I'm so excited that I'm the first to make the obligatory nod to www.fruvous.com (if, of course, you haven't already been there). It is the source of all things Fruvous, from lyrics to tour dates to fan listings to crossword puzzles. I think that you'll find us an altogether funloving and open bunch (if you've been lurking for a while and haven't been scared away yet, you must know this).

Wait a sec. Doctor Mad? Who's that? Are we still talking about Inspector Gadget? Do you mean Doctor Claw? Besides my petty musings, I must join in with Kate, who sang Rupert Everett's praises. He is the ONLY good thing to come out of My Best Friend's Wedding (an atrocious film that I only recommend for demonstrative purposes -- Pan 'N' Scan at it's peak), not to mention a *wonderful* addition to Shakespeare In Love, stunning in The Madness of King George, and undoubtedly the best choice to play Oberon in the new Midsummer Night's Dream. (Heather's subliminal message: See Cemetery Man [also called Dellamorte Dellamore] if you like cool Italian Gothic-y Art-house-y flicks with neat actors) By the by, he wrote a fabulous book (semi-autobigraphical, of course) called "Hello Darling, Are You Working" which I found to be hilarious. He's got some talent, that boy. Heather Moore ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Oh, another thing I forgot to comment on before... the whole rant about 'supposed' fans of bands after one top 40 hit... There are times even now that I wonder of my "fan-status" with Fruvous... seeing how much contact older (not age wise) fans have had, in jokes, knowledge and experiences. On the other hand, as soon as I realized after the summer concert in '97 that I loved this band, I ran to Media Play and bought YWGTTM and Bargainville and listened to them endlessly. I visited just about every page of FDC, and only the following Feb or Mar (I think?) did I ask Chris O to put me on the FruFans page... and only because of lack of knowledge in technology did I not join the ng until this Fall. I feel like I know a lot... but I certainly don't know everything... but I'm proud to say that I consider myself a -Fan- and not just because of one or two songs I heard or 'cause I think the [insert instrument here] player is cute.

LoCicero" Subject: Re: Outing Richard Butterworth Rushing to Richard's defense for some unknown reason, A.J. points out that to the observant, this message from "Jon Knight" is clearly fraudulent. To wit: Jon Knight wrote: > Really deep down Richard loved Loughborough. He loved bouncing up and > down in an overheated student's union to music played by bands nobody > has ever heard of. Now, anyone who has ever been to England knows that there are two things the the English simply do not have: Decent plumbing, and effective heating. It is utterly beyond my imagination that any student union in the UK could possibly be "overheated" (That is, unless one was standing right next to the overburdened "fire" that was desperately trying to distribute its heat without benefit of a ventilation system). Therefore Watson, I deduce that our "Jon Knight" is some type of charlatan who is out to besmirch our dear Richard's good name. All I can say Richard, is that =I= believe you. Loughborough must truly be a land of insanity. "Jon Knight" also wrote: > He must love American spelling as well really. Well "Jon," we knew that. Richard, by his own admission, returned to England from Northampton, MA more American than British. The only thing he may be in denial about is his spelling preference. But don't worry, we will break down that barrier soon as well. :) Cheers (as you say over there) A.J. - -- "Life is so much simpler without sauce." - -- Lisa _____ _ / ____(_) | | _ ___ ___ _ __ ___ | | | |/ __/ _ \ '__/ _ \ | |____| | (_| __/ | | (_) | \_____|_|\___\___|_| \___/ @wwnet.com ICQ#: 13117113 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Feb 1999 21:51:15 GMT From: jkpolk@ntplx.net (Andrea Krause) Subject: Re: moxy beatles On Tue, 02 Feb 1999 13:52:53 GMT, Taryn Chase wrote: > >Interesting....

I usually try to park on the same street as the club if at all possible. This requires either a) going to the club 2 hours before the show starts or b) going to see a band that ABSOLUTELY noone has heard of. Since b is not the case here, in order to park in front of the club you'd have to go with option a. My other choice for parking when I don't get there early is the Howard University Hospital Parking lot. It's just down at the end of the street and parking could cost anywhere from free (ie: there's noone in the booth when you leave at 2am...this is usually the case) to maybe up to $6.00 I think which is cool still b/c I'd rather give money to a University hospital than give more money to the club really.
