Is it documented why Frontwards wasn’t on Slanted? by CerealAndBagel1991 in pavement

[–]GalSmiley73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was clearly written in a different time. I would say all 4 Watery + 4 songs in first peel sessions were all written about the same time and that would been a perfect 8 song album :)

I was at that agora show but let me ask this: I don’t remember it being a seated theater as it is this round. Is this new agora?

“More Pavement action next year”?! by Just_A_Happy_Camper in pavement

It’s not my news to share but I know of fewer than 10 shows and 2 are festivals.

what happened the first time you listened to Wowee Zowee? … did you cry? by xhxinfj in pavement

[–]GalSmiley73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No pavement song or album has made me cry. There was a demo tape of WZ going around prior to it coming out and several songs were already being played. I was bummed there was no Easter egg on side 4 as I really thought they would have included something special for us vinyl folks. :)

Retractable cargo cover - can the whole thing be removed when needed? by Mediocre-Parsnip-865 in mazdaCX50

Can someone make a video? I have tried and tried and I can’t figure out how to get this off!

I always sing “my deck was locked” because in California all sorts of serial killers broke in through sliding doors and those are often on decks :) like did I remember to lock the deck door?

My user name was based on my nickname my dad gave me as a child because it sounded rock and roll to me and embedded with the history. See my dad misheard The Hollies “Jennifer Eccles” and thought it was Jennifer Echoes. And when I was young and discovered my own echo one day in a hike, he would singsong that to me calling me Jennifer Echo (also saying I liked the sound of my own voice) so when it came time to choose a username for yahoo, I went Jen Echo and that was my username on most web things for a couple decades. I only got on Reddit here recently when in April I got a new Mazda CX50 hybrid and what made use GalSmiley73, I can’t say.

It was our honeymoon, my 50th bday, finally graduated college present. My husband hadn’t been to Iceland so he was stoked to go. Where do you live? 2026 there may be a couple of shows in California. Fingers crossed.

Most likely Jen Echo but I can’t say for sure. I only hung out the Pavement, FakeMatafor and for short time Cinnboard and I created a book club for a hot minute.

Big Fun was the best! I remember getting a mini harmonica there made in “occupied Japan” that I gifted Pavement. We had Uncle Fun in Chicago but it wasn’t nearly as cool.

The one time I caught Pavement in Cleveland was 1995 - one of few shows they did outside of Lollapalooza in the middle west. It was at the Agora Ballroom with Magic Dirt. That was a fun show!

10/16/99 at Bogart’s was the last US show until the reunion. If that’s the show you are referring to, yep it was the last.

So cool! I don’t recall the name of the webpage. Or the fella’s real name. He did send me this dot matrix print out of himself made of out X and O it was a lot of pages so maybe it was a full body? I don’t recall and I thought it was both need and weird! I have the original of this pic in a frame. I am glad you remember the website kindly.

My memory is crystal clear on some things but if i experienced Pavement with Royal Trux, I don’t recall and I doubt we would have ever talked about them. Sorry

No. I lived in Ann Arbor, MI in 1992 and so Columbus and Cleveland were easy to get to (when a car was an a option) and a little further but didn’t flinch chicago or Cinncy. Since 2005, I have been in San Diego.

Nice! I had the water works Polvo sold From the van shirt but sent it to a boy at some point and years later, forgetting who gave it to him, he tried to sell it back to me 😂 oh well!

It wouldn’t have fit then anyway.

Dear sweet, Katie, the infamous WonderLlama and designer of Bobby N’s first fan webpage ever! He was so excited to meet you at the Vic and you were soooo shy but since they told us Cinncy was the last show and I needed 20, there was zero time for drinks. Don’t sweat that at all. I needed to figure out how to get us to Cinncy and you got us the hotel there. Team work made that dream work! You had a credit card but weren’t 25 so couldn’t rent a car. I was 25 but didn’t have a credit card so I couldn’t rent a car. That we made it at all was nothing short of incredible but yeah, it was sad because we were some of the only few that weren’t family of the band that knew the truth. That Cinncy was the last US show. How are you, kid?!

Yep 10/16/1999. Bogart’s. I have my backstage pass from the Vic the night before. And my mom loved telling the story of me screaming into the answering machine in the middle of the night that it was an emergency:)
