You need to take yourself off if you really want to go:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pacificnorthwest-acappella/members

The only one besides yourself to remove you is John Neal,
harmony@.... You can try sending him an email directly - he's the
owner of this list. And John, for goodness sakes, take that coolhand user
off the list - you can do that, you know.

There will just be another 'memeber' along to spam.  I'm on two
other Yahoo groups and I get uh, provocative messages from those
nearly every day.

Anyone who is sensitive to these sorts of messages should probably
stop using the Internet -- On an average day, three 'enlargement'
messages get through my spam filter. :)

OK, but let me tell you how John Neal can fix this problem for good:

1) go to groups.yahoo.com
2) click on this group
3) bottom left, click on management
4) right side under group settings click membership
5) click edit
6) choose the radio button "Restricted (you approve all requests for
membership)"
7) save changes

after this, any SPAMer trying to get on the list will need to tell John
Neal, as owner of this list, their interest in a cappella. SPAMers don't
reply, so they never get added to the list.  this has worked for the 5
egroups that I "own."

So don't let this list be hijacked by SPAMers!  Or I'll start a similar
list with anti-SPAMer protection.

I have to recommend this site most highly. I too recently saw a
television show for the company listed at:
http://www.wrldofproducts.com I checked out their website and decided
to join. Using this absolutely incredible program I have been able to
slash our families groceries bills by about 70% each week! In fact
just this past weekend I purchased $ 197.94 worth of groceries and
only had to pay $ 13.22! This thing allows you to get just about
everything in the supermarket for pennies on the dollar. I feel sorry
for the supermarkets with programs like these. The company also has
an entire network of sites offering different types of savings. This
can be found at: http://www.networkofsavings.com They also operate
The Wholesale Mall of America where they offer over 68,000 items at
below wholesale prices. I was a little confused about the mall, you
have to click on log in and then register from the log in screen.
registration is free and once registered you may purchase anything
you wish. The mall website is at: http://wproducts.mygiftparty.com
This is truly a one stop for all your savings place.

It's almost time for the 2003 West Coast A Cappella Summit and the planning
team would like to get some input from YOU, the potential audience, as to
what subjects you would like to learn more about.

Also, we have a new daytime venue, Olney Hall and Auditorium on the campus
of the College Of Marin, where we can we can run more sessions then
previously over the two days of the event. Our standard sessions are in
place and we have classes confirmed on areas of interest such as vocal
percussion and contemporary arranging but we would like to hear from the a
cappella community on other subjects that would interest them.

The Showcase Concerts and Master Classes will take place as always but we
have not yet determined the participating groups.

If you would like to lead a a one-hour presentation, or have an idea/subject
you'd like to see a session on, then please do send an email to:

summit@...

Paul Sinasohn (Assistant Producer / Programs Manager) will respond to you
within 48 hours of receiving your note. We look forward to hearing from you.

ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF AN A CAPPELLA BLOG!

Blogs (weblogs) have been growing rapidly in popularity in recent months and
have become an exciting new addition to the internet. There are blogs on a
multitude of subjects and this might well be the first to focus on vocal
harmony.

Want to know what's happening right now in the big wide world of a cappella?
All the latest vocal harmony news, gossip, media articles and happenings are
posted to this steadily updated site along with links to learn more about
the articles.

Come visit the site and if you find it interesting then please add us to
your bookmarks. There's lots of great a cappella news to come...

Groups do add us to your mailing list. We will always be most interested in
receiving stories and articles about a cappella and I encourage

On Saturday night, there is a show at Kane hall that I would totally
recommend attending.  The Semmarit chorus from Finland is performing.
Studio One (my group) has done three shows with these guys now and they are
really interesting. Imagine 25 guys age 22-40 each with a headset wireless
mic.  They perform only original songs, a capella (except for a little
drumming, digirie-doo, oboe, and various other acoustic devices) with lots
of effects.  Massive choreography, very very fun, and very out of the mould,
at least for a chorus of this size.  Only two of the songs in their show are
in Finnish, the rest are English.

The shown is at 7:30, and you can buy tickets through the theater office.

I've had some folks ask where Kane hall is.  How terribly Seattle-centric of
me.  Kane hall is here in Seattle on the university of washington campus.
You can get directions from the uw site at http://www.washington.edu .

Sorry for the oversight.

I was just curious who was there!  Also, was there a specific reason
you were there..?  Such as, a specific group, just because a cappella

Hi all,

Realtime is looking forward to competing at the Northwest Sweeps!
It's been a while since I have competed (1993 with The Edge, finishing
2nd to M-Pact).

My question: how many groups will be there in 2004, and what kind of
groups?

Cheers,
Tom

Tom,

I had the pleasure of listening to your quartet in Spokane at the Districts
earlier this year and must tell you it was INCREDIBLE! With a powerful
lineup, your group was the talk among many circles, esp. after your
performance at the hospitality room that evening! :) Anyway, at the sweeps
one can see different kinds of groups: Vocal Jazz, Contemporary (mostly),
Barbershop, Doo-Wop and sometimes even Choral! Anyway, if you want to know
my recommendation, do have atleast ONE outstanding Jazz piece in your set to
prove that you can really blend, and get all those complex progression pitch
perfectly (and I'm sure RealTime is quite capable of that :) Anyway, good
luck and all the very best at the sweeps! God Bless... :)

Wil.
