I just saw the late show at the Bottom Line and all I can say is wow. Really, that's all I can say. Informationally speaking, I will add that they were selling a tape containing a collection of Jane Siberry videos for $40. It's a lot of money, but I bought one because I loved her videos and had to have them. After showing one short and particularly humorous video, she said that on the second night of this tour, when she showed this video *nobody* laughed. Which really threw her because she thought it was the funniest thing she has ever done. (She didn't mention what city it was in.) There was a short question and answer period at the end, and she said that she really prefers to think of these things as a gathering of like minded individuals, not a "performance". That it was really important to break down barriers between people. Then she performed another song and went home:-). She was remarkable. I also picked up a copy of the first "Sib-line" newsletter. It contains info about upcoming releases, concert dates, etc. There is also a list of available merchandise and an order form. Merchandise consists of CD's, the video, t-shirts, postcards, xeroxed lyrics, and posters. The address is box 291, 238 davenport rd., toronto, ont. canada, M5R 1J6. They say that this issue is being sent to anyone who has written in the last few years. A two year membership in sib-line, is $15. The prices are high, but the purpose is to make sure that sib-things are available to people who want them, and the money helps fund new sib-things. -- David Silver dsilver@panix.com
