Subject: Cool in School shirts
I got my shirt about 3 weeks ago, after waiting about 3 months for it to
arrive. It does take quite a while for it to happen. I totally wasn't
expecting it to arrive when it did. I had just about given up hope
*sniff*. Anyway, hang in there, it will arrive. And if you're really
impatient, you can just call the number and ask them what the hell is
going on.

and I was wondering if this is "normal". I ordered said T-shirt about
four months ago now, and it has never appeared. Not that I check the
mailbox everyday or anything.
ouchy. umm, i only ordered it ONE month ago. doesnt stuff like
this usually take four weeks? i wonder what's takeing so long..maybe
the business that handles bff's merchandise got a sudden rush of orders
and is trying to fill em all, since they got more popular...??? i
dunno. i also sent them a money order, and its western union/price
chopper..i dunno if that's gonna be cashable where i sent it to..i hope
so. i sent the same kinda money order to dischord records, and i got my
stuff ok. i plan on calling the fone number and asking someone what's
up, provided i get a real live person and not just a recording..btw,
does anyone know if the number is still up? i've never tried
before..well, i guess i'll find out tomorrow anyway. :)

Subject: BFF in Seattle
I definitely couldn't be more pissed. I can't see BFF in Seattle 'cause
i'm under 21. Is that fair--I think not. I just wanted you all to know.

You know, the news about BFF "hopping off HORDE," to do the show in
Seattle is great! Unless you already have HORDE tickets, and you're a fan
that is UNDER 21.. (the show is 21+, incase that hasn't been mentioned yet)
If this was the case you'd be realllllly bummed. (did I mention that I am
really bummed?) *sigh*

Subject: MTV Oddities
Well..last night I was watching MTV Oddities..just because it comes
immediately before Loveline and I didn't feel like flipping between
stations..and all of a sudden I heard the familiar strains of the opening
of BOWCCL...Oddities was using this lil clip before each guest came out and
surprisingly, right before John Spencer's Blues Explosion played..perhaps
this is a sign that BFF are going to be the musical guest on a future show?
All we can do is hope....and hey, I think they would be a great guest on
Loveline as well..in any event I'd like to add my two cents to knowing
about when you're obsessed: You know you're obsessed when a) You sit
transfixed in front of the television to hear mini-clips of BFF b) You get
extremely giddy at the mere mention of them c) You vow to stay in on a
Saturday night to watch PBS even though you'll be taping it d) You can
remember exactly what they were wearing the first time you met them...Thank
you and have a lovely day!
Sarah :)
