Actually, for me, I'll just be busy *being* in the States. I'll be the Québecoise girl looking around in awe going, "I know it would come to this some day." Heaven help me, I've fallen prey to the FrÜSA ;) But yeah, the tourist-y/cheap thing would be good (especially since I'm sure that Wreck you're supposed to Rent-a- won't be THAT cheap - do keep me posted on that). - -- Marie-Claude "I'm beside myself.

What better way to spend a halloween afternoon than inside a movie theatre watching John Carpenter's "Vampires"? (which opens on Oct 30th). I don't think that my theatre here is having an advance screening the week before (*sob*), so that'd be my earliest opportunity to see it... If it's playing at a Cineplex Odeon, I could get myself plus perhaps up to 5 other people in for free, i anyone's interested. Must see Uncle James kick some Vampire butt! or, we could do some touristy picnicky things ;p your bloody buddy, Mike Wood ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 16:18:59 GMT From: nafio@my-dejanews.com Subject: RE: Frudegreens I gotta admit, for the longest time I thought it was "common" too. *G* Must have something to do with the Canadian accent.. we add "o"'s in everywhere (or so an American friend told me when I explained that an American accent is identifiable by the use of "a" in place of most vowels.

Ah, methinks ye're referring to "Notes and Queries" in The Guardian, No? I love that column. It is such a hoot! Here's my contribution to this insanity: "...maybe something foreign, maybe something PANNED, maybe something formerly banned..."

To set impermanant dye, wash the shirt once with a couple of handfulls of salt added to the the mix. This will help set the dye. And then as Bill said, wash only in cold water. A.J.

Chris, feel free to add this to fdc!) The last fru-show I attended before I moved to San Francisco last year was in Providence, RI. It came at the end of several months of regular fru-tripping and general joy. Naturally, my one request to the band was that they consider adding San Francisco to their itineraries, since I was going to miss seeing them. It took over a year of harrassing them, but last night was well worth the wait! The week was a bit hectic for me... I moved into a new apartment on Friday, and managed to fry my home computer in the process, losing all internet access. So much for my attempts to plan a big pre-show gathering - - to those I never got back in touch with, I apologize! We did manage to pull together a few people for dinner at a nice (if expensive!) vegetarian restaurant. Christa (my twin redhead and best friend, for those who've seen us together at various shows around the country!) and I showed up at about 6:30, after a day of shopping and general silliness around San Francisco (side note: waiting to board the cable car at Ghiradelli Square, we sighted Mike Ford across the way. With the line about 45 minutes long, I just had time to say hi and try to warn him about the truly frightening street musician - who had the ability to turn the intro to a well-known song into a long, rambling, and musically unsound piece - but it let us know that the long awaited show was really happening!) to find Jason, Kathryn, and new converts Jude and Mark waiting for us. We were also joined by everyone's favourite wonder nerd, and Beth from LA (sorry Beth, it really is a title now!). Beth had the marvelous idea of buying a California flag which we all signed for the band... by the time I saw it again at the end of the show, it was well covered! The beverage menu of this restaurant included bizarre herbal conconctions, one of which was labelled as "Love Potion 9". Naturally, we had to buy a little vial of this to deliver at the show... Off to the venue - Slim's is a fairly nice, open club that I think must have been a warehouse at some time... the acoustics weren't great, but the bar moved quickly and I've heard the food was good. An additional $15 would have gotten us dinner tickets and actual assigned tables on the balcony, but I'm glad we skipped this choice as the balcony was pretty far off. (This became something of a joke, with the guys making several references to the rich people or royalty hiding off in the balcony and throwing food scraps to the peasants down below) There was another area with tables in front of this, and then an open area directly in front of the stage. Three guesses where we all headed (after Jason staked out the area in between to set up his mikes)... I'm sure I'm missing people, but Doug Levy did eventually show up, as did the illustrious Nat Gertler. The opening band was local, called something as forgettable as their music. Actually, a group of us chose to hide out downstairs and gossip rather than actually try to sit through the second half of their much too long set... We forced our way back to the front of the stage before the fru-lads came on, though... my ears are still ringing! Slim's has an official capacity of 470, and I know they had sold over 300 tickets by the time fruvous went on - it was fairly crowded, and for a band that hasn't visited the west coast in four years there were an amazing number of people that knew all the words. Not so many people dancing, but I for one had my usual problem standing still! ANd it was an amazing set - almost all of the songs I really wanted to hear, and a few new ones. *grin* I really wish I knew the "official" Pisco dance, though I had a lot of fun making up one of my own! I know Nicole managed to grab a set list, so hopefully she'll post it later, but I know it was a long one! About half the audience put their hands up when asked if they'd ever seen fruvous live before, and I'm sure there are a few new potential fru-heads out there this morning... They started out with a jazzed up version of Sahara that I haven't heard before, which set the tone for the show... apparently I need to track down some recent bootlegs, because skipping several months between shows leads to a very different set-list! "I Will Hold On" may quickly become a new favourite... In no particular order, songs I remember include: BJ, Get in the Car, You Will go to the Moon, Johnny Saucep'n, Michigan Militia, Minnie the Moocher (with *lots* of very silly SF references), Gotta Get a Message to You... Nicole, you had *better* post that set list, I was just too happy to remember details! The first encore started with Love Potion, so Nicole passed the little vial up to the stage - Mike's the only one who saw this, and he didn't have a clue what it was, so we ended up grabbing it back at the end of the show and giving it to Jian for the band, and they finally ended with Drinking Song... overall a wonderful, silly, and very "on" show, and hopefully the reception they got will convince Fruvous they need to book more California dates! (hint, hint...) *sigh* And now I really wish I had more of a travel budget! ____ \ /__ Caitlin Xantha Hazen \/ / caitlin@wayward-volvo.org \/ http://www.wayward-volvo.org/xanthe.html ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #695 ********************************************
