There's a rumor going around that Carron Cruse's recent departure from the Fiddler's Dream governing board was due to other board members wanting to paint the interior of Fidd's black. I know this because I've received several identically-worded emails on the topic, which subsequently everyone and their cow have forwarded on with increasingly lurid subject lines to their entire address book, leaving the Arizona folk community adrift in a warm, juicy blanket of spam. In not one of these messages does the sender hint that they got this information from Carron, or asked her whether it was true. In fact, another board member has gone on record denying the rumor.
So what is this rant leading up to? If you're still concerned about the remodelling going on at Fidd's, by all means go to their board meeting on Sunday.
BUT DON"T FREAKING SPAM ME ABOUT IT!
Remember kids, e-mail is a force so powerful it can only be used for good or evil. Choose wisely.

FYI: and for the "I" of anybody else reading this:
I'll make a long story unbelievably short, since yesterday's Fidd's board meeting was pretty amazing.
What this all boils down to is: two people on the board don't like each other. Each has contributed to the problem, neither has done anything to make it better. Consequently, some well-meaning (but, as I found out, potentially sick) supporters of one side of this stupid fiasco thought it would be a good idea to commit e-mail and internet fraud by stealing the mailing list of an uninterested third party in the folk music community and use it to send out a pointless, error-filled, half-truth-spattered letter in support of one of the people involved in this stupid spat.
Once everything was out in the open, we came to the AMAZING conclusion that these two people don't like each other. One of them may leave the board although we encouraged that person to stay with some provisos; namely, that certain tactics and methods of "expressing one's self" (That's the best, most democratic way I can put it) aren't used again.
Regarding painting the stage black: this is an ancient suggestion, brought up about a year ago and tabled last December. We haven't discussed it since. What's more, the idea was originally brought up by another board member who was not involved in the spat discussed yesterday, other than in his position as a board member.
I can't imagine what this board would be like if we were PAID to be on it.
TT
I was sooooo pissed because Fidd's wouldn't paint the inside fuschia and lime, I moved to Kentucky.
