Subject: miss Paraguay, WEAEA last call
geez, am I a dope. I need your address too, Miss Paraguay! (same reason as
Ed.) This is getting to be more trouble than it's worth! BUt don't worry,
I'm still doing it. I will sent out the instructions for the WEAEA
interactive feature tomorrow, so anybody else who wants 'em had better
e-mail me (with your address in the letter to prevent further screw-ups on
my part) as soon as they read this. Thanks, guys.

Subject: Pulp fiction & fanny packs
I just watch pulp fiction again last night, and I picked up on something that I hadn't heard before. When Mia (Uma Thurman) is snorting up in the bathroom of the dinner, she reacts by saying, "Unn...goddamn! Goddamn!" just like at the begining of "...Fanny Packs." Now, the chicken/egg question. Which came first?

Subject: Yet another bootleg looker.
I have 0000 BF5 bootlegs. My collection is at nil. Although a long time
fan, I never thought about getting some live stuff and need some help
getting a collection started. I am a SWM, OOPS wrong site. Anyway, if
anyone can give me a hand in starting, write me at
ztjones@msn.com. Thank you and don't eat yellow snow.

Subject: BFF songs and my life
This is probably going to come off as relatively depressing, but then
again, Im in Catholic high school. Since I am entrenched in boring
classes, hanging out with people who have a preconcieved notioin of who I
am, well, Video and Best Imitation Of Myself is of course, the BFF songs
that most echo my life.
1st. Best-why? Because the people at my school are kind of, lets say,
into conformity. The average person at my school listens to the Wu Tang,
Puffy, and Im different, because I dont go out and get crazy ass drunk, I
do well in school, and Im also VERY into, for lack of a better term, "art
films" and music nobody else knows of(Ben Folds Five, anyone?)-at one
point, the "popular" girls on my soccer team were spreading rumors that I
did herion!! Just because I liked the movie Trainspotting and Ive heard
of the Prodigy. So anyway, when Im in school, Its really hard to be my
happy, well-adjusted, high self esteemed self. Some people at my school
can't deal! So I really put on a front at school-thank GOD for friends.
2nd.Video-I really pick up on the ,"Oh what fun I can't wait till the
future gets here" line- to myself it represents the golden possibilities
that lie ahead. College can't come sooner; I'll have so many options and
choices and even though I dont know what I want to do, at least I can
have the freedom to choose! To take interesting classes! To WRITE!!! I
want to go to Havard, Oberlin, or UNC.($$ es un problemo)

Subject: ?????
Is this bitchy, evil, and totally against-(sigh.)my favorite band, Ben
Folds Five??
This urge is coming more often-do you guys get it, too?
I dont really listen to my local top 40 station, and I was getting really
used to BFF's relative anonmynity (sp.?) on the radio. Now even the sucky
ass top 40 station is playing BFF right inbetween Jewel, Robin, Hanson,
etc...
I find myself wanting to call the top 40 radio station and (there goes
the knife) saying, stop playing that stupid Brick song! Its so boring! It
sucks!
I havent done it yet..... It is bad to do? Is it overly selfish to want
to keep Ben Folds Five for myself and a select few who appreciate the
lyrics and piannah??
!Good question for anyone interviewing Ben Folds Five-Did you pick up any
dance moves from hanging out with Beck on the HORDE festival??(It looked
like it at the show I saw)
