the word 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the message body. Please DO
NOT POST UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST ITSELF! If you are having
trouble, send mail to owner-armchair@maillist.il.fontys.nl and I

your old address, then subscribe using your new account.
PLEASE KEEP YOUR POSTS SHORT
Now that many list members are back with us, the volume of posts will
be increasing. This makes it important to stay on topic and keep your
posts concise. Avoid the tendency to ramble, as this increases the
amount of text readers have to wade through. If you want to ramble on,
take it to IRC or the newsgroup.
Also remember to be very selective in your quoting of others'
messages. Don't quote an entire post just to add one or two lines. And
be especially careful not to quote the whole digest!!

Subject: call for pictures, & posters...
hey all!!
i am looking for all, and any fairly nicely shot pictures you have taken
at concerts. no need to send negatives and all that- just reprints of
the pics you took. also, if you plan to take pics at an upcoming show, i
will definetely be willing to set up a trade for those.... i will trade
bootlegs for these pictures (i trade 1 bootleg for every ten pictures), i
could also run off articles from various reviews, as i have quite a
few.... also, i have a lot of video to offer....
on second note, i am STILL LOOKING FOR ANY PROMOTIONAL POSTERS YOU MAY
HAVE PICKED UP AT A CONCERT, RECORD STORE, ETC.... i will reward heavily
for anyone that can dig something up for me, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ON
THIS....!!!
thanks- philip

Okay folks. Thank you so much for everyone who's aprticipating. It's goin'
great! But, I'm a little behind because of some late entries and such. So,
it'll be tomorrow before I can post any positive results. Sorry about the wait.
But, I'm just going to wait until everyone's at the same place and take it from
there so I can get a 24 hour turn around for the rest of it. Also, for those
who have e-mailed and gotton nothing, sorry, try again. Some of you with this
"Juno" mail have full mail boxes, so watch that. Just write me and tell me
where you were. Tell me what the last thing you sent was.
Some previews of the first round...

i thought the same thing too, about the brick metaphor. she's
drowning/sinking into depression and he loves her, is trying to hold onto
her, so she's dragging him down with her.
It's probably already been said before but I'm a lazy shite who can't be
bothered to read her armchairs more often (they're so darned long!! oh
dear, i'm just adding to the length of it) so sorry if i'm just repeating
what other people have already said before.
later,
christine :o)
