Sigrid, apparently 'the' FruSmurf" Subject: Re: Anne of Green Gables (was Re: did someone say "The Phantom TollBooth???") The "Anne" series is still one of my favourites to this day. I loved them when I was little when I could relate to the childhood/teen mishaps. And when I re-read them all just last year, I found I could enjoy especially "Anne of Windy Poplars" and "Rilla of Ingleside " much more coming from an adult level (for the record, I haven't outgrown the others by a long shot!). The two-tiered writing reminds me very much of C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia"; another series that is loved by children, but adults get a very different sense out of it. - ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Daancing Queen" To: murmbeetle@my-deja.com, ammf@fruvous.com Subject: Anne of Green Gables (was Re: did someone say "The Phantom TollBooth???")

I do have tickets for both Martyr's shows, although there's a very real possibility that instead, I bought tickets to see "Moxy Furious" or "Moxy Furvuss" (at least they got the "Moxy" part right) at "Murder's" or "Model's" in Chicago. Tickets are $15, plus the $4.25 "convenience" fee (by the way, I'd like to charge everyone reading this a 35-cent "convenience" fee. Thank you.), and a $3.50 total charge per order. There's a limit of six tickets per night (and of course, I had to call back so I could get seven for Saturday). Time is 9 p.m., although I don't know if that's stage time or doors time. The Barrymore Theater in Madison not only doesn't yet have tickets, they don't even have Fruvous on their calendar. I'm sure this is an oversight due to mourning the Packers not making the playoffs.

I don’t think that’s the tactic AOL is going for. AOL would greatly decrease CNN’s reach if it only made it available to AOL subscribers. What is most likely the reasoning for the merger is that AOL needs content for it’s service and Time Warner needs to broaden it reach to consumers. I don’t think this merger marks a change in how TV is going to be presented in the future but is just an example of the growing relationship between TV, or any other media, and the Internet. Every day I hear about a new deal between a magazine or network announcing a relationship with a website. For example I recently read that Petstore.com has relationship with Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet. Animal Planet gets more exposure, Petstore gets the content. Both parties win.

Every > day I hear about a new deal between a magazine or network announcing a > relationship with a website. Exactly my point, although I don't think we completely agree. I believe cable and broadcast media are on the way to becoming obsolete. Everything will eventually be "broadcast" on the Internet: phone, television, etc. Of course, this is a few years off, but eventually, it will get there (and possibly sooner than I'm figurin'.) And it would follow that this is the reason that phone companies, publications, networks, and movie studios are merging with Internet companies. (Well, that and a LOT of money.) What other reason would cause AOL to want to acquire Time Warner at the cost of $190 billion, if they weren't going to utilize its massive assets to expand their business? I'm guessing that the ISPs that own networks will use these programs as a tool to compete against other ISPs: Free CNN access with AOL, and if you were with another provider, you would need to subscribe to CNN. (i.e. As you currently need to do with "The Wall Street Journal" online.) Thereby, potentially *increasing* the number of users for the ISP, and helping to eliminate competition. Who would want to pay for internet service and additional charges for broadcast stations, if they didn't have to? I'm only speculating, of course. However, it follows some basic capitalistic logic: Eliminate the competition by offering more for less. Doesn't it? Of course, I'm not up to speed on what the FCC regulations are on this type of thing. Wow, this could really change the FCC, too! Dang, 'nuff of my rambling...umm...Happy MLK day!!
