Subject: Los Angeles Tour Dates?

I haven't seen any announced tour dates yet, but I heard on Y107 that they
will be playing a special show at the Palladium on June 10th.  Has anyone
else heard anything?

hiiiiiii:)
oo i'm in a happy mood,  bff in sheffield last night.
man they rocked :) not that that should be a aurprise to you lot :)

they didn't say alot but they did do the full version of underground :) with 
darren and everything and rob sat on the piano

also lots of stuff from the new album, which was great, and encored with 
boxing and sftd. interesting combination but totally excellent :)) i wish i 
could remember the sequence but i was too involved , and then too busy dying 
from dehidration :)

no stool throwing though i noticed, rob sat on the piano, that was about it, 
mind you i couldn't see all that welll, nearly died hanging onto this 
railing thing...ouch. the support (furslide) sounded like a cross between 
brian molko and alanis morisette. oh yes... and it was a girl in the end as 
well (my vision was really bad at that point, oo vodka and crowds don't 
mix...:))

also we went to maccy d's after and then on the way back they were all
outside and i got them to sign my teenie beanie baby :) oh yes be afraid 
;)they did't even seem surprised.:)

oh and obscure fact: robert has hundreds of nick names, including ro 
(strange to me but there you go) and robylanthra if that's how you spell it 
which he gave to my mate romany :)


ooo those new t shirts are scary, with all the men on. good grief.i was 
scared anyway... :)

gotta go
keep rockin
love
em

"cos everyone knows now that every night now will be quamiiiiiiis' last 
night in tooown." ah yes ben is slightly mad ;)

Subject: Matt Pinnfield I despise thee

Hello once again my fellow fivers,
        After a long day's work at my scary part time job, I came home 
desperately trying to keep my eyes open.  I stuck it out until midnight, 
eagerly awaiting the moment I would spy Ben and the boys on 120 min.  Let me 
just say that for a guy that knows so much about music, Matt Pinnfield didn't 
jackdiddlysquat about BFF.   This aggrivated me quite thouroughly.  Ben 
seemed a little pissed himself, I mean "Square Reels"!!! C'mon Matt.....get a 
life!!!!  Robert was apparently plastered, but that's just my humble opinion. 
Alas, I was quite disgruntled as I shut my eyes and let sleep arrive.
                               ~Melissa

Subject: bringin em back to Texas

As long as they are still adding dates...C'mon Texas, Seattle whined for
a tour date and they got one, now it's time to standup and get ourselves a
show! So lets start hootin an a hollerin, and bring the band to some good
ol Texas honkytonk, maybe Floore's in Helotes or Cabaret in Bandera!
Yeee-ha! Ok, so anywhere in Texas would be great, Austin, San Antone,
Dallas, Houston...maybe sometime before next fall.  We're bigger and
better than the crappy midwest and deserve some rock and roll.

I am new to the list, but I have a bunch of CD-R's of various bands, but no
Ben Folds.  Does anyone have any high quality BFF shows?

I have Rusted Root, Bela Fleck, Train, Agents of Good Roots, Dave Matthews
Band (a ton).

how do we respond to others and at the same time allow others to understand

I thought they were absolutely hilarious on 120 minutes this morning.  Do you 
think Matt understood their humor?  Oh well. Can anyone tell me, (privately 
so as not to clog up the armchair), if they showed a lot more of One Angry 
Dwarf after the credits stopped rolling?  My VCR cut off after that point.  
Thanks a bunch.
