Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage? -- Yuki Ivanov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of MindSpring Enterprises. ------------------------------------------------------------ From fgarcia@illinois.edu Fri Nov 29 16:01:23 1996 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!illinois!fgarcia From: fgarcia@illinois.edu (Fiona García) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Data: Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1996Nov29.160123.5163@illinois.edu> Date: Fri, 29 Nov 1996 16:01:23 GMT References: <1996Nov28.120823.8020@mindspring.com> Organization: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign NNTP-Posting-Host: illinois.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1996Nov28.120823.8020@mindspring.com>, yivanov@mindspring.com (Yuki Ivanov) writes: > For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect? > We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium.
