Are any of you going to be there? You're in luck, as I'm rather sure that a relatively large percentage of the Fruheads will be at this show, due to this weekend being the bonus Frumiles weekend. That is, if you collect Frumiles (and if you don't, I suggest you start!), you normally get one stamp for each show you attend (except for in-stores). This weekend, however, if you attend BOTH the August 7 & 9 shows, you'll get one stamp each, plus a bonus stamp (3 shows for the price of 2, and since they're both free shows, it doesn't much matter :) You're invited (along with everyone else) to come hunt me down...er, *find* me at the Aug 7, 8, & 9 shows and say hi. There's a pic of me on the Frufriends page at http://www.fruvous.com/frufans.html (look for Novac, 'cause that's me). I'll be wearing some sort of cartoonish or comic-bookish shirts, most likely. - --Novac "It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its.

I don't think he's surly at all. I've been to a total of 6 Frushows and I've seen Jian out with the fans after every one of them. He also seems to make an effort to be friendly and remember fans as he was able to recall my name AND spell it correctly after 6 shows, which is more than I can say for my relatives after 26 YEARS! What I think is that he makes a special point to come out after shows to interact with the fans, regardless of whether or not he really *feels* like it on any given night. I have to give him credit, so kudos to Jian for being so great about it all. Thank you!

Beasi) Subject: "budgie dog" shirt noticed by Grey Eye Glances! Hi, friends! I was at the Grey Eye Glance in-store in Manchester, CT tonight (great show, 2 hours!) and I was sitting in the front row with my grey Budgie Dog shirt. After a couple of songs, Dwayn (the keyboardist and primary writer), points me out and asks me if I saw them at the Maryland show. I hadn't; actually, I saw them for the first time at the Appel Farm Festival :) Anyway, during the intermission I was talking to them and Jennifer (12 string guitar and vocals) said that she thought the Früvous shows were a lot of fun! (well, duh) Anyway, they put on a magnificent performance and are very nice people, so I strongly recommend them to the FrüCommunity. See you at Summerfolk!

I know a lot of you ammf denizens are going to be spending the weekend in Toronto, but I think at least a few of you are planning to go to the Newport Folk Festival. I just wanted to put in a plug for one of mine and Colleen's favorite artists, Trina Hamlin. She's a singer songwriter with a rock & blues background, who plays the harmonica extremely well and is one of the most passionate singers I've seen. Trina is doing not one, but *two* sets at Newport! She's the first set on the main stage on Sunday, at 11am. After that, she has a set on the second stage, 12 or 12:30 or something like that. She's recently written some new songs we haven't heard yet, and said that her two sets will be different. So if you're going to Newport on Sunday, don't be late! Don't miss her. (keep in mind spending up to an hour in traffic in Newport itself, if you're driving - the entire flow of traffic to the festival is funnelled through a small one way on lane street along the waterfront and some of the main tourist areas) -- Cos (Ofer Inbar) -- cos@leftbank.com cos@cs.brandeis.edu -- WBRS (100.1 FM) -- WBRS@brandeis.edu http://www.wbrs.org/ NBC News: GE's Advertising and Public Relations Agency ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Aug 1998 00:00:03 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: Thank You Fruvous Fans!!!

What a fun, talented band!! *grin grin grin* Told y'all. :) (The story behind this is that Scott, the lead singer of BARK like a dog, was a client of mine back in May; and, as I frequently do, I raved about Fruvous to him. I found out he was in a band, went to see them, loved it, babbled to y'all about it, and am thrilled that the Fruheads & BLAD seem to be taking right to each other!) >I hope we have an opportunity to play with them again soon and see all of >you again.
