I don't think we actually met, because I don't make much of an effort to introduce myself to people. I should do something about that; however, I, Amanda, was the one standing next to Ellen. I was throwing pretzels on the plane and nearly fainting during the first encore Saturday. Indeed, I literally swooned, but I think I was just overheated. My neatest trick was discreetly removing a turtleneck from under the hockey jersey while standing in the middle of a concert crowd. It's like the taking-your-bra-off-without-taking-your-shirt-off thing, only way more advanced. > *contented sigh* Yeah. I wanted to listen to Live Noise this morning, but it's at home after spending weeks in my carry-to-work cd case. But, woohoo!

I'll be in Baltimore and if I get really, really lucky I'll be wearing a nifty Fru hockey jersey (depends whether I get it by then). Otherwise I suppose it will be plain old me in tie-dye minor league baseball T-shirt of one sort or another and denim skirt. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Nov 1998 19:55:28 GMT From: gemini@p3.net (Trace) Subject: Re: who is going to Baltimore and Wilmington?

Study that, NoHo contingent! *giggle* Well, there were two Flyers jersey's present at the Halloween show, and an impromptu "Let's Go Flyers" chant initiated by John Greene on the piano, all of which prompted Jian to improv during a song (I can't remember which one) that it pisses him off when people wear Flyers jerseys :) "Only the Lord saves more than Bernie Parent." - Jian :P - -- Trace gemini@p3.net "I'm not clever enough to be unintelligible." - -Jane Austen, "Northanger Abbey" "It would have to be the most inglorious death of all, 'The Bathroom Accident.'" - -Murray Foster, on the preferred manner of death for Fruvous publicity. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Nov 1998 15:34:08 -0500 From: Sheryl Stoller Subject: Re: Secret Video [bargainville] On Mon, 2 Nov 1998, Hugo Rodrigues wrote: > In article <363D5C48.12F1CF77@RemoveMe.earthling.net>, nanoproph3T wrote: > >So at the Halloween show, Jian mentioned something about the filming > >of a "secret video" .. anyone know the scoop on this? > > I think it's when he goofed on the "Chia Pets" cover and started talking about > one of Moxy's videos, then when he realized that the Pets never did any videos > quickly tried to cover. i think they were talking about down from above..they wore heels in that. :) "The force runs weakly in your family.

I'd like to nominate umlaut (Jordan), who cheerfully volunteered this information on the way to our cars on Saturday night (Sunday morning, really): "If you really want to smell horse manure, come to Champain!" Anyone else? Melanie Hope I spelled that right. Or is it Champagne? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Nov 1998 15:09:54 -0600 From: Josh Drury Subject: Re: Seven! gobo@my-dejanews.com wrote: > > Seven, all you Fruheads!

What is seven, the answer to the ultimate question or something? or, perhaps, to "How many of you out there would consider yourselves a loser?" Hey, I'm just hypothesising, feel free to explain the real answer if you've got a chance...

I think I've had too much coffee today.... "What a trip it has been!" (obligatory reference) Our adventures started Friday when Kevin Way and I left for Noho. It was an uneventful ride until we made an unscheduled rest stop at a KFC in Bloomfield, Mass, where we had our senses of humor tickled by a sign that read, "Eating in cars is prohibited by town ordinance." We never found out if that actually applied to people eating in *parked* cars or not, but we carefully hid any evidence that we had illegally snacked in Kevin's Roadmaster just to be safe from prosecution. On arriving in the Noho area, we checked into the Motel 6 in South Deerfield, whereupon the nice man at the check-in desk asked us if we were in town for "The Show." He had us pegged as Fruheads (my baby-T *might've* given us away) and was aware that Fruvous was "THE" show that weekend. Smart guy :) We got our keys and headed for the Iron Horse! We arrived late to see a long line waiting at the door, but still found great parking as the lot on Center St was now unattended and had a few spots open. Free Parking only steps from the IH! Being late has its advantages! Zard recognized me from Annapolis and said hi, but I didn't see many ng Fruheads near me in line. Inside, I saw "wild" Bill, Josh, Tracy, Sheryl, some really nice, non-ng Fruheads, and finally met Vika and Melanie, as I made my way across the dance floor. I apologize for anyone I'm forgetting to mention. I was on Fruhead overload. The show was incredible, and so much of it is now just a happy blur, but I was reduced to tears several times (most notably during If You Only Knew, and when they played Fell in Love following the proposal, *happy sigh*). The only glitch for me at any time during the show was when Dave and Chris teamed up for Lee. The mic on the snare drum kept picking up an echo from the drum for every note of the song, and I was so intent on being silent and enjoying the experience that the echo was very noticable to me. Other than that, both the song and the set were incredible. Thank you guys. After the show, I was lucky enough to snatch two setlists, one for me and one for Kevin. I mention this because it led to an interesting revelation. Back at the motel after the show, Kevin, Dante and I took a closer look at the setlists and found that they were two halves of an interesting xerox copy. When put together, the setlists wound up being the preliminary sound cues for act II of a musical called "The Norbals," and there were Fruvous references ALL OVER them! Yes, we appeared to have confirmed the rumor of the Frulads' invovment in the production of a musical. That was further confirmed the next afternoon when we ran into Tobey on Main St. He nodded sagely and told us to keep an eye out for "The Norbals" in Toronto, but he declined further comment. I realize I'm getting ahead of myself, but Kevin and I decided to pump Jian for info after the Halloween show. When we told him what we had deduced from the setlists, he laughed, called us "sleuths," and then gave us the info we wanted (Thanks Ji!). He didn't tell us to keep it a secret, so I guess it is ok to post (I don't know why it would be a secret anyways). Fruvous is responsible for at least some of the music for this musical (I don't know if they did all or just part of the music, but they definitely are credited with the Norbals Theme Song at least, and a Moxy Refrain is mentioned on the sound cue). It will be opening in Mid-November in Toronto. So there's the scoop. I hope to hear more from either Toronto-area Fruheads, or those of you who might be in the Toronto area later this month :) Halloween afternoon was spenting chatting and jamming with the fruheads at the Motel 6. LadyWench brought her dumbek and awesome truffles, and Richard his mandolin. Way cool, but I think the other motel guests were scared and thought we all belonged to some wacky cult :) A DaVinci's Notebook cd rounded out the entertainment and that was the first time I'd actually heard DVN. I enjoyed it tremendously. I've GOTTA get that cd! That brings me up to the time for the Halloween show, but I've been writing for an hour here and it is time to go eat. More later!
