Lori, I know you're talking all about me here, and I'm deeply hurt and offended that you didn't take this into private email with me, but instead decided to air our dirty laundry here on the ng. Damn you. I know that you're just jealous because my parrot is involved in a twisted love-triangle with you and my roommate, but there's no need to get snarky in public about it. We all love fruvous. Can't we all just get along? ciao, donna ~obviously obnoxious. 4 Performances (mine, not fruvous ;) 2 weeks... I'm almost as busy as the guys, and what can I say? Lori brings out the worst in me. :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Dec 1999 23:17:40 -0500 From: Donna Hunt Subject: Re: OT: RE: Village Voice blur on Fruvous dopeytoo wrote: > Vokes, Laurie wrote: > > > > > > what color is the Dweeb Awareness ribbon? > > > > plaid.

I think for this one I'll have to do a setlist seeing as how there haven't been too many reviews yet... here goes: Substitute 1/2 Horseshoes Letter N banter =>Gnome Banter BJ-"Buddha and a brush" ID4-echo effect More Gnome banter Fly PTT (the intro being something about gnomes and elves being enemies. even though they can get together against the "Biggins") Saucep'n L-Z Boy Pisco Minnie Disco Splatter^2 IWHO MBLABOA-"My Crucifiction" (Dave breaks string) GITC Shit Psycho Killer Encores: Michy KoS-During the intro, Jian says completely randomly "He's no mormon!" GE&H-this had one of the funniest things I've ever seen in it, but I'll get to that in a minute TDS-truly beautiful...you could tell the guys put their all into it... Ok, now onto the usual Leopard Lady style review! The opener rocked. Russell Wolff (sp? My great apologies if that's wrong!) is so funny! Talented guitarist too...his style reminded me of a slightly tamer Ani DiFranco's. (even though he uses picks.) ; ) I was thoroughly impressed. Because his new album is called "Nipple," he had rubble nipples for baby bottles with key chains "pierced" on them. Nipples were the source of at least one of everyone's (and I mean everyone in the room everyone!) jokes that night. There were a number of plastic garden gnomes on the stage. I recall reading a review from a while back of some fan giving the lads the gnomes, so I had a frame of reference. There were some that were signed, but about the same number of gnomes that were unsigned present. Of the four guys, Mike and Murray seemed to be in the best spirits. I noticed from the get-go that Murray was totally rocking out, and told him as much after the show. It was really hot in the club, and they were all looking slightly uncomfortable from that. Jian was drenched by 15 minutes into the show. He commented on what the heat was doing to his hair, and the fact his unnamed "hair product" was dripping down his face. Mike was wearing a funny shirt that said, "I *heart* Pie," so some drunk weirdo stage Dave shouts "I LOVE PIE!!!" So Jian goes, "Great...that's great..." and Murray picked up with, "How much do you love pi?" Jian: "Can you say it to the 10th decimal?" Murray: "Anyone who can say it to the tenth decimal, leave." Behind the stage was a giant Molson sign which I chuckled over when peering in from outside the venue. I knew they would mention it (Molson being a Canadian beer and all), and sure enough, they did. They'd had it covered, and Jian said it was because they were big-business, and they preferred micro-brews, yadda yadda yadda...and because Molson wasn't sponsoring this tour. ; ) However, the "N" at the end of "Molson" wasn't covered, so Mike pipes up with, "Tonight's show is brought to you by the letter "N" ", and someone else chimed in with, "And the word "nipple"." This sounds like a very Murray thing to say, and I think it might have been him. There was a whole banter about the letter n. Highlights of this are: Jian:"Pi to the nth power" Mike: (repeating through the song Jian started)"Between the M and the O..." This led to commentary about the gnomes. Murray said the N was such a noble letter it gave the glory of being the first letter in the word gnome to the letter G. The guys commented on how there were more gnomes than there had been before, which led to the inserting of the word "gnome" into reproductive terms. Jian: "Chromosgnomes" Dave: (commenting they must have migrated) "Gnomads" Murray: "Zygnomes" Mike: "I get mitosis. Shit." At some point during the set, Mike dropkicked one of the gnomes...this was hilarious. I think it was also sometime around here that Mike shouts out, "Popcorn Chicken!" I was suddenly reminded of the "Chicken Roti Boneless" improv from Friday, and just before I could say it out loud, Jian starts playing the drum beat and says quietly in the carribean voice, "Chicken roti boneles..." I laughed so hard... I didn't take notes on the "2 Legit 2 Quit" banter, but my friend Geoff[1] and I were singing it the next day. Mike was absolutely hilarious...the whole Virtual Insanity thing was awesome. Methinks he really dug that ghetto hat he was wearing. The funniest part of the night (I thought, anyway), was during GE&H during Jian and Mike's "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HIM!" bit. Mike growled, got down off the riser on the stage where the congas and keyboard were, went downstage, grabbed a gnome and took it back to the congas. He then proceeded to take out a book of matches, lit one, and tried to SET THE GNOME ON FIRE. He then DID IT AGAIN. During all of this, he said in a cross between a ghetto/beavis&butthead voice "I love that f**king shit, man! I love it!" TDS was really wonderful...I was surrounded by fruheads who I'd finally gotten to meet, and my friend Geoff had gone with me and he was totally enthralled too. I swayed between him and Kath. (HI KATH!!!) It was so great...the guys seemed totally into it, and the vibe of being with friends, and toasting to absent friends, and love and all the warm fuzzy feelings associated with TDS were flying through my part of the room. My sympathies to those who didn't feel such love...it was in abundance where I was. After the show, I said hi to Jian and Mike, and talked to Murray. Poor Dave had been whisked back to the hotel to go back to bed right after the show had ended. I talked to Cal after the show and learned what a nutty guy he is...I totally dug talking to him. He'd taken one of the nipples Russell Wolff had given out and put it on his flashlight. He genuinely scared Geoff with said prop. (He actually scared me with it...but I loved it too!) That's about it...oh...I made an interesting bit of an idiot of myself in front of Murray...I told him I was mad at Mike for a piece of banter on Wednesday night that dissed on the street I live on...and it wasn't until *last night* I realised Mike had been making a fairly obvious sexual innuendo. ::sigh:: So now Murray must think I'm an innocent...::chuckle:: Okay...that's where the notes end, so that's where the review ends! Hugs to Kath, MC, Fiona, Angie, Lawrence, Anita, Amanda, Kev, AdamH, Nate, Paul, Andrea, Jason, Catherine, Rob, Leah, Dan G, other Dan, Loren, Mindy, Anna, Kat Kunz, Lori, Ellen and anyone else I missed! It was a BLAST!!! [1] Geoff was the short guy in the leather jacket & Fantastic Four shirt who was with me. He is now a fruhead, btw. He might go to Frucon with some friends of his from school. This improves my chances of going. - -J writing a song called the Ballad of Jill V.
