For those who've never seen it: E.N.G stands for 'Electronic News Gathering'... its an old Canadian TV show about the news department at a tv station. The first scene he was in, he only had one quick line so I wasn't completely sure it was him (me: "WAS THAT DAVE?!"), but he had more lines later on and it was him (me: "IT IS DAVE!"). Here's my best summary of the plot from what I can remember: Dave played ‘Dale' (I'm 99% sure that was his name), a stage hand type person for a music video that a cameraman from the Channel 10 news station was directing. Then a dancer from the video dies from an overdose. But one of the reporters over at Channel 10 doesn't believe that she would just overdose all by herself because she seemed so eager to make it and not just throw it all away by OD'ing. The reporter then wants to know exactly what happened. ‘Dale' helps the Channel 10 investigation by telling them that the manager of the singer making the video was paying the dancers with drugs. The cameraman/video-director-guy then finds out that the singer making the video had given the dancer the drugs and when she couldn't handle them, took her back to her apartment, where she died, rather than to a hospital. Dave was in 3 scenes (that I remember, if I missed anything it must've been short): the first scene with the one line (he hands someone a drink or something), then he's interviewed by someone from Channel 10, and then the scene where he tells video- director-guy about the drugs. Anyway, just thought I'd tell everybody about it :) Jeff (Gobo on IRC) gobo@fc.another.org dallien@cs.concordia.ca ------------------------------ Date: 20 Mar 1999 19:06:51 GMT From: jsmooth69@aol.com (JSmooth69) Subject: Re: Great Big Sea <> I'll be there!!

Hey all you Fruous lover's!!! I need your help in a big big way. As many of you know I'm doing a power point presentation on Moxy Fruvous. I think I'm going to put captions under all the Picture of who it is and what song it was during. However, I don't have any kind of list of the songs from the Sat. night show during the Frucon. So what I need, and I kind of need it soon(like Sun. or Mon. morning at the latest), is a list of all the songs that they sang at the Sat. night show. I then am going to try my hardest to match the picture with the correct song. So for the new songs that will be on the new album if you could include any instruments that are used and by who I would greatly appriciate it. I hope that someone can help me.

Yup, that'd be the one; I'm going too. :) You know, it's so *odd* that I have lived all my life 20 minutes away from the IH, yet it took MF to entice me to go there. And now I'm going there to see all kinds of other bands that I'd never have been interested in before hearing Fruvous.
