I was there. I thought the 11/16-11/17 shows were cancelled? I could be wrong. But if anyone has 11/15, I'd be your slave for it. =) -Rev.

What have we done to suddenly provoke this outpouring of conscientiousness??? Why is a list full of people, who habitually brag (either on the list, or on their own homepages) about all of the SG merchandise and expensive CDs that they own, suddenly so outraged at how some fan decides to spend their money. Remember that something is worth whatever someone will pay for it and everyone will pay varying amounts for different items. Money is a ridiculous concept and one way or another, it will be spent toward something. High priced bootleg CDs, videos, import singles, even internet access seem just as ridiculous to some people, but who cares? Spend your money on whatever you like and dont let anyone who doesnt use their entire salary to feed starving children, tell you otherwise. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 23:29:15 +0800 From: Raven Nation Subject: Re: Lunch With Chris fellow bleeders, alot of ppl would pay big money to see those ppl who hev affected & influenced their lives at a grand scale...what more if they hev da chance to talk to them & hev lunch with them....chris maybe such a person to vikki....da guy has affected my life too, & so do da rest of sg... - killyrbf http://fly.to/bfkill ' am da single-handed consequence of youth irate a many mans gospel, yes, i feel, i breathe, i hate ' --- wolfgang ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 10:09:10 -0800 From: Mark Miller Subject: Lunch, charity, respect? I have sort of been following this lunch thing and I am not sure if this has been discussed. Do you think, based only on the impression Soundgarden gives us of Chris (which could just be an act) that he would even respect someone who pays to eat with him? Sure it is for charity, but it is easy to argue that you give to charity only to make yourself feel better (that warm fuzzy feeling someone mentioned). I think it is very difficult to prove that there are any real selfless acts. Now this is completely based on CC's lyrics so it may be completely invalid, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who would think about that kind of stuff. On the other hand, he is doing it for "charity" as well. In any case have fun at the lunch and try not to over-analyze like I do. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 14:32:57 -0500 From: Michele Subject: Re: Lunch with Chris Personally, I think it is a good cause & I am glad to hear a sommster is meeting him. I would donate that much money to an animals shelter or even more. If I had it & if Chris happen to be part of the deal well damn it that would motivate me even more. =) I want to congrats Vikki on winning. I agree with the other Sommsters who think Chris would prefer a fan then somebody who is filthy rich, you know those social types. I can understand why some of you wouldn't pay that much to have lunch with Chris but, think about if you already had the money & were going donate it anyways, why not? Hell, I would do it just so he wouldn't have to he lunch with some filthy rich type. Anyways that's just me.

This was my very first concert (what a great way to start...huh?). I'd kill to get a descent CD-R copy of this/ If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated> Thanks, Barry "And I'm lost, behind Words I'll never find..." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 21:31:55 PST From: "Lorca V." Subject: Re: Lunch with Chris My 2 cents... ~~You pay $25 to go to a concert. Someone else pays $3600 for a lunch. In truth, when a band tours they are simply performing for the $$. & Mr. Cornell is just being a philanthropist. No one gets hurt by it. When you think about it, we're just contributing to the turning of our beautiful capitalistic way of life. ~~Hypothetically, if the band is hostile during the performance, it's a short-lived angst & in the end they are content. This could be likened to Mr. Cornell. If he happens to not be very cordile that night (I think he'll be very charasmatic though), it's probably just the surroundings. But overall he'll probably be glad to have contributed to a good cause & to get some feedback from a fan about the album. ~~Whatever you do with your money is your deal. But when you've got the dinero you might as well spend it on worthwhile things. & hey, Ms. Vikki Anselmo is helping out some poor animals in the process. It's a win-win situation.
