There's a huge rivalry between football teams (not like IU ever has ANY chance in beating OSU, but anyway). , or just in general. I have a friend who goes to IU with me who's from Columbus - she absolutely loves OSU. But every time she mentions them she gets a dirty look. Just a pointless little add-on! :) pam :) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 07:24:09 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Whoa! Too much excitement!

Anyone else having mega-problems with dejanews? Anyway, I'd just like to add my two cents canadian to the whole Martin Sexton craze. I had the chance to see him twice this summer as well (at Folk Festivals where Fruvous was also playing - ha! Fruvous content!), and it was love at first listen. The man truly has an amazing gift. And, apparently, a substantial album deal. We'll surely be hearing more from him in the future! For now, for anyone interested, he's got a little website thingee at http://www.guppy22.com/~daniel/martin/ Have fun! hKath - -- "I'll have a smile... to go." -- Topon Das - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 14:47:26 GMT From: auerworld@followme.com Subject: How it Happens This would be funny if it wasn't so true for whatever government is screwing up policies and lives wherever you may be....... It sure does explain a lot of things, though... In the beginning, there was the Plan. And then came the Assumptions. And the Assumptions were without form, And the Plan was without substance. And darkness was upon the face of the Workers And they spoke among themselves saying "It's a crock of shit, and it stinks". And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said "It is a pail of dung, and we can't live with the smell". And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it". And the Managers went unto their Directors saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide it's strength". And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong". And the Directors went to the Vice President saying unto him, "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful". And the Vice Presidents went to the President saying unto him, "This new plan will actively promote growth, and vigor of the company with very powerful effects". And the President looked upon the Plan, and said that it was Good. And the Plan became Policy. And this is how shit happens. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 15:23:57 GMT From: "Demetriou, Melanie" Subject: RE: Delurking On Friday, October 16, 1998 12:14 AM, baseball@ttlc.net [SMTP:baseball@ttlc.net] wrote: > The more important question, Melanie, is whether you (or Adam, for > that matter) have received Quill #13 yet.

I'm in the school of thought that believes the Quills are mailed in "waves." My other theory is that they're mailed third class mail, which can be highly unpredictable. > Yep! See you at the IH! Will Alexandra be joining the festivities? Not this time. Past her bedtime, I'm afraid. Plus, she does better at the outdoor shows. Peter may be coming on Friday night (I hope).

The BCF one is in North Carolina, textile country. Isn't there a Burlington Factory outlet in Brattleboro? They run commercials down here, too. With a disclaimer that says they're not affiliated with Burlington Coat Factory. Or Burlington Industries, maybe. Anyhow, I know what she was referring to, and it is in Vermont. > Depends on what you consider cheap. I stayed in a $59 hotel room in > Colchester last night, but that was on business. I stayed in a nice, clean two-bed motel room on Route 2 outside of Barre for $39/night in August of '95. That's what I consider cheap. :-) Melanie ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 16:08:56 GMT From: hKatherine@ehmail.com Subject: Re: Canucks out there...

Just dropping a little info about the show last night before leaving for my weekend Journey. ;-) Columbus! It was a very interesting show to say the least. I was there with Tracy, Sheryl, JennyC and their associated friends. It was really great to see everyone again, it's been awhile since their last swing in the area. My friend Jessica (who had Fell In Love dedicated to her in Cincy awhile ago) showed up -- who I haven't seen forever, and I met someone else through a random twist of fate involving my Aspects of Love website. And of course, Traci from NJ who came for the trip and is staying with us. The big suprise of the night was to see CeeCee! I had no idea to expect that since I've fallen behind on the ng. :) Anyway, Eddie From Ohio was wonderful. They have a nice folky bluegrassy rootsy sound. Eddie is an amazing bongo guy (especially in light of my recent Guster craze). Their vocals were also superb (Fruvous mentioned about how they felt stupid singing and playing their little bongos after EFO.. :) Fruvous came on almost on schedule, with a wonderful jammed Sahara. The sound was a little off due to the so/so sound system and possibly a bit of Cal's cold. But not too bad! Tracy noticed right away that the guys seemed to be in a bit more of a.. hmmm, an "altered state" than usual. :) They were very intense musically, and fairly absent-minded. :) I don't have a copy of the setlist, but here are some highlights: * Half As Much. WOW! This song really came together, *finally*! I've always had a hate for this song. When they announced it, I was like "blah". But after the 100th reworking of the song, I loved it! A really great wall of sound, a lot like the GitC/YNB/etc rockers of the past, but with a lot more thought behind the music. * Horseshoes. Fairly standard version, except for the guitar solo. Dave went a little bit bezerk and the solo turned into a wonderfully twisted array of randomness that somehow worked. Smiles abounded between Dave and Mike after that. * You Will Go To The Moon. More odd behavior from the boys. ;-) First, Dave false started the song. Then, during the song break, a disco ball went nuts and showered the room with light. The guys got a big kick out of it, and lost track of the song. When Murr led into the song again, Jian and Mike followed, but Dave just stood there snapping his fingers. They all eventually broke into laughter and the song ended. Jian explained the ending for awhile and then tried to get them to do the end part all again. So they did after some prodding, still laughing quite a bit. :) * Going The Distance. Starting as an improv, the song grew into several songs at once, blending together really well! Cake's "Going The Distance" was Jian's line, and then Mike broke into "One Night In Bankok" from Chess on top of Going The Distance. It was so wonderful! Tracy and I were laughing because we'd always said how a perfect cover would be Bankok, with Mike singing. :-) * River Valley. They actually played that.. it's been awhile! * Billie Jian -> Michigan. Ok, this *isn't* a highlight. Dave grabs his banjo, and Jian starts that nice slow 1-2-3-4 beat. Murray joins in with the bass line to... BILLIE JIAN! YES! They haven't played that in ages!!! But wait... what's Mike doing..? Bullhorn? Keyboard? Shouldn't he have a guitar? Then, Jian starts talking about.. the next song? No!!! They break into Michigan Militia. That was the cruelest tease ever! Various members of the crowd glared at each other at this point. Ok, so Michy still rocked. But Ji had better make this up. :) Two encores -- first was Psycho Killer, second was the Drinking Song. Complete with Frances, the Shirtless Fratboy periodically yelling "FRATBOY!!!!!!" and "SPIDDDERRRMANNNN!!!!". Idiot. Overall, a great show!! Lots of energy and fun. The boys were in rare form to say the least. After staying and talking with everyone, we headed back and made it just before 4. Ah... gotta love having tests the next morning. :) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh Woodward, CheEsy Fru. joshw@mail.bgsu.edu Web Site and Tape List: http://www.dc-adnet.com/joshw/ "You can't prearrange all these hopes that may change on a dime, Just give yourself time." -- Jian, Moxy Fruvous ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #812 ********************************************
