But I also find it uncomfortable to be in a whole group of people who are significantly shorter than I. First, I can't ever make eye contact with people, which sucks. Second, I stick our like a sore thumb. Third, and I know this sounds odd, but I actually find it difficult to hear a lot of times when people are speaking to one another at my chest level.

There are times when I really *hate* being tall. And not just when shopping for clothes, either. That's when it happens the most, but other times, like being flat out told that I was really good looking, but far too tall and therefore intimidating for anyone to approach me, or which shoes I can and cannot wear (I *love* shoes!!) because some of them make me too tall. Or when I'm walking down the street with my sister and people (men and women alike) stop and stare at us, mouths open slightly as though we were freaks. Now, I figure at 5'11", there's just no escaping the fact that I'm tall. I've come to accept it, and will wear heels now, which I never would before. I figure, I tower over everyone anyway, a couple more centimetres is *not* going to make that much difference.

Welp, this is the AMMF, the fruvous newsgroup where we discuss All Things Fruvous. However, usually this is not the case. Sometimes the topics of conversations stray off the fruvous path and meander toward other discussions, such as politics, other bands, feminism, typos, the hockey playoffs, proms, what have you. the latest threads (topics) have been about breast size and body hair! Mainly we try to keep things fruvous related (known as Fru-Content), but, as i stated in a previous post, this newsgroup seems to be a community of friends who have the love of Moxy Fruvous in common, and so we sometimes write aboot other things that interest us. Us NG Fruheads range in location, sex, and age (i myself am among the younger ones, at 18), and we are a bunch of friendly, interesting, creative and multi-faceted individuals who all happen to think that Moxy Fruvous is an amazing, talented, KICK-ASS band!

I really enjoyed this band: it was unusual having an energetic, all-guy, neo-Stray Cats kinda group opening in lieu of the standard Quiet Female Singer/Songwriter. I coveted that beautiful gold Epiphone guitar. Kris was also jealous when I described the bass player's antics: at one point, he had balanced the bass on its end and played it like an upright throughout the entire song. The crowd seemed stocked with a bunch of Rocky Velvet fans, too. I nabbed the setlist and handed it to a couple of young guys behind me who seemed enraptured by the band, and they immediately ran off to get it signed. Fun opener, and a great warmup for the dance-inlined. > > Here's some of what was played, *very* out of order. Thanks to Leah > Huntington for collaborating with me on this. Nothing from Wood was played. > Maybe others of you who were there can reorder the setlist and add to it as > you see fit. > > independence day Did they play this? I don't recall it. Here's what I have from The Other Kim's Dave setlist: Half As Much Laika Too Careful If Only I Love My Boss When She Talks KOS/GEH BJ Video Bargainville Splatter Splatter Michigan Militia Johnny Saucep'n Message (yay!) Early Morning Rain River Valley Get in the Car Your New Boyfriend Psycho Killer (E1) Billie Jean medley (E2) I Will Hold On My Poor Generation Notes: as far as I can recall, the absolutely LAST banter occurred during KOS/GEH. After the crowd cut Jian off, all the fun chatter ceased. Now the crowd WAS chatty, true, but I've heard worse (in Utica, for one) and it seemed a shame that the guys never really bounced back afterwards. Drinking Song was on the original setlist but wasn't played, but I much prefer My Poor Generation anyway so no issues there. :D More notes: thank goodness for Splatter Splatter. I'm really getting to like that song, and it broke up what for me would have been a bad bunch of songs (BJ and Video aren't among my favorites, and I'm so sick of Michi that I wish it would leave the setlist for a sustained period) and kept me from wandering back to the bar, where they had special on a rather interesting brand of tequila. I was disappointed, again, by the lack of "Downsizing" (I WILL hear that song again!) and my all-time favorite, "It's Too Cold," but the set had enough little treats to keep me from grumbling about things. > Jian abused me during Boss with his hair-tousling and hip-gyrations.

Thank goodness for Cal, too: he's one of the few poeple I've met at FruShows who knows some of my favorite bands like the New York Dolls, Shriekback, and countless obscure seventies-and-eighties punk/new wave acts. It helps me feel younger when people get my references on the rare occasions when I can articulate adequately. It was wonderful talking to everybody afterwards (minus the errant Dave) and I'm looking forward to tonight! I missed Maureen at the Dennys, but kept up with Kim until the Indian Castle/Iroquois rest stop on the Thruway where I finally surrendered to fatigue and slept until about 7am. At least I could stop for my Hoboken TripTik on the way home. :D - -kimberly ------------------------------ Date: 8 May 1999 14:20:30 GMT From: srm9988n@aol.com.LoriM (Srm9988n) Subject: OT: attention Cheesemaker!
