My suggestion for the whole Rochester delima was play 2 shows. One all ages, and one 21+. That way, you can have 2 totally different shows, with different feels to them. You could concievably hold them at a smaller venue then as well. Daniel "signature currently under construction...

Don't forget Border's Books. They recently moved into Davis (after MUCH protest from the local authors (on the grounds that chain bookstores won't stock books from local authors) and from the community (on the grounds that we did NOT need another bookstore, darn it, we have six already; what we really needed was a discount clothing store)), and now one of the independent bookstores has gone kaput. The town's two Starbucks, on the other hand, are near independent houses of caffeination that don't seem threatened (heck, one of them has a second location). And the indie record shop is thriving (they just opened up an annex) despite being located across the street from Tower. Nor has the local organic smoothie place (remember, this is California :) been adversely affected by the arrival of its chain counterpart (Jamba Juice). So, at the risk of playing devil's advocate: are chain stores *always* a bad thing? In Davis, at least, one could argue that the infiltration of chain stores isn't really threatening local independent businesses (with the possible exception of bookstores). They're holding their own and, in many cases, thriving despite the chain-store competition. It's not a given that prices will necessarily be undercut, either: Armadillo Records's prices knock Tower flat on its behind, the UCD Coffeehouse is significantly less expensive than Starbucks', and books and smoothies are pretty much the same price wherever you go. Think and discuss... ObFruvous: um... Armadillo Records does not stock Fruvous, but Tower does. See, Tower *does* have its uses. :) - --nicole twn ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Nov 1998 08:18:30 GMT From: petit_chou@juno.com Subject: Re: Has anyone ever noticed? Just wanted to say a big "hello and welcome" to Lynne. If you haven't already (which I'm sure you have, but it needs to be said, right?) go visit all things Fruvous at www.fruvous.com. It's a beaut. Oh, and to answer your question, I can only use my e-mail provider as an example. When I hit the reply button, a talk-box pops up and asks if I want to reply to sender (the original poster only) or to all recipients (ammf@smoe.org - you know, the ng). If yours doesn't pop up a box, usually you can find some sort of Options menu and will be able to determine where exactly your mail is going when you hit reply. Even if you just post to the group, as long as the person to whom you are replying subscribes, they will recieve it. You're cool either way. Take care!

(Really Long, but maybe worth it) Kudos to Dan for a very thorough review that I don't have the energy to give. Actually if my parents ask you people.. I wasn't there ok? I had a very boring weekend. In no way, shape or form did I hop on a bus to Toronto, meet Sigrid and hop on another bus to Buffalo, or hear Früvous play any of Nuits de Reve, It's Too Cold, Horseshoes with the piano (and I certainly didn't sign [ASL] Horseshoes in full for 2 concerts), Grudge (wasn't there to think Mike called the song "Grouch"), Half as Much or Cross Border Shopping live for the first time. And I would have no way of knowing at all that the quote of night two came from Jian during the encores. SOME IDIOT: DRINKING SONG! JIAN: No, we're waaaaay past request time now. We're just gonna play whatever the fuck we want! Hear, hear dammit. Love it when they get in that mood. Great 2 shows guys. Very much rocked. Btw. Murray has a thing for the number seven lately. There was the replacement for "hi" during the intro to Psycho Killer at NoHo, and both at that show and at the Tralf on Friday night, when Jian asked if there were any Canadians in the crowd Murray's guess was that there were about seven of us. (NoHo: eight Tralf night one: six, Tralf night two: seven (as far as I know and not counting Cal who apparently responded along with the rest of us)In total I think there's about 18 Canadians I know of who will travel to see the guys.)
