I never thought I would be so in love with a song by a band that was so incredibly awesome to even consider playing a "request", no less actually play it at a show!!! (Gee, did that sentence make any sense at all??) For anyone that was at the show, I was the girl next to Adam bawling my eyes out, although I'm honestly not sure if I was crying because they played my favorite song, or because I knew that they were playing it because I had asked Jian if they could (or even that he almost instantly remembered a week and and a half later)!!!!!!! So, I have nothing more to say about the Toad's Place show, review wise. I honestly don't even remember all that much after that. I was still shaking a good 15 minutes later, and on top of that I was amazed that they played one of my other favorite songs that I hadn't heard that often (had to pick one song for each of the guys) So as a personal note, I have to say that this was probably my favorite show so far. (Although being 2 feet from them singing GWS off mic at Pawling was hard to beat!!!!) Thanks to Fruvous for.........well, just being so amazing!!!!

I thought I was the only one who never got the whole fascination with autographs. At least the guys in Fruvous don't charge money for the honor of signing their name like some athletes do. I once encountered famous hockey player Bobby Orr walking out of a hotel as I was walking in. I said hi and shook his hand, and that memeory of the encounter is enough for me, I don't need to have a piece of paper with his signature on it. I know he knows how to write his name. Then again, though I've never gotten or even attempted to get a setlist from the stage after the show, I can see where that would be a cool thing to have. I'll often keep a setlist or write one up after the show and keep it with my ticket stub as a memory of that show. Oh well, some people are obsessed with autographs, I'm obsessed with setlists. Comes from my Deadhead years, I guess.

Well, that's the Toronto version of Northern Ontario. But who knows with them, they think they're practically their own province now. A more national consensus would have it beginning at least as far north as around Sudbury or North Bay.

Nope, they're not sold. A video compilation (up to Get in The Car) used to be part of the Fruhead Card rewards, but that's long gone. Much Music used to play some of the videos once every blue moon, but I'm guessing now it's even rarer than that. They do have the Spotlight on Fruvous, which has 5 videos and interviews from different years in between (AND a bit of the Tall New Buildings video!). They rerun it once in a while. I'm not sure about this, but you can probably obtain a compilation by writing to Fruvous' management. > 2. If so, how come? Why don't they sell their videos?

The IRS considers that you are getting something of value for your "contribution," and therefore the value of that item is not tax deductible. Even if you pay over what the auctioned item is valued at, the IRS has determined that the value of an auctioned item is whatever someone is willing to pay for it at the auction.
