Ok. Weeks before the show, during my spring break, I’m talking with my Virginia fru-buds and we all decide that we should meet up at the Jersey and NYC frushows. That settled, we buy tickets together with the intentions that they drive up from VA and I come down from NYC. Except that two weeks before the show, I can’t find a ride and I decide to sell my ticket. It’s ok, I’d see them (my buds) at the NYC show, right? Well, Amy (one of the VA crew) calls me early in the week and tells me that some of the VA crew can’t go and she has extra tickets. I also find out that my friend Rachel from back home in Colorado was flying out to Mays Landing to surprise me. Man, now I seriously wanted to go again. On Thursday I’m supposed to have two classes - except that my second class was canceled (I’m convinced my professor was living up the fact that it’s “4/20” but that’s another story). I start thinking, weeell... ok... maybe I can get down to Mays Landing afterall. Come on, it’s only about 3 hours from the city, right? No way. Where would I find a ride this late? So I’m wandering around midtown just chilling with all this extra time because the class was canceled, when I happen upon this guy just standing on the corner of 41st and 8th Ave. by the bus station, looking quite distressed. I’m a pretty friendly person (definitely not your “typical new yorker” by any means) and I start talking to him. I tell him my situation and he says he’s heading down to southern jersey anyway and can give me a ride to Atlantic City as long as I do him a favor. I’m thinking #1 hmm... how far away is AC from the show? and #2 what is wrong with this guy? a “favor?!” Turns out that he’s having lunch with his parents in Atlantic City and needs someone to pose as his “girlfriend.” Long story short - he’s gay, his parents aren’t the most accepting people in the world and despite the number of times he’s tried to explain to them his situation, they dont’ understand. So in order to please them - and help me out - he figures it’s a win-win situation. So I’m thinking, this guy is too crazy... but I’m getting a free ride and a free lunch out of it - so I went. Yeahyeah, not the most intelligent move but I did. After a pretty cool car ride (he was souped by my musical tastes - i told him to check out fruvous when he got a chance *grin*) We got down to Atlantic City at around 3pm and met up with his parents at some restaurant in a hotel. That was definitely weird - mind you yesterday I was sporting my “ghetto-punk attire” so I wasn’t the most appealing looking person but his parents ended up being pretty fun people after all and lunch was great (there are so many stories but I’m trying to get to the frucontent). After lunch, we go and get back in his car while his parents go to theirs and he drives me about 4 blocks and lets me off. I thanked him profusely and told him to take it easy... I hope everything works out for him in the end. So here I am in Atlantic City... awww sheeit. I find the bus station and am told that Mays Landing is a good half an hour away. I have $20 in my pockets which is enough for my ticket to the show - so I didn’t want to spend that on a cab or anything. So I’m thinking... to hitchhike or not to hitchhike. I start walking towards the ‘expressway’ with the intentions of thumbing it. Within like 30 seconds of my finally deciding to take the risk and hitchhike... I hear this car horn honking behind me. beep beep! beep! I turn around to find AMY!! how crazy is that?! After the “Oh my god, what are you doing wandering around on the streets of Atlantic City?!” type stuff and my “what are you doing here?” questions. Turns out she decided to check out a casino before the show since she had time and was on her way to the show. *whew* no hitchhiking for me! :D When we got to the show, we met up with my friend Rachel from back home (CO) and when we all sat down Rachel and I commented on how this was going to be like the first frushow we ever saw in Colorado at Swallow Hill. It was a pretty small venue -and there were seats *sigh* We also mentioned how cool that show was and how awesome it had been that we got to hear gulf war song at our very first show. Then we laughed and realized that we probably wouldn’t hear that one live again for a looong time - boy were we wrong *grin* The opener was pretty cool. As far as the show went - The Murray-slide song/banter was great in the very beginning of the show, I loved hearing organ grinder live. The boys seemed pretty into it but that might have just been because of the camera-men, or perhaps the fine decor of the theater - I know they both turned me on *grin* I’m excited to see the show tonight and hey if anyone wants to make donations to the “fund Special J’s trip to NoHo” so I don’t start thinking about hitchhiking again *grin* feel free to come say hi to me at the show (a picture of me can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/tmbgirl.geo/jordan.html ) Uhm, other than that... take it easy, Special J http://www.geocities.com/tmbgirl.geo/ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 18:26:16 GMT From: tmbgirl@my-deja.com Subject: Re: 4/20 frushow story (damn funny). hehee, sorry about the spacing on that *shrug* don't know what happened. take it easy, Special J http://www.geocities.com/tmbgirl.geo/ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. ------------------------------ Date: 21 Apr 2000 18:55:33 GMT From: pookytoby@aol.com (Pooky Toby) Subject: OT: Insignificant moxy coincidences Hello, all! I thought I'd delurk for a bit, simply to share a story about my little adventure today [1]. This afternoon, I visited the Earth Day event at the University of Rochester. Lost as lost can be for nearly twenty minutes, I discovered that there is, indeed, a parking lot where a permit is not required. Then, having only a tiny map from the U of R website, I managed to find my way... nowhere. I was hopelessly lost, never having been to the campus before (and of course all those brick buildings look identical to the untrained eye). Finally, I threw the map away because it was just confusing me (all those rocket scientists and such, and that university can't even make a map to scale?). Feeling very self-conscious and out-of-place, I asked a random guy for directions [2] and eventually made it to Wilson Commons, where the Earth Day thingy was. Upon arriving, I saw that the lower front of the building was covered with writing and drawings done in chalk which were in protest of sweatshops (I recall reading an article about this protest in the newspaper). Anyway, among the artwork, etc., I happened to notice that someone had written "Moxy Fruvous" in large blue-and-orange letters. This kind of small "moxy coincidence" seems to happen to me all the time, especially when I'm kinda lost and flying by the seat of my pants. It got me thinking about how fruheads always seem to appear whenever issues of social consciousness (i.e. sweatshops, earth day, etc.) are being discussed. So, I just thought I should say to whoever wrote it that their drawing made me smile. I'm glad to know you all. Erin ><}}}*> [1] I use the term "adventure" loosely; everything outside my tiny Catholic High School is an adventure to me :) [2] After i became "un-lost" I was chatting with Mr. Random Guy and discovered that his name was, of course, Murray. Coincidence? I think not! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 19:10:11 GMT From: 3241325@keggler.com Subject: Private Club Pays $500+ per Day by The Minute Hi, I just want you to take a quick look at this TRULY PHENOMENAL one-of-a-kind, PRIVATE OFFSHORE Wealth Building Program.

And this is a special hello to the VA peeps that didn't head up here with me. I'm chillin in Jordan's place basically because it's pouring down rain and we have nothing else to do. I love Jordan's story. How random was that? She's such a crazy girl. Anyway, so ya. My peeps pulled out on me this past week basically because they have no fundage, which is quite understandable. :-) I decided to head up here by myself anyway because I definitely need a vacation before the stress of finals that are coming up these next two weeks. My drive up to NJ was pretty nice. I thought it was going to be boring, but it was actually quite fun. Turns out that I got to Mays Landing with quite a bit of time on my hands, so I decided to head to Atlantic City and gamble. Whatever. It's close by and I've been there before. What the hell? Why not? So, I go to Caesar's Palace which is pretty cool and gamble $20 and left with $40. Not too bad, eh? I'm headed for the Expressway and who do I see? Ghetto-punk Jordan walking down the road. That girl is on crack, but we all have to love her, don't we? Hee hee. So, I pull over and pick her up. I can't believe she was going to hitchike! Anyway, so we drive to Mays Landing and get all excited about the Moxy Fruvous signs around ACCC's campus. It was quite funny. You would've been laughing at us. So, we get into the theatre and there's Jordan's friend, Rachel chillin in the row. That chick is way cool. Sarah Harmer was good. It was good chill music to listen to. Fruvous' set was great. That's the first sit down concert I've been to and I really enjoyed it. The camera-men were kinda funny...they went for really close close-ups. Jian's performance of I Love My Boss through the rows was awesome. People were dancing in the aisles and stuff. Really quite entermusing to say the least. I think that we have some new inductess into the Fruvous sorority, VA crew! After chillin in the theatre for a bit, we headed for my aunt's house in Avalon, which is about 45 min from Mays Landing. She hooked us up in one of her other houses down there (it's nice having a millionaire as an aunt). This house was tight. 3 stories and 5 bedrooms. We all slept in the master bedroom and on the softest bed. Ahh....paradise. So, now we're eagerly awaiting the "Rock Extravaganza" to quote Jian. :-) Anyone have any extra tickets to NoHo? We can definitely get up there and stuff, but funds are a little short despite the fact I won money in Atlantic City...I kinda spent it today.

"Thrang Thrang Gozinbulx" by Robert Fripp's League Of Gentlemen springs to mind, as does "SPKLANNG!!!" by Maury Lafoy's wonderfully bouncy side-project The Supers (although one must really hear the album's title shouted by Sean Cullen for the full effect.) at Jack's Music in Red Bank a few weeks ago, I picked up The Aquabats' new CD "The Aquabats Vs. The Floating Eye Of Death!". A great title that perfectly sums-up the ridiculously-catchy insanity contained within. Plus there's "A Society Of People Named Elihu" by indie-dweeb Atom And His Package, featuring such tracks as "Me And My Black Metal Friends", "Sting Cannot Possibly Be The Same Guy That Was In The Police", and "People In This Computer Lab Should Shut The Hell Up". ~MikeWood~ - ---------- o/~ What do you do when you 1500 pounds?
