(So I can attend and all > that! :) From what I've heard, it is the same weekend as last year, centered around the Fruvous and Friends for Choice show again, in Toronto. There's gonna be enough planned by the time the Fall Quill goes out so that non-internet accessed people have a better chance of planning ahead too. So, look for more definitely information on FDC and in your mailbox or just ask Jian at a show. Esepcially useful as a conversation starter for all you people too scared to talk to him *grin* - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 12 Aug 1998 15:49:52 GMT From: norachica@aol.com (NoraChica) Subject: Re: Halloween Lodging > it would be nice if someone in the area might be able to spare >: some floor space I go to school in Boston, but since my school messed up the rooming situtaion I'm not sure who my roommate will be.... and how cool she would be about guests.... but if someone drives up and could give me rides to the shows, they are welcome as far as I'm concerned to crash on my floor...

Please don't say things like that. It is probably just a breakdown in, communication, but to a tape trader, pay for all the charges sounds pretty bad. It sounds like you are willing to pay for a recording of a live show and you shouldn't be willing to do that. We shouldn't profit from Fruvous allowing us to tape their shows. When you want to get started trading tapes, offer blank and postage. What this means is that you'll send someone a blank tape and the postage necessary to send that blank tape back to you. Then the person on the other end will put the show on the tape you sent and use the postage you sent to get the tape back to you. No profit. Some people want to be compensated for the time it took them to spin the tape, but I wouldn't recommend trading with those people. There are plenty of people who will tape for you without asking for anything in return. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1998 16:27:44 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: Dan Bern/Jian Ghomeshi connection....

When did you go? I went about. . .mmm. . .I dunno, 8 years ago? Seven, because it was 1991 and I remember the t-shirts already out for the '96 Olympics, remember laughing about them. Anyway, when I was there, they categorically denied any connection between Coca-Cola and cocaine, said it's all urban myth.

I'm glad you own all the albums, and I'm glad you love Fruvous enough to want to own tapes of the concerts, Josh. I'll be glad to make copies for you. Email me and we'll work it out. But I'll take this as a chance, once again, to clamber up on my little soapbox here. Please, guys, don't think of the tapes as "bootlegs" or "underground." Fruvous are generous in letting us tape fairly freely, including off the soundboard, and I think it kind of demeans that to act as if we're smuggling something under their noses--especially on a newsgroup which they read.

Having followed this thread, I do think you made a hasty conclusion about the customs officials on the U.S. side. The fact that you/your friend were detained more than once, can it have something to do with your crossing the border in the same place every time? I crossed the border in two or three different places (and in two different settings, plane and car), both while an immigrant with a Green Card and a citizen with a Citizenship Certificate. They fumbled around with my Green Card once, enough time to annoy me, but they gave me no other impression than just trying to be thorough. I have been discriminated against on the basis of being an immigrant (and a "Commie" immigrant, at that) more than once; I see discrimination every day and am by no means blind to it. Those guys weren't discriminating. This isn't to say that the people at the border are ALL conscientious, non-discriminating folk, but I do not think it is a "likely conclusion" that all/most of them are racists, nor is "you must be white" a good blanket explanation for someone's lack of trouble crossing the Canadian/U.S. border. - -- Vika [VEE-kah] Patron Saint of Caffeine dacilen@bu.edu "Every little child learns, if you can't see dreams your eyes are blind." -MF ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #282 ********************************************
