If you want directions to the venue, go to www.kmts.com and follow through to venue information (I think it's under Seating or something) Whatever. Now, the show isn't listed, you're right.

You can find information about Moxy Fruvous' show on the 2nd of June at this site: http://www.showman.com/schedules/index.shtml (the "s" is no typo) Hope that helps.

See, here is where I chime in. Yes, it is perfectly acceptable for men to grow facial hair.... but many women don't like it, so we shave. This is a pressure from the opposite sex as clearly as leg-shaving is for women. There are women who aren't turned on by men with facial hair, and there are women who ARE turned on by men with facial hair. There are also men who aren't turned on by women with leg hair.... and there are men who ARE turned on by women with leg hair. Yes! It's true! There are many many men out there who like women to have hairy legs. (Incidentally, I'm not one of them... but I wouldn't turn down a date with someone just because they had hairy legs.... I mean, it's just an aesthetic thing.....) So, what it comes down to is this: People do what they do to make themselves beautiful for two reasons... A: to feel good about themselves B: so that others will find them attractive. Me? I shave my face, shower every day, keep my hair clean.... etc... for both of the above reasons. Is there pressure on me, by women, to do these things? Yes, of course there is! But that's okay..... it's not REALLY women who are pressuring me to do this.... it's ME who's putting the pressure on myself. The case is the same with all of you women out there. The pressure you feel isn't from men.... it's from you... women, just like men, put pressure upon themselves to look good for the opposite sex... (or same sex, depending on your preferrence) Shave your legs if you want to... some men will find that attractive. Don't shave your legs if you DON'T want to.... many other men will find that attractive too. And ditto for any other personal hygeine issues..... (ie: pits, etc...) I don't know... I just think it's pretty silly for a person to say, "I'm not going to shave my legs! The only reason women do that is because they're oppressed by men and FORCED to!!!" That's bullpucky.

Richard, now you're channeling some of my private email. I really am starting to think this entire newsgroup operates on an archetypal basis -- the common themes run rampant. But I quite agree. I can wear anything of my husband's that I like,includes his obviously masculine clothing such as suits, ties and boxer shorts, while he'd be considered quite silly looking and of dubious sexuality in practically anything from my closet, even something as innocuous as my purple cat socks from FrüCon . If people (men or women) are so >vapid as to judge by appearances then that's their own stupid fault and it is >themselves that are demeaned and they victimise themselves, not the person >they judge. It is, but it DOES hurt the person they judge. At very minimum, it makes that person think twice about wearing something they find comfortable or sensible; at worst we are talking hate crimes. >AJ should be free to shave whatever bits of himself he wants to. So long as >he >cleans the sink out afterwards. I rather LIKE A.J.'s facial hair. But point taken and agreed with. If a man prefers to shave or wax his legs or chest or back or whatever -- whether for dynamic reasons, as he's a swimmer, or merely for esthetic reasons, because he prefers smooth skin -- why is this considered unmasculine when it's perfectly all right to shave his face everyday? > >Lastly, a statement like `all men judge women by breast size' is not only >plainly untrue, its also very heterocentric. AMEN! I've been thinking that for as long as this thread's been going. Honestly, folks! Can't we get past the stereotypes? Not all men respond alike to stimuli. Nor all women . Can't we respect those differences instead of simultaneously a) ignoring them and making stereotypical comments about each of the sexes in their aggregate, and b) acting as if those who insist on their differences are weird, odd, perverse, strange, or otherwise deviate? In many ways I'm preaching to the converted on this ng, but this thread HAS brought out a lot of stereotypical thinking, and I'm glad Richard pointed it out as succinctly as he seems to think I've dealt with trendy angst vs real depressive disorder. We all wear blinders from time to time, and we do need to be reminded of that occasionally. >Not feminist, not masculinist, humanist, Me too. :) Rather, feminist only in reaction to the dominant paradigm -- which only serves to limit and stifle both sexes through strict behaviour and appearance codes. It shouldn't be surprising then that homophobia is their weapon of choice in this endeavor -- people who blur the lines most are obviously the prime targets. As an aside, in a separate post Eve mentioned that she liked the term humanist but not its atheistic implications. I object to that on 2 levels: 1) my impression is that it's more a non-specific, non-religious orientation of thought rather than antireligious 2) it is the religious right that has given the term its ungodly meaning, and if we who would like to consider ourselves humanists flinch from it because of their false definition, then we are co-opting ourselves and letting them win yet another cultural battle.

I tried to read Marquez's _One Hundred Years of Solitude_, and I really tried, but I only got to page...well, I can't remember, but not very far, before giving up. I know that's a horrible thing, to give up on a book. And I even work at a library, so I probably shouldn't give up on books, but anyway...maybe he has better books? Suggestions? And, well, I've actually been reading a lot of W.P. Kinsella, most recently _Brother Frank's Gospel Hour_ and I love all of his books about Frank Fencepost and Silas Ermineskin (if you can find the movie "Dance Me Outside", it's based on one of Kinsella's stories about them, and it's really good). And I know this doesn't count as a book, but a little bit ago, I was looking through my friend's women in literature anthology and found a Margaret Atwood story ("Rape Fantasies") and then proceeded to read it out loud to my friends who were sitting in the school hallway with me, for no particular reason, but it was quite good. Anyway, this is me rambling again, but I will perhaps try to read some more authors from the list. But not William S. Burroughs. No. Is that okay? (I guess that's a stupid question because I doubt anyone here is going to hold me down and make me read _Naked Lunch_ or anything.) I just really find him scary.

I'm 5'7" with a medium frame, 40" legs (which are a b*tch to find decent jeans for), and long skinny arms. I have an "athletic" set which I have no complaints about.

Short hir. those of you that have seen me, 3 years to grow my hair from 1/4" to what I have now. For one of my melodramas I wore a fall (hairpiece), and my friend James kept looking at me like I was a stranger and all of a sudden he decided he was attracted to me. I wore the fall a few times to a club and my friend Michael got way over-friendly, at the end of the night when I told him it was coming off, he protested... saying I looked so incredible with it. My thought was, "and without it I look?" Oh well, I could spend outrageous amounts of money for a weave (though I am considering braids just so I don't have to deal during the summer), but for what? When I start feeling self-conscious about my hair, that's when it dawns on me that I'm a black chic (*smirk*).

We saw 6 troopers on the way to Utica (in that drive normally I've seen maybe 2).
