Subject: are there two?
allo, all.
has anyone seen the thing for the list on the homepage? is this the same
one? i really hope not, because if so, i've signed up for it twice. i
don't think it is, though, because that other one is called The Urge or
something not nearly as clever as dear Frank's title.

I've heard comparisons made between Ben and Mr. Rogers, and come on guys. Its
pretty obviuos what the next step should be. That's right! Ben Folds Five
doing the opening to Mr. Rogers. It would be awesome. Can't you hear him
singing it.
I also like the name armchairites. Sorry this post wasn't exciting, but it
doesn't say unsubscribe, and I didn't quote the digest, and I changed the
subject so it could have been worse. : ) Ben

Subject: Last night In Tokyo
From Tokyo ,about the last show in Japan.
Their Japan tour is over.The last night in Tokyo was last night.
They'll go to U.K. today (not like Steven).
They did some of special things. First, "Emaline" was in
set list!!! for the first time in Tokyo 5day (maybe in Japan)
I wrote that I wanted to listen " Emaline" or " Evaporated" or
" Eddie Walker"on #308. I realy wanted. I don't know they
read or heard my post( Ben Folds Five Only Knows),
but after this song Ben said that " Emaline " was requested
by fan.
Yes, " Emaline " is a good song and MANY people love it ,
I know. But perhaps that was my request.....
Second, in encour September 67 (Shannon Worrell, Guitar
and Kristin Asbury ,drums) played with them .
" Michel Lane",Darren's original. Darren/ guitar and vocal,
Ben /piano, Robert/ Contrabass, Shannon/guitar and back vocal
Kristin/drums and back vocal. Great Ben Folds "5".
Third, after the show, they turned up on the floor !!!
We flocked to shake hands or touch(?) them. Friendly guys.
We met Kate after the show, again. She gave Chiori her light
list . When she knew my English is not good, she gave me a
peice of paper.So I wrote a message,and passed a note her.
Thank you ,Kate.
I can't write everything I had and they did.But I only to
say " Magical Armchair" is so great media.Thanks every one.
I owe all of you.

OK, Massive shout out to all da crew doin' it reet, but BIG diss to the
hombre who slandered me:

>they the ideas cheeky eh? Innit!
Now that is cheeky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I give you a phat lyrical swig of my juice and, so don't abuse.
I came on the carpet, looking for a ride
Sat down waited, bored and I sighed
Looking for respect, cheeky men in sight,
Whistled "Big Up" and the carpet took flight,
Flying through the air playing Bens Toons
Cannery kicked in as we flew past the moon,
Best mate Shat needed some more change,
Put it in a bandit people looking strange?
Give me a curry, make it nice and thick
Popadoms and sangam whilst we discuss Brick
What does it mean? Do we all care?
But in love and war, all is fair?
Apparently nothing, nothing apparently
Ooooops wrong group thats so cheeky
I could be sorted living in a den
Maybe a worm hole, Underground then
Small squat man, Uncle Walter was his name,
Absolute fiend, rudeness brought him fame
Fame starred Leroy, Leroy is a dude
Cheeky mon hungry stop for some food,
Get a vindaloo, make it nice and strong,
Play Sports and Wine thats where we belong,
Getting dead bored finish to watch Bod
Cheeky, reet rude innit, swear a God.
Todd of the Beef (probably) Probably a robbery, a bit of skullduggery.
