Sleepy - I have got my show tonight, but as it's Guy Fawles Night everyone will probably be doing that firework thing and not bothering with quality knob-gags. Nevermind. I know, the whole Blur vs Robyn thing is extremely contreversial but I've seen him solo about 30 times, if it was The Egyptians that would be a different story. I thought as we're both going to see The Sundays we might dress up as our favourite dead person so we would recognise each other. I think I'll go as Roy Kinnear, what about you??

Hey, CW. I hope your day improves! Is it in Young Frankenstein where they say "it could be worse, it could be raining" and then it proceeds to rain? Hi Morrissey - you chose Blur over Robyn - how could you?! Harlequin didn't come back - he must have been a one-off. Have you got your show tonight? Hello, Myk - I guess you've probably gone off to a meeting now.

Bad news, I may not be at Robyn's JC gig after all, I rashly spent all my cash on tickets for Ween, Sparks, Blur and of course Mr Not-In-The-Smiths-Anymore himself. Bah! I'll still be at the Sundays though!!

I took a ride to wok to avoid walking though the pouring rain. The ride was late and then I left my keys to the office in the car so I had to trudge around in the pouring rain anyhow in search of a pay phone. I'm very wet and I 'm drinking cold coffee cause I'm to lazy to even microwave it. Then, a very important report I thought I had sent out Monday came back as returned e-mail. So congratulations Myk. You and rOb beat me. This is going to be One of Those Days.

Good morning. Apologies for any mild-fever enhanced hysteria yesterday. My penultimate goodbye was particularly graceless. A couple of ibufrofen, a soothing evening class and a double bill of Seinfeld and Larry Sanders helped temporarily despatch the gremlins. The big fever is creeping ever closer... "Statue With A Walkman" is a new song. It's very good and comes with a great story! The Libra Too statement was very funny. Tea or coffee? Eye or Globe of Frogs? Someone had a book called 'My indecision is final'. Great name.

God, I was really tired last posting - I thought you might guess Wren is the name of a friend of mine (the one I mentioned before who did the Eno cover - I'll make her SING it for you, heh-heh-heh!); she may go along with us. / Griffin - yeah, all these would-be appearances are a bit strange, maybe they're hedging their bets until they can get a true confirmation. It looks like the 15th, tho'. Since he's (supposedly) playing early, if he plays the 8th too, I wouldn't be able to make it, I'd be in Whittier at that ime - but if you're going to be around and would be able to go, you might want to call them up Sat--day on the off chance. . . . .

Well, I guess that pretty much IS the story. He was playing here in town (that would be Portland OR) at a club called Berbati's Pan. We got there real early because we didn't get our tickets in advance so we wanted to be certain to get in. When we were standing outside the door, Robyn H. was coming out. He brushed past us and we just stood there whispering & blushing. My husband walks up to him all starry-eyed and goes, "Robyn..." and he turns around and hollars "I know you've got something to say and I'm sure it's very important but I just don't have the time right now!!" and storms off. Apparently he had lost his luggage and was pretty peeved about it.

Nice to see some stuff about Robyn's music on this board instead of prissy cat fights. Meow. Do you people do anything besides nothing? If you came with something to offer the rest of us, there might be a dialogue with everybody else. As it is, you've pretty much pirated this board for your discussion, most of which is of no interest to other Robyn fans.

Cause I'm a Libra. Speaking of whch, what the hell kind of horoscope is this? "We've got the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Capricorn today. This Capricorn Moon draws
your attention to home, family and personal matters. And it's also Election Day, so you need
to be thinking in terms of how the elected officials are going to protect your home and family.
For example, are they taking so much in taxes that you can't afford to buy a house? Those tax
dollars are your money, you know. Make sure they're being spent wisely. Also, confer with
an older person before you cast your vote. Something learned through experience will come in
very handy now." I get to vote for Mayor and Sheriff. Cool huh?
