Most of it was junk, but I discovered one thing I think is pertinent: around when I first came here, the "clique" thread got started & I told my story of being a fruhead but only knowing other fruheads from their blurbs on FDC, & thus not being able to approach anyone at concerts. The message in my mailbox dated back from that post & asked how we could get frufans who only have FDC to know they, too, can walk up to total strangers at a Moxy show & be in the loop. My idea is that there could be a few sentences added to the frufans page introductory paragraph (like after & the fans have a great relationship with each other) about how these creatures are very friendly & approachable & like to meet new people, just go over & introduce yourself why dontcha... Yes/No? Other ideas?? thank you.

The show was great by the way! And it was so nice to meet some of y'all (and to see some of you again!). Smiles, Wendy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 15:13:19 -0700 From: Mike Yank Subject: Columbia 6/26 Show review Hi everyone! This is my first post to the group, but I've been lurking for monthes. Anyway, here is my portrait of the Columbia, Maryland show last Friday : After we both got off work at about 3pm, my friend Andy and I set off for the three hour trek from Charlottesville, VA to Columbia. When we arrived at the Festival of the Arts, we seated ourselves up front and center and after a delayed soundcheck (the delay due to lightning) we were treated to Eddie from Ohio, who played a very solid set. The guy who introduced them assured the crowd that "Maxy Fruvous" would be playing after Eddie, and this blunder found itself in the dialogue at several points, like when the bass player Mike mentioned "Moxy Pads." Anyway, it was my first Fruvous show, so I used to opportunity to escape the outragous prices of imports and picked up the "b" album and Wood before the performance, completing my collection :) Here's the setlist as it appears on my "official" copy : I UNDERST. B.J. JOCKEY HORSESHOES BOSS SPIDEY RUSH MINNIE RIVER CAR KIDS MESSAGE MICH SAUCE KING GREEN POTION - ------ AUTH. PSYCHO * - ------ DRINKING S * *Not played :( They opened up with the brief intro "It's great you came to this freebee concert / cuz spending money is an awful risk / Some came to drink beer and some came to flirt / But all we want is that you buy our brand new disc." BJ was awesome, as was the other half of the accordion double-punch, "Jockey Full of Bourbon." They then went on to talk about how Columbia was a planned community and the model of the community of the future, which they had read at some booth at the fair. I *loved* Horseshoes! During some dialogue some guy ran by in front of the stage, and Jian mocked him and the way that people crossing in front of crowds sort of crouch down even though they know everyone can see them :) At the end of "I Love My Boss", a cotton candy vendor ran in front of the stage and anncounced what he was selling, interrupting the song and forcing them to pick it up from the key change. Murray assured the guy that they were "ok for cotton candy". :) "Spiderman" was pretty cool; there wasn't much to climb on, but Mike ran through the crowd, announced that the cotton candy contained the shredded papers of Ollie North, and that the evidence was located somewhere in the crowd and that we needed to find it. He then came up right in front of _me_ and knocked me from my sitting position to the ground, which was pretty frightening but also really cool! He opened the cooler of one of the families behind us and stole some poor guy's can of Coke, announcing that Spiderman was brought to you by Coca-Cola :) "The Greatest Man in America" went well, and then they put on their bowlers for Grandpa Fruvous' rendition of "Minnie the Moocher." --> "Columbia, Maryland is a town that has got lots / designed by computers and constructed by robots / Before the show they made you think it was raining / and those ducks on the lake are CIA agents in training." :) Witnessing the harmonies for "River Valley" in person was amazing. Jian particularly was really getting into the following "Get in the Car." During the intro for "The Kids' Song", Jian referred to Mike and Dave as "Vic" and "Tellie" :) "Is there something you like?" "Barney!" "Is there something you hate?" "Barney!". "I Gotta Get a Message to You" was ok. They started introducing the next song by saying that it started off their new live album, and also their studio album "You Will Go to the Moon", and Murray said that it would start every album from now on :) Then then went on to improv a song about Olestra, which was really entertaining! Mike blew one of the rhymes however and screamed out "Ahhhh!" instead. The sound guy was having some trouble with Mike's little keyboard on "Michigan Militia", but in all other respects it went great! As Dave held onto his banjo, "Johnny Saucep'n" followed. "The only guy who lasts longer than Cal Ripkin" and "one of the final cuts from Booty Call", "The King of Spain" was awesome! They then broke into "Green Eggs and Ham" which caught me by suprise, with all the running around on stage, Mike "spinning on his ass", and stuff. The "Love Potion #9 Medley" was really cool, containing snips of "Stayin' Alive", "Who Will Save Your Soul", and such. In the encore "Authors", Murray hit the low "E" at the "over when I finish my book", different than that on "Live Noise" where he doesn't. Mike as Lou Reed was introduced for their final song, a cover of "Dancing Queen" :) That guy who introduced them and Eddie from Ohio then led us all in singing "Happy Birthday" for Murray. What an awesome show! I don't know if I've ever had so much fun at any concert I've been to, and I've been to 5 TMBG concerts! :) It's a close call. "Hi" to anyone reading this who saw me or with whom I spoke; I was wearing a TMBG t-shirt and was in the center front. I taped the concert and it came out very well, B+ or A- I'd say. If anyone would like to trade for a copy, please let me know; I would really like to expand my Fruvous bootleg collection from its present state of consisting of one show. If you don't have any boots, that's ok, we could work out something else. Great show!
