Costs about $ 18 (not pricey compared to the motels and other area campgrounds - and it's facilities WERE renovated this year. One can make reservations via 1-800-933-PARK.

But now i look back at that and laugh at myself for spending so much time thinking about a guy whose IQ could rival that of a LAMP's. A nice enough guy, but a little, um, lacking in the brain department, as most jocks are. All my life ive always developed these crushes on jocks yet when i look back i think WHY??? ya sure, cute and maybe even nice, but aside from that, thats about it! The jocks at my school are largely stupid, illiterate, cooler-than-thou assholes. As for none of the starters on the two teams being ugly, hehe i concur (with a possible few exceptions). i think its like a prerequisite for hockey players to be great looking :) Keep a look out for these (Stars) in particular: Nieuwendyk, Hatcher and Guy Carbonneau, who is 39 yet who i think is still really sexy. Did anyone hear the anthem being sung before game 2? Was i the only one who buried my head under my chair and waited for the hair raising caterwauling to subside? oh man, there are some people that just SHOULDNT be allowed microphones. someone mentioned the statistic in a previous post that 80% of teams who win the first game go on to win the series. all i have to say to that is... STATS SCHMATS!!!!!!!! This is the Stars we are talking about, they defy stats and whatever is "the norm". while im at it, is there ANYONE ELSE, JUST ONE PERSON besides me on this list who is going for Dallas? whaaa i feel so... outnumbered. ok, as for "Clarendon"... hehe, i too went for my atlas to find this magical place to see if it is within fru-range and couldnt find it. and crotch lake??? where the hell is that? i think its just a made up city :) but if anyone is going and is coming from the states, do you think there is any room for a rideless cheesemonkey? Also the TO show on july 11....i might not have a ride to that one either. my dad has taken a new job and will most likely be busy. ARGHHH i hate asking for rides but thats what licence-less cheesemonkeys have to do... Birthdays... happy belated jian, you rock like the rock you are (????) as for me, this cheesemonkey is 19 as of 7:20 this morning!!!! ACK!!!!! My bday consists of going out for dinner with the fam, coming home to watch game 3 and then *TRYING* to get into a bar with my bro and his friend. i say TRYING because I DONT EVEN HAVE VALID IDENTIFICATION!!! ARGHHHHH all i have is my birth certificate and a student photo card which i am going to try to use, but if i cant get in, im screwed. i dont have the photo health card or a drivers license or a passport. ARGHHH there is nothing more frustrating than being 19 and HAVING IT NOT MATTER!! ACKACKACKACK!! However i will be receiving my photo health card in two to three weeks so i will now be able to get to the 19+ shows, fruvous or otherwise! WOOPWOOP! no more griping about not being able to get in (unless of course they raise the age to 21, which, with my luck i can totally see happening) anyhoo, ive babbled enough and prolly bored you all to tears so im gonna finish up this post (before my comp freezes again!!!) - -jen the "now age of majority but nothing to prove it" cheesemonkey === The World's Shortest Pessimistic Poem: Hope?

They both have dumb band names that were probably funny at one time that's so wondefully objective. I'm glad you think that your opinion of what's dumb and what isn't happens to be the globally accepted on, too. > 2. Both are far too chummy with geeky fans in the crowd chicken or egg? I think the music has, over the years, naturally attracted that type of audience, and it just happens to be a large portion of the audience now. it's not like it's a conscious decision on the part of any band as to who their audience is. > 3. Look at their most-requested songs: > Uncle Bonsai "Boys Want Sex In the Morning" > Moxy Fruvous "King of Spain" > Both novelty-type Dr. Demento songs Every band has this problem with people who aren't "into" the band. Among those who are Fruheads, you'll probably find very few who are only interested in hearing King of Spain (likewise They Might Be Giants with Particle Man, and many other bands I can't think of at the moment) (everyone else - don't get me wrong - I love King of Spain, especially live, but... but... WOOD! Like... all of it! :) > 4. Nice triple harmonies > 5. Acoustic rock ok, you've said something somewhat positive here. But Fruvous do wonderful *four-part* harmonies... good stuff. acoustic rock, though? they touch on so many styles it's really hard to classify them. if *anything*, folk-rock might be appropriate, but I think even that doesn't do justice to a band like Moxy Fruvous. > 6. The "serious" side... exemplified by really obscure lyrics this statement implies that you think Moxy Fruvous are a joke band. > 7. -> Small crowds <- unless a band has a huge record contract and a lot of money, they'll always have small crowds. it's a self-perpetuating thing, really - because the crowds are small, fewer people get introduced to the music, so the crowds stay small. these days, it seems the only way for a band to get really huge is to sell out. and besides, they were able to fill the 9:30 club in February, which isn't a small venue. a lot of what you're saying I've also seen people say about They Might Be Giants (my other favorite band), and really, it shows that you don't really know or care what the band is really about. which makes me wonder why i bothered responding...

So, I'm thinking about Ft. Erie and thought I'd start the toll(just because I'm bored and need something to do!) Who's going? When are you thinking you'll be arriving? What are you bringing? Would anyone who's staying the weekend or lives local be interested in going to [Six Flags]Darien Lake Theme Park for the 4th of July? (Darien Lake is off exit 48A on the Thruway, halfway between Buffalo and Rochester, but closer to the Buffalo side). My friend Chris and I almost always go to DL on the 4th, and a large group is always more fun (even if it did rain and was miserably cold last year)! I was thinking of bringing my big camping cooler (its an igloo48 with a top tray, inside 22"x10"x12"). If people wanted to bring foodstuffs, maybe someone who has a portable grill or camp stove (haven't gotten around to getting one yet), we could do a little FrüHaus Cookout kinda thing. Oh, and of course, I'm bringing my drum, even if it just stays on the blanket or in my trunk :^) Also thinking of bringing a boom box with CD's and a few tapes. It's been a good 9 or 10 years since I've been to this festival (same time of year, I'm assuming its the same festival but I could be wrong), I just remember we were spread out on blankets hangin' out and eating :^) If I'm way off base with planning, someone enlighten me, 'kay? :^) Otherwise, I think this is as good excuse as any for an all day party!
