I could be having a 'blister in the sun' while most of you are suffering from that damn cold weather! [8D]

mygreen,
I'm gonna think long and hard about that Femmes show in Seattle, cuz I had really wanted to go to that show, and I couldn't get a ride. But I still have lots of [i]Rocket[/i] magazines from then, so I'll hunt thru those. But I remember the show

I wasn't sure if this was another one of Rubbeet's "women only" threads or not. But Mygreen, can I be cool too? I used to rip off their lyrics and pass them off as my poetry homework in high school [:D]
