To Whom It May Concern: I feel that this persistent racket of Chris O'Malley being dead needs to cease immediately. I feel that, as a conscientous and non spelling-enabled member of society today, that I have an intimate knowledge with the state of life vs. death as it exists in the world. When handed any article, I feel I should have a rather fine chance of determining the aliveness or deadness of the article. I would hazard a guess of an average mean success rate of 80% on this endeavor. I do not consider myself an expert in this field, but rather an enthusiast. I spend my weekends and spare time handling materials and other such articles and determining their individual status. On even the most inconclusive articles, I feel even I have a 50/50 chance to determine the correct descriptive adjective. Given this intimate knowledge of my abilities, I posit that the descriptive adjective "dead" is not entirely wholly acurate for the article Chris O'Malley and that any further discussion of this state should be ceased immediately or continue in a more scientific path. Please keep me updated. Thank you. Sincerely, Chad ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 17:35:37 GMT From: Tim Cain Subject: Re: Madison Set List et such >What a great show. The lovely Barrymore theatre was a perfect setting for >Moxy Fruvous. It was about 1/2 full 350 - 400 people, but a good listening crowd. << Agreed. I'd like to have bottled this crowd and brought it back home with me. And the Madison folks have done a nice job with the restoration of the theater. >By the way - Tim, were you the guy in the Maple Leaf Jersey? << No, I was wear my Fruvous jersey with a Tigger baseball jersey over the top. (Hey, it was 70 degrees when I left Decatur for the Chicago shows Friday afternoon. Can I be blamed for not bringing a jacket? Oh yeat -- Wisconsin in February. I AM a bright boy). I was seated in the second row with three Fruvirgins. I figured the deflowering process would go easier if I were there to help. The best comment by one of my virgin friends came after "Ash Hash:" "You know, there just aren't very many songs about hashish." OK, stick with me here, because this is a bit of a story, but I think at least two of you might enjoy it: After the Friday show, I got into a lively discussion with the lovely Mrs. Cain during which I claimed I could predict the majority of the set list for the Saturday show. Through a convuluted series of negotiations, we came up with this: I could list 18 songs. If Fruvous played 14 of the 18, Mrs. Cain would purchase me a Fruvous t-shirt. (She said "we'll negotiate that" when asked what would be the price for me losing the bet.) I put together what I thought was a pretty solid list for Saturday, including predicting "Nowhere Man" as the opener. I got 5 of the first 7, and then just five of the rest of the show. Undaunted, I put together a list for the Madison show. This time, I had 12 of 14. (How could they not play "The Drinking Song" on consecutive nights??) After the Madison show, I got a chance to talk briefly with Jian, who said the Chicago crowds "really weren't all that bad." That wasn't the way it was from where I stood, but if the band wasn't pissed, that's fine by me. I also told Jian about the wager, and he looked over my prediction list and pointed out three songs he'd cut from the list at the last minute. He said, "How many did you get?" and when I said "12," he looked at my wife and said, "That's not enough to win the bet!?" That was almost as good as winning the bet would have been. - --tc tcain1@webmart.net; http://www.webmart.net/~tcain1 "Thank God I lived to see the Super Bowl halftime show!" -- David Letterman, 2/21/2000 ------------------------------ Date: 28 Feb 2000 17:27:15 GMT From: srm9988n@aol.comicrelief (Lori at fruhead dot com) Subject: Re: OT: Re: Peeps!!!!!

Of course, you've already apologized for that so I'm stating basically nothing. As for the clique situation. I've talked with some people in person about my feelings on it. Basically, it's going to happen. Friendships are formed, and when people only have the span of a few days to cram all their past years lifes events together, well, some serious group interaction starts taking place. I came to Frucon basically by myself. I knew pretty much no one. I had no plans. This is how I always travel. I had a blast. I met alot of people, and still failed to meet alot of people that I wanted to meet. I got to spend hours and hours walking around Toronto (Bah, pickpocketters suck!) and enjoyed it immensely. I valued my time by myself as much as I valued my time meeting everyone. I wish I had more time to spend with everyone I met, and can't wait to see each and everyone again.
