"What does Moxy Fruvous sound like? "They sound like the Roches meet XTC at a party thrown by Camper Van Beethoven for Robyn Hitchcock's marriage to Cole Porter with They Might Be Giants as wedding band and Tom Lehrer acting as minister, but just as everyone starts singing old Queen songs the party is crashed by the entire cast of the Muppet Show. Moxy Fruvous is that good." - -The Octopus (Champaign, IL), September 1996 That became the standard description for a while *g* Fiona - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1998 23:13:34 GMT From: drea1@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: I will hold on > Oh my Lord, is that ever beatiful!

Subject: Re: Hey hey, ho ho, to NoHo I'm sure to go Am I the only one taking the train? Amtrak gives this ridiculous discount to get peopleto ride their lesser routes, and the run from Albany to Springfield qualifies. You'll need to get a ride from the station to Noho or take the Peter Pan bus ($4.50), but it may be worth checking out. Go to amtrak dot com (I don't want to be accused to directly advertising a connection to a web site, so you'll have to type it yourself) and check out the rates.

Subject: Re: Where is Clinton? Sorry to be a prod or a pratt, but... >Clinton is both a town and a township (the town located inside the >township) in the general vicinity of Utica, NY, almost close enough to >be called of suburb of Utica if only Utica were a little bigger and >less boring :-) 1) The town of Clinton and the village of Clinton are over 100 miles from each other (there's a town of Clinton somewhere on the Hudson). The village of Clinton is in the town of Kirkland, south of Westmoreland (NOT W. Moreland, but like the general from Vietnam). 2) Clinton is a suburb of Utica, although I think the technical term is exburb (a town once its own entity but now close enough to a city that it is assumed into an orbital position). While Clinton is definitely distinct from Utica (the median income is higher, the houses are older, the residents resent Uticans moving out from my Utica neighborhood to the village), it's only five minutes from the Village Green to the main mall within forty miles (Sangertown Square). 3) Utica isn't boring! We have a manic-depressive mayor with delusions of being human, an art gallery designed by the greatest American architect alive, Philip Johnson (he also designed the AT&T Building in Manhattan, which looks like a tombstone with a scroll-hole on the top, and the Lipstick Building), and we have some of the finest almond paste cookies in the world (at the Florentine on Bleecker, which we misspell). Oh, and the enitre city has this delusion that economic recoveries happen magically... okay, Utica died in 1960 and no one has gotten an idea how to revive it. Please give me a job! I have a bachelor's degree from a major university! I'll move anywhere! I'll cook! I'll clean! Come back! (I straighten my tie, wipe off the tears, and continue) >To get there from DC, I would take I-95 to the NJTP to the Garden >State Parkway to I-87 north, aka the New York Thruway. Follow the >Thruway all the way to Albany and continue on I-90 west (still the New >York Thruway) to Utica. At the Utica exit, follow signs for 5/8/12 >south & west, which should take you to "the arterial". Take the I wouldn't want to stick anyone on the Arterial just because it has no logic to it. We named an expressway with an adjective, not a noun (artery, a la Boston), we put stops lights on it to please a meat market that moved across town after it was built, and it's easier to get off at the exit past Utica (exit 32, Westmoreland) and go south until you see a sign for Hamilton College. While I enjoy driving the Arterial and it's an easy navigation, it subjects visitors to a boring part of Utica and a part filled with bad drivers (people from the country scared to drive over 50 on a four-laner, and such. However, it's thrity-five cents less when you take exit 31 (Utica)... >arterial past Utica until it stops being a divided highway, and you >get to a really weird intersection, like the kind you find in Boston :) Route 5 splits to the mall, 12 goes south to Binghamton, and 12B heads to Clinton. It's only twisted because a local insurance firm and country club purposely bought land in the intersection right-of-way. I am assuming the Boston bit would be where route 2 hits Alewife Station and half a ghetto pops up from nowhere. >Stay in the left lane on the arterial, and when you reach the weird >intersection get on route 12B, which will take you right into Clinton >town center, a small park with storefront-lined roads on either side. >Clinton's not a one-light town, but it is pretty small. Smaller than >Northampton. Almost everything of interest is right around the town >center. The exception is Hamilton College, which is further up the street and up a steep hill. >FDC sez: >> KAC is right in the center of village of Clinton, about 9 miles >> southwest of Utica on Route 12B. The section of Route 12B which passes >> on the east side of the village green is called East Park Row and the >> venue is between nos. 9 and 10 on East Park Row. Look for the church >> that has a tall steeple. I can't disagree there. If the church isn't obvious, look for the car dealership. - --no really, gimme a job! Four years in radio!

Subject: Re: that new york winter weather..... One last note: you're from Colorado! It snows there... a lot! They take the snow and give it to surfer boys in Los Angeles, you have so much of it! The kids on South Park always wear parkas! (I'm on a roll, gimme a break.) The Broncos play in the snow and thus defeat weak southerners with no skill discerning snow from cocaine! If you know how to drive in Colorado, just remeber that chains aren't legal on the highways in New York and our potholes get stories instead of repairs, and you'll be fine! Also, it's early December, which is not often a rough season. Oh, and Clinton is not in the Lake Effect region. "No two snowflakes are alike. Collect the series."
