 Since we seem to be posting shows these days, just want everyone to know
 that Ben Folds has confirmed for March 9 at Moe's. Take care.

 does anyone know if the lyric offer in the indie release of bff apply to
 canada as well? also, i'm in desperate need of possible canadian tour
 dates.

 please e-mail at: bartok@fox.nstn.ca

 thanks a million,
 ed

    [Ed: If you're referring to the blurb on the CD on where to write for
 lyrics, I don't see why it wouldn't work for Canada too. The address is
 the band's in Chapel Hill and while they're on tour there probably isn't
 anyone to answer mail - the band have been doing that themselves - but if
 you have access to US postage I'm sure they'd appreciate the 52 cents. If
 you need to see the lyrics sooner, look on the web pages under
 Discography. -fjm]

 I'm looking for bootleg copies of any of BFF's concerts.  I don't really
 have anything to trade, but I can send a couple bucks to cover the tape,
 postage, etc.

 Subject: BFF in FL?

 Wow, this mailing list is great.  I guess it's understood that I really
 dig the band too.  My only question is when will they be coming to
 Florida?  Gainesville, specifically.  Hope sometime soon.

 Subject: Tokyo show

 My girlfriend went to BFF show at Shibuya Quatro on 25th. She told me that;
 *There were crowded people
 *Ben didn't stand up on the piano
 *They played "Radio star" and Hendrix song called "crossroad" something
 (sorry, I don't know the Jimi stuff so much, please correct it Frank!)

 She's not an "enthusiastic" BFF fan like us so those are all the info. I got.

      What is the name of the compilation with BF5's version of this song?
  What is or was the release date?  Where can it be found?

 weeks ago. -fjm]
