hiya fellow BF5 lubbers!

 i'm a new fan of BF5, and i'm so glad this newsletter is around, very
helpful. 
 i'm an avid Beatles fan as well, can anyone tell me if BF5 has ever done
a beatles cover either live or in studio? or have they ever said anything
about the fab4...

i just bought WAEA last saturday, and it hasn't left the stereo in my
truck. these guys are truly great.

Hey all! 

Thanks to Lance for his nice comments on my post about Brick... and my
apologies to all the Armchairites who had already discussed this ad
nauseum... all I can say is, forgive my enthusiasm for poetry and poetic
lyrics!

Also wanted to add that I've realized that I believe I have hit a level of
BFF-obsession... I am checking my e-mail from a cabin in NH while I am on
vacation... ostensibly to "work", but basically, I'm reading the Armchair.

But hey, what can I say, Ben, Darren and Robert are all SO $$$$$... Know
what I mean? (I know one of you does!)

One week 'til my HORDE!!! The countdown begins!!!

Hey Frank, it was nice to see you posting again! I've missed those little
song lines at the end of every Magical Armchair..ahh..the memories. In any
event..I somehow got chosen to be part of this panel for Sony Music's
online web site..we get free cds and stuff..and today, a package came from
them with two free cds..Tom Chapin, don't know who he is...and the new Ben
Folds Five cd..man..was I pleasantly surprised. According to the letter I
got with the cds, in the next few weeks, BFF's cd is going to be used in
some new program Sony's launching..I'll be able to interact with any audio
cd in my CD Rom drive via the web..I'll keep you all posted as to what it's
like...:)

Sarah :)

PS. I think I've decided to wear a "Hello My Name is' sticker to the HORDE
at SPAC..so look for me!
