I came home after a long day of building > hoovervilles and fell asleep! I missed it! waaa! Never fear! I missed it too, but thanks to our wonderful Jordan-boy, we can all download it from http://www.meat.net/~platypus/baseball.mp3. And now let me tell you my whiny sob story, and surprisingly enough, the word "Hoover" does not appear in it, though your mention of it is strangely apropos. Our carpet was FILTHY. We had not vacuumed in quite some time. The carpet is also relatively new, so in addition to the crud built up in it, it also had a hefty share of that new-carpet fuzz. The fuzz was in fact our reason for being unable to vacuum. It clogged up our brand-new vacuum cleaner so that the second time I used it, *flames* shot out the back and it emitted noxious fumes that irritated my throat for several days thereafter. I am not making this up. We took the cheapass machine to be fixed; it worked once and then started doing the same thing. So we had let our carpet sit and get filthy for a long, long time. Finally we could stand it no longer, so I broke down and asked my neighbor Lisa (commonly known to us as UNL - you figure it out) to lend me her vacuum cleaner. Now I must take a moment to describe UNL. She is visually impaired (not completely blind), originally from Buffalo, and the kind of pushy that tries to be "helpful" by starting off many conversations with "You should..." (especially when giving advice on things which she herself is unable to do, such as driving). She has the most extensive collection of merchandise and gadgets ordered from infomercials that I have ever seen. UNL comes over today at noon, smiling and complaining about having to carry her vacuum across the parking lot in the rain. As I had suspected, the machine in question is of the industrial humongo-suck variety, which she was induced to buy by an infomercial. She insists on being present while I use it...okay, that's only fair. She's graciously allowing me to use her vacuum cleaner, and I truly cannot stand this filthy carpet one more day. So I vacuum. In between looking in our closets (and remember, she's gotta look at stuff *really close* to see it), UNL periodically instructs me on the proper technique of vacuuming. When we get upstairs to my office, the final room, UNL decides to go home, get some lunch and watch her soap opera. Okay; I'll finish up and then bring the vacuum back over. No sooner does she leave than the main motor of the vacuum (it has two, one in the sweeper head and one in the canister body) simply *stops*. I call her and tell her this. She rushes back over. We call the 800 number on the vacuum. The person tells us it has an automatic shutoff that activates when it starts to overheat, and to wait half an hour and try it again. We wait half an hour. UNL recites a speech for me that recently won her second place in a competition, about getting more services for disabled students. It's pretty good. Half an hour passes. It's about 1:30 by now. We try the vacuum. Still no good. UNL decides that we must take it back to the shop where she bought it RIGHT NOW, because her boyfriend will flip out if he learns that she lent it to me and I broke it. I remind her that there's something on the radio at 2:50 that I really want to tape. But again, I'm pretty much at her mercy. I put on one of Tom's old black trenchcoats (secretly feeling a little enjoyment at having an excuse to wear it); she grabs the canister and I grab the sweeper part, and we head off to the bus stop (my car is still not operational, but that's another story). So we take the bus, and then walk two blocks in the ever-increasing rain, to the vacuum cleaner shop. We leave the vacuum there to be repaired and walk back toward the bus stop. We see our return bus go by before we can catch it. I decide we should just keep walking - it's too late to make it back in time to hear ATC now anyway, and I am in *no* mood to sit somewhere and make conversation. So we walk. In the rain. By the side of the road where there's no sidewalk and it's muddy. UNL complains. I feel like a heartless bastard for being so insensitive and not caring that I'm making a nearly-blind woman navigate her way around mud puddles, but I am pissed off right now. Finally another bus catches up to us, and we ride the rest of the way home. Going up the stairs to my apartment, I meet my downstairs neighbor who's just moving out. I ask him if he'd happen to have a vacuum cleaner...he responds that his has just now died, and they are trying to get it working again (Is it some kind of curse, or what?). I tell him of the two vacuums that have died in my hands and say that's it, Tom's right; we're getting a maid. I get in the door, and the phone rings. It's UNL, informing me that she somehow managed to injure several toes while removing her rain-soaked jeans. She thinks her toes may be broken. Thank goodness she did not try to ask me to accompany her to a doctor. I hang up with her, call Tom and rant to him a bit, and request that he bring home chocolate and alcohol. I wait until the second broadcast of the song is scheduled to be played, but get local news (The Jefferson County School Board had *just* come up with a plan for school disasters and emergencies, when *this* happened, and they weren't prepared...) instead. I load myself up with St. John's Wort and kava kava and curl up for a nap on the couch. UNL calls again. The shop has told her that the problem was caused by a faulty fuse, a manufacturer's defect which will be fixed free of charge. I am relieved. I go back to sleep for a while. Tom comes home with chocolate, Captain Morgan and videos. I download the mp3 that Jordan-boy has so thoughtfully put up on his site. It sounds great. Except for the eraser-dust-encrusted area around my drawing table, my carpet is clean. Life just might be okay again. k@ working on another CM&Coke now, and it's more than $6-good ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 03:13:14 -0400 From: Thomas Fazzio Subject: Re: **NPR - ATC**TODAY** hmmm, for some reason the Moxy Fruvous section is not, I repeat NOT, available.

Even if it *is* 3 hours away? After going to class during the day, I drove over to state (SUNY Potsdam) and picked up Amy [my eternal love and life mate]. Stopping at ticketbastered to pre purchase tickets (something I've only done for FrüCon), we began our trip out of town around 3:30 pm with CDs spinning to prep us. A quick stop in Watertown for McDonald's, then Amy gets excited about driving the van, so I let her drive the last hour to the mall (Carousel). Living in the North Country, the mall is an amazing building which must be worshiped and cherished. Then a short drive downtown and a search for quarters to get a parking pass, we ran into numerous happy people standing outside Styleen's - Norg, Dante, Chrissy. Before we stood in line, I caught a glimpse of Mike down an alley, told Amy, and she ran back and waved to him. We stood in line for about half an hour, just chatting about everything and nothing when the doors open and we get inside. We made our way to the front of the crowd, sitting on the staircase just 2 feet from Dave's mic stand; exactly where I was for my first Früvous concert ever. The opener, Sarah Harmer, was decidedly a folk singer and to the two of us, not all that impressive. Sorry everyone, just not my type. I'd rather see the good 'ole Syracuse hometown heroes Johny Vegas or Hamell on Trial. She played from about 9 to 9:45 pm. The usual FrüDelay and they hit the stage at 10:25 pm. A simple thanks and straight into... Down From Above Horseshoes - sitting there holding Amy and hearing this song brought a tear to my eye. Jian pauses for a second and asks the crowd, "Who knows the album Wood?" Cheers around the place and we get two more from the album... Fly - the feelings were amazing as we held each other as we never had before Present Tense Tureen - the one song Amy wanted to hear, I saw the setlist and told her, "I think you'll be happy" Johnny Saucep’n – after drawing in the crowd with those first four, the noise level was extreme when Jian pulled that little flute thing out. They really increased the pace tonight! Kick In The Ass – from absolutely no where Murray chimes in with the bass part and took the audience by surprise, but not to worry, we were very appreciative! A super extended segue including chatter about Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Jian makes the point that Buzz was going to be the man walking on the moon, but what kind of image is that, "American *Buzz* Aldrin"? Dave (in a wasted voice): "whoa - a stoner is on the moon, cool!" You Will Go To The Moon Splatter Splatter – my first time hearing this song I came to quickly like it. Very upbeat song with great lyrics You Can't Be Too Careful When She Talks - Jian described this as he just wanted to sit down and write a few simple words which just mean a lot. Thank you Jian, this sure is a great song. Only problem was the bass gave out before this tune, but they started it anyhow only to stop after just under a minute or so. A run to the dressing room, Tobey brought back another bass for Dave to play for this song. This time it sounded great! Pisco Bandito - Every successful band has to sing about fish, they begin saying. Mike sang two lines of Big Fish, then this fun little tune gets going. River Valley - simply my all time favorite tune to hear live! Get In The Car - while Amy and I decided we don't listen to this song on the album, I greatly enjoy seeing the excitement on the stage during this one A long-standing request by someone, Dave says this is a song they plain forgot, but will try to see what they can do... Bittersweet (Dave on bass, Murray on metal guitar) – WOW! An unrehearsed version, Murray began the chorus accapella then Dave came in with some bass in the background. Murray really impressed a silent crowd with this song. While we were all singing the song, the place was silent except for Murray's voice floating like a "country rain on a city street" through the room. Homeward Bound (Jian vocals, Mike on acoustic) – besides Jian forgetting one line and flipping off the crowd (it was really quite funny!), this was quite the sing along for many and Jian really got into the song himself King Of Spain - hilarious as ever! I was hoping for GE&H to follow, but no this time Darlington Darling - is this a great tune to dance to or what? Love Potion #9 Encore 1: Psycho Killer (was Michigan Militia on setlist but banjo quit) – For the second time tonight, the instrument Dave was going to play (the banjo this time) absolutely wouldn't play. Murray stepped in keeping the bass line going while Mike & Dave scrambled to get guitars for this quick change of songs Encore 2: I Will Hold On – with moving intro by Jian concerning Rodney’s health condition, he dedicated the song to Rodney. Amy's first time ever hearing this song, she knew this was the one song I have heard live a number of times, and each time I would stand completely still just listening. This time, for the first time, I held on tight to her as Jian let the lyrics out with a passion I now understand. My Poor Generation – a very interesting end to the evening, the whole crowd was expecting one more Amy and I hung out for a bit waiting to say hi to the guys and get her picture taken with each of the four. Jian came out but instead of standing in one place, the guy was wandering ALL around Styleen's talking to people, as he walked by us, he stopped and said hi and I snapped the picture for her. Thanked us for being right up front and enjoying the show, then he was off talking to someone else as he made his rounds. Dave was friendly as ever as we talked with him and got the picture. He distinctly remembers us from being right up front as during the show he asked us where all the shots came from - there we a good number of drinks for him at his mic stand. Murray was as cool as ever, Amy told me how he is just so Murray-like, whatever that means. =) So she got her picture with him and we said thanks. Unfortunately Mike didn't come out so we left Styleen's around 1:15 am. Ahhh, now for that 3 hour drive back to school for an 8 am class. I was extremely tired so Amy drove most of the way back while I gave her pointers on driving and life and everything; boy do *I* get weird at that hour. Pulling into her school at 4:15 am, we said our good-byes and I came back here only to sleep for what seemed like ever. Thanks again for a wonderful concert and another FrüTrip. We look forward to making more long drives to have such a great time, but short drives are nice too... later, tom.
