Wanna bet? ;) While eating pasta every night is certainly not a prerequisite for being Italian, it is practiced far and wide. At least, in Northern Italy. Pasta being a side dish, most often, and not a meal in itself. As for pizza, again in Northern Italy you do eat it with utensils. It's so thin (each person gets a whole pizza and still has room for dessert) that you can't eat it without a fork and knife. >Italy is the ONLY country shaped like footwear, >The FIRST nation of soccer, >And the BEST part of Europe!!

I agree wholeheartedly. On a lighter note however, the owner of the toy store I work for knows how much of a fruhead I am, but that I dont get XPN - so she called me on my day off to tell me about the auction.

What a great show. Seed Cycle Opened first. Great little local New Haven Band. So I got my usual spot stage Mike up against the stage...made some great friends! ( Hi Guys!). The set was the best I've ever seen. Here's what it reads. Sahara Horseshoes Splatter Sad Girl Lazy Boy Kick in the Ass Sticky Floor ( Improv Jam) Fell in Love River Valley Boo Time Disco Bargainville Michy Saucep'n Pisco Fly Nuits de Reve King -> Green Eggs Love Potion Medley Encores guinea Pig <- New C Album Tune from Mike Darlington Billy Jian Drinking Song The set rocked. Some of the highlights....Dave had this awesome solo during nuits...it was incredible. Toads Place is a great hall...but the place is DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY. Mike said " I went to do my little foot thing during Horseshoes and I couldn't move it...It was stuck!" and Jian talking about how he touched things and has now contracted the Toads Place Virus. The crowd was pretty well assembled by the beginning of the show although there didn't seem to be a great deal of fruheads there. Jian's first mention of Toads was the enormous plastic net that separated the bar from the stage area and made sure to welcome the " drunks on the other side in the cage"...so the fence became a joke for the night. At one point Dave made the mention that he wanted some vodka...lucky one of my friends on the bar side brought him one and asked the sound guy from Toads to have him tell me happy birthday...but all Dave said was " and to the pretty lady who gave me the vodka...Happy Birthday!". Overall everyone had a great time. Jian came and laid on the stage where we were standing for some of the girls...I don't think I've ever seen anyone melt that fast before. I had Mike's set list @ the end of the night but one unhappy little Fruhead who puts a bad name to the rest of us decided that it was her's. She actually wanted to fight for it and ripped a large circular hole in it..at which point I took the crumpled remains and threw them back at her...oh well...there will be others....maybe she'll grow up one day. Well...must be running...look for my pictures later on...hope that they came out. Have fun everyone!

Well, Thornhill may be a different matter (I'm pretty surprised they're making videos at all, to tell the truth), but in the older video collection most of those songs definitely aren't "Jian" songs (or "Jean" either :). A lot of those seem to be "Dave" songs (although I don't want to start the "Who wrote what" debate all over again). My roommate and I, sitting around one night were joking about how for the first group of videos they released, were like "We're *so* glad Dave has joined the group! We're really really glad Dave has joined the group! We'll sing whatever you want, Dave!" Ok, so we'd had a little to drink. I am surprised that they're not putting together a video for "Splatter Splatter" though. Isn't that supposed to be the US "release?" And, it's such a "video-able" song. Right, Joe? ;) ciao, donna ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 18:52:48 EDT From: FruCake1@aol.com Subject: Re: Videos (Was: XPN) Donna shut me up by writing this: ;) << Well, Thornhill may be a different matter (I'm pretty surprised they're making videos at all, to tell the truth), but in the older video collection most of those songs definitely aren't "Jian" songs (or "Jean" either :).

Really, no offense to anyone, but to me Independence Day has > such radio potential. Wasn't Splatter2 slated for the next single? Or > was that just a rumour? > It was a single in the US. I have a copy of the radio promo single at home. But videos aren't for the US. There is little to no hope of getting any video air time from US music stations. Videos are for Canada and for getting Much and it's breathren to play them. Maybe they felt that Sad Girl was the right song to hit that market. Or maybe when they sat down to talk about it, 75% of the band was apathetic about it and 25% of the band wanted to do a video for Sad Girl. From a very US-centric ideal, I don't understand why they do videos at all.
