Laidlaw" Subject: Alloy: You're Not Alone You're not alone on that feeling Melissa. I too was wondering why there has been little or no communication to Alloy as to what is going on at any of these shows. Could it be that Thomas sees Alloy as an obsessed fan base that he's hesitant to communicate with ala "Field Work"? "Take it easy...I got a camera here...mind if I just take your picture?" O.K.-maybe a little obsessed:) Mike > > Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 06:29:39 -0800 (PST) > From: Melissa Jordan > Subject: Re: Alloy: Stop the Press! Reality check.

Drink Deep, Spare no > Details........Kelly Spillers What a lovely, touching story!!!! :^) Thank you for sharing. And not so much of the hateful daggers, okay...I think that envy and jealousy are negative, lifeforce-sapping emotions, so I manage to be *happy* for all the lucky Alloyites who actually get to go and see Mr. Dolby and co. live!! :^) Yeah, okay, I'm a *little* jealous, I admit it. ;^) Love and near-pathological attempts at positivity [I don't quite know what I mean by that either] ;^), Kara--oh drat my rice is boiling over!!!!!! :-O ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V11 #16 ***************************
