Quite possible. Were you a member of the ‘Under the Surface’ (UTS) fanclub back then?

I pass the lights on 42nd Street
And moving down towards the Spine
I see a world that’s more than incomplete
And a thousand different ways to lose your mind
And the devastated look it leaves behind

an article in The New Yorker about Bettie Serveert and Juliana Hatfield playing at the Central Park SummerStage in NYC on 23 July 1994
My scrapbook clippings from The New Yorker: on 23 July ’94 Bettie Serveert & Juliana Hatfield played at the Central Park SummerStage @ NYC in front of 2000 people in the pouring rain. To those who were there despite the foul weather, you were awesome!

'Tell Me, Sad' - the first draft from 17 Oct '93 that I wrote on the Phoenix Hotel stationery + the official lyrics
Just heard that the Phoenix hotel in San Fran will be closing. Like many bands, the Betties stayed there as well, having a great time. This is the 1st draft of our song ‘Tell Me, Sad’ that I wrote on their hotel stationery back in October ’93

Flashback to 20 June ’92, when Matador Records invited us to play at their CMJ showcase @ the Knitting Factory in NYC. It was our first time in the USA and that show changed our lives forever!

Throwback Thursday: in '14 we got a request from a 10 year old Bettie Serveert fan asking us if we could teach him how to play 3 of our songs. So that’s what Peter & I did and we added some anecdotes as well. High guitar nerd alert 🎸🤪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xssc...
