Excited about the trip, we made a quick run into the Circle K next door for beverages, and then started carrying our bags and pillows into her apartment. We thanked our ride and said our goodbyes, and then proceeded to start packing the rental car that Mollie had parked out back. We were on the road at 7 AM, getting onto I-40 and leaving Nashville, focusing our minds on Washington DC. We made the trip in very good time. 10 hours or so after starting (which was more like 11 hours due to central vs eastern time zones) we were getting into line at the 9:30. Mollie had canape (sp?) to share, and we met several of you in line, so many names floating around that night. I would start mentioning them, but certainly I would leave one of you out, and I would probably mention at least two or three people twice simply because I don't connect their real names with the ng/IRC name. To those of you I met, I love you. You are the excitement, the freshness, the essence of Fruvousing. We got in with no problems. This was an amazement to me. We can't do that locally -- there is always something holding the line up. And for Washington DC I was expecting nazi's at the door. Jason didn't even have picture ID for this trip because of an accident with the laundry service only two days prior. We were pleasantly shocked, to say the least, that there were absolutely no problems with this throughout the weekend. We claimed spots roughly 2nd row, stage Mike. We talked with those surrounding us, and we watched the clock. I wondered why it's called the 9:30 club, or if the people who work there are simply inable of telling time. The wait seemed unending. Jess Klien took the stage, and my first response was "Joan Osborne influenced us all." I was cynical, but that's how Nashville is. Everyone you meet on the street is a replica of another singer who made it somehow. Every waitress is certain she'll have a record contract next year. You have to be careful of who you praise in this town. Jess' voice had me transfixed. My only negative comment is that she needs someone to help her write songs, and especially song titles. Don't take this the wrong way, because I would buy her music in a heartbeat. I simply believe she is in that phase which we all pass through at some point, where everything is so profound, and nothing is right. I often attribute the fact that most singers today only get 1 or 2 albums out to that... they pass out of that phase and no longer have much to write about. Fruvous finally came on. Jian, Murray, Mike, and Dave. I think in that order. I think I was in a trance, I didn't move until halfway through the show. I filled two rolls of film before we had left. Not an excessive amount, because I was secretly holding out to do more at Philly. Each time a lad went a capella, they stood close enough to the edge that I felt I could reach out and grope someone. Murray got imported Canadian smarties, and they did more old tunes than I had expected to hear. They did GE&H and it wasn't the end of the show, only to be followed by the Love Potion medley. That alone was shocking to me, fruvouless for nearly three years. The set ended. Lou greeted us for encore #2, and there were rather loud requests for Freebird. "You don't know skynyrd like *I* know skynyrd" was Lou's response, and they followed up with the drinking song. Jason nudged into the front row immediately after the drinking song to get me Dave's set list, but was stopped by an asshole stagehand who picked up the two remaining setlists and looked for pretty young 16-year-old types gullible enough to give sexual favors for them. We waited for the lads, and talked to Jian first. Then Dave, and Murray. We eventually sighed a heavy sigh and collected our group to go out for food and eventually back to Matt's place. BTW, Matt, Jason's blue camoflauge hat is probably still on your rocking chair.... :) We initiated some fruspace on Matt's living room floor, and were the three most snoringest people that Rob had ever heard. The trip had worn us out -- none of us lasted long after lying down. We awoke around 3ish on Saturday afternoon. Around 4, we were ready to go out for lunch and head up to Philly. When we arrived in Philly, the line was about half a block long, but spread into three parts due to a restaurant entrance and a parking area entrance. The Trocadero was relatively easy to find, but we really didn't have long to wait in line and meet people. I was expecting to have a photo waiting with my tickets, as we were there specifically for this concert, and I'd sent an 8x10 off for the lads to sign and somehow return to Mollie, the birthday girl. The bouncers questioned our intent on bringing in 18 bottles of bubbles and a bubble gun, and looked severe with their warning "Just don't spill it, that stuff can be slippery!" We got in and the Butch Roth (sp?) band had already started, so we started working towards the stage in search of people to distribute bubbles to. We eventually settled into an area about 7th row, stage Murray. Fruvous took the stage simultaneously. There was a very, very long anti-Starbucks/Think globally act locally/Glocally improv almost immediatly. We are hippies and geeks! About halfway through the set Jian announced "We normally don't do anything for occasions like this, because it's a little like chuck e cheeses... suddenly everyone is having a birthday... but we do have two very special birthdays tonight, two women, both turning thirty." They announced names and sang, which is more than I had truly expected them to do for Mollie's day. We blew bubbles and seemed to have a decent response out of those we had passed out beforehand. Jian did say to see Mike after the show for their gifts, and Mike made a comment about becoming an artist and having a few very special papier-mache works in progress which would be ready in about three years and cost roughly $89. The set continued and eventually led to the love potion medley as an encore, for which I was particularly excited. I had missed it so. The drinking song once again ended a wonderful night of Fruvous. The Trocadero in and of itself is a wonderful venue. There is just so much character in this building.... it is perfect, in every way. Of course such a thing always means there is one major problem, and in this case, it was the staff. I'm sure the bulk of the staff is a really great group of people, but unfortunately, they have two or three complete assholes for bouncers. These men were almost violent in forcing us out of the building and onto the sidewalk, and then continued to force us off the property. There was a large collection of people on the sidewalk who were waiting for rides, etc, and they were constantly encouraged to wait elsewhere, and those who were merely waiting for the band were practically shoved off the property. Eventually, Jian came and allowed a small number into the area between sets of doors where he spoke with them. Mollie and I snuck into this group and the roughest of the bouncers was called inside by what I assumed to be a manager. I heard him told a few times that the band was willing to meet fans and he would have to be nicer to us outside because we were the reason he got paid. I was inside for quite some time after this, but when I returned outside it seemed he'd been accommodating after this talk. We talked to Jian and got pictures, celebrating Mollie's official birthday. Murray was next out, and he was simply wonderful to talk to, even for just the brief moments we had. Dave arrived and I felt we were somehow intruding on his conversation with others he knew, so we once again made it brief. Mollie eventually went and joined the crowd on the sidewalk, as the lads were slowly making their way out there after taping some promo work for a radio station and collecting themselves a bit. Mike did eventually show up, and was *very* nice to talk to. We even got confirmation x2 that Fruvous *should* be down to Nashville this coming summer. I eventually got to ask Mike about the photo -- I knew they'd gotten my letter by their announcement of Mollie's birthday, but I was curious about what had happened with the photo that had been sent. He had not seen it, but apparently Jian had. Mike retrieved it from backstage, signed it quickly, and got Murray to sign it as well. I then thanked them profusely and headed out front to find Dave and get the final autograph. This accomplished, Mollie was finally presented with her birthday gift, and we were finally off. We were a group of 7 - -- the Matt's Place fruheads plus Anna and Kevin -- as we headed to South St. Diner. Not the official place to get a philly cheese steak from what we've heard, but it sufficed at that hour, and we had plenty of stimulating conversation to go with. We eventually arrived back at Matt's place, and sat for only moments while making a decision about departing. Rob had left from the diner, and we were contemplating our own 10 hour drive. We left there around 5:30 AM central time, and stopped fairly little. The most entertaining part of the drive home was what appeared to be a safari helmet, which was in the center of my lane (and I thought it was some sort of flimsy plastic which would pass under the car without problem, so drove over it without trying to veer in any way) It got all of our attention as we heard the "pop" of it catching on something, and the awful scraping of it along the road as we pushed it. Pulling off onto the shoulder, we drove in reverse until Jason could pick it up (smoking!) and throw it into the brush alongside the road. This was the only excitement of our trip, although we did also notice that Virginia is the state of the dead cars -- we saw at least one vehicle alongside the road every ten miles (and when you're traveling on I-81 that is a LOT of miles). And now, I'm back to mundane life. See you all this summer -- we need the living room floor initiated as FruSpace!
