I think we made enough noise that people heard us. We're not going to give up. If they do move on this, they'll have to notify us and reschedule that public meeting.

We don't root for them to lose. We're not bitter old men, like some people make us out to be, but we're proud of our accomplishment. You can't beat perfection -- you can only equal it. If the Colts do it, then we'll make room for another chair on the mountain.

People wanted change. They wanted a fresh look. They trusted us. They believed in us.

I think all of us were a bit surprised when gas went to $14 (per thousand cubic feet) yesterday, ... We knew, of course, from the applications to the AEUB a week ago, that it would be higher.

I don't really see where I fit into that group, but I'm very flattered. I think, though, all of us women, regardless of how different we are as artists, come from a similar place in terms of how we view our role as a female musician. All of us are pretty feisty. And I think that that's what people identify with. Because there seem to be so few women right now who are interested in having an opinion. Having something to say. Trying to do things a little differently. Refusing to take our clothes off to further our careers.

They had us whipping around.
