I usually end up listening to some of "Echos with John Diliberto." It is syndicated via PRI, so check you local listings. It comes on 'XPN at 11. However, I can't really sleep if there is music/TV/other odd noise in the area (like flying or riding in a car), so I turn the stereo off and curse at the dog across the street that constantly barks. - -- chad at radix dot net "Well just let me remind you that the cubicle is a coffin with e-mail." --Mike Ford, Moxy Fruvous ------------------------------ Date: 20 Nov 1998 03:48:14 GMT From: jianbabe@aol.com (JianBabe) Subject: Re: [Fruvous on the Brain] >>So, does anyone else suffer from the malady of not being able to go 20 min >>without _something_ reminding, implying or otherwise involving Moxy >Früvous?? Oh gosk, do I ever! Fruhead-pal Adrienne and I have really begun to annoy people in the stupid play we're in (aside: It is really interfering with fru-tripping, cursed rehearsals!) But anyway, people are annoyed because we talk INCESSANTLY about them. We sure enjoy ourselves though! People are beginning to know who Murray, Mike, Dave and Jian are, even though they don't know the band at all. Oh, and my "i love canadian boys" shirt is famous around there.

My name is Julie (winnecke is far too astronomical for a REAL name) and after going to the Halloween Fruvous concert at the Ironhorse in Northampton, I guess I've been officially converted into a "FruHead." The most recent concert that I went to was with a group of my friends (some of you might know Caroline, as well as my friends Beth and Katie) in Katonah, NY on the 14th. That was a fantastic show namely because we got front center row seats and we were able to give the band the chocolate brownies. Oh, and just as an aside: I am a Smithie, aspiring astronomy major, flutist, long distance bicyclist, reader of MOST scifi novels, avid reader of Terry Pratchett (practically an expert), and of course a Moxy Fruvous fan.
