   Amy Ksir talks about meeting the band:
   Amy: Anyway, [Haverford alumna] sarah marie and I met at a math
   conference, because we both do algebraic geometry, and we were
   talking. And after a couple of days of knowing me, she had sort of
   figured out what kind of person I was, and she said "Oh, I bet you're
   a vegetarian, and hang out with all of those Bryn Mawr people, and go
   see Broadside Electric." And I was thinking, "Who?" So she told me to
   go see Broadside Electric. I forgot all about it until I heard you on
   the radio. And then I said: "Damn!"
   Jim: You wrote us that e-mail that I just found again on the computer.
   Amy: Mmm. Right.
   Helene: I thought you were a Bryn Mawr student.
   Amy: Because I was hanging out with Nif and Stasa?
   Helene: And also because you're just that way.
   Amy: Right. And that's the thing that sarah marie sensed.
   Joe: So you sent the e-mail ...
   Tom: Which e-mail was that?
   Amy: Yeah, I think they gave the e-mail address on the radio, so then
   I e-mailed. I found the website. Maybe I just e-mailed them, I can't
   remember, so I checked the calendar and then I said: "Oh, they're
   playing at The Mermaid Inn in January!" I didn't know where the
   Mermaid was.
   Jim: You did or you didn't?
   Amy: I'm trying to remember if I had ever been there before in my
   life ... I had! Because that was actually the first time - OK I lied,
   the first time that I met Helene and Tom was at The Mermaid a year
   before that.
   Helene
   & Jim: Really?
   Amy: Yeah, at Open Circle. You probably don't remember, it was years
   ago.
   Joe: What was your impression then? Did they stick out?
   Amy: They seemed like really cool people that I wanted to know and
   hang out and play with.
   Helene: Too bad it didn't work out.
   Tom: I remember a time when you were there with Ann and Robert and
   Larry and you all did that song about wanting to be a farmer.
   Joe: Hey, I want to know about musical beginnings here. I want to know
   about your tortured childhoods.
   Helene: Well, there was "the rack."
   Joe: "Give the rack another turn!"
   Tom: The rack: An instrument of torture.
