Vickie here.

This newsgroup has beome a wealth of information and insight. Witness:

Jorn dug up this little-known fact:

> Even the best-informed Katefans are generally unaware that Kate was
> serving as a WREN (kind of like a British women's ROTC) during the
> Grenada invasion, and though she was not actually in the front line,
> she was facing the possibility of serious hand-to-hand combat, at
> one point foreseen as just a few hours away.  Rumor has it that the
> fabled "Pull Out the Pin" video, never seen by mortal eyes, was to
> contain footage of Kate in uniform, during that crisis...
> :^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^):^)

Meredith solved the riddle of gaffa:

> Hi!
> To end the debate once and for all:

> Kate got the phrase "am I suspended in gaffa?" from the wall of the passage
> connecting the dorms B and C in the Tunnels underneath the Butterfield 
> Colleges here at Wesleyan.  She sent her astral form to do some laundry in
> the wonderfully spacious, comfortable, and economical laundry rooms down 
> there, saw this musing amidst the multicolored, multi-philisophical 
> graffiti on the wall, and decided to use it in her next song.  So there.
> (Gaffer's tape.  Sheesh.)

And Tracy Robyn Somervill gives us the lowdown on Kate's tour:

> As far as news goes, there will be NO tour as before planned. Kate says 
> it will take far too much energy, as she's not young anymore. The best we 
> can hope for is more albums and singles.

Hooboy, this group is so much fun!
