Best bet for parking probably is at the University of Maryland -- there are two
well-lit garages open to the public late and within an easy walk of the Vault.
One is on Paca at Baltimore streets across from the Law School (which I know
all too well). The other is underneath the plaza immediatley opposite the
hospital at Greene and Baltimore. The entrance is on a little street just south
of Lombard and Paca. Either way you'll be a block or two from the Vault.

An important note: The Vault is not in the safest location, so I strongly urge
people not to walk alone either to or from the show.

Hope everyone enjoys it. Baltimore is a great city.

Matt James and I...both have first-name last names!!!  That means
(assuming his middle name is first-namey) we two are using up six
perfectly good names!  And the sax player in my band is named...Mike
Scott!  (No, not THAT Mike Scott).   Nine!!!  Nine first names,
ah-ah-ahhhh!!!

<thunder rumbles in background [poster-painted Transylvania scene]>

Ha--someday we will RULE THE WORLD!  Or at least have more first names
among us than you might expect, for whatever that's worth.  We might even
let Mike Ford into our secret little nominal consortium--although the only
Fords that leap to mind are Fairlane and Prefect...

Paul Simon keeps not returning my recruitment calls, strangely enough.
That whole restraining-order business can't be all that serious, though.

Murray Foster-->Foster Grant?  Now THAAAAAT'S a stretch...

Well, I can't speak for the band, but Jian always seems to end shows by
mentioning their "grass roots" orientation, so I for one would be slightly
disappointed if they got all legalistic about posting lyrics in a ng.

And is ANY fruvous tune ever "complete"?  They always seem to be subject to
reworking to some degree--thank the fates!

Subject: "Clearly Canadian"..you love the drink. Now read the news article.

I just read this interesting article in the gusto of yesterday's (Oct.9)
Buffalo News. It's about how Canadian bands have trouble "breaking the
US" beacuse "the US industry doesn't know how to handle Canadian bands
that don't conform to its disturbing flavor-of-the-month philosophy..."
(i.e. Fruvous, the main reason for this post). I felt they made some
valid points and had to share them. Susan Tanner, formerly with Bottom
Line Records, said, "Fruvous is getting where they are now because they
work so hard. They tour constantly. They believe in themselves and their
fans believe in them." Almost equally as noteable, Hank Medress,
co-founder and president of Bottom Line, insisted that it's not a
Canadian thing, "...Radio is a joke, so you have to find alternative
ways to present a band. The best way to present Moxy Fruvous is by
having Moxy Fruvous present themselves," he says in reference to the
band's entertaining live show.' I think that says it all. These people
*do* know what they're talking about.  :)
   Plus, the cover says "CLEARLY CANADIAN" and inside there's "CANADA
ROCKS", both in nice big letters to be promptly cut out and put on my
bedroom wall or in my locker at school.  *grin*

Nope.  I-70 hits I-15 and vanishes in the middle of Utah.  (Near Fort
Cove, halfway between the comparative metropolises of Beaver and
Fillmore.)

Should one find oneself heading westbound at this point, one may either
head south on I-15 to Lost Wages and Lost Angels, or north on I-15 to Salt
Lake City and then west on I-80 to Reno and SF.  Much more scenic than
either of those routes is the one straight west on US 50, "The Loneliest
Highway in America", which includes a pass around Wheeler Peak (13,061 ft)
in Great Basin National Park.

Subject: Minneapolis setlist...

  Ok guys, here's the setlist from Thursday's Minneapolis show, review to
come hopefully tomorrow when I've fully recovered from the 7.5hr drive :)

Extended Sahara
BJ
Darlington
'Get the guitar' (improv/parody)
Krag's Brain/Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon (improv)
Spiderman (moved up in setlist due to acoustic guitar problem)
Horseshoes (after guitar problem fixed)
Half as Much
Sad Girl (Spidey originally followed here)
Moon
Minnie (partial lyrics to come)
Mistra-Know-It-All (finally! *plus* a very (<2'!) close view of Mur's solo)
I Will Hold On
Michigan
'people who like food'
Saucep'n
(Raja->skipped - "not up to it tonight" (Jian))
anti-monarchy intro
KoS/GE&H (Beatles became the Eagles, some songs by The Who, some Eagles)
River
'Secret Agent Man' (extended tease)
GitC
LP#9 (Ohio, Stayin, Who Will Save, song I didn't catch, Love Shack)

Encore #1: Tureen (been over 2yrs, good to hear again)
           Dancing Queen (the other 'finally heard' for me tonight)

  #2: Drinking Song (sounded like the *whole* place was singing, amazing..)

   Jian and Murray both seemed to be feeling better tonight (for those of you
who were concerned after the Urbana show), especially Murray. I've never seen
him so energetic during a set or come out from behind his mic so often to play
at the front of the crowd! (What *did* you have to eat before the show Mur?
*lol*)

Oooo!  I get to meet a Chad! (Or maybe *the* Chad, if no one's yet
sure there's two of them.)

(Oh no.  I revived that thread.  Ack!  :D)
