My parents and brother came up from Syracuse in the morning to pick me and Amy (my Jian-loving girlfriend) up from school to goto Ottawa. Got in town by 1pm with *NO* idea where Brittannia Park was. Stopping in front of a church to ask a limo driver for directions (b/c limo drivers now their way around town), we found out we're on the opposite side of the city. All told, we made it the the festival with minutes to spare. This concert was my first out of New York, 8 others being in the state. Früvous came on with excitement but no sound. :( The mics didn't seem to be loud, and I noticed Jian's snare didn't come over the speakers either. But sitting 20 feet from the stage, I was able to hear the snare itself creating a very interesting sound. MBLABOA was the opener, with much enthusiasm from the Früguys, but less from the audience. MUCH chatter followed, as did Horseshoes, and fun renditions of Boss and Kid's Song. Sad girl sound like it is really coming along in nicely for a studio cd next year (?!?). The next two songs were firsts for me, Pisco Bandito (very Frü-like) and Gord's Gold. Gord wasn't expected that day, as Mike told me after the show, he just started and had fun. Jian was giving him a surprised look and then joined in for the end of the song. It was a fun concert, but the environment wasn't quite right I think. Before the workshop, Amy and my brother bought The b Album and had them signed. I chatted for a brief bit with each of them, asking Jian for input on the GE&H debate. He said we've gone kinda crazy with it (that's me putting words in his mouth). Also, he and Mike mentioned they were going for a no-repeat weekend, which is cool... The workshop was very fun. Seated inside a canopy with Früvous and 3 other great musical acts, we were treated to a look into politics in personal lives. Früvous played Marion Früvous (another first for me), which is the most fun, playful and lively piece of work I've seen. Apparently it's from their days on the streets, is that right? As a finale, we were treated to a powerful Today's the Day we Fight Back. Wow. Amazing. That's all I can say of that one, which received overwhelming applause! The three of us (Amy, my brother and I) left the festival to walk onto the rock pier on the river to see an awesome sight of nature. The sky was blue behind us, dark grey ahead of us, and storming to the right. A hole in the clouds made a perfectly straight beam of light out of the sky. We watched as the storm came from the horizon, across the river, and ran as a chilling rush of wind brought a pounding rain. We had fun that day, and are looking forward to another Früvacation. later, tom. ------------------------------ Date: 31 Aug 1998 04:38:41 GMT From: dalevy@aol.com (DALevy) Subject: Re: Winnipeg show I'll make the same query about Calgary... anyone going or I am going to be on my own in a foreign city?

I have a (recently converted) friend in CA who's been trying to persuade me to visit her soon, and if I'm going to travel 2500 miles, I ought to get a frushow out of it! ;) Although that would put a damper on NoHo, but I was going to be hard pressed to make it there anyway, unless I could find a ride. Maybe I could convince her to visit MA... still I pray to God this song will end happily, Lace <><><> nthrbns * netpluscom.com <><><> <> ICQ 218859 <> <><><> http://i.am/papillonline <><><> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 12:05:14 GMT From: fe@avon.net.au (Fe Waters) Subject: Re: WOWZA! >chad > ...who is off to Australia and New Zealand in March. :) Where in Australia?

Hey, you won't hear *me* complain! If you asked me (and *I* might get slammed for that one), Murray should quit the band and become a solo country artist. There. I said it.
