So far it was about 30-45 minutes to North Hampton, and that's the only time we've seen them. But I get my learner's permit in December, and then license in July...mwahahahaha... maria ended her message with: > I almost typed "massage". hm... I started cracking up reading that.

How far (hours-wise) would you drive to go to a Fruvous show? << I've done Cincinnati to Rochester (550 miles) a couple of times, But I've got family in Roch, so it's not so crazy. I'd planned to go to Northampton from a family visit in Rochester. Between those two places wouldn't have been bad, but then I'd have to drive from Massachusetts to Cincinnati. Fortunately, my conflict over that was solved by Fruvous doing the benefit for WBER. However, the Rochester concert date shift from Dec. 10 to Nov. 24 is not a felicitous one for me. GRRR. I'll try and work it out somehow, but this is one time when I'll have to make a choice between my desire to see Moxy Fruvous and a work responsibility. Of course, I know where my heart is. melanie "Love--and a bit with a dog. That's what they want."

Now I'm looking forward to ditching school for Fruvous. (Being that CO is as close as Fruvous gets to me...I guess I have very few options. Sigh.)

Not only did IWHO live make me swoon, but it was my first introduction to Jian! Oh, lordy! But, like you, when I got Thornhill I was deply saddened. I suppose his voice sounds less nasal on Thornhill, and I guess that's why he did it, but I definately would go for the passion. Same with "If only you knew" but to a lesser extent. No swooning involved. - -Joy (May the lobsters nip at your feet, but never get a toe. :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 01:20:21 GMT From: SugarFly26@aol.com Subject: Re: fruvous appearing in schools Here's my collection of stories of Fruvous in school to add. I've been making a point to carry Fruvous to school etc even though I don't really have room with the no backpack rule. But anyway, #1. My music teacher over heard me playing GWS when I was really frustrated one day and asked who I was listening to. Then later I had Live Noise and on came Johnny Saucep'n and he laughed a little. Jokingly I said, Are you making fun of my music? He laughed and said Yes. But I like it, at least they can sing. Some bands now use instruments to cover up lack of a decent singing voice or have one lead singer and little clue about harmony. Mwahahahahaha....a potential Fruhead? #2. Spanish teacher mentions a King of Spain. A couple people who know me or Fruvous glance my way with a little Hey that's that song, look. I start mouthing the words. Mi grupo looks at me like I'm crazy. - ------------> Ln ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 01:20:27 GMT From: Melanie Subject: Made a Convert It's a modest success story, but it is my own. In June, planning for the concert in Ann Arbor, I contacted a friend who lives there. She and her husband are retired (BTW--I'm quite a few years away from retirement. 20-25 or so). I just wanted to see them while I was there. But when Norma heard this she invited me to stay with them, and asked if I wanted company at the Moxy Fruvous concert. Well, Norma's cool, and she's a musician, so I figured she'd enjoy the show. I sent her a tape so she could hear some of their music. She saved me the article from the Ann Arbor News. As you may have heard, it was a GREAT concert. Norma was impressed. She just wrote to tell me that she and her husband will be spending a couple of months in Oregon. She learned that Moxy Fruvous will be in Portland in October, and they're planning to see the show!! Now I'm working on the 20-somethings I know. Why does it feel so good when you introduce Moxy Fruvous to someone and they become a fan? melanie "Love--and a bit with a dog. That's what they want."

Bravo! Bravo! :) This is exactly what I mean, about certain situations making sense, drive-wise. These shows are in the middle of the week. (Monday night in Seattle and Tuesday night in Portland, IIRC.) So are the Fruvous shows in SoCal (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights). They flat-out make no sense. I'd have to skip lots of classes, which is a Bad Thing(tm) if you're a scholarship student and have a vested financial interest in doing well. If these shows fell on a weekend (as the two EFO shows in WA will in November), it'd make a far more tempting target, since we'd have all Sunday to drive back down. Now put away the hammer before you hurt somebody. :) >Challenge to all of you other-coasters: A select few of us left-coasters saw >y'all out at Falcon Ridge this summer.
