Yup, it was a great show last night!
(well I hope 2 more shows which I'm going are greater than tonight.)
It was the first night this time but the boys didn't seem nervous or
anything at all. Quite relaxed actually.
Okay, here's the set on May 9th:
Missing the War
Philosophy
The Last Polka
Selfless, Cold and Composed
Kate
Alice Childress
Brick (Robert on the contrabass)
Steven's Last Night in Town (Ben on the piano-harmonica)
Jackson Cannery
Theme from Dr.Pyser (Cool song!!)
One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces
Fair
Where's Summer B.?
Battle of Who Could Care Less
Ben's word "it's about going to order a pizza in Chapel Hill"=)
Kane o kaese (Dumped in japanese) ----everyone was singing...=)
Underground (Battle of Darren...=)
Encore: Julianne
It was just hilarious, fun night!
A bit short though. An hour and 15 minutes was like a moment...
well it's like concentrated juice, lots of fun in a small cup...
Sorry i can't write review or something, it's not easy to write those
in english......hey Ayumu and Azusa, post what you thought!
..they're armchairites I met there.
Okay see you guys soon!
chiori =)
p.s. I taped the show. It's NOT dat or anything which gives good quality,
so the sound is sometimes too harsh, but you can tell how fun it was.
If interested in trading, mail me privately.

I'll go with the Angry Dwarfs as our nickname, but only if we make sure
it's the Angry Dwarfs as opposed to the Angry Dwarves.

Subject: Central Park Show
Does anyone know when the tix for the Central Park show go on sale? Or where
to find out? For anyone who hasn't seen a show at the Central Park
Summerstage, FYI, you don't really need a ticket (!!!!!) to hear the show, as
anyone can put a blanket down behind the fence and hang out. But, if you
want to see the boyz, and get near the stage, you need a tick.

How can you justify the use of Angry Dwarves. Listen to the song, what
it is talking about is that Ben is the angry dwarf, singing to 200 Solemn
Faces, that will eventually see that he is good. We are the audience not
the lead singer, and we cannot say that we are on an equal level with
Ben. He is one of our gods in this polytheistic musical world we live
in, or you wouldn't still be on the listserv. Because we can never be
the angry dwarf, the name Solemn Faces is much more justified.
I hereby move that Solemn faces be accepted as the name of our unruly
club of the Magical Armchair.

Sam Lewis had e-mailed me in response to something I had posted on this list.
If anybody knows him, please tell him that he can't receive any more mail -
he's full. That means he won't be able to receive anymore of these wonderful
ARMCHAIRS until he deletes some junk! :(
Anybody else who thinks Matt Pinfield is a weiner or who is going to the
Milwaukee BF5 show, feel free to e-mail me.

Subject: five for fighting
Who are these guys? I remember reading about them a little when I first
joined the armchair. Are there five of them, or jest three? Because that
would be the factor making the difference between a ripoff, or merely a bad
imitation.

Hey Fivers,
Tis Joel the baker, with an important message to you who want the
120 Minutes episode taped. I checked with the post office and a
videotape costs 3 Bucks to send. So please make a note of that.
Also for anyone who missed it. Mail me privately<koenij22@uwosh.edu>
if you'd like a copy of 120 Minutes with BFF.
Hope all is well,
Joel the baker....
