That was me! :+) In fact, I already knew the answer to the question, and just wanted to say hi to J&J and get Moxy's name on national radio. I just saw TMBG at San Diego's Street Scene festival. It was a good show! Unfortunately, it was only a 55-minute set, and I missed the first 10 minutes. :+( The crowd seemed to be about 1/3 serious fans. The next (and last) band to hit that stage was Save Ferris. They rocked! Or swang, if you prefer.

Hey all, I figured I'd take this opportunity to put in my $.02 about "Grunge of Spain." It seems to be getting dissed lately and I'd just like to say that although I didn't like it when I first heard it, it grew on me. I now *like* that version, and I particularly get a kick out of the background vocals during the "Under my own volition..." lines. Dave sounds like he's singing over a bunch of seals (awk, awk). :) I'd love to hear "Gord's Gold" too :) - -- Trace gemini@p3.net "They're like Robin Williams singing, times 4." -Anonymous comment about Fruvous overheard in the 8th & Market subway station in Philadelphia following the 1998 Singer/Songwriter Festival. ~~I am Fruhead.

I usually park illegally at the Damon's across the street. The bar is pretty small, but hasn't been getting too large a crowd. I'm hoping this time maybe enough to have people actually stand, but last time we just all sat at tables and enjoyed the show until Sandy From Ohio talked us into standing for the encore (and Josh and I felt really stupid standing about 1 foot from the band while they sang Fly at us, but anyways). My suggestion would be get there early and get a front table. Then sight lines are wonderful. Last time, we had this straight line at the of the 15ft moat which is minimal distance allowed by law for you to be from the Canadians. Sightlines are really good for most of the seating. There's Botany Bay off to one side where the regulars for the bar sit and drink. Mostly, it is a nice small venue which is a great change from some of the other shows. - Chad (who is happy Indiana has joined the ranks of states with two Fruvousable venues now!) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 03:54:31 GMT From: "Aye, who's asking whom?" Subject: Re: poutine (was: Re: Errors) Okay, I have to tell my poutine story, and I hope that, while the closest it gets to Fruvous is that it happened the same day I bought my copy of Wood and it happened in Canada, it won't be gauche to post this. The first time I heard of poutine was when the Street Cents gang went to Montreal and ate some, noting they were pure cholesterol and thus bad for all Canadian cardiovascular systems. All I could think was "one day, dear gall bladder, that will be ours to try". Cut to St. Patrick's Day this year. I was escaping a visit to New York City (I have my reasons, most of which can be summed up by the gaudy new Disney Square slapped on top of a once-interesting metropolis) by taking the train to Montreal. I bought a tour book while in a megastore to remain nameless and watched from a sealed train as the climate changed. Note: when I entered the subway in Jamaica Queens, it was 55F, or 13 celsius. Once I got past Schenectady, the snow chunks began to re-appear; by Lake Champlain, it was obvious the world had stopped around Christmas and the ice storm was still a going concern. When i got off the train and walked onto Levesque-nee-Dorchester Blvd, it was minus one celsius and about a mile walk to the hotel. All I could think about was heat. So I dropped my stuff, caught the subway to St. Denis Street and found Wood for 7 cdn used (got the reference in!). Then I remember what day it was as I walked past Bishop St and found out there really were Irish people in Frenchest Canada. I started drinking these 20 oz. pints of whatever people were handing me and soon enough... ...it was 2:30 and my new friend from uptown and I were pulling together enough French to get cash from a "service automatique". We were freezing, or so we figured we had to be as our tactile sensation were a tad off. So we stumbled into a Burger King and he told me "order that!" By this point my English was lousy as well, so the fry guy (who in America would have tosed me to the curb) discerned my order and, lo and behold, a bowl of poutine stared at me from the tray. I know this wasn't a hardcore, *real* bowl of cheese curds and gravy on fries, and later that week I ate at Schwartz's Deli and had the ideal "smoked lean with mustard" and all the rest. However, as introductions to foods and introductions to cities go, this rocked. The cold along the Saint Laurence River was like a test: get past it, and the warm hearts and meals of the city welcome you. I will never forget that bowl of poutine, mass-produced though it was. I will never forget stumbling towards that place seeking refuge nor stumbling away and winding up in the greatest pub I've ever been in (the Old Dublin on University Ave). Poutine is a sacred act among the Quebecois, and perhaps I learned a little about that as the molten curds warmed my tongue and I learned how to avoid bilingual panhandlers.
