Subject: she is right
i agree with GLYCRNGRL, i would just like to ssay that she is right. some of
you people are so incredicbly critical of us other BFF fans that it is almost
a disrespect to the band. I mean, for example, when one asked where they got
the name, many of us have heard something different and those that oppose one
person's theory does not make it wrong. it is what they heard so you do not
have to go crashing down on them calling them stupid--cause you are the ones
that end up sounding stupid!!

Subject: concert
Hey, i have a question. I am sure that many of you have seen BFF in concert
and i was jsut wondering where you saw them and when. I mean, have any of you
seen them more than twice? Where were the most rocking of them?? i saw them
only once and that is when i realized how much i truly did love them. i mean,
i liked them before and i listened to their cd, but i never knew how much i
loved them until i saw their awesome live performance. they are so GOOOOD!!!!

A yoga instructor???? Anyone know how they met?
Also, if anyone has sheet music for OAD or any BFF songs online, please email
me. It would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I have next to me, right now, Alternative Press, the May 1998 issue. If
you have this, and haven't seen the ad for Robert's bass (with a great
picture) turn to about the 6th page and look!

This one's for Teemu (Timmy) (Timbo) or whatever he prefers to be called...
I have a Beanie Baby, the snake, in fact, latched around my
microphone...does this mean my microphone is really valuable now?
OK, maybe that's a bad comparison. But I'll tell ya what. My WAEA has the
conversations too. If for some reason I had the copy that didn't, I would
gladly pay you extra for the original pressing. Like they always say in
those goofy antiques columns in the paper, the bashed-in Coke bottle with
the 1979 Houston Astros logo is only really valuable to the Coke bottle
collector.
If for some reason you decide to profit off some other fan's lateness in
buying his/her copy and sell yours off, you _might_ get a buck or two extra.
But Joe Garage Sale? Don't count on it.
No longer confined to AOL e-mail,

<< It's a double set, one with "All the Pretty People" as a B-side and the
other with "Mitchell Lane" I think.>>
Okay, everyone out there that knows a hell of a lot more than I do (probably
most of you), I bought part 2 and the cover said that the B-side was "For All
the Pretty People", but mine has "All Shook Up" on it instead. Does this make
mine special or retarded? Just wondering.
Cheerio,

In the Whatever and Ever Amen CD, Ben thanks Pillow, Toshi and Akira. Would
any of you fellow armchairers happen to know who these people are?
Curious and awaiting an answer,

Subject: ben does what???
ok..so i dont think this is true, but i thought it would add a little humor to
everyones day.
my friend will swear to me that the name ben folds five is a subtle reference
to masterbating....ben has five fingers and he must fold them over to do the
deed...so, well, you get the jist. when i informed him that bens last name is
folds he just responded with a weak "oh."
it made me laugh.

Subject: steinway on tour
Just a piece of Trivia, last time BFF were on tour in Aus, Steinway
took Ben's piano off him, and he had to find a replacement because "of
the disreputable behaviour shown on a recent popular TV show (The Midday
Show) and because the Prince of Wales (the pub they played at in
Melborne) was a less than desirable venue. Ben told us all to boycott
Steinway shops ;}

I think they could do a great cover of Life, In a Nutshell by the
Barenaked Ladies.
S'all from now,
