Subject: Toronto? Thanks, but it's not enough
Hi, Fivers.
Blessings to Ralph for giving me word on the Toronto show 5/5/99 (and
at the cavernous sound-sucking Guvernment - the intimacy continues to
dwindle). I checked the site, and for those near me who haven't, a
reminder that the tix are supposed to go on sale March 8th. Yee-hee!
But when I said I wanted more shows in Canada ("DAMMIT"), I didn't
mean just Toronto. They've got the playing-Toronto thing down pat. I
was speaking not just for myself, but for ALL the BFF fans in what CEC
doesn't seem to get is a great big country. What about Vancouver? What
about Montreal? These are the other beeeg world-class-type cities. They
could at least cover *them*! And what about Halifax - hell, it's on
their way to England anyway?! And God forbid they get extended to
Winnipeg and Edmonton (okay, Calgary: maybe you too) and Ottawa. They
all have media and clubs and arenas and hotels and everything. I just
think if they could play every other bloody college town in the
northeast U.S. (and I'm not saying they shouldn't - God love ya, kids)
and pretty much every major place in England and Australia, it couldn't
be such a huge struggle to play at least THREE cities in all of Canada!
I realise this is just the first batch of many many tour dates. That's
part of why I'm pitching a fit, so someone will keep this in mind in the
future.
Still, I'm giddy that I'm living in Toronto to get at that Guvernment
show, and thanks for that. BUT....
Peace,
(and on this list, that's an ambitious wish)
Valerie

Subject: now people. . .
i like ben folds five
i like to listen to them
it's good stuff
yea..i'm a post-brick fan, but i live in iowa, how else would i hear about
them?
i own all of their cds and consider them to be my favorite band
i try to "spread the sunshine" and have gotten others hooked too
i'm not their biggest fan, i don't worship them as god or travel the country
to see live shows
instead i listen to their music and it moves me, it makes me think
their music reminds me of some of the best times i've ever had
i'm just a "little" kid though, a mere 17 years that i've been around
i like ben folds five. . . is that okay with you?
i have every characteristic of someone who is "evil" (except the bandwagon
thing, not many people dig BFF around here) but there is no way you can't
call
me a true fan of the band, any of my friends will tell you that ben folds
five
is like crack for me, let's get over this entire i'm a better fan than you
are
battle, it was funny at first but it's a little old now
ben >>
I couldn't agree with you more. That pretty characterizes what kind of fan I
am, except I'm a mere 14 years of age. I got into band after Brick, but not
because of Brick; because someone at my bunk in camp kept playing it, and I
dug it. I got WAEA when I got home from camp, bought the other two in
September. I love the band. They make beautiful music; it gives me joy. I
haven't been to one of their shows before, but I'm going to the one around
here (Philly) when they come. Why are some people so obnoxious?

no question Ben is a genius, chord structure, intelligent lryics. but
give me a break just b/c he wrote it you like it? ill tell you one thing
if i was a big music star id hope that people like my music each for
face value, not for some a idol worshipping purpose. and dont forget,
"Brick" WAS over played, and i dont see any reason why i should forgive
it just yet...hehe...tchues

Subject: Penn State show
This is a response I got from the organizer of the Penn State show.
>Ben Folds Five is the headliner for our annual Movin' On
festival. Movin' On is on April 24 on Pollock Fields. (If you don't know
campus, there's a map at http://www.clubs.psu.edu/arhs/map.htm ) The
festival is all day, from noon until around 10 PM. And Ben Folds Five will
be the last band to perform, maybe around 8ish? Admission is free.
If you have any other questions, feel free to write back.

Director of Public Relations,
Association of Residence Hall Students

You can also check out last year's website for Movin' On at
http://www.clubs.psu.edu/movinon/
This looks like it will prove to be quite the enjoyable event :) Hope this
info helped everyone out...
