Fiction Plane at Ian's
by Maggie White 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Fiction Plane played last night at Ian's restaurant in Beverly Hills. Ian posted something on his message board about it, but I didn't see it until this morning. Here's what he said: "Just to let everyone know, Mr Sumner will be playing here tonight. The young one, of course. Joe and his band of Limey loonies have been in town for recording and have stopped by a few times already this week, but tonight they'll be bringin' in their gear and doing a set. Start's at about 10. Sorry for the short notice, but that's how it goes." Maggie

He's baa-aack...

After a long week off, Sting is back in People. This time he's one of a group of celebrities who've lost a bundle in the latest stock market dive. Sting's losses are listed at about 14.5 million. Phil Collins comes in at minus 14 million, and Sir Paul lost a whopping 84.5 million, but since he's worth 1.1 BILLION (yes, with a "B"), 84.5 million is pocket change. Lovely little color head shot of Sting accompanies the article. BTW, Sting was mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's radio show today. Limbaugh was vilifying Sting and others like him for trying to save the rainforests when recent research seems to indicate that the grasslands are more valuable. Yeah, whatever. Have a great week!

Santa's Boyfriend/Fiction Plane
by Ruediger Hoeckel 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

Hi folks, I'm still looking for the second CD "Capture all the faces" of Santa's Boyfriend/Factory X/Fiction Plane/The Caustics (?) that was available at their shows in England around June 2002. An original copy is preferred but a CD-R copy will do, too. In return I offer an excellent live CD from their first and only German concert at the Haldern festival on August 11, 2001 (includes the soundcheck!). If you are one of the lucky CD owners please contact me privately. Cheers, RÃ¼diger ===== RÃ¼diger's website: http://www.rhoeckel.de Please visit my Ebay auctions: http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rhoe… __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

I too have a Police mirror. Mine is about 4" wide and 8" tall. It's entirely black (!) with the Reggatta photo in white. At the top it reads "The Police" stenciled in purple. A friend of mine gave it to me in college back in 1989, which can only mean one thing...I'm old!!! Mitch p.s. - I'm not *that* old :>

collected stuff
by Kinetic Kid 13 Aug '02

Hey everyone, Just realized that i have an original poster from the show at the Mogador in France in my hallway. My girlfriend got it from ex-bestfriend who's dad went to france and got it from a wall during the tour of that year... He was a big fan. I also have a Regatta de Blanc back patch on my old levis cut sleeve jean jacket. It's an antique now. For me anyways... Wore it alot, i thought about having Outlandos Airbrushed on my old leather jacket back when it was in big fashion to have one. Would have been cool.

mirrors
by Maggie White 12 Aug '02

Not sure if they are the same thing, but back in the day those kind of mirrors were given as prizes at carnival/fair games. You know, pop four balloons with dull darts and win a giant stuffed gorilla or a rock mirror. The Stones' "lips" were always a popular design, and I remember seeing the Ghost faces one a lot. The Police ones turn up on eBay pretty regularly. Usually less than $10, if I remember correctly. Maggie

Hi Dave and everybody, I couldn't believe it when I read about your mirror,because I found something similar a few weeks ago and have been meaning to post here about it!:-D I bought it from the Police section of eil.com for £12.Mine is perhaps 10 inches long by 8 inches tall (though I'd have to check to be sure),and it has the picture from the cover of "Reggatta de Blanc" overlaid on the mirror in dark blue.Then in the top left-hand corner there's a blue triangle with the word "Police" on it in silver Gothic/old-fashioned script.It's framed but I don't know if the frame's original,and I'll have to take another look at it to see if there's any date/manufacturer's name there.I wonder if there was a mirror for every tour (apart from Outlandos presumably)...
