(yes i saw her for FREE!) both concerts rocked- she 's the best, but did i need to tell all of you that? so what is this concert in brooklyn in december -can anyone get me info on that? much obliged kc ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 12:45:23 EST From: NHHStudent@aol.com Subject: Re: Trailer Park: Top Magazine (warning:no beth) It's just good fun. I actually love reading about the east vs. west coast disputes. Not the gangsta rap stuff 'cause that just got plain ol' ugly, but the "my city is better than your city!" stuff. The L.A. Times had something about all that awhile ago...about the club scene in New York going down the tubes while L.A. was still flourishing. What can I say, I guess I'm just a proud Angeleno.

Yeah, that's what I hear and when I was in North Carolina visiting family people were pretty nice. But I've gotta admit, I still can't shake the stereotype of racist rednecks. Ugh, I know terrible of me. jen ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 20:36:55 GMT From: "Molly Malone" Subject: RE: Beth in Top Magazine You should try Amsterdam ( or any other Dutch city for that matter) the sweet smell will lead the way to a wonderful cannabis cafe :-) Beware of places full of tourists though, they'll give you a bad deal.
