just for the weirdness of it all!
> 6: B-side - Counting Upside Down

their knobs at the end of the song ;)

> 9: What should the Enemy video feature? I dunno, I'm picturing
Julia and the boys on a train or something with her 'enemy' close by
and you can feel the tension in the air, also run ins on the street
etc. I reckon it could be a good 'walking around town' video.
> 10: Who would you most like to see open for Fur Patrol? BugGirl
> 11: Who would you most like to see Fur Patrol open for?
Themselves ;)
> 12: What song would you LOVE to see them cover? Not sure, but I'd
like to see Steve singing perhaps, definitely a very loud rockin' song!

> 14: What do you wish they sold as merch at shows? Umm, any merch
would be good! But I'd love to see a cool bumper sticker.

my Pet cover autographed at the Annandale and my mate Jeff was trying
to tell them all that I was a lesbian and I'm screaming out that I'm
not. So Simon went and wrote something like "Karena isn't a lesbian,
apparently" - URGH! Other funny one was when Andrew nearly fell off
the stage at the Annandale except another girl and myself caught him.
Well, I caught the bass with my free hand, it was going straight
towards my head dammit! Andrew had this big grin on his face (normally
he's very straight-faced or has a look of concentration as you'd
know). So it was great to see this beaming smile for once! Julia was
pissing herself laughing. After the show Andrew came up and said
thanks for saving his life ;) I said I saved your bass mate! He said
don't say that! It's true! After a moments contemplation, he said
thanks for that, I can afford a month in hospital, but I can't afford
a new bass! :)

that 'cabaret' number they sometimes do at the end of shows "so go
on..."

> a) Julia

There's some band called Fur Patrol that has some strikingly similar
people! Are they their evil twins?

That's enough rambling for one afternoon, I've got work to do...
