Well, I finally decided to speak..I don't do that much but here goes... Ok, as for Jian being gay, I agree with whoever said it really isn't our business and that we can hold our own opinions. Just to put my 2 cents in, you have to take into consideration that these four men are very comical and do improv on stage; they joke around alot. Now, I have friends who are straight (the 2 I am thinking of have girlfriends as a matter of fact) and they act gay all the time. You figure that just because a person may act a certain way doesn't automatically make them that way. Just because someone acts gay it doesn't mean they are gay. My friends are like that...they will go on for hours going back and forth saying things like, "I'm going to ride you like a stallion..." in streotypical gay voice and joke around like they are gay lovers. My friends are very odd....but anyways, even though Jian isn't as extreme as my friends, and he subtly makes gay and/or bisexual references, it doesn't necessarily mean he is gay or bisexual. Who knows? none of us do...he could be joking, or he could be serious. I do agree...I think he wants to be ambiguous. And next...as for Jian being surly....oh dear! This is definatly not the impression I received from ANY of the band members! I have never known a band so personable and friendly to their fans. I also have never been to a concert where the band interacts with the fans off and on stage so much. Jian seemed like a royal sweetheart to me, I offered him a Charms blowpop at Layfette Square in Buffalo and at Media Play in Niagara Falls (just because I'm strange like that) and he not only took them, but also thanked me and kissed my hand for it! That just made my week... I know I don't explain things very well, but I hope you can understand what I mean. Oh, by the way, if any of you guys are driving to Toronto for the 7-9 and are around Buffalo, or are driving thru Buffalo, could you e-mail me please? Thank you kindly :) Sheepy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Aug 1998 15:51:03 GMT From: "Hartfield Adam (Lud)" Subject: RE: Hi Fellow Fruheads! > Yes, it's even better when his doing it whilst rubbing your head. ;) I have a vague memory of telling Eddie Vedder Guy @ SONO about a.m.m-f and #moxyfruvous.

I sent it by replying to a digest from the gateway, should that have any effect? I'm sorry that it is a little out of date now, but I wanted to send it because, well, I spent a lot of time typing it. : ) If it did make it, and I, and the other person who told me they didn't see it were wrong, than I apologize for the repost. - --------------- wow, CeeCee wrote such a great review, I almost feel like I was there. Oh, wait a second, I was there, but CeeCee's review filled me in on some stuff that I didn't quite catch. : ) We started off at the side of the stage, but it was too loud there for my kids, and since we couldn't see from further out in front of the stage, we ended up behind the stage, on the balcony! Actually, it was a much better view than it sounds like. ; ) The delay in the start of the show did my daughter in a bit, She was so excited through the whole soundcheck, that she ran out of steam towards the end of the set and we had to leave to get some food about half way through Love Potion #9. The show was a lot of fun. It was interesting to watch from behind because you could really see the method to the madness that makes the shows so great. We could see how Jian would chat away while the other guys changed instruments, and mics, and how the others signaled to Jian that they were ready and how the segueys (sp.) took place. So while we lost something in not seeing their faces, it was still a cool spot. Anyway, as far as the show went, I think CeeCee covered it. Lots of energy, great improvs, and generally lots of fun. Minnie was the highlight for me, my daughter loved seeing Jockey, her current favorite Fruvous song, and my wife loved Balcony man, which was one of my favorite improvs that I've seen yet. The night reinforced one of the reasons I love seeing these guys so much. CeeCee mentioned Jian watching himself because he was aware that we were there. I don't know that it had to do with us presonally, there were other kids too, but the guys were aware of us. When they saw my daughter during the show, they all clearly remembered her from May and waved and made faces at her. Mike saw us when he was on the balcony and waved and made faces while he snuck around before Spidy, and Dave and my daughter were practicly having a whole conversation through hand signals while he was hiding before King of Spain. He signaled that they would be at the record store after the show and we should stop by. We had planned to say hi after eating dinner, but about half way through dinner I saw CeeCee (sorry we missed you) leaving from across the way, and got nervous that they were done and about to leave. So we rushed over only to find a huge line of people still waiting to see them. So instead of waiting and talking to them, I figured we would just wave from the side and head back to dinner. Well, when they saw her, they all stopped and said how great it was to see her and really just made her feel very special. Jian even remembered her name, almost correctly, which is impressive considering all the people they meet. So, this isn't really a review, but I just wanted to share in my good feelings from seeing the guys again. BTW, my daughter just turned three and my son six months, and this was her fourth Fruvous show and his second. So, that's pretty good I think. I think we need a Junior-Frumiles card for little kids, where it is the number of concerts you see, of any type, by the time you turn five. I think my kids would be well on their way to gathering some good loot by now. : ). - - Harry p.s. was the person who got the soundboard recordign on this list? We heard Cal talkingabout it before the show. If so, I'd love to hear from you and maybe get a copy. thanks. - -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum ------------------------------ Date: 5 Aug 1998 16:34:49 GMT From: dalevy@aol.com (DALevy) Subject: Re: Q: Toronto Yes, passport is not required.
