The Savage Gardener #52

Welcome to the 52nd issue of the Savage Gardener! I saw the new TTMAB video
and it's AWESOME!! My definite favorite!! Only bad thing was when my mom came
to watch it and joined me in my drooling. Can you believe that?! My latest
competition is my own mother!! I'm like "Dan is MY man!". At least she thinks
highly of her son-in-law, as she likes to call him. Can you see us on Ricki
Lake in a few years? "Help! My Mother Wants My Husband!!!". Sigh...

                                          Savage Trivia

Last week's trivia question was: What was Darren's nickname when he was a
baby? The answer is: Doze. It was originally Bulldozer cuz he was so chubby,
but then it was shortened to Dozer, then to Doze. I can't help but wonder if
maybe this was the base for the nickname we fans use (Daz)? If anyone knows
the origin of Daz, please let me know! I've been wondering that since I first
became a fan! Anyhoo, congrats to those who got it right:

This week's trivia quessie is brought to us by [email protected]: when did
Darren get married? Note: this is not a date, it's a very important time in
the history of Savage Garden!

Hi Lauren and everyone else!I just wanted to say that I like the SG + Mariah
idea and that I'm a wicked big fan and a fairly new member(I only caught on
after I heard TMD) and don't have very much stuff on them before(like I
haven't even seen the entire I Want You video) that so if anyone has any
interviews,pics ect.that would be great! Thanx! E-Mail me at

I finally saw the video a couple days ago on Drive Thru America on MTV!!  I
was just sitting on my couch, surfing channels, paused at MTV and got this
weird feeling and I KNEW that it would be on--and about 5 seconds later it
started!  Darren looks as fine as ever, but I wondered if anyone else has
noticed how thin he looks now?  He has lost a LOT of weight since they
started--he used to have kind of chubby cheeks and now he's almost emaciated.
He still looks great--in fact I think he's even cuter than before, but I just
wondered if anyone else has noticed the change in him?

Darren HAS lost a lot of weight since he first started out. He's not as skinny
as Daniel is (seriously...who is?!) but he certainly is pretty thin now. And I
agree...he was cute then, but he's absolutely gorgeous now! ~Lauren :o)

**You want to show your Savage support? Then add your name to the Mine
petition!! Let Columbia know the only thing you find offensive about Mine is
their refusal of releasing it! Don't let Columbia keep you from hearing that
beautiful heart-wrenching Savage song!! If you haven't put your name on the
petition, then do it now by sending me your name and city/state (city/country
if you live outside the US). Join the rest of us fans as we fight Columbia!!

**You've seen the guys, now tell the world! If you went/are going to a Future
of Earthly Delites/To the Moon and Back concert, please send in a review!! If
I get enough I'll put out a special issue for it, so please join in!!

**You'll notice in the little green (for people with AOL) dividers I finally
don't have my desperate attempts at stalling until SG comes out with a new
song! From now on I'll just put lines from songs cuz I'm sick of stalling. For
newer members, I used to put song titles as the dividers but when I got
finished with them I had the hardest time figuring out what to put in there!

**Don't forget...the July 11th concert in Las Vegas will air LIVE online!
That's this Saturday at 11pm EST, 8pm PST! Check out www.savagegarden.com to
hear it!

**Some very lovely news regarding the SGer. I'll have to shut it down
temporarily cuz I'm going on vacation back east for about 2 weeks at the
beginning of August. This means the SGer will be down for at least 3-4 weeks
because I'll need time to get email and the new issue done. So the SGer may be
shut down for most of August. I really don't like this but I have no choice.
If you know of anyone who wants to subscribe while I'm gone, please have them
contact Sarah (her email address is on the website, and the addy is at the end
of the issue as always) and she'll put together a list of new subscribers for
me. Also, I have to ask you to PLEASE only send me email if it's really
important. I can get up to 75 messages per day and if ya multiply it by 2
weeks...yeah, that's a lot! And also remember I'll be gone for a while and
won't be able to help you if it's something you need right away. Sarah will be
putting up a notice about this on the website in the coming week or so. Ok, I
think that's it!

**Hmm...the guys played with Mariah Carey on June 28th at the B96 radio show
in Chicago. I'll let you all draw your own conclusions from this!
 
**A very, very special thank you goes out to a Savage fan tonight!! Many
thanks to Kec1982, who will be at SG's concert this very night (Thursday) in
San Francisco. She's helping me out by doing a HUGE favor for me. By now you
all know the sign for my concert in L.A. this Friday night will say: "Daniel -
You're the pilot I've been waiting for! [heart], Lauren" (also a marker for
those going to the concert so you can pick me out! And you certainly will...my
sign is glow-in-the-dark!!!). Well, Kim is holding up a sign at her San Fran
concert saying "Dan - Please be Lauren's pilot in L.A." and another friend of
mine will be holding a sign up in Denver saying "Dan - I hope you were truly
Lauren's pilot in L.A.". A major thank you to both of you!! I can't tell you
how much I appreciate this and how much this means to me!!!!

That's it for this week's issue of the Savage Gardener! The special issue
"Truly Madly...Mariah?" will be out this Saturday. I will hopefully see you
people going to the Greek Theater tomorrow night! Remember to look for my glow
in the dark sign: "Daniel - You're the pilot I've been waiting for! -[heart],
Lauren". In the meantime, have a happy Savage week!

Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
