Subject: Random question

	This is something that popped into my head today as I was getting
dressed. Everyone knows about how during Steven's Last Night.... the phone
rings. What I want to know is this: Who was calling? This question will
separate the fans from the fanatics. Enjoy all! And no, I won't torment
you with a top ten list. ;)

Subject: dreams and twelve thing 

I finally had my first BFF related dream last night.  In the dream,
I had stumbled onto some secret BFF documents. They were copies of
notebooks belonging to their manager.  The notebooks contained info
regarding the planning of the Fall tour (after this whole Horde thing
is over).  On one page, there was a listing of geographical areas
along with comments regarding each area, as in "New England - end
of October" and stuff like that.  I scanned the list looking for
"upstate New York" or "Rochester" and couldn't find anything.  Then
I noticed a listing titled "Erie Canal towns" (Rochester is on the
canal) and next to it someone had scribbled "difficult".  Oh well,
I thought, they're never going to come to Rochester.  The dream
isn't too far from reality - I can't imagine they ever will come to
Rochester.  And the 'secret document' is probably the result of 
watching one too many X-files episodes.

Regarding this twelve business:  I scanned the list and it just 
doesn't seem fair - many of my absolute faves on each record are
pitted against one another.  I can't bear to make such difficult
choices - I love all of the songs!

<< you know how people are always trying to think of ways to identify other
 armchairites at the shows? >>

On the DMB mailing list, Nancies, we had the same problem. Someone came up
with the idea of candy necklaces..it seems to have worked very well!
