We're saying you shouldn't block other people's views. That means moving to another part of the floor where your dancing is not challenging the sight lines of others. >> I can definitely agree with that. And I'm unfamiliar with the Keswick seating arrangements, but what exactly would those areas be? As was mentioned in the original post, folks are getting kicked out of the side and center aisles by guards a lot more often now. :( << >I have to disagree. I think it's perfectly all right, especially if a lot of >other people do it. You really don't want to go *there*, do you? ;) Lots of people are racist biased prejudiced pigs too, but that does NOT mean it's "perfectly all right." >> I guess I have to go there. Being a racist because "everybody's doing it" (which they are not) is a far cry from what happens when a bunch of people get up to dance. When that happens, it makes is more acceptable for others to join them, and the movement grows :) The more people do it, the less they hurt others because the others just get up as well. The question eventually becomes, should we stay seated for the few people who may or may not be there who prefer to sit, or should we join the masses and stand? [I'm not advocating joining the masses in general, but at shows it seems to work.] I'm aware that my whole argument could be used to support the racist example, but the difference is that in racism, the more people "stand up" ie., join, the more people are hurt by their increasing numbers. If that's even vaguely clear. << we like dancing. At standing shows, believe me you'll find us both right up front dancing. BUT we also feel people should be cognizant of the rights of others around them, and try not to get in their way. Especially when an alternative (approved-by-the-venue side-aisle dancing/standing) is available and plentiful. >> Wait, I agree with you. Is that a bad thing? :) No, I definitely understand how to be cognizant (vocab word!) of the rights of other. The point that sometimes, when that aisle is not available, or when seated people get angry at standing/dancing people, maybe it's because they don't realize that we *are* "trying not to get in their way." << And if there's any sort of "war" going on, which I really hope there isn't, I'd characterize it as between those arguing that rude behavior is okay when it's caused by their own exuberance vs. those saying no, it's not; that expressions of exuberance can be tempered and channelled in a way that is still enjoyable to the person experiencing it without infringing on the right of others to experience their own exuberance. What I'm trying to request is that we all be aware of *everyone's* needs and rights vs. our own wants. And yes, sometimes they will clash -- and that's where compromise is necessary. So, yes, in conclusion it does cause a problem. And now you have been made aware of it. The question is, are you going to dismiss those with the problem as a whining paranoid special-interest group -- or are you going to try to work something out that honors your rights *and* theirs? >> Oh gosh, I'm tired of arguing. But I have to admit that I'd be the first to give in to my "exuberance" and dance, although I'd make my best effort not to annoy anyone - especially anyone with a loud voice :) ...

But it doesn't mean you're allowed to trample other people's rights either, in the name of your own desires.

FWIW, the crowd at the DC show was one of my least favorite. I never did find a place to stand where there wasn't somebody having a conversation right where I was. I thought the band played really well; I thought Cal did a great job on the sound and that the band's energy level was great. The I-95 improv, the Chris the Mic Guy improv and the whole John Modeski's Gum thing were all wonderful, memorable bits. Nevertheless, this was not a show I enjoyed because I never could get into a groove. Fruvous plays really well at the 9:30 club, I just wish we could fill it with folks who are there to see the band, not to have a conversation or scam the crowd for babes. Maybe next time. On the subject of singing, I'm guessing that the Drinking Song is the only one where my voice is audible. The post-show Drink was odd because most everybody was singing the melody. I joined in with some harmonies at the end because it sounded so strange with nobody on that part. - --Amanda * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 16:21:02 -0500 From: kevin@way.eng.tvol.net (Kevin Way) Subject: OT: Pat Buchanan just checking to see if I have my newsreader setup right. why are you reading this anyway? - -- - ------------------------------------ name => Kevin Way position => Software Engineer company => Worldgate Communications email => kway@wgate.com pager => kway.pager@wgate.com phone => 215-354-5287 - ------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 22:06:28 GMT From: "Vokes, Laurie" Subject: RE: RANT - and request for opinions - Post DC show Gee you must have been sitting next to me!

I was at the Philly and Boston shows this past weekend and agree that the banter and songs were outstanding. I also proposed the same idea of are they recording for "C album" to my friend Amanda while we were driving to the Philly show. I'm sure that all would agree that there was fantastic material performed in these three shows and anyone who attended any of them would love to actually hear it again on a CD. Let's hope this is the case since it would be a shame if the great moments of these shows were never to be heard again. And if that is so, I am happy that I was at two of these great shows since they are forever in my memories.

I drove up from NYC to take one of my oldest friends Ilene who I met at summer theatre camp over 15 years ago. She loves BNL but had never heard of Moxy Fruvous before, which I decided had to be fixed. I knew if I took her to a live show that she would love them as much as I do. We left her place in Chelmsford, MA early so we get to Davis Square, find parking and get some dinner before the show. To our great surprise, we got a spot right next to the theater. Great parking karma! Then we went to find a place to eat dinner and settled on a Chinese restaurant. Then we wandered back to theater for the show. Ilene was a real sport as I talked to Tobey to get my Frumiles card stamped for Somerville show. I hadn't know about the Frumiles when I started see the band just over a year ago and Tobey told me in Philly if I brought my old tickets stubs he give me the stamps for those shows. Therefore, I had brought Tobey a snowman Pez that I practically walked into earlier that morning as a thank you for added my old shows to my card. With my card all stamped, Ilene and I went inside to get our seats for Sarah's opening set. I almost died when I saw our seats. They were behind a pole in the orchestra. I bring my friend to see her first show and we both can only see half the stage around the pole. Silently, I was cursing Ticketmaster. I thought that they had to tell you if you were sold tickets with obstructed views. Despite the lack of view, Ilene told me that she really enjoyed Sarah's music during the set break. Then the best thing that ever could have happened occurred. A man with the theater crew or the Moxy crew, I not sure which, came over to us and asked us how many people were in our party. I answered two and he said since we couldn't see around the pole that they were going to move us for the show. We were moved to the folding chairs that were in front of the first row. Ilene wasted no time in moving us. She said goodbye to her friend Becky who happened to be at the show and was talking with her as this all happened. I couldn't believe our luck, which I had been cursing earlier for the pole seats but instead got to see the show right in front of Murray and Jian. It was so great of theater/band to move us to we could not only see but to some of the best seats in the house. I was so happy since it really made Ilene's first show something that she's never forget. It's also a show I'll never forget since I never have been that close to the stage before and I got Murray's set list that night. She liked them so much she bought Live Noise for herself and told me I can come back and take her to any other Fruvous show in the Boston area. She also loved meeting the Jian, Murray and Mike after the show and made me promise to send the copies of the photos I had taken of us with the guys. The only review point I wanted to add was how emotional Jian's IWHO was that night. I have heard him talk about how it's not really a love song that night and at other shows but never really felt that way myself. That night it wasn't the words that changed my mind but the performance. Being right next to the stage I could see all the emotion of Jian's face as he sang. At the end, I saw what looked at tear on his cheek. I don't think I'll ever listen to IWHO and not think of that bittersweet emotion I saw on Jian's face that night. Hope everyone else there had as wonderful a time as we did.

Sorry. My cousin lives in Wilbraham, and when she visited me in Minnesota, she flipped out at how the roads were so STRAIGHT, and went on forever. I had the opposite reaction when I visited her in Mass and found that some roads curve to make way for historical trees and houses. Also, when I drove alone in Boston for the first time, I got lost (natch) so I stopped for directions. I showed the guy my map, and found out that in a span of a couple of minutes, I had driven from the bottom of the map OFF the top of the page, and had to backtrack.
