Note From Sandy
Hey fellow 2Ge+herites!
Hey! This is so exciting! So much has happened in one week!
-Make sure to check out the Updates section for lots of new information!
-You are currently subscribed to a newsletter that has 300 members! Thank you all for making 2G2d a success!
-Lots of 2Ge+her newsletters have been ending in recent days. I have received e-mails concerning this trend and am writing here to reassure you that 2Ge+her 2day continues to grow in number and in spirit. I will continue to provide you with the best and most current 2G news on the web, so keep it 2G and don't worry!
OLD YET IMPORTANT BUSINESS:
-Request (subj: System Sound Suggestion) some of your favorite 2G quotes from the movie or series, and I'll record them as system-sound-compatible .wav files to be sent out in later issues!
-Living in Canada, eh? For your own sake, let me know (subj: I'm From Canada).
-Remember when you were trying to get a 2G doll but didn't know where they were sold? Now that you've got one, help your fellow fans out by letting me know where you got it (subj: I Bought My Doll At...).

I got my Noahsmom.com autographed picture on Thursday and the picture CD yesterday! To all of you who are still waiting, it shouldn't be too much longer! Here are the details on these "awesum" items!
--The picture currently being sent is a close-up of Noah's face with his hands behind his head.
-His eyes are sort of closed and a little red around the edges. He's got shaggy, sandy blonde hair.
-He signed "Stay Cool!" and his name, although I must admit that it's a little tiny and upside down according to the focus of the camera.
--There are 203 .jpg-formatted pictures on the disk.
-The majority of them (I'd say 97% of them) are extremely high quality.
-There are baby pictures, 2Ge+her pictures, on-the-set and behind-the-scenes pictures, and plenty of shots of Noah from modelling photo shoots, birthdays, and just around the house.

There is finally news on the Canadian fundraisers for The Michael Cuccione Foundation! (Source: Kellysouthpaw@aol.com, Ashley Kleinknecht at spinny_princess56@hotmail.com, 2getherdotcom.com)
--The Cuccione's dinner will take place at the Italian Cultural Center in Vancouver, Canada on September 22. Tickets will be $60.00. More information on this event will be posted at www.makingadifference.org as the sale date approaches. The dress code will be mid-formal, with a shirt and tie for boys and a dress for girls. As has been reported by Michael's former agent, Kristina Van De Walle (Michael Cuccione's agent), there will be a silent auction and a 50-50 draw in addition to a wonderful meal.
--The Cucciones are also holding a Golf-A-Thon in Vancouver on June 24 to raise money. For more information on that event, keep checking www.makingadifference.org.
--Another dinner with profits going toward the foundatin will be held in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada on October 27. The tickets go for $45.00 and are currently selling quickly. To attend, e-mail Ashley at spinny_princess56@hotmail.com ASAP!
--In Coquitlam, "Relay for a Friend" (a run for cancer research) will probably take place in June and will most likely have some tie-in with Michael's foundation.
--Michael's younger brother, Stephan, has also recently been doing some fundraising for his brother's charity.
NEW!
There is news at Noahsmom.com!
--"Noah shot a new pilot for the WB channel. We will keep you updated if it is picked up for the fall season. Cross your fingers if you want to see Noah every week in this new series this fall!"
--The new and improved Noahsmom.com will be up on May 25th (next Friday)!
--Check out the new Noahsmom.com store! It is still under construction, but you can go see and use it in the meantime. The links are for items that are somehow related to Noah or his family. Pretty cool!
--The "In Memory of Michael" message board will be taken down soon.
--Mrs. B's Q&A message board has proven to be a great experiment. Mrs. B couldn't keep up! Watch for a new section from Mrs. B in the new website.
--The light saber shirt will be retired soon. If you still want one, you'd better order soon. The Bastians have a new artist making a new character T-shirt.
--Check out the recently updated Pictures link in the navigation bar. It's only got a few pictures, but they're fun!

Nigel Dick has spoken! Well...errr...sort of. In response to member Emily's e-mail, Nigel wrote:
"My big hope is that I can contribute something towards a CD for Michael. :-)"
We've all got our fingers crossed for a new CD from the guys or a release of Michael's last recordings (Alex and Kevin have publically verified that Michael did leave a few solo recordings behind which Nigel and the guys may remix and sell for charity), so could this be a step in the right direction? (Source: Pippie dog@aol.com, interview with Alex Solowitz, Kevin Farley, and Noah Bastian at KISS FM studios in Los Angeles on February 9, 2001)
NEW!
"2Ge+her: The Movie" can now be purchased! It features exclusive interviews, part of their 03-28-00 TRL appearance, the U+Me=Us (Calculus) video, and a brief tribute to Michael!
As a side note, although the movie was released on May 8, there are plenty of locations that have not stocked it or have only stocked the DVD. Don't let this fool you. The movie has been released on VHS *and* DVD and can be purchased in both versions on Amazon.com and cdnow.com ($10.38 VHS/$13.99 DVD on cdnow.com and $12.98 VHS/$19.98 DVD in stores). In case you care, I bought my VHS at amazon.com and my DVD at my local Barnes and Noble. (Source: SweetyPi1288)

Holy cow! MTV actually updated their 2G page at mtv.com! They took off the links for the transcripts to the chat in January, so I guess they got lazy and deleted all of our e-mails, but they added this in their place:
"BLI 106.1 (Long Island, NY) is dedicating a portion of it's proceeds for the BLI's Summer Jam 2001 to the Michael Cuccione Foundation. The concert is on May 27th at Jones Beach and includes performances by Dream, Wyclef Jean, BBMak, No Authority, Nine Days, and more. Tickets can be purchased through all Ticketmaster locations. Michael Cuccione and 2Ge+her brought down the house at last year's Summer Jam."

--Noah has apparently been cast as Griffin, Dyna Girl's trusty, gizmo-loving sidekick.
--At this point, the pilot has been filmed, commissioned by Warner Brothers (WB) Television, but has not yet been picked up for future air time.

Quote/Fun Fact
Question: What are you guys planning on doing on Valentine's Day?
Alex: I don't have...
Kevin: We need a Valentine.
Alex: Yeah, we could use a Valentine.
Kevin: None of us have Valentines. ::voice beginning to waver::
Alex: You know, I remember one Valentines I got stood up by this girl, and I winded up eating at Abe's Deli with my parents.
Jo-jo (DJ): Oh! That's sad!
Alex: And this was actually last year, so I'm expecting another exciting time with my parents.
Kevin: It is, it's a depressing holiday when you don't have...
Alex: It is. ::chuckles sadly to self::
Kevin: ...a significant other.

8. Sister
from "2Ge+her Again"
(Michael "Smidi" Smith, Clark Gorder, George Rowe III)
MICKEY: Ooo...
CHAD:
You've always told me if I ever wanna leave...
QT:
If I found a better girl, someone who lets me be...
MICKEY:
That you wouldn't stand in my way.
Oh, girl, I never meant to break your heart.
CHORUS (ALL):
I promise you I didn't know (oh no) she was your sister.
What (what) could I do? She's so dope (oh yeah).
I couldn't resist her -- your little sister.
DOUG (spoken): What?
JERRY (with MICKEY harmonizing):
And who woulda thought she's really that young
And, unlike you, kisses good with a tongue?
DOUG (spoken):
Oh please, don't stand in my way.
MICKEY: Ah-ooo...
DOUG (spoken):
I guess it really doesn't matter if...if I break your heart.
MICKEY: Ooo, yeah...
CHORUS (with DOUG speaking)
ALL:
How, oh...
MICKEY: Oh, how could I know?
ALL:
How could he know? (How could he know?)
How? I really didn't know!
CHORUS 2X (with DOUG speaking and MICKEY improvising)
DOUG: What? ::a little softer:: How old is she, anyway?
MICKEY: ::whispered:: Sister...
