Hola everyone!!  How was your TURKEY DAY???  :-)  I hope you didn't eat too
much!!  Well, here's the newsletter!

**Last week's strange survey/contest was a lot more successful than I thought
it would be.  I was asking all of you what sport(s) you would teach Darren
and/or Daniel.  Here's what I got...
==========================================================
If I were to teach Darren or Daniel a sport I think I would teach them ballet
or lyrical dancing, because dancing is what I do best!  I think they'd be
perfect for it too because the first step to become any kind of dancer is that
you really need to be able to listen to, feel and perform the music.

==========================================================
Hmmm...If I was going to teach both Darren and Daniel a sport, it would be
soccer. Soccer is my fav sport, so I'd be curious on their skills, see how
they can you those Austrailian legs of theirs...(And, I don't know if it's
just me, but I've never seen them in shorts in any of their pics...LOL)

If I could teach Darren a sport it would be that wrestling but NOT really
rough. Just so that we could be close all the time. I wouldn't even care if he
was stronger and hurt me cause i'd be mesmerised by him.

==========================================================
The sport I would teach Darren and Daniel would have to be, with no doubt in
my mind,  SWIMMING!  It is the only sport I am qualified enough to teach them
but I think it is the best choice, noneoftheless.  I will give you my reasons
why.  First of all, must I mention the uniform they would have to wear.
Imagine both of them in a speedo.  Shows off there legs and stomach very well.
Great thought!  Dont  you think?  And then there is the WATER part.  When they
jump in they will be wet.  Woohoo!!!  Need I say more.  Hot guys in
"underwear" dripping wet.  Awww...glorious.  Not to mention these arent just
guys.  They are Savage Garden, the men from down under.  Now they would be
good at this sport because I mean...Have you seen the Butterfly?  Not the song
by Mariah Carey...ick.  The stroke well if not I will spare you and not
explain it, but it is soo good.  If you see someone swimming like a dolphin
you will know.  Anyways, i think that is enough reason to "justify" why they
should "swim with a raincoat" If you get my meaning? Well not exactly a
raincoat but it says swim.

FOR THE SURVEY I'D SAY THAT I WOULD TEACH DANIEL BASKETBALL BECAUSE HE'S SO
TALL, THAT'S WHY HE WOULD BE PRETTY GOOD AT IT. =) STAY KEWL PEOPLE

==========================================================
if i could teach them to play a sport it would be mat ball. im sure they can
catch, kick and run. but you can have as many people as your want on the mat.
and you can only force out on first base.

==========================================================
Wow, by the time the two get done with all of you, they'll be able to enter
the olympics!!  (BTW, were those first few colors too ugly??)

**Well, I also had a trivia question this week, and NO ONE got it right!!  A
couple people came very close, but no one hit it on the dot.  The right answer
is...
Darren - 5'9"
Daniel  - 6'1"

That's a pretty big difference in height, don't you think?  :-)

**The single for Truly Madly Deeply has been released in the US featuring I'll
Bet He Was Cool as a bonus track.  So, go out and look for it.  It should be
in stores now!

**In Australia, Universe has been getting great airplay, but for some reason,
it hasn't been doing very well on the charts ~ only ever getting up to number
26 on the ARIA chart and this week it drops to number 42.  In the US, Truly
Madly Deeply debut's at number 26.  GREAT!!

**The "Future of Earthly Delites" tour has just given out more dates!!  Here

**There were a couple comments this week.
==========================================================
Dear readers of the SavageGardener,

     As of Monday Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS, killed himself in
his Australian home.  Though I don't know many of the details, it is a
horrible tragedy.  Michael had everything: money, fame, family, and a problem
we didn't know of.  INXS, one of the four bands to make it big in the US from
Australia, were an inspiration to Darren and Daniel.  As stated in an MTV
interview, they hoped to have a career as long and profitable as INXS.  And
what a career they had.  They had 12 albums and were still making music.
There music influenced Savage Garden's work as show in "Tears of Pearls."   I
would like to say goodbye to Michael Hutchence (who looked a lot like Darren)
who greatly attriuted to the music industry.  If anyone has any comments or
know why he did it feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].

**Let's see.  The trivia question for this week is a very easy one.  So I will
make it harder.  First, tell me BOTH Darren and Daniel's birthdays ~ month,
date, AND year ~ and where they were each born ~ city, country, AND continent.
But then also, you have to tell me where you got the information.  I mean like
what website.  Kewl!  THANX!

**The contest this week is who can give me the most contest and survey ideas!!
AHH I've run out!  So please send me ANYTHING you think of!! THANX!

**Well, over this past week, I've gotten 11 votes for the sending a picture
out with each newsletter.  As I said in the last newsletter, I will only do
this if 20 or more people send me an "OK".  I mean, there are around 200
people in this club, so I know it can't be hard to get 20 votes!!  I only need
9 more (and from DIFFERENT people might I add... :-)

**Well, I guess that's it for this week.  Hope you enjoyed the newsletter.
Remember, feel free to send me ALL comments and suggestions!!  And if any of
you have any news that you found out on Savage Garden, please send it to me
(some people already do this, and thank you!).

Buh bye for now!

Savagely yours,
Andrea ([email protected])
