Hello Kiddies.  I'm supposed to be sleeping now but I just got home from 
the 3eb concert and I'm a bit hyper.  I have been reading a lot on wire 
about 3eb playing I Will Follow so I went to the concert with great 
anticipation for this song (is it wrong to go to a concert just because 
you want to hear the band cover a U2 song?).  After the first encore I 
turned to my friend and sadly stated that they played no U2.  Just as I 
was whining about it the guitarist came on and said "here's a song the 
edge taught me"  and he started that amazing guitar that only the edge 
could have written.  I was screaming (and I mean screaming) like a mad 
woman.  All of the 3eb fans around me were throwing mean looks in my 
direction but I couldn't help it!  I must say that I Will Follow was the 
high point of the concert. Not that 3eb didn't put on a great concert 
but I Will Follow really got the crowd jumping.  before that we were all 
sort of swaying and moving to the music but I Will Follow got us all 
worked up and the whole place was hopping!  Anyway, it sounded like 
tonight was the last concert of 3eb's current tour so I guess if you 
haven't heard them cover the song it's too late.  Here's a suggestion 
for all you fans who may be feeling bad about this.  Throw in the U2 
version (on bootleg or cd) and listen to that.  It by far exceeds 3eb's 
version anyway! 
  As far as random thoughts, I downloaded the real video of the sweetest 
thing (cause I don't have mtv or vh1) and I LOVE THAT VIDEO.  it is very 
cute.  It makes me say "ooo, that's just the sweetest thing"  so thanks 
to whoever it was who put this online for poor people like me to 
retrieve!  
  Another random thought for you is that I must beg forgiveness from a 
few of you wirelings who I have talked to in the last little while.  
About a month ago I posted a bit about the Santiago Popmart video and 
said I would do what I could to get anyone copies.  Well I'm very sorry 
but it looks like I'm not gonna be able to hook you up.  I was gonna buy 
a vcr to record these things with but my car just broke and all sorts of 
other expenses have suddenly hit me.  If you are angry with me I 
understand but I hope you are not!  Maybe in the future things will 
change and I will be able to make copies, just not right now. 
  Well, I'm off to the land of slumber.  Have a lovely day y'all
