I'm just now caught up on everything I was supposed to do this weekend (thank God). Not that Katonah wasn't worth it. I had so much fun (and right before we left for NY on Saturday, my NYE tickets came...only a month and a half!!!). It was so great to meet everyone (well, it probably wasn't everyone, because I only really met the "bush people/fruids") and I wish I had been a bit less shy, but I can't help it. Next time I might actually speak (I really will try, really, I just can't ever think of anything to say)... I keep saying "Stan, you work in a cawfee hawse..." (from the thing about the "arena snack bar") but only my dad and I think it's funny, everyone else just thinks we're nuts. Anyway, I know a bunch of people already did their reviews, so I'm just adding on here (esp. since this is my first show since I've been on the ng). Um...I was really excited because I got to see five songs I've never seen live before (River Valley, Stuck in the 90's, Marion Fruvous, Early Morning Rain, and Gulf War Song). Early Morning Rain was *wonderful*, and when I told my mom, she was mad because she loves Gordon Lightfoot. Unfortunately, she wasn't there because she had a graduate school mid-term, but her extra ticket helped someone else get in (it was sold out!) who seemed very grateful. I should mention that I didn't actually see Marion Fruvous, because I sort of left during IWHO. You see, as Lori already said, it was really hot in the auditorium, and I thought I was going to faint, so I sort of got up and went outside while Jian was introducing IWHO. And being as I was only in the second row, he kind of noticed, and wondered aloud where I was going ("Oh, they're playing a new song, we'd better go now. He's talking, he won't notice if I leave") Which was more amusing than embarassing, because I've never been talked to from on stage before. Anyway, i had to hang out in the lobby until I felt better, and only got to hear Marion thru the doors. I was very mad that that happened right before IWHO, because I adore that song, although it nearly reduces me to tears. It is just so much better to *see* Jian sing it. At least my abrupt departure (I made it back for KoS, and then back to my seat for GWS), gave me something to say to Jian, because I had to "redeem" myself, as one lady put it. Normally I can't talk to him and make sense, and I doubt I made much sense, but he REMEBERED me from when I had talked to him a few times before, and he remebered my dad, too, and that made me feel so special (thank you Jian for having such a good memory)! Anyway, I apologized, and he said it was okay, he was just "using me as a foil" or something to that effect. And i said hi to Dave, too, but I was too shy to say anything to Mur or Mike, because if I can't even talk to fellow ng persons, do you think I can talk to band memebers? I've gotta work on that. But before this gets too long (well, it already *is* too long), let me just say it was an absolutely wonderful night. Every time I go to a Fruvous show, I love them more (and that's saying a lot, considering how much I loved them before) Gulf War Song was BEAUTIFUL (my dad thought we were close enough that it was like they were in our living room), and I just wanted to sit there for a while and be silent for a bit after it was over. Trying to explain what it was like to people who have never heard the song before does not work. And now, I'm done, I guess (sorry it's so long!), but I'll probably think of something else I left out later. love Lizzie p.s. advice from various people on Saturday night has been taken, and my dad just handed me a newly purchased Vance Gilbert CD... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 00:53:30 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Renaming the Katie >consider this an exercise in the joy that is Früvosity....

I've avoided this thread long enough...so I'll confess: my first concert was definitely REO Speedwagon, followed closely by Rush. I also attended AC/DC, Billy Squier, and Aerosmith concerts in that same time frame. It's no wonder that I eventually gave up on the music all my friends liked and became a musical outcast...I really didn't enjoy ANY of these concerts despite the chemical enhancements available at the time. When I finally broke from the mainstream I got to see some great shows: Squeeze, for one, and Adam Ant (do NOT laugh...I've seen him twice, and would go again), and Jim Carroll, and David Johanssen, and Iggy Pop.
