Depends on what you consider cheap. I stayed in a $59 hotel room in Colchester last night, but that was on business. Burlington is about 90 miles from Montreal, but between heavy traffic leaving Montreal and the obligatory border backups, it would probably take 2 hours-plus. >If you have the time/money, I recommend hanging around Burlington for >awhile.

UGHH!! although i s'pose i couldn'tve gone anyway, since i had this senatorial forum between mary boyle (dem.) & george voinovich (rep.) to attend (for political service hours for AP amer gov't)... any ohioans out htere, look for it -- you'll get a kick out of their squabbling between one another after the question about campaign finances. ;p and if htere's anyone from toledo out there, look for a quote from me in the paper (toledo pledge?). some reporter caught me afterward & asked my opinion. *shrug* anyway, i want a full review of the ludlow's show so i can become even more excited for sat. nite. :) i'm in acute fru-concert withdrawal right now... ^kat^ "i get up and eat, i go back to sleep and all of my nightmares repeat" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 00:55:43 -0400 From: "^kat^" Subject: Re: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio (was Jordans) >Hmm, come to think of it, it's Ohio and Indiana that are *really* hard >to tell apart.

She damn near had the child in the middle of the crowd. Fortunately we got her calmed down and she was ok, but I had to SIT for a concert (a first except for The Ark) in a place I never go...the BACK! We positioned ourselves about one row back before the beginning of the concert. Things were a little crowded and stuffy...and she started to get light-headed and was having some major pains in her stomach. So we worm our way out for her to get some ice water and some fresh air. I walk her to the bathroom, wait for her long enough to see the guys come out from the back right next to me and see some VERY drunk lady (maybe 40 or so) take Dave's picture. We come back and try to work our way back to where we were standing next to Cee and some other friends of mine. Then this girl...major pain...looks right at me from the side and says, "A**hole!" in a very complaintive and annoying voice. I explain to her that we had been standing there and just left for a second so my pregna! ! nt wife could get a drink and us e the facilities. "I've been standing here for 40 f***ing minutes!" "Yeah, well...that's nice. I was probably down here on the floor before you even got here." It was really stupid and basically had us both pretty upset. If you're out there reading this, little girl, I apologize if you thought we were trying to squirm to the front without having waited for the privilege to be there, but we WERE there and you could have been a little more mature about it. I'm sorry, but it you were there for 40 minutes you would have SEEN us there:) Anyway, the concert was refreshing...I haven't seen the guys since Frucon. EFO was FABULOUS! This is the first time I'd ever heard them. I also enjoyed the guys...I haven't heard many of the new songs yet. They were a little off....I think the incident with the disco ball (sure to be reviewed by Chris or Josh) kinda threw them off for the rest of the night, but it was still great to hear them again. My wife says that our baby likes to dance around in there to the songs:) Anyway, I'm making less and less sense...need more sleep. Friday or not, coming to work today was a bad idea:) Later, Phil ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #811 ********************************************
