Chad will most likely give you the obligatory pointer to FDC so I'm going to be non-Fruvous related and say this: The BNL fans get annoyed when BNL are called pop artists? That's extremely interesting because I have BNL on tape (Ok Steve and Ed, and possibly Steve and Tyler at another point) saying that BNL music is pop music and they have no problem being called that. True this was before Stunt, around Rock Spectacle/Born on a Pirate Shipe Time but surely their attitude can't have changed that much. I would definitely classify both BNL and Fruvous as pop music. "Popular music" is what they play. It's a very very very broad category, encompassing everyone from Backstreet Boys to Marilyn Manson and the only category into which either band fits. BNL may sort of be more "alternative" these days but that's just a sub-genre of pop.

Ok, nobody has asked this so I feel compelled (being an avid reader), what book did you fly to London to get? This could play a key role in determining our assessment of your definition of normalcy.

I liked the stuff he did at the last FruCon, but that's all of his that I have heard so far. My add: Stephanie Westdal. She opened for Fruvous at the October '97 Winnipeg show (the one that got broadcast on Definitely Not The Opera), and I was *really* impressed. Less depressing than Oh Susannah, too.[1] - -D.

Seeing as most of us Fruheads who, as you put it "actually LIVE in Toronto" don't live in the downtown area (*wave* to Heatherrr and Sarah who do) finding a place in "the suburbs" could be fun if you could find a place near us. I'm still not entirely sure if my house will be open for visitors (and if it isn't I won't be home much Thursday-Saturday) due to parental paranoia about the Internet. They're getting better, Drea's allowed to stay overnight before we leave for NoHo and they may even meet Mike Wood (computer-geek Mike Wood not comic artist Michael Wood) so who knows. The Global Backpacker hostel Michelle mentioned is literally steps from the Rivoli and looks quite nice so I will join her in reccomending it. As for Things To Do.. If you want to bring your skates (or rent some) then City Hall has an outdoor rink in the winter which is a free way to kill some time. There is, as AJ said, shopping walking around Queen St, plays, (lots of little theatres around Toronto.. I went to see "Insomnia", an odd but good little play for all of $10 the other weekend), the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Royal Ontario Museum, The Ontario Science Centre and there was my short-lived idea of a visit to Much Music which, now that it's a 4-day thing, could be revived. By that point in February there might even be an exhibition Jays game at the 'Dome. We could get a group rate! *g* I always like taking people around Harbourfront and the Toronto Islands but in February it's not as much fun as it is in July. Lots to do in Toronto, always and most of it cheap. If we get a blizzard outside, or it hits -32 Celsius then we grab a few videos, a few litres of hot chocolate, find a central location, and there you go.
