I think I shall jump in....



Howdy everyone,

(No I don't live in Indiana, so please don't think the howdy thing is a hick 
talkin', cuz' I'll give y'all a good noggin' rubbin'.)

But anywayz, back to lurkerdom I went when I (and the rest of the Kentites) 
returned from the Taft last weekend.  I guess I will make an apperance, cause 
I got time.

First,  I am on aol and I don't think it is that bad.  Everyone I know has 
had problems with any of the versions of netbrowsing they are on.  of course, 
I get it for free, so I guess I can't complain.

Second, the whole Indiana thing has got to go.  Some parts of Ohio and the 
rest of the midwest are like what you all are talking about.  in fact, it is 
very much a midwest "feature".  We deal with it and move on (or away if you 
are lucky enough).  

Third, and the biggest of course.  Thank you to all of you that came down to 
the Taft.  I (just generalize that - oops, I forgot those are bad things - to 
include Alyssa) had a great time.  I was happy to get reaquainted with some 
old faces, and to put faces to those e-mails I have read that I didn't know 
before.  (Did any of that make sense?)  We had a lot of fun, and look forward 
to doing it again.  Or maybe some of you ought to come to Kent to see 
someone.....or just to see us. :) ).  I thought OTR did a good job at the 
show.  I think they sounded better than they have in a good year or more.  
They were happy and it showed in their music.  I, for one, loved the drum 
player (sorry I am not good with names... I don't watch soaps, so I have no 
need to know everything.).  He added depth, and was a welcome change of pace. 
 Then again, I have the bass cranked all the way up in my car, and prefer 
drums to some people.  
Ron was amusing, though too slow for my tastes.  I tried not to fall asleep.  
I like musicains like that on occasions, but not ones where I have been up 
since early morning, and have driven all day. Yawn.  On the whole, I believe 
he has talent.
And now that a was just about to get on some of your good sides.... let me 
tackle Sixpence.  The band is excellent.  After... (yes, after) I tuned out 
Leigh (I think that's who you all have been talking about).  She was very 
distracting.  To me it was like hearing a band but having the singer locked 
up in the next room over.  She didn't fit right, and made the overall 
appearance sound off.   Though she was very happy to be there, during the 
oncor (shit, I can't spell), she appeared to not play her part well.  Like 
she was annoyed at Ron who kept butting into her part.  "Please, let's just 
get this over" would be the thought I would see in her mind.  I cringed, and 
groaned and moped a whole lot when they played "Kiss Me".  This I mean with 
no offense, but I hate that song! UGH! They have it on the muzac at my 
workplace and I have to hear it at least three times a day everyday.  ANY 
song, (no matter how good or bad) will hit you like a ton of bricks after 
that.  Sorry, my opinions... feel free to banter back all you want.

See, the nice thing about this list (contrairy to someone's beliefs) is that 
we are all free to express our opinions, as opposed to most cliques who use 
the "If you will I will" approach to jumping off cliffs.  The differences are 
not narrowminded.   They make us unique.

So there, 
Heather
