I don't know; what's your definition of normal dancing? hehe Seriously, the answer is a bigtime YES. I'm sure we'd all dance more if we had more room - things can get quite sardine-can-esque on the dance floor. - --Adam adam.hartfield@dev.artioslink.com one of my best life-decisions was deciding NOT to sit in the balcony at my first Fruvous show but rather to go down to the dance floor and have fun ------------------------------ Date: 7 Aug 1998 12:29:53 GMT From: Revell Sara E <4ser4@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: Re: Moxy in Toronto Jenner wrote: : I know its on yongue street but... I'm not from toronto and I have NO idea : what Mel Lastman's square is. Since I don't know exactly where you are travellling from, I'll give the most general directions I ca: BY SUBWAY: take the Yonge Street line to "North York Centre" (the stop between Sheppard and Finch depending on your direction). There should be signs to follow directly to the Square - if not you should be able to find it once you get to the street - it's right there (on the South-West side of the street). I recommend the subway for those who can - it takes you right there, and there's no parking hassles. BY CAR: I'll start from Yonge & 401 as a base point (then it makes sense for 3 directions at least!). From this point, travel north on Yonge St. The next MAJOR street is Sheppard. At the next set of lights (or possibly one more), you will see the new theatre on the West side (I can't remember the name of it, but it's huge - you'll see it!). Okay, once you see that, Mel Lastman Square is on the next block, on the West side. For parking, turn left at the lights after the Square and turn left again at the next street. There is a parking lot on your right hand side (or at least there used to be, I haven't been there for a while). At any rate, there should be *some* street parking around there! :) Sorry that I don't know street names - you live somewhere all your life and you never notice these types of things!

Roberts) Subject: Re: Itinerary Update! >Wed Nov 4 Cleveland, OH Case Western Reserve University Well, as part of the group that conned the University Programming Board into getting Fruvous to play at Case I'd like to invite everyone out to Cleveland to see the show. Most shows on campus are free but I don't know if this one will be. The main UPB complaint was that Fruvous was asking a bit more than the standard noname bands that they usually have play on campus. I don't know if this is their so called 'major' concert or not for the semester in which case it'd prolly be like $5 for tickets. I can prolly get some more info once school starts. After this weekend's large amounts of driving to see the Toronto weekend shows walking the 50 feet from my dorm to where they play will seem very very nice.

Someone who was at the show in question might be able to : tell what exactly the content was. You're not mistaken, m'dear. As Chris (who's walking around me in his room right now) points out (this man's memory for dates is dumbfounding), the show was May 23, 1997, in Port Dover, ON. I wasn't there, but I have heard the tape. The boys opened for themselves, each coming out and doing a song, and before Jian did his song, he told people how he's usually a vegetarian, but that evening they had gone to a restaurant that specialized in perch, for dinner. So he got the perch dinner, which came with, if I'm not mistaken, 7 oz. of perch... and discovered that each fish weighed only one ounce. So he got seven perch. And wrote a song about it: Who the hell is eating all the perch? Don't they know it goes against good wishes? If I find that... bastard person... in my search, I'll kill them, cuz I've got a new predilection for the fishes. Chris sez he has that on FDC.

I agree, it was not a kilt. I think it might have just been a long flannel shirt wrapped around his waist. The group of folks I was with first noticed this guy during the opening act, and he was doing this fantastic free form dance with his stick. We started calling him Stick Man, and later, once his shirt was off, (that is, the shirt he was wearing on his torso, not the thing that might have been a shirt wrapped around his waist) over on the far side of the audience (very, very Stage Dave, as it were), he met up with another guy, a bit shorter, with the same wild hair and beard (but blond) and no shirt. He even handed his stick to this new guy. We figured the new guy for some sort of sidekick, and he then got the moniker "Stick Lad". We were really hoping that Stick Man and Stick Lad would be noticed by Fruvous, and at least Stick Man was, but only briefly, as he bowed down to Jian early in the show. Then Sick Man was escorted away, and we didn't see him dancing any more that night. What a shame. I hope to see Stick Man and Stick Lad at other shows. Have they been to other Upper Marion shows before? Are they a regular fixture? It might help entice me to go see another show there.
