What, did you guys all just get home from vacation? ;) I'm psyched about how everyone's getting involved. About this letter-writing thing.... I don't know all the facts, and Ken can't really say much. I've got my feelers out and some people looking into things for me. For right now, i say we have a tiny letter-writing campaign. Tiny letters...like "please stop trying to sue the squirrel nut zippers." don't call and harass them. don't send harassing mail. that has never proven to work. one thing that i think worked was a nice, neat letter writing and website banner-posting thing for beinging the kids in the Hall back to Comedy Central. i don't know if it was becaue of us or because of fate that they came back on. But when you displayed the banner on your site, if someone clicked on it, they would end up at a nice page detailing the situation and had a snail-mail address as well as a guestbook-like petition for folks to sign. I'd be willing to host a page like this on the Landing homepage. I'd put up a banner on The Shrub, as well. If anyone has time soon, feel free to start making grafix or a page. If not, i'll work on it when i get back from DC on monday. As for what's in my CD player...uhm...the 3 main SNZ albums and the new BFF album which i cannot stop listening to. my musical sphere is shrinking. Ryan: Do you listen to any Maynard Ferguson? he's got HORNS...oh yes. what's all this talk about tomatoes?

You know, keep it reasonably upbeat and friendly to keep them from digging in their heels and wanting to screw us back. Just a thought. (Though I do hope Matt will post some burning candy photos.) Well, anyway, if there's anyone in Cambridge, they could picket the building one afternoon. I could hook them up with a media list and we could send out a news release. You know, embarrass those mofo's in their own community. If we could get two swing dancers out there for an hour on a weekday (noon to 1 PM) I bet we could get some of the local media to come out and cover the story. Let me know if anyone is interested in that sort of thing, it's my specialty ;) ~D. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dishon Gerald Robert [SMTP:dishongr@hermes.brevard.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 12:47 PM > To: 'the-landing@smoe.org' > Subject: Re: Write in Campaign SOSNZ (Save Our Squirrel Nut Zippers) > > Okay, so the people who wrote back about this write in campaign were for > it.

I wanna see it. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 11:12:02 -0400 From: Dishon Gerald Robert Subject: SOSNZ Okay, here's my idea: I'll write a letter to SBC asking them about the whole thing (scare tactic: everybody writes and asks what's going on), and when I get a response, I'll let you know. At that point we have several options, outlined in a previous post. We can debate for a few days and see what the over-all consensus is. - ------------------------- Gott in Himmel, there are a lot of messages in my inbox... cool. Ryan: Je's old Strad was a medium-large, which my friend thought was about a 46 something. Makes sense to have a larger bore for this type of thing. As a tubist, a medium large should be about 80, but that's just because we have to push more air. :-0 May the postal gods bless my letter.

I love Maynard. I've seen him twice at blues alley in DC. He has one of the most solid (extreme) high notes. He signed two things of mine. On his new cd he does a song that sounds like the opening to "stephen foster" (only with trumpet). In fact, my trumpet teacher has played with his Big Bop Nouveau once. >Ryan: Do you listen to any Maynard Ferguson? he's got HORNS...oh yes. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
