Yeah i reckon Chris would be kinda quiet, but holy cow, who cares!!!? At least you get to meet him, which is only just a mere dream for most of us. If i had won the lottery, I would pay ANY amount of money just to meet the great man. He's that fucking good. Who has met him anyway?

He's that fucking good. oaky, no offense to vikki because the money she spent is going to charity, but i just do not think i could pay someone to meet someone. i don't see what kind of quality experience you can get out of spending a huge load of cash to meet another human. there are tons of talented human beings all over this planet, some good as chris, some much better. i have a friend who is a better guitarist than chris cornell, and he levels me a lot on this type of thing when i sit around and watch him play. it's just another human being, and someone i can sit around and watch this amazing music come out of without paying to see it. it's almost as if paying to watch someone play guitar is a silly thing. and it almost seems really inane to pay money to eat lunch and listen to a cd with someone...... famous or not. granted, there is a lot of shimmer and shine on it. it is, after all, chris cornell. but... i couldn't do it myself. there are so many things money can buy, i'd much rather spend it on finding a lot of new bands to like than spending it on having a lunch with chris, then getting indegestion from being so nervous!! :) later, mindriot ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 04:17:14 PST From: Kenny Bungss Subject: I4ve met the god....... well.......just have to tell you this...my dear Sommsters.... : ) this dinner is a pretty cool thing....who wouldn4t wanna have a chat with the man himself...?? !! But I have done a cooler thing ( I think so anyway) When the played in Stockholm-95 , at the monsters of rock ..... Me and my mum !!! we snuck in behind the stage after the show... After tricking us by all the security ( don4t ask me how, the security was pretty dense) we finally got sight of the lockerrooms... Damn what a nice feeling....first I spotted White Zombies door.....i entered and inside sat the bassgirl (don4t remember her name...with her cat....she was really nice and friendly and didn4t seem to bother that we were kind of "uninvited" anyway I ask her where i could find soundgarden.....and she pointed at the wall and said "well , Chris and the bunch are in there" so there i was....just one wall away from my dream............I just went out and saw "Soundgarden lockerroom" There was notime to think i just oppend the door and went in , closed it and turned around.............................what a sight........... inside sat kim, Chris,Mat &ben . All four of them 2 each in a couch... chris was smoking a cigarette and the rest of them were having a beer............that was the longest minute in my life....i couldn4t think of anything to say.............I mean....i you could ask god a guestion...what would you choose ??? So i just said like: "hi guys.......great show" and Chris answered : "Hi..who are you ?? " Well i sorta told him my name and then came this big guy and said ....."hey, who are you ? Are you working here ? " So he threw me out........i didn4t care that much....I had seen them and talked with them.........If only a few words.....but anyway...i4ll never forget when I was in the same room as Soundgarden...call me what you like..i4m sure that all of you would have done and felt the same thing as me.....regardless what you think of this "worshiping-stuff" just wanted to tell you that..........And Vicki.......Say hi from kenny..

Here in Boston, WBCN seems to have put The Day I Tried to Live back into rotation, as I heard it a few times last week. They have also been talking a lot about Matt and Pearl Jam.

ANYwhoski, on what Rach (IWIWSS) was sayin, yeah it would be kinda weird with zeh Chris-meister, cause knowing MY personality I'd probably tip the table over and everything would go wrong. who knows... man, but if i could eat lunch with any of them, it would have to be kim. oh he roks my soks. x )~ lunch would consist of pizza and beer and kool-aid [for me : ) ]. oh dennis... if only some of things were true... ON ANOTHER NOTE... Rach, yes we DO need to get things together... wells, chat yall up later!!! adios and keep on truckin!!! peace, love, hope, faith, soup and s o u n d g a r d e n always groovy, kathleen : )) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 16:01:28 PST From: Rachel Reisman Subject: He's not storage space damnit! <<>> Who?!....ummm...ME!! I gotta go with Niki on this one. I wouldn't buy a lunch with Chris either. Niki said that she'd rather spend her money on other things, but thats not my issue. I just find it to be somewhat awkward to *pay* to spend time with him. Sure, it goes to charity, and its for a good cause...yadda yadda yadda...but, its almost like you're renting out the man for the afteroon! He's a human, not a U-haul :) Don't get me wrong. Vikki, I'm *so* excited for you, and I'm sure you'll love every minute of it. Its just something that I wouldn't do. Rachel* (IWIWSS) <---kinda...not really anymore...)
