couldn't wait around to say bye to janet or to try and meet liz. This Ken guy was with his wife and t hey were doing me a favor, and I didn't want to make them wait around. They wree the types who go to bed real early, too. This is a long post, but none of it really digresses from the topic of Liz! That's a record. I bet no one reads this. Hmm.

Don't Apologize, so Kevin (hi kevin... I know you're out there...) had to fix 'em for her, and she was like "this is kevin blah blah blah" i forget what she said, and the audience cheered for him, and she was like "no one ever yells for the guitar tech" or something. Then every time Kevin came out I'd yell for him. He's a nice guy anyway... even though he has something against "internet people." But I know he's one too... just not actively. Anyway... I think both new songs rock... Firewalker is more catchy.

The "Kyler" person you speak of is a graduate of my university and high school (like, last year). Her name is Kyler England and she's a very ambitious singer/songwriter/guitarist type who's going to music school up north like Berklee. Anyway, it's kinda weird she's opening for liz now since just last year she was playing at these little coffee and bagel and dorm room musical talent things at NCSU. (Heh, i actually played a cover of the Cure's "lullaby" at one with some other guys). She does have an excellent voice and seems to be doing well (signed to Capitol apparently) doing the Jewely thing.

Yeah! Anyway, for some reason, the first time I heard Help Me Mary I thought of that Glade (?) commercial w/ that old lady who's like, "I have 20 sons" b/c she's the owner of a frat or something, and the guys are running around the house, and she puts those Spin n' Fresh things in the toilet paper rolls to keep the bathrooms fresh. Maybe it was the losing home to thieves and suspicious stains part. I don't know, I just kept picturing Liz as the owner of this house, and these frat guys are tormenting her and she's running around the house desperately trying to install these bathroom freshener things. A strange image, but it always stuck. Anybody know what commercial I'm talking about? I'm not even gonna ask if anybody else ever thought of this, b/c it is just too bizarre. - --Allison DaisyFoo14@aol.com Holy shit!

So...prom is coming up and I had this dream about it: I was at the dance and this slow song came on so I ran out of the gym so I wouldn't have to dance w/ my date(which is actually what I plan on doing) anyway, the dance was at this mall or something so I went into a card shop. So I was just looking around and all of sudden I see Liz and Buddy! And so I was like, hmmm...should I say anything? So I decided I should so I was like, "hey, liz!" and she turned and looked and she like recognized me or something cuz she was like,"hey, how are you doing?" and I was like, "will you sign something for me?" she said yes so I just grabbed some card from the shelf and had her sign it. Then I was like, Hmm...my camera is back in the gym, I should get a picture so magically it was there and I asked for a pic and she said yes except that the stupid pics wouldn't turn out. Like, I knew this even though they weren't developed, but whatever...And I wanted to take like a whole roll so that maybe one would turn out but then she had to go...Anyway, it's kind of a stupid dream but I just had to share cuz I just remembered it. And I woke up really sad cuz I knew that I actually hadn't met her...how sad... === The one and only, Suzanne Explain It To Me http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Hall/9429 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

One thing for sure, I've had soo many conversations with my friends like Nicole about seeing Liz or even liking Liz. Me: I'm going to see Liz Phair. Friend: Didn't you go last summer? Why go again? Me: No...this is a musician, her name is Liz Phair. Friend: Oh...this is a person and not a festival? Me: Uhh..yeah. I'm going to see Lizzzz Phair. The festival I went to last summer is called the Lilittthhh Fair. Of course, I had to stress the TH so they would get the idea and was splattering on them. Don't ever confuse Liz with Lilitttthhh! Oh well...and then my co-workers wanted to see my concert pics of Liz. Uhhh...like they care cuz they kept going, "Who's she? Never heard of her. She looks exactly like Sheryl Crow." Ohki...whatever! Then, the Chris Plona guy? He needs to find psychiatric help VERY SOON! For some reason, with mentioning a Katie, it totally throws me off. Uhhh....like *I'm* the one who provided Mark with the Jewel cd that had the song he posted a while ago. Very interesting with what everyone thought. It's one of my faves, but I haven't been listening to Jewel lately. Oh welll.... what could we do to clear up the confusion with which Katie we talk about? Hmmmm.... Oh yeah...I have this Web Ferret thingy and put in Liz Phair for the search. Got 500 different links, found many fellow list member's pages on there. There are a few that totally threw me off: Naked nude pics of Liz Phair. EWWWWWWWWWWWW! Don't bother asking me to send you the link cuz I ain't gonna! Puh! Sicko minds!
