BUT I don't dislike Christ, either--he was actually a pretty awesome guy, unlike Rush. I would prefer not to celebrate a holiday for someone I know I dislike. I think that's an important difference. Unless we were to decide, as Moxy Fruvous fans, that Rushmas was our holiday of satirizing the man, and not revering him as Christmas does Christ. That would be in line with the tone and meaning of the original song...and potentially pretty fun!

So...as some of you may know, I live in MD. I decided to drag two of my friends with me to make a little road trip up to New York for the Fruvous show on January 1st. I suppose it's been said before that a Moxy Fruvous concert experince is like no other experience in the world. As far as this trip in concerned, it's so true! This is my story... Prologue. In this story, it is quite necessary to include at least a summary of the events leading up to the show. Only then can one truly comprehend why, at 5:15 the morning after, I was riding down I-395 in a milk truck. To begin with, I have bad luck. I can't explain it, nor do I ever expect to. I am a walking example of Murphy's Law: If you hang out with Anna, expect everything to go horribly wrong. The few days before that has already brought botched ticket purchases, flat tires, and an awkward New Years party... Part One - The trip to NY. Looking back, the Fruvous Gods were probably telling us to stay home. We woke up late as it was. I had hoped to leave for the city by one that afternoon, but we didn't get out of bed until 12:30. After all the showers were taken, breakfast eaten, and disposable cameras purchased, it was almost 2. The brakes on my car had been acting up for a few days, but I wasn't really worried. I had taken it into the shop the day before, and figured if anything had been wrong, they would have been sure to tell me, and offer to fix it for an outlandish price. Once we started up the car, however, Kendrah was convinced that we needed to take her car. Perhaps it was the severe grinding we heard when I pressed the brake pedal. Unfortunately, her car was back at her place in Columbia, nearly halfway to DC from here. Pressed for time, we decided against it. The ultimate clue that this evening wasn't meant to happen was that we got lost leaving our own city. How many times have I driven out of Baltimore by way of I-95? Maybe a million? Although I don't think I'm that stupid, it certainly is possible. I think it was fate trying to tell us a little something. Once we finally got on our way, Melanie realized she forgot her FruMiles card. A minor detail, yes, but it all adds up... After that, we were making good time. We even stopped at a rest stop somewhere in Jersey so Kendrah and Melanie could pee. Something I did not know: All the gas stations there are full service!!! After fumbling about with the service man for a minute, I finally realized that he was not going to let me pump it myself. I went to hand him my credit card, but...where did it go!? I searched for a minute, but concerned for time, eventually handed him my debit card, and spent the last ten bucks in my account. Now sufficiently overdrawn, I will be fined by the bank company. Thppt. To make matters worse, if I need cash in NY, I'm screwed. Once the service guy walks off, I find the card under my seat. Back on the road, I'm pushing 85 mph. I think we're making pretty good time, and my carefully prepared Fruvous mix tape seems to be a big hit. I had made "An Introduction to Moxy Fruvous" tape for Kendrah, so she would know what to expect. We're all singing along, scaring the other drivers, and having ourselves a mad cool time. Melanie exclaimed, "Anna is driving Fruvously!" and for some reason it was incredibly funny. Then we hit the Holland Tunnel. Traffic, traffic, and more traffic. Who bulids a tunnel into a major city and only puts in two lanes!? We start to panic, because the traffic has taken away our "lost in the city time." We estimate that once we get to Canal Street, we better make all the right turns, or we will be late. We wait quietly in the car, going nowhere, listening to "the sad part of the tape" The Gulf War Song comes on, and we grow more and more impatient. Fruvous sings, "We'd like to play hockey, have kids and grow old…" All of which, I observe, are quite likely to happen before we can even get out of the Holland Tunnel. Once out of the tunnel, we figure that we have it made. Our directions were mapped out by Yahoo, and then checked by a friend who goes to NYU, and were judged to be accurate. For the record, I no longer trust Yahoo, or my friend. We were lost for at least an hour. We stopped at a million places to ask for directions. I think there was a city wide conspiracy against us. I think Broadway was hiding from us, but we kept running into one street in particular...Murray St. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but perhaps not. Either way, Murray St. didn't take us anywhere useful. Finally...FINALLY...we made it. There was a short encounter in the parking garage, as I failed to realize it was a valet garage. I tried to park my own car, and succeeded in being chased down by the parking attendants and feeling like a nerd. We sprint across Washington Square and towards the club, hoping against hope that tonight was a Dan Bern first night. But alas, Fruvous was opening, and we missed whatever they opened with. We came in right at the end of 'Horseshoes' Reserved seats or not, the ticket guy said, we were late. As such, we were relegated to the dreaded...Standing Room Only. The upside to this was more room to dance. The downside was, of course, a terrible view. Part Two: The show itself... I'm no good at remembering exact details of things, especially concerts. I do remember a lot of banter about Paradigm Shifts, a bad picture that was taken of Murray and Jian for some NY paper, and the usual comments about Dave's ass. I have never really noticed how neat Mike looks cool playing guitar. I can't really explain it, maybe it's the way he stands, but he is just one of those people who just looks right at home with a guitar. As opposed to say, me. I think this was the first time I heard 'I Will Hold On' live, and it was beautiful!!! Murray looked like a goofball dancing during 'The Kids Song' and it was especially amusing when Jian came over and danced with him! They had Dave "redeem" himself during 'Green Eggs & Ham' by dancing as well. It had been about two months since my last show, and I forgot how fun it is to watch them all jump around on stage! Maybe it was just me, but the harmonies in the 'Gulf War Song' sounded different. At any rate, it was still awesome, as usual, to hear live and off mic. After the show, we went to the bathroom. I saw Mike wandering around and talking to some folks from the audience, so I stayed outside hoping for a picture, but I was too shy and he left. Dan Bern came on next, and we managed to snag some good seats that had been abandoned. They were right in the middle of the stage, but right behind the first aisle. I had never seen or even heard Dan Bern before, though I heard he was very good. A few minutes into his set, I saw Jian come out from behind the stage and sit down with some people two tables away from us. Melanie and I both wanted to ask for a picture, but not in the middle of the audience during Dan's set, or while he was having a conversation for that matter. Eventually, he left and went to stand by the end of the bar closest to the stage. Melanie and I summoned our courage and went over to talk to him. He was very nice to us, which I sort of expected, because he seems like a nice guy. Anyway, he signed Melanie's shirt, and I got my picture taken with him, after a short debate about where the best place to take the picture would be, since I didn't have a flash. I think he briefly considered jumping over to the other side of the bar, where there was more light, but decided against it. I introduced myself to him, realizing that in my nervousness I had forgotten. He shook my hand and said "Hi, I'm Jian." He said it so nicely, and sincerely, like he really thought I didn't know his name! He smelled nice. We thanked him and went back to our seats, quite pleased with ourselves. I was a little sad that I didn't have good seats for Fruvous and was seriously considering trying to buy a ticket for the later show, when Dan Bern intoduced them as special guests! I was so happy, because I could finally get a better look, and hopefully some decent pictures. Aside from that, they songs they played sounded amazing, and I was a much happier camper after that. I snapped about a zillion pictures, happy to have a good view. I think Melanie and Kendrah was secretly relieved because none of us could really afford more tickets. We tried to stick around after the show, hoping to meet the rest of the guys. I saw Mike and finally had the nerve to go and talk to him. He was also really nice, complimented me on my shirt (a Ben Folds Five sweatshirt) and let me get a picture with him. Melanie then gushed about how great the show was and how we had some all the way from Maryland to see the show. He thought that was cool, but I still felt silly having him know that. I got over it pretty quickly though, figuring that they must get people saying stuff like that all the time. I think Melanie and Kendrah wanted to get out of the club, but I was hoping to get pictures with Murray and Dave. I never did see Murray, but Dave walked by from outside at one point. He was wearing a big coat and a hat, so I wasn't sure if it was him at first. When I was finally sure, he was too thick in the crowd for me to walk over too. At that point someone made an announcement over the loudspeaker about how the people who were waiting around hoping to meet the band should just "give it up and leave." We were scared, so we left. Part Three: The trip home... We sat around at some diner for an hour, just bonding. We talked about the next road trip, which is to the Philly show on February 6th. We were making good time home, and we stopped in Delaware so Kendrah could stop at her bank and deposit a check. Cutting through some back roads she knows also saved us some tolls. I had planned on stopping for gas after we went to the bank, but we suddenly realized that Kendrah's wallet was gone. Thinking she left it at the bank, we double back, but no luck. Five minutes later, we found it buried in the folds of Melanie's sleeping bag. During all the confusion, I forgot to get gas. We were getting out of the Fort McHenry Tunnel when I realize how long I have been on empty. I'm praying that we will make it to the gas station when the car sputters and dies. We leave Melanie in the car, and begin the long walk to the gas station. Luckily, three nice girls pull over and give us a ride. Once at the gas station, the attendant informs us that they don't have any gas containers to sell, so we decide to walk to the next gas station a few blocks over. A homeless man heard us talking to the attendant and offers to give us a container that he has. The catch is that we have to walk several blocks back to his "place" before we can get it. Now, I am usually a fairly trusting person, but not at 3:30 am, and not after the day I have had. We walk to the Citgo station, which will henceforth be known as The Evil Gas Station. We walk inside and find, thank god, the last gas container. Feeling victorious at last, we take it up to the register. The clerk, who must be deaf, starts yelling at us through the glass. She's trying to tell us that we can't buy it. I try to explain that we're stranded on the side of a major interstate. Through the glass, she yells that it doesn't have a price tag, and we can't buy it. Kendrah and I urge her to at least type in the UPC, but she refuses. Eventually we give up we buy a gallon of windshield wiper fluid and dump it out in the parking lot. Then, we buy one dollar worth of gas and fill it up. Now the tricky part…how do we get back to the car? Thankfully, one of the men in the gas station overheard our little dilemma and offered to give us a ride back to the car, since it was a good five miles away. We walk out to his car, only to find that it was a milk truck. And so, this is how, at 5:15 in the morning, I was riding down the highway in a milk truck. It started out as a simple trip to see Moxy Fruvous, but because I am Anna, it ended up like this! And, as literary convention would have it, this story has an epilogue... I took my car in for repairs today. The mechanic said that if I had brought it in before driving it to New York, I would only have had to pay for minimal damages. Since I did drive it to New York, I can now expect at least $250 worth of repairs. I took my pictures to the one hour photo place to get developed, thinking that nothing worse could possibly happen to me. Unfortunately, they were all underexposed, and none of them came out at all. On the upside, I got to spend some quality time with my best friends, and introduce one of them to a great band. They are both very eager to come with me to both the upcoming DC and Philly shows, so that's something right there. Meanwhile, I think of the somewhat short-ish NY set as an appetizer of sorts, because now I am really very psyched for the DC and Philly shows! I'm more amused by my misfortune then anything else. In the end, it was an awesome show, and I had a lot of fun, and certainly came back with more than one story to tell. Our next big trip? Besides Philly (only an hour drive) Melanie and I were thinking about making a run for the border and actually going to FruCon! And that, as they say, is that.
