Funny, I was named for a woman named Laika, so I guess I've been immortalized twice now by Moxy, ha ha ha (with the name Lisa, I'm sure you can all guess how my husband now refers to me around the house). So ... here's my current question -- my sister suggested it was too bad I'd already named my own dog (Cazzie), because Moxy would be a great name for a dog (especially for mine who is truly full of it). Who out there has a pet with an MF-related name? Or, for that matter, license plate (my current one is RUBRSOL but said car has 150,000 miles and most vans here in Maryland have plates starting with M, so thought when I give in and go soccer-mom (or in my case drummer-girl mom) with the Honda Odyssey, MXYFRVS would be cool.

Hey, if I remember correctly, at the Ramshead show there was a girl sitting at cricket's table who was from England. If I'm right, Fruheads have already gone transatlantic. Woohoo!

Well, he was telling me about this one couple from Buffalo that was *trying* to put up their tent and screenroom...he volunteered assistance, and they got the tent & screenroom set up. Dad invited them to his campfire, and they showed up. They were sitting around the fire, chatting, and they were talking about musical taste. Dad noted that he like a wide variety, but listened to mostly classic rock, though he listened to his son's [that's me :) ] alternative music. My dad told them he had just gone to see one of his son's favourite bands, Moxy Fruvous, in concert. At the same time, the coulple said "MOXY FRUVOUS!?!?!" They were fans as well...my dad got a kick out of it. So remember...the Frufans are out there! Also, their names were Russ & Pat (from Buffalo)...anyone know them? I'm not sure if they're just fans, or if they're Fruheads, but would like to contact them :) - --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.

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.

They also asked me what I was planning on doing while in Toronto, and I found it expedient to mention that I was going to catch some hockey games at MLG :) Crossing BACK into the US is another story.

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.
