From: seth In the December 1996 issue of huH magazine, Jani Lane (the lead singer of buttrock/hairmetal kings Warrant) is quoted as saying the following about the fading out of his kind of music and the rise of "alternative" music: "...I think alternative injected a little energy into everybody, taught everyone camaraderie, taught them to write lyrics beyond 'get drunk, get laid.'

Hey, I was listening to Jed the Fish's Sunday morning show and he made this joke: "Matt Cameron's birthday is coming up this Thursday. What will he be getting for his birthday? Turkey Drumsticks!!" You know how corny that guy is, Miguel. Richard Blade is a cool DJ too, but I wish he would play some old Soundgarden during "Flashback Sundays". Hey, I met him at South Coast Plaza this weekend!! Were you there? The november pictures of KROQ were not all that great. They should have Soundgarden pics next year. I wonder why there weren't any on the calendar this year. As far as the Oasis brothers bashing SG, I never heard that rumor before. I can't stand Oasis anyway. Their bashing SG makes me dislike them even more. Lastly, this note is especially for seth. You may be a busy man and all, but where is Matt's birthday card??

I'm so tired. I didn't get back from Nashville until 5:15 this morning. I've already slept straight through two of my classes. But the show was awesome (priorities, right?). Anyways, here's the story. THE CROWD: I've never seen so many redneck posers under one roof in my entire life. This was a guaranteed recipe for a moshing *disaster*, and indeed it was. I held my ground in front of Ben for the first half of the show, but I eventually got pushed out. But that was OK because I could still hear just fine from farther back. POND: I didn't arrive at the building until halfway through their set (I grossly underestimated the length of time it takes to drive to Nashville). But I liked what I saw. Their drummer rocks. They kind of reminded me of Green Day, except that they didn't suck. They played with lots of energy, but the crowd really didn't respond. Wonder why. ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT: They really don't play the kind of music I like, but they're a great band nonetheless. The lead singer is pretty funny ("Are you ready to ROCK AND ROLL?" and "Everyone get out your dancin' shoes!"). Their drummer was amazing, too. I liked their shirts. SOUNDGARDEN: I couldn't remember the set list if I tried. But I know they opened with "Spoonman" and also played "Hands All Over" later in the show. The encore songs were "Dusty" and "Jesus Christ Pose." Chris definitely seemed like he was holding back at the beginning of the show. But he eventually pulled out all the stops and gave a great and powerful performance. Ben was hilarious. He had a huge smile on his face for much of the evening. I didn't see him spit at *anyone*. He made a lot of silly faces and goofy gestures with his hands. During "Hands All Over" when Chris sang "gonna' kill your mother," Ben put his hand on his chest (like he'd been shot) and sort of sunk to the ground. I thought that was pretty funny. GENERAL MISBEHAVIOR: During "My Wave" some dickhead in the crowd threw a sweatshirt at Chris and hit him in the face, forcing Chris to stop playing. MEMORABLE QUOTES: "Are you having fun with your little glow in the dark thingies?" (said *very* mockingly) --Chris "Hey! Don't pay for that shit, man! Steal it! Steal it! Fuck that shit!" (I have no idea what he was talking about) --Ben "If you want to give me your sweatshirt, come on stage and *hand* it to me. I'll take it if I don't knock your fucking head off first!" (after being hit with the sweatshirt) --Chris AFTER THE SHOW: Kim stays out on the stage and raises a toast to the crowd with a can of Lite beer. Well, this is all I can remember for now. But if I think of anything else important, I'll let you know. Ross "It would be terrible if the Red Cross BloodMobile got into an accident. No, wait.

SOUNDGARDEN GUITARS as of the D.C. show: Chris: seven Fender American Standard Telecasters one Les Paul (couldn't tell model, but not his old one) one unused guitar (either Gretsch or Les Paul) (he only played the Paul on JCP. Did not play guitar on Ty Cobb, Outshined, Drawing Flies, NTMF) Kim: four Guild S-100s four Fender Telecasters Les Paul studio lite (used on My Wave only) Ben: three Fender basses (p/j active pickups, tele headstocks, no pickguards), three Music Man basses( used for C tunings) Ben also has added a 4x10 cabinet to his usual 2x15 Dylan ------------------------------ From: UnknownFan@aol.com Subject: hype comes to dc hey there-- apparently hype opens here in dc on wednesday. is anyone going to be in town? i think it would be fun if a bunch of us saw it together. anyone else up for this? laura (dee dee--maybe the stool was in dc? or maybe i was projecting? anyone?) ------------------------------ Subject: List stats/Matt's birthday/SOTM From: seth The list now has more than 700 subscribers! Thanks, everyone. For those who were wondering, there will be a birthday "celebration" on the Web page for Matt. I hope to have it finished by tonight (read: if it doesn't get done tonight, it may not get done in time). December's Song Of The Month may be late (again). I have this problem budgeting my time: I spend too much of it on school and not enough on the Web page. I'm heading to New York on Wednesday night, and won't be back until Sunday, so I'm not sure yet if the SOTM will debut on Dec 1 or if it will have to wait until Dec 2. Hell, I haven't even chosen the song yet. :) seth ------------------------------ From: Lynne Low Subject: BUTOW video, LA concert and new friends.. I finally saw the BUTOW video!

I can't believe that I'll be seeing them live in one week! Seven short days! I'll make sure to take some good mental notes/observations. I want to thank all the people who have privately welcomed me to the list. You are great! Lynne ------------------------------ From: Luck's Last Match Subject: sg is known for... Well, sorry about pulling a nothingman w/ posts (no, i'm not taking anyone's money and running), but i had a really interesting time en mi clase de espaniol today. My teacher said that she went to stone Temple Pilots at the Dean Dome Saturday, and so i said to her : "Mi concierto fue mejor que tuyo." (My concert was better than yours.) Then she asked who it was, and i told her it was Soundgarden, and she said: "Me gusta Chris Cornell. Es muy guapo." (I like Chris Cornell, he's very good looking.) And then my friend from high school, who i am fortunate enough to take spanish with, said "El tiene ojos bonitos" (He has pretty eyes) And so i was happy that they didn't say oh, that black hole sun band, but i am depressed that they recognized Chris for his looks and not for his voice. Just had to share. Adios. -j "Stand up and everyone will see your holiness" -Soundgarden. ------------------------------ From: Ross Filipek Subject: Nashville Part II. . . I forgot to mention something in my review of the Nashville show. At the beginning of "BUTOW," Matt picked up a guitar and helped create the "noise" before the song actually started.

okay, first i leave with my friend megan to get to my dad's work so he can drive us and my brother there. it's about 4:30-5. but we get to the Electric factory at around 5:30 and fly out of the car and get in line. i couldn't believe it, but we were only like the 5th and 6th people in line! it was great! exactly how i had planned! so we wait outside fo an hour and a half in FREEZING cold weather (i have a vicious cough and flu to prove it) while i'm trying to decide how to stick my camera down my pants without the onlooking bouncers seeing me. i also have this weird thing i made, kinda of a sign, to get on stage somehow. it ended up on stage, but after everyone but kim had gotten off, so i don't think anyone ever picked it up. it said "erin, susan & Soundgarden- thanks for everything. love ya guys- SOMMS@mit. edu." i hope they got it. so we get in, my camera makes it through the really easy inspection and i look ahead and see tons of empty space and a makeshift wooden barrier. then i remember "shirts!" so we snag one each of the long sleeved ones. i'm kicking myself now for getting that and missing the JCP shirt. :( oh well, i have one at least. now, as i'm shoving money back into my wallet and tying the shirt around my waist, me and megan are bolting for the barrier and get front row spots...center stage. it was great. it was like my dream come true. okay, long wait, maybe over and hour, then i start to see movement backstage and hear people to the left of us screaming "matt! matt!" but i can't see him. then i see somebody else walking up. my god it's ben! he's so adorable! i can't believe how good looking he is in person. i eventually see matt stick his head out around a speaker and get this huge grin. i'm really at SG and that's really matt and ben. it was great. then tenderloin comes on and ben and matt and someone else, the lead guitarist for tenderloin i think, go up to the microphone. ben is staring right at me while he's saying "ladies and gentlemen welcome our friends...this is their last night touring with us..." and then matt and the other guy say "tenderloin!" at the same time. was cute. ben moves to my right and behind a speaker, but i can still see him so i watch him. matt has vanished. ben was signing some stuff to the balcony crowd above and threw a wadded up piece of paper into the crowd. i even caught him doing some ridiculous funky da ce. was funny. the TL singer is thie huge man who flicks quarters out of his flabby stomach into the crowd. blech, he was pretty gross, but funny as hell. about 3/4 through TL's set, ben and matt come on stage to join them for a song. both take off their shirts (mmm...) and ben does this funny as shit impersonation of the lead singer flicking quarters out and the lead guitarist almost loses it. i can't see the drummers for shit, i've got a huge speaker in my way. but i know it's matt cause i saw him sit down. that was it for them after that song and they vanished backstage again. ben wiped his face with a big white towel and went to toss it offstage and it landed on the edge. after it lands, i try to get the bouncer closest to me to go get it. he won't though. even after how badly me and megan had kissed his ass so he wouldn't steal my camera in the encore. :( but i got the bassist's pick, so it was okay, i guess. rocket from the crypt...ugh. they were this awful ska band with some dancing guy who looked too much like mc jagger. the guy couldn't stay still, he really needed to relax. the worst was they came out all in the same outfit, like one big joke. ugh, they were really boring. i couldn't wait for them to get off. but someone in the crowd liked them. the same damn crowdsurfer came over my head each song. then, finally, they get off. after people were throwing beer cups at them, which was seriously rude. okay, then the excitement starts and so does the pushing. idiots in the crowd are moshing with no music playing. the bouncers are freaking and standing in my way and i know SG is coming on soon. they bring out matt's drum kit, then the guitars, then the bass. it was insane, i was on edge. people are really starting to push and megan loses her spot on the wall. i'm too dedicated to this band to leave to help her though, even though i knew i should have. later on, they raised her up and out after she almost passed out due to heat and lack of oxygen. i see susan silver talking to a group of people on the side of the stage, back behind some speakers. i wish i could have taken out my camera and snapped a shot, but i wanted it for later. she's looking good. really nice, long hair. then all of a sudden i see this flash of black. it's kim! it's kim! i'm going nuts, so is the rest of the crowd who obviously saw him too. kim comes on stage followed by ben and matt goes right to his spot behind the drums. chris was kind of behind kim and ben and wow... is he ever a beautiful human. but so tiny! i couldn't believe how skinny he was! not that he looked sick at all, just so different than most of the photos i have of him. chris comes to the front and the first thing you notice is his hair. it's huge, and very distinguishing. and how pale he is, and his big blue eyes. he has on a tight gray shit and black jeans. ben has on a tight blue? or gray? shirt too and black jeans. kim has on a Corrosion of conformity shirt and just regular jeans. never did see what matt as wearing. not Bball shorts though. :) chris goes right to the mic and starts talking about how "sorry we missed you guys on lollapolooza, but that was metallica's fault" (crowd goes nuts) "but we came here on our own and had fun anyway..." then right into Spoonman and the crowd went *insane*! i couldn't believe it! i was crushed against that little board wall by at least 1500 people and it was crazy! crowdsurfers everywhere, bouncers going crazy trying to keep track of them, me trying to breathe. the girl next to me has already been pulled out by a bouncer by the time SG launches into an amazing version of Let Me Drown. wow, it was beyond what i had expected. people are exiting left and right, and i think i got kicked in the head here... i can't remember now. crowd surfers are coming faster than you can put yr arms in the air to block their dr martins. one guy is the spitting image of the 1992 BMF chris and even has the BMF wheel tatooed on the small of his back. very sexy. after Let Me Drown, they play pretty noose (he hit those notes no problem!) and BIMH. during BIHM, they played the video out of order on a big screen behind them. this is the first i notice of a background thing going on. chris sounds great, kim's fingers are lightning and ben is making serious eye contact with me. i can now sort of see matt, but only when chris speads his legs to play guitar. during spoonman, when ben sang his first four or five lines, he made one of those duck faces with his hand and it sang along with him. was funny. made eye contact then too. after BIMH, chris goes to the mic and dedicates the next song to lou? and someone and says "this is only cause they wanted to hear this, so this really is just for them...cause they wanted to hear it..." and mumbles a bit more and then the start playing. oh my god! it's hands all over! wow! i freaked out so bad, i was so excited. i was so happy they were playing this. when chris starts singing, he holds his hand up in the air and a few of us front row survivors reach out to him, even though the stage is 8+ feet in the air and at least 8 feet away. it was an intense moment for me. after that, things start to get blurry. possibly FoBD is played, i can't be sure. but i do remember chris yelling at us to shut up cause the drummer from TL comes out and brings them all these orange drinks in clear plastic cups. chris says "these are (something) friday's now... but about midnight tonight these'll be called frrr... fruffff..." and starts slurring the words really hysterically. really funny. they go into helter skelter at one point and it is *gorgeous*. chris is quiet and subdued and it's just wonderful. then they slowly slide into boot camp and it was almost enought to make me weep. god, it was such a perfect moment. "i must be tame and cool..." unbelievable. the rest of the show is a HUGE blur. plenty of photo ops, chris running over to kim and bobbing his head back and forth until kim cracked up. ben doing his high stepping. ben didn't spit once either, which was nice of him. :) and right before outshined, chris took off his shirt. wow, he really is thin. but not bad thin, he's still in good shape. i liked it. :) basically, the set list was: spoonman, let me drown, pretty noose, BIMH, hands all over, FoBD, rusty cage (neat intro, i realized what song it was before the people areound me did), outshined, helter skelter/boot camp, search & destroy (i'm not positive, because i've never heard this song before), BUTOW, kickstand, dusty, ty cobb.... ty cobb was fun. chris was running around a little, flipping off the crowd and getting us to do it back. and the tenderloin drummer sat in for this one.... my wave, slaves & bulldozers, NTMF (encore), JCP(encore), and this incredible chris solo version of BHS. wow, i would really kill for a copy of that. really beautiful. they left after playing slaves & bulldozers, i'm pretty sure, but came back out soon and started with NTMF. i was disappointed by this, because i was really looking forward to the possibility of hearing Mailman live, as that's one of my fav SG songs, but it sounded alright live i guess. i had whipped out my camera and was now bouncer dodging for shots. the one guy put his hand on it and told me to put it away, so i sort of did. but i realized that everytime they went to grab a crowd surfer, there was no way they could watch me too, so that was when i snapped shots. after NTMF, they kicked into this ripping version of JCP, but it seemed a bit short. matt intro'd it great, really good drum solo, but the song was just short. i'm snapping shots left and right and hanging on for my life, hoping to get something good out of the film. bouncer sees me with the camera again and threatens me so i pretended to put it away again but took 2 more after that. :) as it turns out, my dad and brother saw kim down by the soundboard (which is in the middle of the floor???) but didn't know who it was so didn't bug him. i got my photos back and they're nothing excitable, just one half decent on of chris and one half black one of chris and a good shot of the sign outside. SOMMSters! sorry i never found any of you guys! i bolted for that front row spot and never moved from it until the concert was long over. i looked for you guys, michele and aaron, never did see anyone to fit yr descriptions though. sorry! i got CRUSHED! front row is a good view, but extremely painful the next couple of days. i won't do it for any band besides SG. i have brusies on my elbows and knees and had a knot on my head from getting kicked and i thought i had a broken rib or two. really bad. as for contact with them, i made tons of eye contact and expressions with ben, kimmy smiled at me once, and when chris flung water out into the crowd i caught his eye. so i was happy. all in all, it was a great experience and i can't wait to do it again! love ya! mind riot ____ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i'm tied within i'm luck's last match struck in the pouring down wind... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ From: gwm@starnetinc.com Subject: Hype in Chicago?

One fan who bashes the others, are no longer a fan.(Mr. Apple) I'm sooo pissed I can't see the STP show tonight...parents.....don't they suck? There is more soundgarden content in here some place. OK, well, there is one question that I have for you that is half- soundgarden related. I heard Hater is supposed to have a new Album(not vinal now people) out in early '97. I was wondering if it was true, or is my mind wondering again. Now, more Soundgarden questions answered. I wouldn't give it a second thought if Chris turned gay, or if the whole band turned gay. You might loose some love-struck girls, but hell, at least the real (over 700) fans will be left. I am one of the yet shameful (sure, whatever) bunch of gals that loved Chris' looks at the same time as the music, but at least I heard the music first, and have sinced been indulged by it. Another question for y'all. How do you guys see SG's future? 'scuse me it was asked before, but I was, of course, curious, how the most devoted fans thought about it. Just look at the music changes that have been going on. who knows what new wave of music might over take this country, or anywhere else in the world. Just a question to ponder. working on my report....How soundgarden where the makers of the so-called "Seattle Sound", the original preety noose ------------------------------ From: gwm@starnetinc.com Subject: Re: The movie [Hype!] Forwarded from the 'Release' Pearl Jam mailinglist: >here's the address for the Hype! website: > >http://www.leonardo.net/hype!/ > >-Johann Dave Miller ********************************************* *I like to trade bootlegs. * *Check out my Pearl Jam homepage at: * *http://pwp.starnetinc.com/gwm/pearl.htm * *You can find my bootlist there * *PEARL JAM AND SOUNDGARDEN RULE! * ********************************************* ------------------------------ From: Nemesis-Divine Goddess of Retribution Subject: Re: Hype in Chicago? yeah, lemme know too!

D. I was wondering the same thing. I thought I read from one of the posts some time ago that Matt Cameron reads the posts sometimes. RoseeMisst ------------------------------ From: "Jack Parsons" Subject: Let yourself go, let it run through your veins. Hey Guys, Sorry I've delayed this long in getting out my Nashville Soundgarden review. What can I say...Starting off: me and 2 friends get there a little early I bought the SG "Caricature"shirt and we are looking for our seats, right? Well, we are in section 'G.' A sign says 'Sections A-H' and points upstairs, oh great, upstairs. But don't worry...we cannot find our seats, so I asked the security guy. He points to this enormous space that has been cleared for one big mob right in front of the stage...he says "you've got floor seats." (!!!) Well, we find our seats and because so many people are already there we are about 40 feet from the stage!! Pond opened first...they were really good, but enough about them. Next was Rocket from the Crypt who really sucked. Every time they played a song it was the SAME EVERY TIME. Some guys behind us were chanting, "F- you, you suck...F- you, go home!!" Anyway, Rocket finally ended to let the crew prepare for SG. It did take a while. But who could possibly say that it was not worth it?? SG came out and opened with a great version of Spoonman. Kim was wearing his Tool shirt and black jeans. Chris had on what looked like his shirt from the Burden video...black short-sleeve button down. Ben had on just a black t-shirt and black leather pants. From what I could see Matt was wearing a white t-shirt and shorts. Ben was shockingly calm the ENTIRE show. He only flicked us off ONCE, and the rest of the time just stood there. Then they played Searching with My Good Eye Closed. Chirs screamed "To the sky" very well. His voice is back, have no fear. Next was one of my personal fav's Let Me Drown. Afterwards Chris says something to the crowd about their "glow in the dark thingys." Then something like, "This is the Enormo-dome. Time for Monster, Monster trucks...Carbon monoxide poisoning!!!" Next was Pretty Noose. Then Burden...during which they showed the sand dunes and the hand from the video and the burning tree on a projection screen right behind them. Then came My Wave which was followed by a very impressive, long solo. During the song people had been throwing shirts at Chris. After the song he said, "If you want to throw something to me then put it on stage and ask me if I want it. If I don't then I'll throw your f-in' shit back!! Just keep it OFF MY WAVE!!!" Then Chris put down his guitar for Ty Cobb. I won't EVEN bother explaining this one to all of you because I couldn't do it justice...has to be seen to feel the energy. The chorus holds a flicking off battle between the crowd and Chris. Then the band left the stage for Chris to do his thing. He played Black Hole Sun all by his lonesome. Which really accented the lyrics. Needless to say, the crowd sang alone. Then the band came back for a good version of everbody's fav Outshined. Wow. Then Rusty Cage and Black Days... Then they played Helter Skelter which melted into Boot Camp, much better live. Then everyone left the stage for part of the Blow Up video to be shown. The second time around when they flashed the word "enemy" on the screen they showed Nixon and Clinton. Then everyone came back and riled the crowd with Blow Up the Outside World. Then the played Rhinosaur which was very good. I was surprised to hear the beginning of Hands All Over. Yes, they played it... It was absolutely great. "All over the eastern border." Everyone's favorite closer came next Slaves and Bulldozers. Towards the end Chris left stage and came back with a lighted cigarette. He took a puff and stuck it in Kim's mouth. Kim smoked it for a minute, and at the end flicked it into the air and played "baseball" with the cigarette and his fret board. It almost hit Chris. Then the band left... But they didn't turn the lights on and everybody kept clapping and cheering them to come back. They finally came back after only about 5 min of us beating our hands together and screaming "Come Back!" They played Dusty, good choice. Then after Dusty was over and there was a little silence, I tried to scream but my voice was so worn out...I just couldn't. I knew that they had been playing Jesus Christ Pose at their shows. I had to hear it BAD. I tried to scream I tried and tried but only in vain. Finally before they left or started another song whichever they were planning to do...I got it out...through the noise I screamed "Jesus Christ Pose...Jesus Christ Pose!!!" What did they play, you ask?? JCP. I loved it...Matt started off with his drum part, I could feel each beat right through me. They extended the beginning solo a little and Chris started in screaming...Wow. I can't say anything else. I knew the words and they were drooling out of my worn throat. But I was SO into it...I couldn't believe myself. When he started singing "Like it's the coming of the Lord...." I could feel the music coursing trough my veins. It was taking me over. And at the end when Matt finished drumming he threw his drumsticks and banked them off the cymbals into the crowd!! I severely encourage all who can see them to DEFINITELY SEE THEM. I hope they have as good an experience as I did...Thanks for listening.

On the 'Songs for Ozzy' EP, there's a song that has the same line as in Rusty Cage ("hit me with a hand of broken nails"). Now, it's either "stolen prayer", "heartfist", or "unholy war" that this line is in. Are these old Ozzy songs, sorry, I'm not really a big Ozzy fan. Did Chris get this line from Ozzy. Or if Chris wrote the songs on the Ozzy EP, why did he use the same line. TOO MANY QUESTIONS! Thanks for any replies.

So, after I shed a few tears at the missed opportunity, I decided to formally introduce myself to the group so I don't miss out on anymore info... First of all, the Soundgarden newsgroup has a totally different vibe (like the majority of the subscribers are age 11, maybe?) from Somms and I already can tell there is a sense of community about this group - so, I'm most impressed. Secondly, I am 25, live in Chicago and have loved this band from the moment I heard them in '90 (believe it or not - my dad had Louder than Love in '89 - way before I did! - Do I need to say he's cool?). I firmly believe that to appreciate SG as the best band on the planet is to know where their music originated...which definitely wasn't on mainstream radio. For those of you in Chicago - can you believe XRT finally started playing SG? The only other song this adult-contemporary-thirtysome- thing radio station was ever cool enough to play was "Seasons" which is cool. Finally, the 11/9 show was the fourth time I've seen SG. Other shows are: 1. Chicago, May '92, Riviera (With Monster Magnet) 2. East Troy, Wisconsin, July '92, Lollapalooza at Alpine Valley - you know the line-up 3. Chicago, June '94, Aragon (With Tad, 11) 4. Chicago, Nov '96, Aragon At Toni's suggestion, I am going to relate the best show I witnessed which was on the second stage at Lollapalooza. With Matt and Ben standing on the sides of the tiny 2nd stage, Chris and Eddie V. sang TOTD tunes (Say Hello 2 Heaven, for sure) others I can't recall..but, at one point in their mini-set, Chris payed some kid in the crowd $20.00 for his "Vedder for President in '92" T-shirt, put it on himself for the rest of the show and then gave it back to the kid. Did anyone else see this? Or, when they covered "Cop Killer" and the crowd started a sod war with the band who were whipping it right back at us (even Matt was throwing huge chunks of sod from behind his kit)! Too bad I had to share the two great shows with a million other morons who were most likely there to see the Peppers or Ministry (not that there's anything wrong with that..it's just less intimate). Which brings me to the Riv '92 show, intimate as it'll ever be, probably. Chris surfs over to the Roman columns and climbs up to the second balcony, hangs out for about a minute with the fans, (during Slaves solo)and then dives back out onto the main floor. Now, that I kind of miss from Chris, but I guess he just can't do that anymore with the size of the crowds today. Thanks for listening to me (and SG)! Stephanie ------------------------------ From: gwm@starnetinc.com Subject: Hype is playing soon in Chicago Sorry to post this to the whole list, but I don't know everyone on this list that lives in Chicago. I emailed the owner of the Hype! webpage and he told me that Hype! will be playing soon in Chicago. The info will be posted on the page next week. Hope to see some of you there.

I do have to say that, IMHO, Chris is just THE most mesmerizing performer - you just can't stop watching him, can you? We noticed (with binoculars) that Kim sat on the side of the stage (behind the amps) during Pond's set - he seemed very relaxed (smiled a lot) and he was wearing a fanny pack, which just seems so, I don't know, "normal" :) It was great getting to meet Laura and her brother Rich and Marianna and Carlos!! It really is a treat to put faces with the names. I'm sorry you couldn't go see Hype with us on Sun, Laura; Be sure to go see it when it opens in DC. I'm so glad that your seats were next to ours (what a coincidence!!) I looked in Sun and Mon's papers for a review but didn't see one. Anybody else see one?
