Subject: POSTERS!!!

Hi everyone, this is Caroline here. I was desperately looking for Ben Folds
Five posters, and a few nice people responded. Here are two websites that sell
posters of BFF:

www.photowrld.com    (WAEA poster)
www.pushposters.demon.co.uk    ( big WAEA poster and Brick poster)

Here are sites that sell their CDs:

www.emusic.com
www.bffweb.com   (and sells T-shirts)

I hope this helps some of you other fans needing to get your hands on some BFF
stuff (it helped me, I ordered today). Bye bye!

Alwayz, Caroline

OK, think I'll add my thoughts on FANatic...okay, a day late, but anyhoo:  I
have mixed feelings.  i thought that it was good for the most part, especially
the fact that they played uncle walter and SFTD, and one angry dwarf, i.e.
anything other than brick.   a little too much repetition with the brick
video.  And i was kinda sorry to hear they cut 18 questions to 1 and a half,
but those are my only complaints. An OK show. Onto semi-related content:  TONY
FLAMINO, hi, sorry i don't have your e-mail anymore, your tape will be out
soon.  sorry for the space everyone else!

Hey there kids.

FYI not every single picture of a guy in Playgirl is a picture of a nude guy.

Ever hear of the famous playboy interviews? those people don't get naked.

So don't get your pre-pubescent panties in a bunch. Ben isn't a nude. Go
have your older sisters buy you a copy and find out!
