Jess Klein '95 (improv - Mike) - jess made a comment about how since she's a Hamilton grad, when she's there she's billed as "jess klein '95", and she wanted to clarify that she's just jess klein everywhere else... mike started a wacky "pseudo punk" song about it. [I Wouldn't Carry a] Grudge ("Have you ever tried to lift a grudge? They're heavy mo-fos." - Dave) discussion of their genre, how everything should have "gangsta" in front of it... "gangsta classical", "gangsta folk". Sad Girl Spiderman (with a Gavroche reference... he ran out and pretended to beat up Maris, the kid in the Newsies hat on the windowsill behind the band, and returned to the stage wearing the hat. lots of follow-up Les Mis & Gavroche references later in the show, and much picking on Dave.) YWGTTM Octopus' Garden (reggae version) - "Improv is always easier if you use a Beatles song as your basis." - Jian (?) "A round of prozac for this table here." - Dave, about the girls in front of him who looked *very* tired or bored... Too Careful Downsizing: too much guitar this night, methinks, but i like the song. Pisco Bandito (woo hoo!) Boo Time (Dave had to wear Mike's hat & Mike wore his "Grandpa Fruvous" hat, because Dave's got lost somewhere... Mike's hat was much too small for him and sat really high on his head. Dave made a comment about this afterward.) "smoke a little boo with the fruvous crew." Goldie Hawn "Hard Day's Night" (improv - Mike) My Poor Generation I Will Hold On: still my favorite new song, although now i've at least *heard* the others. Dueling Banjos Michy Shook Me All Night Long Present Tense Tureen Johnny Saucep'n Sleepy Drinker BJ ("He'd rather smoke a bowl with little Gavroche") Love Potion #9 - ------- Psycho Killer: interesting to see this one as an encore... - ------- Drinking Song: done from the balcony, with everyone below singing along. All in all, it was a great set: a bunch of new songs and *hilarious* banter (of course, when is there non-hilarious banter with Fruvous?). Kevin grabbed Mike's setlist out of his notebook, then got him to sign it. ;) We stuck around so that I could get my shirt signed (although Mike and Dave ran off to the Pub next door for last call, but I did catch Murray and Jian). Explanation: the shirt was a birthday gift from Beth (another member of the Smith FruCrew), and has the words "Moxy Fruvous" w/ 2 budgie dogs & a KoS hat painted on the front and "Oh what a trip it has been" painted on the back. Met some more people (hi Dante & Angie & Novak &... oh.... everyone else!), then headed back to the motel. Guess that's enough for one post...

I'm not big on the fake ID thing. It puts the clubs that support our music scene in jeapordy. After all, let's say hypothetically that some event or club gets shut down due to too numerous drug sales for the evening...in most areas the club can be shut down for a period of time, have its license taken away (happened all over DC a little while back), and/or suffer huge fine that make it difficult in the future.

I truly got goosebumps reading the posts!!! One week after the surgery, things are going really well (I have my next checkup in two hours). There's still some discomfort, as if I'd left contact lenses in too long, but it's so minor compared to the unbelievable feeling of being able to see!!!!! (If it means anything, my vision was -9.75, or the equivalent of approximately 20/2000 -- my eye doctor said he couldn't give me an exact number because I was so far off the chart). I consider myself incredibly fortunate/blessed to have been able to have this surgery and even more so to know that there are people out there whom I haven't met but feel I know sending out such warm wishes.
