	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Well, well, well.  If it isn't another VT'er in
our midst.  I must say my eyebrows went way up when I saw the Green Mtn
State sign off!  
	Welcome!
	But, I'm confused (don't want to make the same mistake I made with
"Jess" who ended up being a female), your name is Jenna, then who is Jeremy?
	Where abouts in good 'ol VT are you at?  And, were you born a Who
fan ;-) ?
	Most of us needed some growing up first ;-)  (just playing with you
here).
	Hope Olga can get her visa together.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  I haven't given up all hope yet (Magik won't let
me;-).  Ticketbastard MSG site doesn't have Eddie P. listed.  Also, I
believe I saw that this guys show ends at 6:30pm.
	So, there is still a glimmer of hope.  BUT, I was just able to pull
up 2tix for 10/7 in section 106.  Hmmmmmmmm.
	Time will tell.
	I *was* able to score 2 tix to Cleveland in section 124/row 10 (not
bad).  Still looking to upgrade, though.  Also, saw an individual ticket at
Cleveland for row 8 on the floor!  Can't leave my friend Stu behind though.
What fun would *that* be?  He'll have Schrade and me under the table before
we get out of the parking lot. ;-)

Whoville.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Not I.  I've always wondered if those that
didn't like Rog, don't because of the history between him and Pete.  Notice
how the "author" of that miserable review praised the shit out of Pete?  Rog
is Rog.  A bit goofy at times, but aren't we all.  I've never really even
had a problem with his outfits.  He's a hard worker, has a deep and kind
soul, and isn't nearly the shallow thinker that some make him out to be.
He's just as vital to The Who as Pete, or John, or Keith.  Period.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Now there's the SCHRADE we all know and love.  A
little tame considering the article, but I too am getting tired of trying to
fight these stupid bastards.  See effort earlier in this post.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  I should be able to be of some assistance here.
