I've already got Fri/Sat tickets. The lady at TicketMaster Canada was quite nice and there really wasn't that much "hold time." Altho, I did call in the middle of the day in the middle of the week.

In the course of normal business, I contacted someone in our Kingston, Ontario office on Tuesday. While he rumaged his desk looking for the oh-so-important papers I called him for he asked me what I was doing for New Year's Eve. I gave the ellusive answer of "Something really stupid, I'm going into New York City to see my favorite band." Yes, he asked the next question my answer was begging for "What band?" Containg my normal enthusiasim (after this is a business associate) "I said Moxy Fruvous . . ." and was all ready with my normal " . . . you've probably never heard of them . . ." When he came back with "Oh really? That's a Canadian show isn't it?" With a "Why, yes" I was off and running and we were on the phone much longer than a simple mailing the papers would have been.

Like I chose to be born 6 days before Christmas...) but the fact that people tend to forget about your birthday amongst all the Christmas plans. Perhaps that's just the bitterness of my inner child who could never have birthday parties 'cause it was over the holidays. But my best friend gave me the best card this year: A birthday in December Can be magical and merry, Your candles might be lighted By a flying Christmas fairy. Some elves might sing a birthday song, Your gifts could come by sleigh - Magic happens when you're born So close to Christmas Day! Now, in 21 years this has yet to happen, but it still made me feel better! :) Veronica ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Dec 1998 04:04:42 GMT From: koogle@clark.net Subject: Fruvous soothes the savage beast Any of you who've been on IRC have heard me talk about Cosmo, my spacey cat. (As opposed to Lola, my very well grounded cat.) He's a very lively little guy, still very kittenish though he's almost a year old. Today, I was listening to Bargainville, and Cosmo walked over in front of a speaker and sat down to listen. He sat there for several minutes, looking at the speaker and turning his head. Cosmo is still while he eats and sleeps, otherwise he's always in something, running somewhere, jumping up on a forbidden place; I was amazed enough that I had to share. - --Amanda - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V2 #152 ********************************************
