Fruvous is scheduled to play from 6:15-7:05 (not Fruvous time! They run relatively on schedule there...), and they'll be in the XPN Member's Booth for their Meet & Greet thingy from 7:30-8:00. Since it's such a big event I'm not positivie that Fruvous will be allowed to do their usual hang-out-and-chat-and-sign-things-after-the-show gig (except for XPN members, who can get into the booth), but I could be wrong...just wanted to warn people that it may not be the usual procedure! In case I don't meet up with you all before/during the set, I'll be at the Member's Booth (working in the beverage area, whatever that actually means) from 7-8, so stop by and say hello!

They are saying that there will be 10-15,000 people there today. (As a suggestion, take SEPTA, it's free. Yesterday they ran out of parking on Columbus Blvd. at about 3.) >In case I don't meet up with you all before/during the set, I'll be at the >Member's Booth (working in the beverage area, whatever that actually means) >from 7-8, so stop by and say hello!

It's a neat interview, they play a few songs (MBLABOA, Horseshoes) and talk about Fruheads and the Frumiles card. Heh...sometimes my parents kick ass. :) Kymba - -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "The world is no longer a romantic place.

A friend of mine asked me this question and as I thought about it I realized that it was a pretty darn good question. Who writes the songs? I don't know if it says so on the cds, but I can't find then right now anyway. Do they all write them? or just one of the guys?
