I've had an image in my head from the beginning of the discussion about that auction. I worked at non-profit organizations for years as a social worker and I know the kind of people who generally give lots of money to these things. I picture poor Chris at lunch with either some nouveau riche socialite type who will take it quite literally that he or she "bought" Chris for lunch, or a rich old lady who plans on leaving her vast fortune to her thirty cats. And neither of these people would give a damn about Chris' music. Personally I think Chris would have preferred having lunch with one of us. At least we'd have something in common with him....or if nothing else we'd certainly be devoted :) And I agree with Lance - $3600 is too low for our boy. Just proves my point that they just didn't appreciate him like we do. Kathie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 18:11:20 PST From: Rachel Reisman Subject: Lunch With Chris?? Many times on this list I have been the poster that has actually said the things I know so many of you are thinking but never actually say. Continuing in this tradition.... I know most of you would *die* to have lunch with Chris. But did any of you actually picture how he'd act?? He seems to be a somewhat shy, reserved man. I think lunch with a total stranger would make him squirm. I would definitely pass up the chance to see that. That doesn't mean that I'm a "bad fan" or whatever. I don't love him any less than the rest of you do. In any event, I have a feeling that a few of you know exactly what I'm talking about :) Rachel* (IWIWSS?) PS---all you iMUSIC people...we need to get our act together.

The lunch and listening hasn't taken place yet, but rest assured when it does, Chris _will_ be having lunch with one of us -- I won the bidding frenzy. :-) -Vikki ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I agree that Chris is "reserved," and I thought about this seriously before I made a firm decision to bid on the lunch. In consideration of Chris, I asked if my boyfriend could join us. I've been told by PAWS that this shouldn't be a problem. I assume that Chris won't be alone either. It's been explained to me that the lunch and listening is supposed to be extremely informal. I'm a serious fan and so is my boyfriend. We'll treat him with the respect he's earned. I've met Chris a couple of times and seen how inappropriate some fans act around him. He's surprisingly poised when it comes to handling awkward situations -- even graceful. -Vikki :-) ________________________________________________________________ Get secure free e-mail that you don't need Web access to use from Juno, the world's second largest online service.
