HO HO HO!!! >The airport is supposed to be about 30 miles from Northampton. In Colleen's words.... MUHAHAHAHAH Not even close. About 45 miles from door to door, maybe more. Also...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep in mind it is going to take you a long time to park and....on the Friday night there is also a show at the brand new reopened Calvin Theater (capacity 1300) and parking is gonna be very hard. Even before this theater reopened, parking was already at dastardly low levels. So get there early if you can. The show at the Calvin? Judas Priest. I am honestly very pissed they are the same night and was hoping for a 10:00 Fruvous show so I could go to both. Maybe I can get Fruvous to do Living After Midnight or Exciter or Breaking the Law or Painkiller . . . what do you think? But really - park when you can and be prepared for a nice little walk to the Horse. Gordon gorbitron@aol.com is also known as The Video Hunter.

Okay, so it needs a dumbek. Anyway, Folk Survivors does NOT take Visa, just checks ($16.00 per tickie, plus $3 per order if you want them to come certified mail, otherwise SASE.) You apparently have the phone # to call, which will reserve your ticket for you until your funds arrive. The address to send check (and SASE) is: "Folk Survivors" 2228 Grubb Road Wilmington DE 19810. The bright side of this is, I got mine in 2 days.

Ok, so I know it's now THURSDAY and I'm a bit late posting my reviews for the shows last weekend, but hey hey what can I say, I'm still coming off that rocky mountain moxy high....... October 2, 1998 Swallow Hill Music Hall Denver, CO, USA Well, let my very first Fruvous weekend officially begin!!! YEEEEE-HAAAAA!!!!! I must say that this will go down in history as one of the absolute LONGEST days in my life........ I was so antsy all day I couldn't sit still, thought 8:30 would NEVER arrive!! Got to Swallow Hill around 7:15, 30 minutes prior to the opening of the doors. Cool venue. Hung out with fellow Frufans in the lobby, checked out the merch table, and just generally had a good time absorbing the atmosphere. Finally after what seemed like 3 or 4 HOURS, doors opened!!!!! We tried to get in as soon as the doors opened, but people were just pouring in....... However, much to my (very pleased) dismay, the first folks in were grabbing chair in the middle of the room. HELLO - caller are you there???? What's their prob?? So we hauled heiney to the first two chairs we saw in the front row. Me, I desperately wanted to be stage right, for no other reason than that's where Murray & Jian spend most of their time (are there two better looking guys anywhere in this universe?!?!?) But, we settled for the other side, but sort of toward the middle. After yet another eternity, the Fruguys finally took the stage (well, first they had an introduction, but hey hey - who's paying attention to that?!?!?!?) Went into an a cappella rendition of "Message" that absolutely sent chills down my spine. What a start to the show!! I won't rehash the setlist, partly 'cause I don't remember it all, and partly 'cause I know Jordan has already posted it. My faves - "Boss" and "Spidey" 'cause of the interaction with the audience. Very cool, even though their jaunts off the stage were farther from my seat than when they were on stage. I loved the intimacy that allowed for off-mic singing...... :-) My partner in crime, little sister Becky, was beyond thrilled when the band broke into "Michy". Needless to say, her absolute fave song!!!!! And, yes indeed, it ROCKED!!!!! We loved "King" of course, then I almost flipped when they broke into "GEH". AWESOME!!!!! I would be remiss if I did not mention the new songs. "Hold", as it seems everyone agrees, is a very powerful, very beautiful song. I enjoyed "Sad Girl", but I think my fave new song - "Pisco". Great beat, witty, and hey - Murray on lead vocals, need I say more? Finally, the encore......... an a cappella "Gulf War Song". Yes, chills again, and a song that the audience was buzzing about long after the moxy set was over....... So anyway, the downer of the night was when the set was over...... We went outside, ran into Dave, who was nice enough to chat with fans even tho he had just come out for a smoke. Went back into the lobby where we see Jian talking to a HORDE of girls.....hi Jordan!! :-) We ever so patiently waited our turn, and ended up talking to Jian for a couple minutes. He signed some stuff and was just basically very very sweet. I was bummed that Murray and Mike (well, especially Murray) didn't make an appearance, at least before we left. To summarize an already out-of -hand post here, Becky & I had an absolute blast. Found Dave & Jian both extremely friendly, and the show itself was unbelievable. Went home to get some rest for the drive to C-dale the next day....... :-) ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #10 *******************************************
