Of *course* I'll be there, along with several Fruvirgin coworkers, a couple of massage clients I babbled at, various people from online mailings lists. . . The Paradise is about 15 minutes' walk from me; there's are only a couple of Irish pubs and Harper's Ferry that are closer, in terms of marvelous musical proximity to me, short of Fruvous playing in my backyard. Have I ever mentioned I adore being in Boston? :) I talked just as much about Fruvous in Florida, but I couldn't drag anyone to shows from there! ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 14:20:47 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: Fruv-o-lantern Chad Schrock asked: > What is a rutabaga? A really hard, globe-shaped root vegetable with a dull pale-eggplant-colored skin and beeswax-white flesh. Also known as a swede -- I guess Swedes subsisted on them all winter long in olden times. Nigh impossible to carve - -- it just wound up with an expression of surprise :o. Not much good eatin' either. I got this idea out of some Martha-Stewartesque craftsy column in the Ottawa Citizen, and I was *real* bored that day, so off me goes to Loblaws to find odd vegetables.... I also carved a large turnip -- that worked much better -- and 3 or 4 jacks. Also made a bonhomme for the front porch -- he was quite attractive, I must say. Worked out so well that I dressed up as him the following year :D. > FrüReference: Johnny Saucep'n??? Strange food, yes, but imho not so wonderful.

Well, I was so flabbergasted by it, rather than post another "oh my god it rocks!" after everyone else had said it for me, I went out and copied it. (Imitation, sincerest form of flattery, all that.) As I don't have the talent you evinced, I made mine simpler--just carved "Moxy Fruvous" in the font from the Bargainville album. If it survives, I'll bring it to the IH shows.

Y'all will have to tell us nonattending souls *everything*. Hugo, you realize your project has just become priceless (not that it's for sale or anything, but it's now, by band decree, a one-of-a-kind wonder.) If it's not *banned* from distribution by the principals involved, that is. You know, I love my family, and I want to spend Halloween with an excited child.

I mean, it's great that something special is planned, but I can't tell you how disappointed I am to have been privy to information that was so clearly not intended for my eyes. I have to believe that the info wasn't passed on with any malicious intent to ruin someone's evening, but it could certainly have that effect. My night will be diminished by illicit anticipation, I'm sorry to say. > Keep Rachel, whoever she may be, far far far from this ng! At the very least, do this! And more importantly, don't tell anyone else either. And stop forwarding the offending email on! I feel like we (the ng) have inadvertently walked in on someone in the bathroom. Let's just say "excuse me" and shut the door, shall we? No need to talk about it amongst ourselves or tell the world what we've seen. Discretion, they say, is the better part of valor.
