Subject: Conan is on. Don't believe the hype!

OK. Now it's rumor-killer time. Whoever said that Conan was cancelled is
a stupid, stupid child and should be cast out to a volcanic island in
the South Pacific with only an annoying dog named Chichi for company.
Conan last night said HIMSELF that the guests were Matt Dillon, Jake
Johannsen, and BEN FOLDS FIVE (which drew a large applause factor too).
12:35 am tonight (EST), yer local NBC station. Still mourning the death
of Carl "Oldy" Olson, by the way...

Hey, I just found this "event profile" of the BFF show in Melbourne 
on the Ticketmaster web site.  Very flattering, not only do they 
classify as an "event" but they actually say some really nice 
things! : )

For Crystal,
It appears we are a little over a year behind in the programming of 
sessions at west 54th so if channel 10 keeps putting it on every week 
in order (as it has done for the last few weeks we should see the BFF 
session on approx Oct 30th this year!  Man, are we backward or what?
The web page for sessions is:

hey Jordan, don't you think the meaning of Gough by the Whitlams 
would be a little lost on the rest of the world?  I could see ben & 
the boys doing a cover of "Dodi at the Ritz" though! (is it too close 
to an elton john song  if it is a cover of a twisting of an elton john 
song?)
