Harriman) Subject: Live Tapes (aka Bootlegs) Fru-persons - While this is not my first posting to this fine newsgroup, I think I should introduce myself since I am usually a lurker. My name is Josh, and I am a computer science major at Tufts University. I was introduced to Fruvous last year by one of my friends, and have been hooked ever since. I have made it to four shows - 3/7/98 at the Somerville Theatre, 5/3/98 in Harvard Square, 6/5/98 at Valentine's (Albany, NY), and 7/31/98 in Quincy Market. I enjoy collecting live tapes of bands, so, naturally, I started a Fruvous collection. (Special thanks goes out to Jason Reiser who started me off with a B&P) At this point, it is rather small, so I would love to trade with people to expand it and spread around the shows that I have. Here is my list: 5/17/98 - MIT, Cambridge, MA (also has World Cafe Interview 4/1/97) 3/8/98 - Iron Horse, Northampton (on CD!) 6/5/98 - Valentine's (I also have other bands - my full listing is at http://www.tufts.edu/~jharrima/jih98/tapes.html) If anyone would like to trade, please email me at the address below (the one I post with is for the spammers). I am especially looking for early shows or the ones I have attended, but would love any show I don't have. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming, - --Josh. email: jharrima [at] emerald [dot] tufts [dot] edu (P.S. - I will be at the Paradise show on the 29th and at the Iron Horse on the 30th, so I hope to meet some of you there!) ------------------------------ Date: 6 Oct 1998 04:07:08 GMT From: paul@davincisnotebook.com (Paul Sabourin) Subject: Re: A Capella On Mon, 05 Oct 1998 13:28:27 GMT, nafio@my-dejanews.com said: >The Heebee-jeebees, the group we're talking about, is a Calgary-based >quartet who sing originals and covers from a unique (twisted) perspective. >Incidentally, THEY admire - and were proud to lose Best Humorous Song to - >Da Vinci's Notebook.

Thanks a million, Well, I've been out of the loop a bit here, so I don't know whether anyone's been checking out hotels to hold the actual con in (Zard?...), but as far as a hostel goes, it would have to be large enough *and* empty, as hostels usually don't take reservations (especially if they're large). But another point to remember is that a hotel is MUCH more likely to give us a convention room if [most of] the convention-goers actually stay in the hotel. It's also a courtesy thing, they don't really like it when dozens of people who *aren't* staying there suddenly descend upon them. (This might not be as big a problem as other conventions I've been to, that have numbered a few *thousand* convention-goers).
