Why hello again everyone, sorry I have not answered your emails in a while
and also for not posting in a long time.....my computer crashed a while
after my first newbie post(I cant remember exactly when that was) but here
it is again:

Hello everyone out there!!!!!!!!!!This is my first time writing to the
Armchair, but am a long time reader.  First off, i would like to say that i
was pissed becuase our guys only got one song on SNL.  i am REALLY
disappionted in SNL.  next thing, i love Ben Folds Five, saw them twice and
am about to see them again.  i met them for the first time at this year's
HORDE in chicago and i thought it was the best time of my life.  i have
listened to them for about a year now and i think that they are by far the
most talented band i have ever encountered.  last train of thought, i give
a shout out to all of those people who are trying to help newbies.  i guess
you could call me a newbie, hell, i am a newbie.  i only have one show of
bff and would like to expand, please help.  also, other newbies out there,
if you want it, i will be gladly to help you out.  just drop me an
email.....jibbers@ivi.net.  thats it, keep rockin boys!

Subject: nyc show - darren's setlist

i managed to get a hold of darren's setlist for the show. here's what it looks
like:
New York City
Pyser
Battle
Philosophy
Selfless
Missing
Polka
Steven
Fair
Brick
Kate
Jackson
Dwarf
Best
Smoke
Underground
Julianne
Boxing
Dumped
Eddie Walker / Emaline

i'm sure someone will post what they actually played. i was a little
disappointed that they left out best imitation, julianne, and emaline, but oh
well. did anyone notice that robert's bass was especially loud, and that ben's
vocals were really low?

Subject: Dying girls request.

Hi guys.
    Okay, a friend of mine is in the hospital after a brutal car acciedent.
She was driving to see a Ben Folds Five concert, and never made it. Well, she
has about 4 or 5 months to live, and her birthday is March 22nd. If ANYONE is
going to ANY concert, and you are going to try and get the bands autograph,
will you please TRY and get one for her. I have nothing to trade, but I can
try and buy if from you, like, if you get two. I am begging. Yes, begging. She
is really bummed she didn't get to go, and now she won't be ever able to. I am
not fooling anyone into getting me an autograph. This is for Amy.

Thank you all.
