I loved Chad's description, explanation, and justification (if any was needed) of his Fruvous avocation? hobby? interest? (trying to avoid the word, obsession). I think I'd do the same if I could. Lori wrote: >It's bad enough the rest of the world thinks we're raving lunatics >for being so much into a band they've never heard of. We don't >have to play these games, or judge each other's choices, too. As someone who is older than most of you on the ng--or some of you--well, at least I know I'm older than Chad and the other Melanie who posts--I feel as though I can get away with being a Fruhead a lot less easily than someone younger. It's even hard for me to call myself that, but if the shoe fits. . . . You know, as you get older, you're supposed to "put away childish things,"(1) as it were. I feel like I'm hovering on the edge of a particularly interesting type of insanity and wishing I could go all the way over. As it is, Moxy Fruvous has brought a whole lot of fun into my life and a wonderful kind of craziness which is so different from anything else I do. And because 14 months ago, I would have thought being a Fruhead would be totally out of character for me, it's made me reflect on my life and what's important in life in general--humor and lightheartedness being among them. And in reflection, I've realized that many of the things that I think are important in life are reflected in Fruvous songs. My family and friends are by turns amused, confused, and bemused (as I am myself) by this obsession. But a lot of younger folks who know me think it's cool. The wonderful thing about this news group is, I don't have to explain this obsession to any of you. It's a given. Yeah, sometimes some comments feel judgmental, but I usually attribute them to the inadequacies of the electronic medium. (Giving the benefit of the doubt.) When I jumped into the ng, I did so without even saying hello--probably should have lurked longer before I leapt. But I jumped in because I felt I would be welcome, and I was.(2) Thanks. melanie (1) I don't think Moxy Fruvous is childish. It's a biblical reference that seemed appropriate. (2) But I admit that there's still a part of me that wonders whether younger Fruvous fans don't look at me and wonder "What's SHE doing here." (I'm not THAT old, but I do have children older than some of the people on this ng. But they are younger than Chad.) *grin* "Strangely it all turns out right. How does it?

And the things I do remember aren't worth posting... but here goes: Taryn and I leave Roch around 5pm en route to Batavia to pick up Mike and Jennifer. Interesting conversations along the way about the varying levels and definitions of FruHead-dom, what makes gay men so attractive to straight women, Adam Sandler stand-up comedian vs. Adam Sandler comic actor, and all sorts of strange stuff in between (including what makes certain straight men more attractive than others, but that's another story, *smirk*) So, I'm in the navigator seat... and I've finally decided that I'm turning in my navigator card. It seems like every time I get into a car, esp if Fru-related, I get lost! We make it to Gardiner Expy, but take the wrong exit on York St and end up heading North. I know we want to turn around and head towards the lake, and I know the general direction we want to head... but thanks to the _wonderful_ parking attendant and clerk at the Beer Store, we get directed to walking along the lake to the Molson Amphitheatre!!! Thanks to my trusty cell phone (ack there are pics floating around of me with said device firmly attached to my head... I'm becoming one of them!!!), I call Amy (Amychic2, hi honey!!!) find out we're about a 25 min walk from the Harbourfront Amphitheatre!!! Of course, she said we had plenty of time... and we were going by the schedule posted on FDC, which said Tory at 8:30, Fruvous at 9:30.. and since we were figuring in Fruvous Time... anyway, We take a cab back to Harbourfront, turns out we parked kiddie-corner to where we needed to be (arghhh, just shoot me and get it over with!), and as we approach the theatre the announcer comes on and introduces Moxy!!! at 9:15!!!! If we hadn't taken the cab... I immediately decide I need to be stage Dave, and start trotting over there to stand against the railing, Taryn and crew find seats near me so I sit down. We got quite a few looks from people around us... esp when singing along to the new songs off of Thornhill (all the die-hards were makin' noise up front, how I longed to be there!!!) Setlist? Don't ask, Lost it after Laika, sorta. Hightlights were Tory coming out to sing Jockey Full o'Bourbon and play the trumpet during the instrumental. That was awesome! So mad I missed his set :^( Taryn bought the CD so I'm sure I could find time to hear it at some point, right? *wink* Jian commented on his mum being out in the audience, an inevitability when they play in Toronto, and he said that after every show she'd come up to him and make some comment like, "oh that was very nice and all but, why were you chewing gum?" And either Mike or Murray commented on the mom thing of wiping dirt off of your face with a tissue that magically appears (Murray I believe with the comment, "tuck that back in your bra where you got it!"), leading to a comment about the fact that Men, because they sneeze all the time, carry a handkerchief, but never offer to clean the face... which lead to the theory that women don't sneeze, and that they never see a woman sneeze (well, if they saw me in class I'd prove them wrong today, head cold's second wave, nothing but sneezing... sheesh!) Of course, at the tail end of Jian talking about his mum Murray asked him about the curious absence of swearing on Jian's part, and Mike asked, (or maybe it was Murray again, can't remember) "yeah, where's that potty mouth we've come to know and love?" [personal thought, that is SO kids in the playground! gettin' Jian in trouble with the moms... heehee]. There was a person in the boat (James?) that blared his air horn a few times, Jian laughed that it might be a friend of their's, to which boat guy blared again. So what next ensued was an improv song with a call and repeat, "Is that James in the Boat" (Is That James in the Boat), he'd pause, and boat guy would blare 2 times. Later on in the night he blared his horn and it kinda warbled, and Jian said he needed to revive his air horn (or something along those lines)... and the boat guy blared this hysterical warbly sound. Mike was full of energy, as always... where in the HELL does he get it??? He was all over the place for Boo Time (the only bit i remember was the repeating line "Doin' up a blunt at Harbourfront"). For some reason, the back and forth scat between him and Dave seemed especially cool last night, they seemed to really be having a ball with it. There were a couple of little teasers about songs throughout the night. The guys had gotten very quiet to start a song, and it was raining and you could hear it rushing along the other side of the amphitheatre... and Mike said it sounded like the beginning of Bittersweet, and someone (can't remember who was on drums) started playing the rhythmic beginning to it. Mike said something about it being an inside joke and pointed at the folk up front. Later there were also references to Organ Grinder (tease!!!) Right before they're closer (before the 2 two song encores), they started playing Splatter Splatter, Mike was trying to cue up the electric (correct me if I'm wrong, he does play the acoustic, right?), seemed to be having some problems, looked at Jian and Dave, grinned sheepishly and grabbed the acoustic. During this Jian told us all to stand up (but not piss off the people around us) and have some fun with this one. Aural Speed strikes again, I for one went spastic (I can't help it, I love dancing to that song!). So, they made their bow, left the stage, and poor Tobey was running back and forth changing guitar string after guitar string. They came back out, did a couple more songs (Get in the Car was in there, Michigan Militia was somewhere in there... I forget)... and closed with MPG. I get a feeling that, partially in an effort to pull away from the Bargainville atmosphere, MPG is replacing The Drinking Song. I honestly can't remember off the top of my head the last time I heard it as the closer... I'm thinking maybe before FalconRidge? After the show I tried to keep my socializing brief (sorry Taryn) but it didn't happen. I originally wasn't going to say anything to the guys, but in waiting to talk to Tobey I gave in and went to visit with Dave, we chit-chatted about nothing, then I went back to talk to Tobey, saw Murray standing behind a car and went to bug him for a bit. He's funny, at FalconRidge we talked a bit about my SCA Fencing activities, and he seems to bring it up just about everytime I see him. I got tired of waiting to see Jian, also realizing it was near Midnight and we had a 3 hr drive and I had to be at work by 7am, we decided to head out. Well, he had bopped over to the merch area to grab a CD, and was running back to whoever he was talking to. As he ran past, I pointed a finger at him and told him to slow down or something smart-ass, to which he replied, "Hey SnarkiFru!" *groan* does that make it my official Fru-nick now? heehee Anyhow, I remember more, but I'm lazy and some of it won't make much sense out of context (ya had to be there kinda thing). it was great seeing the hundreds of people I don't have the brain cells to recall, hugs to you all! Amy, glad you dragged your Dad up to TO for the show! I wish I coulda hung out longer... but I was a passenger and more importantly, I had to get home! For the record, I was in bed by 3:50a, my alarm was set for 5:30 and I didn't even hit Snooze... and made it to work by 6:50a. I had a good class, was awake and aware and got great evaluations.

Which is pretty good considering that I've only heard IWHO before and that was on the JamTV webcast. My only major blunder was with "You Can't Be Too Careful" I saw the acutal lyric: "You can't agonize over it" What I thought it was: "You can't hang a knife over it" Which still kind of makes sense because their talking about chances and if you have a knife hanging over your situation you feel pressure and one wrong move could be really bad. Any how, that's my two cents. BTW I was walking down the road today listening to Earthqakes and a couple things happened 1. In the first time the chorus comes up at the line "Look at the clouds" I looked up and saw a cloud shaped just like LBC. 2. Then in the same chorus I was still looking up and saw the first quarter of the moon in the sky at the line "Look at the moon that the light of the sun makes" 3. Next at "Look at these tiny things bothering me" I walked straight into a swarm of flies (I guess that's what I get for staring at the clouds ;-) 4. Finally at the last "Look at the wind..." Guess what? Of course, the wind picked up.

I had a dream that I was in class and we were discussing the movie "The English Patient" (I had not watched it yet when I had the dream). One of the boys complained that it's just other stupid chick flick. I agreed with him but I said "You have no right to complain about a movie unless you've read the book first, then you can complain all you want." Then Fruvous appeared in the background almost like ghosts. Then everyone looked at me incredulously and asked me "Is The English Patient really a book?" Then it was my turn to be surprised becuse I thought that everyone knew that. I said that it was a really good book, it won the Pulitzer in 1991 and that it was written by Micheal Ondaatje. Then the second I said that, the guys appeared and started to sing MBLABOA, but it was combined with Johnny Saucep'n and GE&H. Then the song ended and Jian joined me in discussing how bad producers are in capturing the spirit of books in their movies. Meanwhile Dave, and Mike were lecturing everyone else about entropy and cold fusion. Murray was just hanging back strumming on the bass. There was a lot more to the dream but I don't remember it. I've also had many other dreams but I can't find the book I write them down in. ------------------------------ Date: 28 Aug 1999 04:00:29 GMT From: srm9988n@aol.comicrelief (Lori at fruhead dot com) Subject: Re: Independence Day Question Okay, my question to maria, nate and frukid is: how the heck big *are* your cities?
