the word 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the message body. Please DO

WHY NO ARMCHAIRS?
There were no Magical Armchair digests sent on Thursday or Friday,
Nov. 13 and 14 (Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the Americas) because
of a problem associated with an upgrade to the mail handler at
il.fontys.nl. As a result, anything sent since Wednesday afternoon
sometime probably didn't get through. If you posted something and don't
see it in this issue, try resending it. If you tried to unsubscribe but
you're still getting this, try again.
EVERYBODY HATES RAYMOND
The multiple copies of issue #462 that have appeared in recent
digests have come from one particular user who may
or may not know what he is doing. I have tried contacting him several
times (it's happened before) but never received a response, so he has
been removed from the list. Thanks everyone for being patient and for
not posting complaints to the list.

Yes, as Azusa said, we (Bus Stop)have a cd out in Japan.
So I hope all of you in Japan can get a chance to pick one up, it would
help us out a lot!
Unfortunately, right now that is the only place where it is being sold.
Its being put out by a Japanese label, I'm not sure if there are any
import possibilities for other countries right now, I'll check.
Azusa,thanks for the mention, and let me know what you think.

>CD sleeve ,magazine and ad.
I'm not real nuts about him using that so heavily but I really dont have
any control over how he sells them, plus I guess I'll just have to get
used to that sort of thing (as if I'm not already)
take care

ps- for anyone wondering, you can still e-mail me if you are looking for
bus stop or snuzz cd's

Subject: SoCal BFFers?
Wow... I'm SO behind on this list, it isn't even funny.
If you were in the Los Angeles area, you'd know by now there were several
"technical difficulties" with the broadcast of "Sessions." It glitched a bit
during BFF, and came to a halt for a brief time during Beck. Yeesh. =Þ
Oh yes... I think there are a lot of Los Angeles based BFF fans here. Who is
going to BOTH BFF shows in the area? There's the one at the El Rey on
Sunday, Nov. 30th. I got the tix to that, even though I haven't gotten a
ride secured just yet (doh!). Ben Folds Five play Saturday too at Club
Caprice in Redondo Beach the night before, Nov. 29th. The place is 18 and
over.
I was wondering if I should even both going to this show. Sure, it'll be a
smaller crowd and probably closer to where I live. Unfortunately, I'm wary
of 18 and over places, especially on the weekend. I recently went and saw
Man or Astroman? under similar circumstances. The first show they did at the
Hollywood Palace was simply amazing and wonderful. The second night at this
little bar in Long Beach proved less than stellar. =Þ I dunno... I still
can't tie down a ride for the El Rey show, so I should probably work on
that... ha, ha! 8^)
Oh yeah... anyone see or hear what the opening band Travis looks like? I saw
a video of them this past weekend.... made me want to take a nap. Am I
unfair?
