[chad schrock Subject: Part Two : The Show : Voodoo Blackout 99 This is part 2 of 3 that I am posting for Jordan. - ----------------- Part Two : The Show : Voodoo Blackout ‘99 THE PEOPLE: Tyler, proved to be a really groovy traveling partner. Kat, thanks for playing chauffeur! Doors, i think she should be titled leader of the LA posse "Little chad," woo, what a misnomer... i felt so short around you and tyler! Garit, cool to have another TMBG fan in the audience! and to all else that i didn't bother talking to (yeahyeah, there were a lot of ya!)... hope you had a blast :) OPENING BANDS: Blu Slushi. eh. P3: groovy band. Made me long for the days of "baby-moshing" actually. (i shouldn't say that, i'll bet frufans are as anti-moshing as giantsfans). I guess i would've been more into their set if i wasn't so anxious for the frulads. They were cool tho, very big on Canada :) THE DOLLS: "not dolls! action figures" This was seriously one of the best parts of the show. After Cal and Co. set up the stage Kat quickly placed each of the dolls (one resembling each of the four frulads) on the stage, with all leaning against the mic stands except lil-jian who was being a bit disobedient but Kat set him against the drum with no problems. Unfortunately the power went out right after they were all set up there and when the boys came on stage they didn't notice them immediately. Mike was probably first to see his doll and the look on his face just can't be described in words but he seemed pretty entertained with it (to say the least). to whomever asked if there were pictures... believe me... K@ got an amazing picture of 'em before the show but i don't want to ruin the surprise (*grin*). i tried to snap a few of the dolls onstage especially mike and the action figure fun) but one can only hope that any of those pics came out. we'll get back to the dolls later: WAIT, YOU MEAN IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC? Jian came on stage with a bit about how the americans turned the power out on the poor canadians, but they were getting paid anyways so "goodnight" with the cutest grin and a wave :) "but no matter what happens, your parking will be validated" Jian, went into the whole, if someone from Spin magazine is here... "we won't be sounding like the rock extravaganza that we are... they're like... 'oh fuck, it's acoustic' but we're not!" and shining his flashlight at murray (who didn't seem too pleased that he was doing so) "does this look like an acoustic face?" "we'll be playing songs that aren't on the set so that if the lights come on we'll be playing the set unimpaired" (liars... i'll get back to that tho). Moxy Unplugged at the Roxy: "these are the shit songs" * I Gotta Get a Message to You Right about now, they all noticed the dolls. laughter and giggles from our portion of the audience, confusion and questioning from the rest of the audience. Despite the requests from the crowd "jenny washington'" etc. we were treated to: * Early Morning Rain Murray is such a cutie! Dave playin geetar. the power came on in the middle of this to great amounts of cheering :) Main set: Murray noticed his doll, grinned, and they went into: * Sahara * Jockey Full of Bourbon "Good to see americans here, despite the energy shortage" (ouch) ---Talk show fun "So did anything weird happen on your tour?" Jian says, "well, like we were in LA... and we were like upstairs, and like um, we were like... you have to talk like this..." mike cuts him off and says "and certain military groups had taken a machete to the main power line and... " Dave comes in with "and there were like voodoo dolls on the stage" (loud cheers). Dave checked to see if his "voodoo doll" was anatomically correct, which, by the end of the night, all except for murray (and possibly mike?) did as well. * Horseshoes ---"we're not on tour right now... just doing a one off as we say in the business" dave then proceeded to make a joke about "one off" and murray cliamed that it was the puppet that said it. "all kinds of things are gonna happen tonight with the voodoo puppets" "new album in march" * Sad Girl ---trip to Ontario Canada, not California * Pisco Bandito ---"tonights theme: American presidents... Groger Cleveland" "ya know some people know him as 'Grover Cleveland'" "there was no 13th president, they just skipped it" ---Murray explained that the pitch pipe went through the laundry. Jian commented "the G is filled with lint" (grin). and dave asked "what speed was it on 'hot dry' or tumble dry'" and Murray claimed "Polyester" "oh so that would explain your shirt" "yes, it takes no prisoners" So they tune to the G String (grin, sorry, i had to do it). Murray then played his G (grin) and it sounded like geese. :) * You Will Go to the Moon Jian and Mike seemed to really be enjoying themselves here. I'd never seen them so energy-filled... i wanna know what they were drinking :) ---Someone in the audience offered Murray their pitch pipe "ya know, some bands fans offer them drugs. Other bands fans give us pitchpipes" ---Jian then went into the whole "ya know there are people that came to see us and then, ya know, they're more enthusiastic... don't pander... but uhm, then there's the other people that are totally unsure of whether or not they should like us" ---Impeachment trial. * Stuck in the 90's made my night :) ---Murray asks "is that really what i look like? shag for hair?" Mike then says "yeah well the dave one was lying face down over here for awhile and i'm trying to concentrate on the song and i'm thinking oh it's dave, it looks just like him, dave must be down in the lower stage level... i think he's dead" ---Jian picks his up and says "mine looks like cher" * Sleepy Drinker awesome new song... very groovy :) It just makes Mike look like my dad even more tho... creepy. * Boo Time "feelin a lil mal in southern cal" * I Will Hold On yay! :P ---Jian jokes about losing his concentration cuz of dave's doll stradling the mic stand. dave then said "he looks exactly like me" "he's got the same clothing on" (which he did). Mike grabs lil-mike and claims "It's me, i'm just farther away" holding the doll out. * Michigan Militia banjo feedback! ---Protesting the anit-food people with the slogan "EET" * Johnny Saucep'n hehee... jian played the wrong note at one point and grinned a lil...very cute :) ---"who's never seen moxy fruvous before? whoa, who's never even heard of moxy fruvous before?" one guy yells. jian says "thank you sir for your honesty, are you john glenn? an american of integrity" ---Mike then plays action figure... "you're aaaaall... mother fuckers!" very amusing... :) * King of Spain * Green Eggs & Ham * Love Potion #9 medley Encore: * Psycho Killer Jian was super funny during this... :) * The Drinking Song yeahyeah, so people were talking. i snagged Jian's setlist (as always), anyways it had "2 CAREFUL" listed after Jockey, "BOOTY" was after sleepy, and BJ was supposed to be played after green eggs and ham but no :( Okay so post-show fun. I got a picture with each of the boys... that was cool. Jian continues to impress me... but i've already spent several e-mails explaining why he "rocks my world" and i'm sure you kids are sick of hearing it *grin* But, as far as the whole, "jian scent" thread. Just face it... he smells good, he looks *extremely* good, we all know that he sounds great, (other two senses, i'm not gonna go into that *grin*), he's smart, funny, and just an all around super cool guy. what more can be said than he rocks my world? - -- chad at radix dot net cschrock at acm dot org ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 20:53:09 -0500 From: chad schrock Subject: Part Three :There's No Place Like Home This is part 3 of 3, that I am posting for Jordan.... - ------------------- Part Three :There's No Place Like Home Other possible title: Why It's Cool To Be A Chick Okay, so i had it figured out. You get in line early so you can grab a seat to yourself, set all your stuff on the seat next to you, lay down on it and pretend to be asleep (or at the least, don't make eye contact with anyone getting on the bus) and you won't have to sit next to anyone. Yes folks, for the entire 25 or so hour return trip, i had a seat to myself (as did tyler) and damn was i happy. Story #4: ARE YOU SMART? There's a guy sitting in front of me... From the back he looked just like coolio and i was a bit intimidated by his presence but thot i'd ignore him. Oh no. He turns around and hands me a piece of paper "Are you smart" written out very deliberately on it. At this point so much stuff was racing through my head. mostly, oh my god he's gonna hold me hostage "if you're smart you'll..." no, i told myself. Well, i answer with a "uh, i don't know" (pretty intelligent response huh?) *grin* anyways, he turns back around into his seat and begins to write out something that was taking all his concentration... about 4 minutes later he hands me a new piece of paper... with a logic problem on it. sigh of relief! He continued to keep me entertained with about 7 logic problems (tyler joined in and helped on the last couple), but we never figured out the final one: You've got a 3ft rope in your hand (we compensated with the strap of a backpack) with one end of the rope in each hand. you have to tie a knot in the rope without letting go of either end. i couldn't do it without just tying myself into my very own pair of handcuffs. erg! Story #5: GARY, COME ON DOWN! Gary, the guy sitting if the seat behind me had figured out that he could make some money while on greyhound. "Pepsi! Mountain Dew! Poker Games! Batteries! Cheese Crackers!" Gary found that selling this stuff could make him a pretty good sum of money for doing pretty much nothing but sitting on a bus. He was mostly proud because "once we get to denver i'm gonna get me some hot water and sell some hot chocolate... all i need is the hot water. I've got swiss miss regular swiss miss with marshmallows, regular carnation, and carnation with marshmallows... all i need is water" (he told us all this about 10 times along the way). Gary noticed that i was kinda tossing and turning and he taps me on the shoulder and hands me a pillow. aw :) Gary's goal in life, it turns out, is to be on the price is right (ya know, the game show). Anyways, he's already tried 7 times already but he's never been called to "come on down" so he told us he was gonna head back out to cali on the 18th to try again. Gary kept himself entertained the entire time singing the theme songs to various TV shows... he seemed to really enjoy the brady bunch and the jetsons cuz we got to hear those several times. He was also very pleased that it was elvis' birthday so he could tell his stories of seeing elvis. Not to mention his stories of seeing UFO's and Aliens as well. Story #6: TV STARS RIDE GREYHOUND? Anyways, on the bus hops a young man who sits next to Gary (we only know his name because he spoke in 3rd person a lot of the time). Gary says "hey, where do i know you from?" to which the guy just looks at him and a few minutes later Gary exclaims "I saw you on cops! you're a motherfucking TV star... here, give me your autograph!" Story #7: I KNOWS YOU'S HONGRY So there's this other really big guy that had gotten on the bus with us in LA that if i was to pass on the street i would be so intimidated i'd be looking another direction. Well, about 17 hours later, this time in St. George, UT when the bus stops at a McDonalds (Seriously, do you people pronounce it "MACK-donalds" or "MICK-donalds"?) Anyways, this big guy says "I Knows you's hongry cuz you ain't eatin' nuthin all day, you gots some money for food?" Tyler mentioned that the last time he had taken that strip of I-70 west out of denver had been for the Fruvous show in Carbondale back in october. Hehee... i take the last hour and a half bit of the trip almost every weekend to go snowboarding in Vail but damn, i have never been so pleased to get it over with and get home and take a shower :) - -- chad at radix dot net cschrock at acm dot org ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 21:17:46 -0500 From: "^kat^" Subject: Re: signing albums ^kat^ wrote in message <77gs6m$jef$1@news.erinet.com>... >a ... wow, alrighty, that was a little weird. here, let me try again: angie posted (& my news-server butchered, a bit): b= >ut on >the other hand I have this need/desire to have every Fr=FCvous-related it= >em I >own signed by them (I just bought Wood and b, nice virgin light-colored l= >iners >just waiting to be signed...

No reason to. The Spice Girls have good music certian situations, just as Früvous does. (i.e.: in a club or something.) As an aside, I rented "Spice World" and thought it was cute.
