Where in Canada does your friend live. I've checked the video places here
in the Great frozen north and so far no sign of the tape. Could you ask
your Canuk friend (I'm one too) where he got the tape, like city and video
outlet.

OK, now that we're into geography, where in Kentucky do _each_ of you
live? I'm in Jackson, TN, but spent twelve years in Owensboro, KY and a

Hi all,
After a leisurely stroll around the net tonight I found a few interesting
BT sites, this one in particular...
For those in Chicago, they can see Beautiful Thing on stage, presented by
the Famous Door Theatre Company.
http://xochi.tezcat.com/~fdoor/History/H97_98.html
I saw Beautiful Thing when it was on in Sydney and I highly recommend
seeing a stage version to anyone. After all, that's where BT started
out...on stage.

I have been told by a friend in Harlan County KY, that Your state is less

Thanks loads and there are several Blockbuster Video stores near to me.
Like so many others, I live in a very small town of 1500 but near enough
to several larger centers. we have a lot of what are known as bedroom
communities: No one works in them; we sleep here and work elsewhere.
On a last note, Nova Scotia laws are the same as Ontario laws so there's
no chance of the video being censored.

Great website with a nice poster. Regular performances will be Thursdays
through Sundays. That would be perfect for me that first full week of
performances. Anyone else able to go then? I'd prefer Thursday or
Friday to be back in time to get ready for the ten week summer session.
(I'm teaching four daytime and three nighttime classes! - But hey, it's
extra money and would help me afford the trip. <G>)
Anyone interested in May 28, 29 or 30? Check out the website for

My name is Joshua and I'm twenty. I was born on April 28th,
1978 at 12:08am. I live currently in Amherst, MA in the U.S. but will
be moving to London, Ontario this fall ) I think my favorite movie
is Titanic, but I rank BT up there with it... they are very much tied.
My favorite tele show was Star Trek: The Next Generation and even in
re-runs it's better than most that are currently running. My favorite
scene in BT was probably the Peppermint Foot Lotion scene because it was
just so beautiful. My favorite line was: STE: Do you fink I'm queer?
JAMIE: Don't matter what I fink. My favorite actors are Patrick Stewart
and Kyle MacLachlan and my favorite actresses are Woopie Goldberg and
Stockard Channing. My favorite character in BT is Ste, but I most
associate myself with Jamie (I just have a crush on Glen so I want to be
'Ste' ) I would love very much to see the Chicago show, but I have
no money, no transport, and no means of getting either. I've seen the
movie about fifteen times in the past month. My nicknames are Tender
Soul and Joshy ) I have light, really light brown hair, sorta
golden blond like Jamie's. My eyes are blue. I'm 5'10" and I don't
know how much I wiegh because I don't care. I went to Amherst Regional
High School ) My favorite thing to do in life is make people happy
somehow or another because it tends to make me happy and that is a great
way to be ;o) I'm using a Gateway 2000 P133/32M RAM and 32-bit color.
My browser is usually IE 4.01.

OK, I said I might put some photos on my web site. Well, I couldn't
resist playing with a colleague's scanner this afternoon, so I've added
a couple of shots of moi to my main page - the URL is listed below. I've
noticed some other BT list members have included pictures, so I thought
