You get honorable mention, though. :) I think Andy meant for this show(/weekend), not in all Fru-history :-), anyways, it isn't a contest (or maybe it is, bragging rights?). Personally, I'd prefer it if they came here, but until that happens I guess I'll just have to hope that I save up enough frequent flier miles from all my other trips.

At least at the new Birchmere. No dancing and bad service. Those are the two bad things I remember about the show I saw at the Birchmere. But the good stuff far outweighed all that (Mmmmm...

I'm asking out of curiousity; I stay in the > no-passing zone, but some of the songs are too good to sit still. Well, I've only heard of one case of pass-the-dude at a Fruvous show. I think that was in Rochester, but I'm not sure. Most of the time, there is "dancing". I mean, not really dancing like swing dancing and waltzing, but the crowd is not just sitting there staring at the Canadians. Fruvous encourages audience participation and draws the audience in. That's why the shows are so great. - Chad ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #250 ********************************************
