Subject: TMBG: Englewood, NJ concert

That was an awesome concert. i was wondering if anyone else noticed that
Michael Shelley was there. As I was walking out he was talking to some guy
and the guy said "we just finished mixing your new album". I think his web
site says something about it coming out this fall.

It also means "drummer."  A drum set is a "batterie."  Dr. Worm's statement
"I like to play the drums" would be, I'm pretty sure, "j'aime jouer a la
batterie."

They had those postcards at the show on Saurday. I asked Operator Dot and
she said that it's not a puzzle, that they are all the same.

   The Col. Sanders guy is the organ grinder from the website. All the art is from the website. I was thinking that maybe there were six or so different cards that when you put them together, they lead you to the Johns hidden treasure or something like that.

I hate to bother whoever it was that gave the URL for info about the Prospect
Park concert, but could you give it to me as well? I had it and all but I
seem to have somehow deleted the email. Unless AOL did it itself. Evil, evil
AOL.

Thanks if you can help--

Subject: Re:TMBG: stuff

Actually, you'd probably have better luck asking who's NOT going.  Everyone
probably figures that if everyone who's going says they're going, we'll never
get anything else said.  That's the only reason I can think of why everyone
hasn't said they're going..... Unless I'm going to be one of the only three
people attending....  hey, that works for me!!!

Well, I'm not going.  I'd love too, but the concert is over 2000 miles from
where I live.  Oh well.  I hope the rest of y'all have a blast!

I'm going too.  I haven't been to Prospect Park before but a friend of mine
who lives in Brooklyn tells me it's great.  I hope the weather improves for
it.
