YesServices March 2002 Update   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #36 of 45 |
Greetings, Fellow YES fans!

There are seven (7) new updates in this March 2002 letter! Here we go!

------------------------------------------
1. VENUES, TICKETS & TOURS
------------------------------------------

We are all waiting expectantly for YesWorld's official announcement of the
next YES tour(s). YesServices is gearing up to meet all of your ticket,
venue, and travel info needs. As soon as the tour dates and cities are
announced, we will begin posting this information for all venues:

physical addresses,
phone numbers,
email addresses,
URLs,
ticket source information,
seating charts, and
hall capacities.

We will also continue to provide complete ground transport info for every
city in which YES performs. Links for airlines worldwide are listed. You
will be able to access all of this information through the YesServices
homepage <http://www.zenponies.com/yes/>.

We enthusiastically solicit fan questions, corrections, additional
information, or comments about any tour information posted. Please stand
by! This will all be happening soon!

------------------------------------------
2. THE CALLING
------------------------------------------

THANK YOU to everyone who has been participating in "The Calling" Project.
We have received quite a bit of positive feedback from fans whose request
efforts have resulted in more radio play of YES music. Please continue
requesting "Magnification," and let us know where you are hearing it!

We are discovering that radio stations, which would not normally play YES,
are now responding with great excitement to "Magnification." The music is
showing up on stations where you would least expect to hear it! So don't
let a station's "stylistic categorization" deter your request efforts.
Keep asking!

We have also encountered several stations whose program directors said,
"We'd love to play it, but we don't have it."

If you receive this response from any radio station, please notify us
*immediately*!

Left Bank Management has now provided us with a direct-contact
representative at Beyond who will personally make sure that "Magnification"
is distributed to those stations which want to play it and do not yet have
the CD.

If stations want "Magnification," we'll get it to 'em! Just let us know!
Thanks again, EVERYONE!

------------------------------------------
3. AND YOU AND I NEWS
------------------------------------------

There have been several new additions to the "AND YOU AND I" collection of
online groups, clubs, and email lists which feature YES as a focus.

(a) YesFANZ <http://www.yesfanz.com/> is the newest and most active of
the English-language groups. The creators of the "YES Festival for
Australia and New Zealand" are organizing fans Down Under in preparation
for future fan-gatherings and other exciting YES celebrations. The group is
open to everyone, and all are invited to visit the website and participate!
At the local level, members of YesFANZ meet once a month in Sydney,
Australia. To join the global email list, or to request additional
information, please write to Robert Forbes at:
<forbes@...>.

(b) NewEARS <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newears-list/> is the official
mailing list of the New England Art Rock Society. NewEARS is dedicated to
sharing and promoting progressive rock in the New England area. The group
also sponsors listening nights for fans locally. More information is
available at their website: <http://www.newears.org/>

(c) Also of great interest is "The Israeli Progressive Rock Forum,"
<http://forums.nana.co.il/forum.asp?id=1995>, which has been particularly
active since the European release of "Magnification." This Hebrew-language
forum has made great strides in promoting YES music and its peaceful
philosophies among Israeli and Middle Eastern fans. All YES fans who speak
Hebrew will greatly enjoy this group! Check it out!

------------------------------------------
4. THE FANSHOP
------------------------------------------

We are delighted to announce that New Zealand graphic artist Paul Michael
Moon Rogers has joined the YesServices FanShop! For the past 12 years,
Paul has worked in the School of Art and Design of Auckland University of
Technology, and has been a loyal and devoted YES fan for 27 years. He
freely credits YES and Roger Dean for the inspiration they have given him
to explore many forms of crossover and eclectic art production. Paul's
sale site now features 14 works of diverse styles and perspectives. You
are cordially invited to browse and shop!

Also available at this time: Wendy Vig's book of poetry, "Fountains of
Gold," beautifully illustrated by Jon Anderson; and Alan Giana's gorgeous,
limited-edition lithograph prints, inspired by YES lyrics.

Coming Soon: There are a more than a dozen other YES-inspired artists,
writers, and musicians whose creations will soon be available in the
FanShop. Negotiations and site construction are ongoing. Please check the
FanShop often for the arrival of new vendors!

The FanShop exists for YES-inspired artists, writers, musicians and
manufacturers who wish to share their perspectives and sell their materials
to other YES fans. If you are such an artist, with "YES-appropriate"
merchandise, please contact us. There are guidelines and requirements for
placement in the FanShop, and all inquiries are welcome! All sales are
between buyer and seller only.

------------------------------------------
5. SPREAD THE NEWS
------------------------------------------

At STN, you may submit announcements and news items that you wish to share
with the global YES fanbase. A submission link is provided on the
YesServices homepage. Here are two of the latest announcements:

(a) Congratulations to Sergey Tutov on the 12 Anniversary of "Back to the
Universe," his progressive music radio show which is heard on several
Moscow radio stations <http://www.martin.homepage.ru/ainfo.htm>. Since
1990, Sergey has been an influential force in Russia, promoting,
broadcasting and popularizing various kinds of progressive music,
especially that of YES. Sergey's work over the years has been greatly
appreciated by Russian fans, who were so beautifully rewarded for their
patience and enduring love with two Russian YES concerts during the
YesSymphonic Tour. Thank you, Sergey, for everything you do!

(b) Former YES member, Bill Bruford, appeared on the Jim Baugh Outdoors
TV show on The Outdoor Channel USA. The show was dedicated to him and his
history, including his brief stint with YES. The program can be viewed
free of charge at this website: <http://www.jimbaughoutdoors.com> When
you enter the website, click the button which says, "To Watch Jim Baugh
Outdoors Programs." Bruford's show is the third one in the list. It is
broadband, and you will need the Real One Free Player, which is
downloadable at the website.

------------------------------------------
6. LIKE LEAVES WE TOUCH
------------------------------------------

We'd like to officially welcome all of the new additions to the "LIKE
LEAVES WE TOUCH" Project! There are now approximately 500 volunteers from
around the world who are available to help other YES fans with their travel
questions and needs.

"Like Leaves" lists YES fans and their email addresses geographically. If
you are moving, traveling on business, vacationing, or seeing a YES concert
in a new location, feel free to email any of the YES fan volunteers. These
wonderful people will assist you personally with information about their
areas to help make your trip as easy and pleasant as possible. Make new
friends! Find other fans in your areas! Sign up today!

If you would like to join the "Like Leaves" Project, just send your name,
email address, and the country (or state) in which you live to
<Michele@...>. Everyone is welcome!

------------------------------------------
7. OTHER PROJECTS
------------------------------------------

(a) YesServices will soon open a new area called "TIME AND A WORD."
We'll let you know more about this when compilation and construction are
completed.

(b) In response to numerous fan requests -- (and demands!) -- "YES IN THE
PRESS" has been re-opened at a new URL.

"YES in the Press" can now be accessed at:
http://members.aol.com/yesinthepress/index.html

At this time, there are approximately 200 complete-text versions of YES
articles -- (some from other countries which have been had translated into
English by YES fans abroad). In addition, there are also over 500 hardcopy
YESPress articles waiting to be posted in the archive section. The site is
constantly being updated, enlarged and enhanced. If you don't find what
you're looking for today, check back again. The work is always in
progress. Thank you to everyone who has been contributing materials,
working on translations, mailing hardcopy items from scrapbooks, and
offering support, suggestions and encouragement. *You* make it happen!

------------------------------------------

We are dedicated to providing information services to YESfans worldwide.
If you have ideas for site development, or information needs that you would
like to see fulfilled, drop us an email! We are here to serve!

Have a wonderful day!
