Hello all!!  Wow - has Savage Garden had an EXCITING week!!  Well lets get
started on the news!!

**The ARIA Awards were this week as everyone probably knows by now.  Anyway, I
know I said this in the update, but the boys won 10 of the 13 awards they were
nominated for!!!  They set a new Australian record!!  And guess what?!?!?
Darren cut his hair!!!!  It's about as short as Dan's now!!  Send in your
comments about what you think of it and I'll have a special section in either
the update or the next newsletter.  The awards they won were for...

****************************GREAT JOB GUYS*****************************

**The new single was announced this week also (yes, I know I'm repeating info
I already put out on the update, but OH WELL  :-)  It is going to be
'Universe'.  The single itself will includes a remix of 'Universe' and two
bonus tracks that I do not know yet.  That will be released in Australia in
mid-October.  And the single of 'Truly Madly Deeply' will be coming to the US
VERY soon!!!!

**What happened to all the webpage nominations???  I only got 3 TOTAL!!!  Last
week we had such good responses to the contest...What happened to you guys??
:-) lol  That's ok.  I think I'm gonna have this webpage thing go another week
and see if I can get any more nominations than these...

1.  Savage Garden: The Official Site
     http://www.village.com.au/savage/index.html
2.  The Unofficial Savage Garden Homepage
     http://www.ozemail.com.au/~harnisch/index.htm
3.  Michelle's Savage Garden Site
     http://members.aol.com/DarrenGrl/savage.html

That's all I got this week.  If I don't get at least 4 or 5 more nominations,
then I guess I'll have to nominate a couple myself!  lol  :-)  So don't send
your votes in until NEXT week...  Thanx!

**There is also another contest this week.  It was requested by VouloirMoi.
It was to have a poetry contest.  I think it's a GREAT idea...  So, all you
have to do is create a SG poem.  Just make it about 7 or 8 lines.  I mean, 3
lines isn't a poem :-)  There aren't really anymore "rules" so have fun!!

**There were only a couple comments this week...
============================================================
In one of the web adresses it said that they might be touring the US either in
late sept. or  in January.

Hey all Savage Garden fans! I know a lot of you use mIRC  (internet relay
chat) when you're online.... so if you do, drop by #SavageGardenUS on any
DALnet server. It's a great channel, formed by US fans, but open to everyone!
It's always a lot of fun - we hope to see you there!

**I can't believe this webpage!!!  Someone actually had the nerve to create a
"We Hate Savage Garden Page!!"  SaVagESteF told me about this.  You don't know
how mad this makes me! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  If you want to go check it out, the
address is...

SAVAGE FARTING
http://members.tripod.com/~savagefarting

That page makes me soooo mad!!!!!!!

**Well, I don't really have anything else to say in here.  Sorry if this
newsletter is kinda boring.  (Well, compared to the last one, ANYTHING could
be boring :-)  So....I guess I'll end it now...  Oh yeah... don't forget about
all the contests and surveys this week.  There are three of them...

1.  Tell me what you think about Darren's new haircut
2.  Nominate your fave SG webpage
3.  Write your own SG Poems

Thanx a lot, and I hope to get LOTS AND LOTS of responses (let's try and beat
last week's record of 14!!! <-- that's A LOT of responses!  But there are over
100 people in this club, so there is a slight possiblity that ALL members will
respond and the newsletter will be sooo long I will have to send you two
different e-mails.  Ok, anyway...)  Heehee :-)  See ya'll later!

~Savagely yours~  <-- hehe I made that up :-)
