Ah, Arkansas, where you can watch Porn on a big screen TV from the parking lot of your motel (and make your own soundtrack). Where the locals card twice and the Blues Band quits at 1am. Watching people slam dancing to Fruvous was interesting. Once again, Chad elects not to review a show to save ChrisO getting email about it. _I_ didn't write that Asheville review *grin* - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 08:41:00 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Yet another 'newbie' Jordan I.

Now, I don't think I need glasses, or if I do, it isn't that drastic so I'm not worrying about it. And if/when I do need glasses, I have the IBM vision plan backing me up this time! - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 08:37:28 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: this crazy other band...

Who are these guys who call themselves the Nields?? I've never What's a Nields? The Nields are a great group from NorthHampton. I enjoy them lots, great lyrics and good music. Really nice groovin' basslines at points. Good harmonies.

I want a "Chad's Mom" too! Well, sir, you are one of the many people who already have a Chad's Mom! Ironically enough, any woman theoretically can become a Chad's Mom and the decision to become a Chad's Mom is dependent on her (and anyone else involved in the decision of Child naming). Be reminded that not everyone would work best as a Chad's Mom. Sometimes is may be beneficial to be a Jason's Mom (or the ever popular Chris's Mom). Note that even if you attempt to set into your role, there may be changes later. For example, Elizabeth's Mom could turn into Zard's Mom. This transition may not be easy and the Mom may resist the change and still attempt to be an Elizabeth's Mom. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 31 Aug 1998 14:03:53 GMT From: shilfiell@aol.com (Shilfiell) Subject: Multi-generational review, Ottawa Right now I'm about to drop over and my eyes are glowing red like Jodie's in "The Amityville Horror," but I just had to write about this weekend! I loved Fiona's review and will leave out much of what she's already covered, but hopefully I can add a morsel or two to the review soup.... I'll dispense with narrative, and just toss out a few impressions. We had our first three-generation Frushow on Saturday when my mother left the casino long enough to join us, and guess what? She loved 'em! I had been complaining about the sound on the Nortel stage (that damn BUZZ, and the total inability to hear Mike, both bothered me a lot) but Mom said that she never realized how bad they sounded until she heard how GREAT they sounded in the workshop. She talked to the guys afterwards and was very impressed by not only their musical ability but their attentiveness to their fans. A new convert! Kristaffer and I lugged what seemed like ninety pounds of sour candy for the guys to Saturday's performances ("Are you CRAZY???" was one comment we got. The answer is, of course, yes.). After a bit of begging at the merch tent, we were persuaded to surrender one of the two buckets to Jian instead of giving them both to Murray for safekeeping...and this was probably a mistake. When we walked back to the main grounds from the Green Stage, we spotted Jian standing by the path cheerfully devouring his allotment. OK, so he was sharing, but he seemed to be in a major state of sugar bliss. Does anyone know if that bucket actually made it out of the parking lot that day? :D Fiona mentioned the towel that served as Dave's hat for Marion: that was Clarice's, not mine. Kristaffer was sitting on our little blanket that would have made a great hat had we thought of it: it was an old baby blanket with little giraffes and cute little puffy clouds. Another opportunity missed...but the towel was better than the Harbourfront Shorts, in any case. :D The jam was incredible: although I had hoped to hear Blow Wind Blow at some point in the weekend, hearing That's Any Good and Poor Napolean certainly made up for any disappointment. I've been obsessed with Poor Napolean since hearing it on that old RealAudio performance linked on FDC, and still don't have a decent tape of a performance...anyone have one? Please? You can have the kid as trade, and I'll throw in a bonus pair of oven mitts. It's depressing enough that no one taped the jam. Vance Gilbert was a ton of fun, despite leaving Mike without an instrument for a significant portion of the show. Dave's lyrics might have been off, but I've never been more impressed with his skill on the guitar. I was almost sorry when he had mercy on Mike and handed it over, though I was glad to see Mike have a chance at it....he looked kinda lost for a while! Kristaffer and I got a huge laugh out of the Fred Eaglesmith reference, since we insisted on staying for Fred's performance Friday night and almost missed the jam because of it. I'd probably be a Fredhead if I could afford an Airstream trailer. After the jam, I had a great chat with Miche of the Unceded Band at the bar (where Kristaffer managed to loiter unobtrusively and not get kicked out). Miche, the bass player, is a very nice person and quite an expert on the nutritional value of Guinness...a great quality in a bar conversation! We then caught a ride back to downtown with Dante, bless his heart, who was kind enough to offer us a ride even though my one hour of sleep had left me about as coherent as a small piece of smoked sea eel. Kristaffer has become quite a Vance Gilbert fan. I kept having to pull him away from Vance workshops to get him to the Fruvous shows on time on Saturday, and he was sure to get his autograph on the program. I settled for having the guys sign my shiny new Lo-Chair ("Hours of Comfort!" quoth Murray) which has now become my Official Outdoor Fruvous Performance Recliner and will travel with me everywhere along with the Official Big Pink MediaPlay sign. It was wonderful seeing so many people...once again, I was severely short on sleep, so I ended up introducing my mother to folks like "This is Clarice, and this is someone else, and I forgot that one's name." I think she was fairly amazed to see me actually speaking to people, anyway...what a good influence you all are! By this time next year I hope to have put my reserve in the past and be working on my next goal, actual self-esteem. :D It looks like we'll miss the entire West Coast tour, but we're looking forward to Northhampton. Maybe I can persuade my mom to come along again...she liked them THAT much. Maybe it's because Jian shared his candy with her. :D - -kimberly - -speaking for Kris, Kris's Mom, and Kris's Mom's Mom ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 15:02:25 GMT From: hprodrig@nospam.capitalnet.com (Hugo Rodrigues) Subject: Re: Songs never heard wish list In article , fe@avon.net.au (Fe Waters) wrote: >>>Which >>>Fruvous songs (up to 5) have you >>>always wanted to hear live but never >>>have?
