[Beth Meyer ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2006 04:46:46 -0700 From: Beth Meyer Subject: Alloy: Happy Birthday to both pirate twins! OK, so I'm late for both birthdays, not to mention International Talk Like a Pirate Day (arrrrr!), but hope they were great, despite not starting off too well in Melissa's case! I know what you mean about unfunny Halloween tricks. My husband took my kids (5 and 7) out to the school bus stop yesterday morning to find that overnight someone had kicked in the faces of the artificial pumpkins that they had painstakingly planned and carved. And since they weren't real pumpkins, we were actually planning to keep them. Nothing like sending your kids off to school in tears... (On the plus side, they may look even creepier now that they've been hot-glued!) - -Beth ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 10:12:17 -0800 (PST) From: Melissa Jordan Subject: Alloy: Thanks to Alloy First, thanks for the very nice b-day greetings, folks! From this side of the continent, I send appreciation (that I'm sure Elaine will echo from the other side!) Second - and my apologies if I've mentioned this before - back at the end of June, just a couple of days before my eye went nuts, in fact, I sent out a message to the Michael Penn fan mailing list. There are around 1,000 people on the list, several of whom are musicans in their own right. I told the group about the Dolby birthday music of previous years and I pondered if anyone on the Michael Penn list might be interested in doing something similar as a Michael Penn tribute. Well, from that one e-mail has sprung "Look What the Fans Drug In" - a tribute to Michael Penn. In four months, the group has worked to craft this project - we ended up with just around 40 MP songs covered by members of the group - pros and amateurs alike, complete with downloadable cover art. :-) I thought I'd share this with you, as the past exploits of Alloy served as the inspiration: http://tribute.onbunkerhill.com Pretty damn neat. :-) Cheers, Melissa http://merujo.blogspot.com - --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
