I'm sorry I didn't catch this before the Bowery Ballroom show, so I didn't meet you :-( But hopefully, I'll catch you at another show this summer. Mary, whose younger brother told the "Inside Edition" intereviewer at our house today that he "listens to a lot of Moxy Fruvous in his spare time" just to amuse me.

All I can make out at the beginning of _It's Too Cold_ is something about eating shit. Go figure.

I was wondering if anyone out there can help me find Fruvous bootlegs. I ran across an old trading tree, but it's dead by now. Unfortunately I have nothing to trade (at least, I have no Fruboots to trade; email me (bruce_a@hotmail.com) for a short list of what I DO have) but will be happy to send or pay for tapes and postage. Thanks very much!

In fact, my friend was shot a dirty look by one of the waitresses when she told her that, "The bartender downstairs isn't charging for water". Hrmph!

The Ramshead sound system is the one from the old Birchmere, and it is good!. :-) Looks like a bunch of us are going to be in the same general area, zard got our tickets, but I believe we are in the low 100s. Micro brew beer here is good, but as val and dan said the food is a bit pricey. I'd recommend the crab dip. :-) There is a parking lot directly off the exit from route 50, it is in a brick building across the street from the Ramshead. Zard? Can you give better directions than I for this one? See you all there! chris **** "And where would we be without a bass guitarist?"

Allow me to ellucidate . . . or it is vent? The phrase FruLuck is beginning to be appropriately applied to my concert trips. In this instance, I got up at 5 am to be at work at 7 so I could leave at 4 to be on the road at 4:30, picking up two friends (Beth and Jeff) at my apt. With me so far? Good! I would not have been driving, except the designated driver had to put her car in the shop this morning. First, I missed the bus to my car, not a problem the next one was only 5 min later. Traffic was awful so the 10 min bus ride took a half hour putting me at my car at 4:30. Ok, my friends will wait a minute, I'm still within a reasonable schedule. Dashing over to my car I notice that I left the windows open all day during this presumptiously precipitous day. My car was soaked. Apparently I left my lights on as well, as my battery was dead. Since sitting on a damp driver's seat banging my head on the wheel was only going to make my head hurt, I started wandering around the parking lot looking for someone with jumper cables. It is amazing how many people are as unprepared as I am . . . Eventually I snagged a security guard who gave me, - -er- my car, a jump. By the time I hit my apt (tires screeching around the corner) it was 5:30. Left the car running, shouted at my friends not to let anyone steal it, grabbed my bag and dashed out again. Noticing my tension, Jeff asked if I wanted him to drive. When I growled "NO", Beth rolled her eyes in fear and climbed in the back seat. (I should mention that due to one too many accidents, Beth does NOT like riding in small cars, as which my Geo Metro qualifies). On the road. Yay! Oops, forgot my camera, not going back. Oops, forgot gas, we have enough to get there, I'll fill up on the ride home. Oops forgot . . .ah nevermind. Flying down the highway, dodging large trucks, leaping over small . . .no wait . . .wrong scenario. But you get the idea. Just as I was beginning to feel better, a paramedic unit screamed past and traffic slowed to a crawl, then stopped completly as a Medivac Helicopter began to circle. I fumed, I growled, I steamed at the ears. Didn't help. For half an hour we sat. I organized my photos from the last concert. I found my camera - YAY!! I forgot film - ARRRGH! We finally got under way again when the skies opend up and an impenetrable rainstorm, complete with lightning bolts from some malicious god or another threatened our journey and the concert in general. I screamed at the skies that they DID NOT DARE!!!! and that I was going to this concert ANYWAY!!!! 10 minutes later, the rain stopped, and the thunder grumbled at me as it disappered over the now darkening horizon. (Of course, if I had stopped for burgers at Maryland House as Jeff suggested, we would have missed the whole storm. But no, I had to be stubborn.) But grumbling was all the storm had left, no more rain. And as the sun peeked out to say good night, my day got better. We found the LakeFront around 8 pm and EFO was still playing due to the half hour rain delay. Met up with some FruHeads to sit with, hooked up with Dave who took me over to the mall to get film, and had a wonderful concert from there on in. *sigh* Thanks for letting me vent. Hope this never happens to anyone else. (I won't detail the tornado warnings in Louisville. Probably my fault too, but my FruLuck held - the show went on despite power outages in half the city!)

Check out www.fruvous.com (or FDC, as we call it); it's got up-to-the-day accurate info on just about every facet of Fruving you can imagine, including tour dates. Sorry I can't help you with "It's Too Cold"; as far as I know, no one's figured it out, and the guys ain't tellin'. . . ceecee ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #49 *******************************************
