I got really bored awhile ago and made a nifty Frucollage, but I'd like an official poster, too, if anyone could let me know how to get them. Have any FRFF CDs been released before? Is there one being released soon, and if so, when? I would love to have one of those, especially after hearing nonstop raves about the killer tents song. Thanks!

We actually made excellent time and got home around 2:30 (left Hillsdale at 10am). Tomorrow I'll actually post my high points/low points review... but one of the funniest things I heard all weekend was a quote from Cheryl Wheeler during the Songwriting Process Workshop: "That was beautiful... Y'see the Song God sends songs to Ferron on a velvet pillow... me he flicks 'em at me and says "here, write this!" [accompanied by a flicking from the nose]. The music, the Fruvous Lads, meeting Susan Werner and Vance Gilbert and the Sax Player from the Tony Trischka Band, EFO, The Nields, Chris and Meredith Thompson, just too much and I'm too tired. Unfortunately, one of the highest points and most memorable moments I think I should keep to myself... but if a certain lurker is reading this right now... thank you for the conversation and the age compliment :^) ugh... sleep... g'night... - --Angie "I'm not evil...

Watch out for Watcher211@aol.com Hey all, just wanted to warn you all about this guy. Earlier this week, he (or someone with the exact same idea -- I didn't catch the name) had an auction going on eBay for *dubs* (not originals) of the Indie Tape. Well, the auction got pulled for whatever reason, and now apparently he's gone through the list of people who have ever bid on any recent indie tape auction (myself included -- tho I still haven't been lucky or rich enough to spend the requisite $102.50 or whatever for a real one ;-) ) and sent out the email at the bottom of this message. DON'T respond to his offer. He's selling *dubs* of the tape. (Thank you, Jordan, for pointing this out to me :-) ) If all you want is the songs from the tape, ask here on the newsgroup for them -- there're a bunch of copies floating around with people who will gladly dub it for you for the cost of a blank and return postage, if you can't find the MP3s that were posted a while back :-) In fact, if you look hard enough, people will make offers like this one right here: "Email me if you're interested in getting a dub of the cassette. Since it's no longer available commercially, I'll copy it for the first five people who respond and can send me a blank cassette and enough postage to get it back to them." I'm Cc'ing this to Jude, so if I hear back from her that she doesn't want the indie tape distributed freely, the offer's off. But if she and the Lads are okay with it, I'll gladly b&p five copies. -Joe This is the email that was sent out. DON'T SEND THIS GUY ANY MONEY! - ------------------------ Subject: Moxy Fruvous >From: Watcher211@aol.com If you are a Moxy Fruvous fan, you know how rare this cassette is. And since you bid on it you know how much it sells for. I'm doing this because I feel any true Moxy Fruvous fan should have the opportunity to have all of these songs on tape. The cassette has 6 songs: 1. The King of Spain 2. My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors 3. B.J. Don't Cry 4. The Gulf War Song 5. Green Eggs and Ham 6. The Drinking song. The price is $20+$3.20 prioity shipping. This is an excellent copy of the tape at a great price. At 1/5 the price of what the real one sells for how can you go wrong! All of the songs will be in original order. My eBay user name is ShadowWatcher Money Orders preferred, checks take a week to clear. My eBay feedback is 38+ 0- order with confidance. - -ShadowWatcher- - ---------------------------- ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #625 ********************************************
