Looking In
April 3, 2008

My Dear Ones,

Word has it that an official Melanie fan club is up and running. I might join if they give you good stuff and opportunities not available elsewhere. It's also a solidarity thing. I agree with most of what I say, and I like me. I grew up in a family when it wasn't a good idea to do too well unless it was in the world of academia. Intellect and cleverness rated. Big dreams, high hopes, impulses, God forbid, showey or high profile. Not exactly. (i.e. see the movie "Once Around" with Richard Dryfuss and Hollie Hunter). I might talk more about this when the place closes later, but for now, lets just say my family would have scoffed at one joining their own fan club, as might some of you. That's ok ~ I'll join anyway. I'll be the quality control department. I've never done anything like that before. If I'm not good at it, let me know, in a nice way. I do best when I'm loved unconditionally and adored even with my flaws and imperfections.

OH! They've closed my favorite place for a private party. I hate that. Feeling excluded, dissapointed --- but wait ~ someone is gesturing me in. Oh, Oh Great ~ I'll have a glass of dry white, like a Pinot Gregio, no oak, ok? I'm going to the lively end of the room rather than the usual corner that lures me more often than not. I just got the urge to dance.

Hi Melanie

great to hear from you, and I wish you good luck and everything else for your Korea concerts.

looking forward to meet you here in Berlin and other places here in Germany in September !

yours

God, I HATE this! I HATE being this cynical. I just don't believe the above was written by Melanie. I hate feeling this way, but I feel this way so deeply in my gut. Sorry to those I offend.

be careful - we don't want to start this argument all over again

we've lost some beautiful people over this issue

i think we all know our own thoughts on this

Hi Melanie,
I'm looking forward to getting all my goodies!

We've all been working hard trying to get the attention of the rock and roll hall of fame. That Woodstock dress needs a resting place. LOL

Er , hang on a miniute , so Melanie didn't know about her own fan club.

And she may join .....?????????????????????

Sorry Melanie. I wanted you to see this picture a guy painted for me. I can't wait to get it in my hands, it's beautiful and so are you. This link should work.

Melanie is listening Michael.

Why should she be left out of the fun we have here on MelaniesMusic.com?

I can assure all of you that Melanie writes every post that has her signature. It was transcribed over the phone and posted here. It is written as if she just found out about it on-purpose. No need to be cynical. I would just go with the flow...

We weren't initially going to have a public journal, but we changed our minds. Melanie came up with the idea of the Roadburn Caf? several years ago on her old journal for her more food oriented road stories. Taking it a little further this time, the general public is "outside" the Caf? and the fan club members are "inside" the Caf?. It is my goal to have one post for the public and another post for the fan club posted at the same time. I hope this clears up any confusion.

P.S. The fan club members who already have accounts on the forum should be seeing a new forum today call "Roadburn Caf? - Private Party". Enjoy!

Thank you for your words, Melanie!
