Tom and I went to an SF con last weekend and dutifully brought along the boombox and all the Früvous CDs we own, to do some large-scale proselytizing. We had Live Noise and YWGTTM playing throughout Tom's birthday party in our hotel room, and all but one of our guests were suitably impressed. Finally our friend Dana, after quite a few drinks, piped up and said, "Y'know, this is probably gonna get me kicked out of this room, but I gotta say it -- I *hate* this music!" We let her stay, but we're not through with her yet....It was pretty noisy with all the people there, so it wasn't really possible to appreciate the music fully. And Dana is 40ish (not that age should be a barrier!) and, well, rather *odd* in her tastes in general. Even she, though, was quite taken with "You Will Go To The Moon," which she said had been one of her favorite books. She was trying to remember if she still owned a copy, or if her ex-husband had gotten it. k@ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 02:38:02 GMT From: McCown Subject: a quick question hi everyone! can i ask a quick question? i feel really stupid, but i feel really out of it to, and it's driving me nuts: what does ROTFL mean? i absolutely can't figure it out. everybody have a GREAT time this weekend!!! i can't wait to hear about it! love Lizzie ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 02:41:22 GMT From: Amy Schrader Subject: Moxy live on radio in Rochester NY WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *does the happy fruvous bounce all over the comp lab!!!* Thank you thank you thank you......^_^ Amy "It's not forbidden to be what you are.

They will just have to go through life without any Früjoy. We must pity these people. :) - -- chad@ radix.net ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #892 ********************************************
