I'm fairly sure the Customs agent at the Toronto airport was kidding, but s/he wanted to know why I was visiting at Christmas without bringing gifts. when i said i'd buy them in toronto, it was OK.

Fruvous played here in March, twice in May, and in July (aside from playing nearby in Amherst, Northampton, Great Barrington, Portland, Bowdoin, yadda yadda) and promise to be back in October or November. They also seem to be playing the Iron Horse, 100 miles away, 3 or 4 times a year now. That's a good enough reason to move to Boston, as far as I'm concerned. *grin* No, but really, Boston ROCKS. I adore it. I'm totally totally psyched, stoked, thrilled to the gills, and otherwise infatuated with Boston. (And my 6-month anniversary of residence comes up in 5 days.) The coolest music scene you could ask for, people like Vika nearby to snuggle (okay, so I'm biased), lots of brilliant geeks wandering around, lots of history and heritage and multi-culture, simplicity in urban planning & street design. . .er. Well, okay, nothing's perfect. cee, who would invite you all to move to Boston except then who would I crash with when I roadtrip elsewhere? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Aug 1998 20:29:37 GMT From: dacilen@bu.edu (Vika Zafrin) Subject: Re: Frustock aka KoP show review (really long) On 5 Aug 1998 19:24:45 GMT, "amy" wrote: >One question from a relatively new fru (nufru?) -- I was listening to >"Laika" last night, and they definitely did not play it on Sunday at KofP >-- so what _is_ that song about Rush Limbaugh? and have they recorded it? >And what does "Laika" mean?

Unfortunately, my compatriots were silly (I'd use a stronger word here, but I'm feeling patriotic) and, as the song says, "left her there": they put her in a satellite and left her there, saying it was too expensive (among other things) to go retrieve it. This was in the late 50s (or was it 1960?

Perhaps we're just curious about people whose outwardly visible self confidence in their own sexuality is more obvious than their sexual preference. It's certainly more interesting than the labels we throw around so casually. << funny you mention this... i'm on the laura love email discussion list (i didn't even find out she had moxy connections till recently, that's so cool:) ah, all the music i dig is connected..) and discussion *finally* picked up, but it was due to someone asking if she's a lesbian (the thought never even entered my mind..). apparantly she is (this i obviously didn't know either).. also as someone else mentioned - the same question was posed on the barenaked ladies newsgroup.. i don't know, maybe it's.... something in the air. and it is of course none of our buisness unless they make it so. but it can really change how you perceive a song. one of laura's songs, i interpreted as an interracial couple, when it turns out it was about 2 women. *shrug* i could really care less. and hey, if i had a shirt that said "i dig your *girlfriend*" i'd wear it in a second.:) . . . . . . . *sarah linnellgirl@tmbg.org http://lava.home.ml.org "I'm pro-nonsense..." ~ m. doughty ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 13:15:12 GMT From: "Hartfield Adam (Lud)" Subject: RE: I like to go out dancing... > But I was curious: do people dance at Fruvous shows normally? I don't know; what's your definition of normal dancing? hehe Seriously, the answer is a bigtime YES.

Anyone who was at the KofP show will remember the way Jian opened "Fly"-it had been requested by a guy whose long-time girlfriend and he would be making this thier last night. I was the girlfriend, and after hearing that I cried for a while, then refused to talk to my boyfirend....refused, that is, until I got to Jian's part of the autograph table. I told him who I was and what I was doing, and basically, he made me drag the guy over, and told us that "Fly" is a love song, meaing that whatever happens, happens. He made me realize that we have to communicate, no matter what. All of the guys were great abou this, and I just wanted to share this to let you know that moxy is more thamn just music on a CD or a great concert. They may not think their a good date band, but for two people whose song is "My Baby Loves A bunch of Authors", they mean a great deal.
