You look at the front page of the newspaper and see an article about Pinochet next to an article about several schoolchildren getting sick from drinking extra-spicy hot sauce on a dare, and you have to run immediately and get onto #moxyfruvous and tell everybody, 'cause no one else would understand why you're laughing. k@ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Oct 1998 11:04:52 -0700 From: katrin@dimensional.com (Katrin Luessenheide Salyers) Subject: What did you do instead of NoHo?

Really, we'll get over it. :p) No, she's lying. We won't. Not for another few months, at least, or whenever we get to see our next show. To keep my mind occupied during my absence from the festivities, a couple of other tragically-white chyx and I got together for our first attempt at a mehndi party. One of them claimed to have done this before. The other one informed me of even *more* of our net.friends being at NoHo than I'd known...(temporary lapse into pout mode!). The henna came out gloppier than expected, so traditional designs were out of the question. So was the budgie dog I'd wanted to have drawn on the back of my neck. I ended up with a rather amorphous design on the back of my left hand and arm, up to the elbow - since I was deemed "the one with the artistic talent", I spent most of the evening drawing gloppy amorphous designs on my friends' bodies (yes, Tom did have a field day watching this). It actually looks kind of cool, and it was definitely a learning experience. I just hope I don't run into any frowning traditionalists before it wears off. Tonight, to drown our sorrows, we'll be attending a party (sigh...). So, everyone else stuck far away from NoHo, how are you coping? k@ red-handed ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Oct 1998 18:36:02 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #906-907 Okay y'all, in the lunatic spirit of this manic-depressive weekend, I shall answer *all* of your posts in one swell foop. Then wait for the illustrious responses. This shall be a weekend of truly inspired idiocy. We'll make 'em ALL jealous (yeah, right. Wanna buy a bridge?) > From: "pam :) > Ha!

Okay, Lizzie and I will stop what you must perceive as gloating. Even though it doesn't much feel like it. Yay for the cheap-hippie route! I didn't have a costume until Andrea inspired me with the flamingo comment, but now that's mine: my fluorescent-pink fleece shirt (it's actually an Aristocats shirt from last Xmas -- thanks Maureen!) -- tucked verrrry loosely into a pair of white tights, with black anklets and black flats. Boning knife optional. As I have a short fuzzy mop of blonde hair, I think that pretty much does it. Maybe I can fashion some sort of beak from pink construction paper... Bridget chimed in with: > >> -anytime someone says "It's not too far," you automatically answer > >> "especially in the car." and get a weird look - cause you're always > >> walking. :) I need to find a video store that employs a Roger > At least there was no one else around to give us that 'weird > look'............ My very own husband regularly gives me that 'weird look' although this obsession really amuses him. (He didn't know me during my previous enthrallments with the Partridge Family, the Bee Gees and assorted Philadelphia Flyers....) He's a 'fan but not a 'head. Anyway last night I dropped the bombshell that I was going to Toronto in February, and tagging along was strictly optional for him, and his only question was "what weekend?" Which, since our anniversary is Feb 14 I thought was a reasonable concern. (Boy would THAT be a scheduling problem!!) Hey, Pam, catch the FruConII caravan! I think it's going through Indiana! > Do we listen to Moxy too much?!?!? NO SUCH THING!!!!!!! Truer words were never spoken. Hey...on one productive note, my assimilation tape managed to hook my previously anti-Fruvous kid. He liked Spidey, the Kid's Song (grownups taking orders from the young and the short) and Gulf War Song. I knew he had good taste...he was just cranky the night we saw them at King of Prussia because he was reallllllly tired, and decided they were too noisy and cursed too much. > From: krista-dawn > > Yeah! Hurray for the cheap route! I'm also doing the standard hippie > thing this weekend. It makes a lot of sense - after all, everyone on > this newsgoup is either a hippie or a geek, right ;-p? I'm more a hippie-dork. Don't know enough tech stuff to be a geek. (For example, last night most of my time was spent in an attempt at productivity -- getting on IRC -- but so far no luck. *Sigh*. And my presumably savvy husband the engineer is stumped too -- he doesn't play on the net enough to just know all this stuff. Is mIRC more accessible than vIRC, does anyone know? We downloaded vIRC but then couldn't get a connection to a server.) >I myself wrote: > Good night all.

The one thing that I was hoping for today was that by some miracle someone woulda posted "help! I have an extra ticket for 10/31!" Because lurking in my demented little mind is the thought that I really don't have to leave the house until 2 p.m. to get to NoHo... that'd be my absolute deadline...never mind that it'd be completely insane and I have noplace to stay (FruSpace!) and the Halloween candy-and-costume thing would be a disappointment for Andrew if I weren't here... it was just an idle thought. Really. But just the possibility was keeping my mood up...., >I got Great Big Sea (as per everyone's rec) they are loads o' fun. >and...THE KLEZMATICS: Jews With Horns. Why get that, you >say?
