[rec.music.gaffa] Edie Brickell -- should I wear a Kate T-shirt?

ed@das.llnl.GOV (Edward J. Suranyi) (04/08/91)

I'm going to the Edie Brickell concert in Berkeley on the 18th, 
and I've been thinking about wearing one of my Kate Bush T-shirts,
just to see if anybody comments.  What do you think?  I wore one
to a 10,000 Maniacs concert a couple of years ago and only a couple
of people noticed.

What T-Shirts have you got!? Where did you get them?

Go for it! Get up front - maybe Edie will see it. Maybe she's a Kate
fan.
Please tell me/us about the concert. I really love their stuff.

Yeah, I think I will wear one!  Thanks to Judi, also, for the
encouragement.

I currently have four Kate T-shirts:

1)  The back picture of _Hounds of Love_ (i.e. _The Ninth Wave_).
I found this about two years ago at a store called Berkeley Beat,
in Berkeley, Calif.  They had another one but it sold a few months
later, and the store has gone out of business since then.  I saw
the same shirt for a while at Rasputin's in Hayward, Calif., but
it's gone now.  I never saw any others.

2)  The front cover of _The Whole Story_.  I found this in an obscure
record store in Montreal, near Dominion Square.  I can't remember the
name of the store, but it was the only Kate t-shirt I saw there.

3) Kate in her famous leotard picture.  I was in another obscure
store in Montreal.  They had a postcard of this picture, and
as I took it too the cashier the clerk said they had just gotten
a t-shirt transfer with that picture, and did I want one.  Did I
ever!

4) The 1990 Kate Bush Convention t-shirt.  Only another fan would
recognize this as a Kate t-shirt, though.  It's all black with 
a tiny KT symbol (the new one) in red.

They are VERY hard to find, as you see.  I've found only these four
in five years of searching.  But don't give up.  Andy Marvick has an
entire Kate Bush wardrobe!

As for getting up front at the concert, I'm afraid I got my ticket
too late.  I'm up on the balcony.  I WON'T make that mistake
if Kate comes on tour! (I hope, I hope, I hope . . .)
