PERIODIC PURGE ADVISORY!
   Just want to let you know, in advance, that I'll be removing from the
list in the next couple weeks any addresses that come back as
"undeliverable" for whatever reason - mailbox full, expired in queue,
user unknown, etc. This is to cut down on the volume of net traffic that
happens as a result, not to mention the 20-30 bounce messages sent to my
inbox for each issue of the Armchair that goes out.

Hey chairers.... i Have a quick question.  Is the BF5 FANatic going to be on
the 18th or 19th of August?  I've heard both dates from different sources.
Thanks.
                   Robin

hey everyone in magical armchair land!!!

yes, i did FINALLY catch hard rock live last night thank goodness. i probably
would've been forced to smack myself upside the head if i would have missed
it. Anyways, i would like to comment on Ben's appearance.......why? he's got
this unkempt hair, seemingly unshaven, plain old white T-shirt look goin. i'm
not really likin' it. i know people have commented on this b4 but i dunno if
it was worse then or now but i just....blah. don't get me wrong, i still love
ben! i mean with those piano skills and that adorable voice, who wouldn't but
i dunno, the look just doesn't go. but i would like to say that Robert and
Darren are looking as adorable as ever! the grungie, long-haired type thing
definitely works a with robert, he looks cute like that! and darren with the
short hair and the oxford type shirt, gotta love it! i mean could God have put
together a cuter bunch of talented guys??? i think not. and i LoVeD the
performance of SFTD. the rest of the show was good (aside from the fact that
they played "brick", once again) but i thought that performance RoCkEd!!! i
mean when he went into the classic stool throw and it broke! i nearly laughed
out loud in my dead silent house!  wonderful way to end the show guys, mad
props to you!!!
    NEways, thanks for listening...
