okay, the things i got to share with y'all were some SNZ stickers.  the black ones with the lighting thingies on them.  ive got 3 to give away to those who correctly answer my questions first.  i havent got any questions right now cause ive been to lazy.  if you happen to already own one of these marvelous stickers, hold back on yer answers so those less privileged can take advantage.  first question will hopefully be out next week so keep eyes open.

the immortal guy,
Shaun

Subject: Songs for Summer

Hey, this was posted to the Ben Folds Five mailing list, and it's very
relavent here:

<<Wow.  I can't tell you how excited I am to see people talking about the
record.  My name is Adam Gimbel, Summer Brannin was my girlfriend.  Some
longtime listmembers might remember that I was on the BFF list right before
the band's popularity went all wacky.  Cool listmember Monica forwarded me
these posts.  I'd appreciate it if you sent any kind sentiments to the
guestbook on the Summersite (unless you have enough patience to wait for a
reply for me, I wouldn't!)  I see a couple of BFF fans signed the guestbook
in the past day or 2 and both threw our bannerlinks on their sites (one's
even called SummerB's Homepage!).  Thanks very much!

The album is VERY close to being completed.  I'm hoping I'll finish up
everything by the time I leave for a well-deserved vacation on August 20th.
We're HOPING for a November release date but I've gotta worka ma butt off
if we're gonna make it.  Yes, both Squirrel Nut Zippers AND Ben Folds 5 are
on the cd.  I'm trying to keep what songs are on it a bit of a mystery,
just to be, um, mysterious.  Not all of the songs on the record are
unreleased.  If you poke around the Summersite, you'll see a list of her
favorite bands.  *14* of them are on the record and that's all I'm gonna
say.  I will definitely be sending out all kinds of information about it in
the next few months, so I'm sure you'll see info on it sometime in the
fall.  Please feel free to pass this letter along to SNZ or BFF webfolk.

Want some BFF talk?  Ok, I saw them at a radio festival here in San Diego a
couple of months ago.  They played a shorter set but still were gutsy
enough to bore the punk rock kids (local heroes blink 182 headlined) with a
few of the slower tunes off the new album.  They were GREAT.  I'm sure
there have been plenty of reports on the band's recent shows.  I talked to
Robert for a long time after the show.  He couldn't have been nicer.  The
entire band had met Summer and the subject of the tune "Where's Summer B?"
came up.  he said they'd actually played it at soundcheck that day.  Damn!
I haven't seen them do it since the early days! (Heather Nova tour anyone?)
Anyways, I do Jason Falkner's website and Robert LOVES him.  JF almost was
the band's opener instead of Ben Lee actually.  Robert & Ken Moser both
made sure I told Jason they wanted to play with him.  Nice!

Later kids,

Adam>>

If you recall, Ken mentioned this CD in his Shrubbery interview. There is a
website for Summer, and it's beautiful. it's at:

http://www.vintageparts.com/summer/index.html

I put a banner link to it on my page, and i hope you all do the same,
whether you have SNZ-related sites or not. We're all in this together...and
she'd do the same for you!!!

as soon as i get time (huh, seems like i've been saying that a lot lately.
i need to write an actual schedule...) I will be making an SNZ charitable
works page/section on my website. hopefully, sometime around the time
Summer's CD comes out!

toodleoo

PS Congrats to DAWN, the big winner! please tell us all what you have won
