Thanx From rumors I've heard from various places (which are not officially sanctioned at all), there will be a West Coast and East Coast "full" tour in the fall. They may go across Canada and then down the West Coast like they did last fall, but I haven't heard anything solid about it. Then I've heard there is a small break and then an East Coast tour. I've also heard that there may not be midwest dates again until next year. Those are the rumors I've heard flying around, but nothing is true until you see it on the FDC tour page or a post from Jude. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 01 Jul 1999 17:12:30 GMT From: srm9988n@aol.composter (Lori Martin) Subject: Re: O Canada!

There are two versions of this tape, one with Get in the Car and one without since some people earned their 12 stamps and their video before Get in the Car was filmed. I don't know of a standard stance on people dubbing the video. I'd much rather people ask Jude about it and see what she says so that if enough people ask her about it, maybe they will sell the video as merch and make some money off it. But I don't know if that will happen or not. The early videos got a lot of airplay on Much in Canada. The later ones not so much. Whether their are video plans for the new album remains to be seen and is probably very dependent on whether the band and their management thinks it will help them sell more albums and if the band wishes to express themselves in the almost dead art form known as video. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 18:36:30 GMT From: Fru-Monique Subject: Re: Welcome, me!
