This morning in the announcements (our school has yet to catch on to the concept of the PA system), there it was - the "quote of the day." Usually it's a supposedly-deep-but-actually-quite-shallow observation about life or some other related thinger :), but today, wonder of wonders! A quote by W.P. Kinsella. It was awful, it was about baseball [1], it was totally meaningless, but W.P. Kinsella all the same! (Wait, did I just bash Kinsella? Oh noooooo :) Nevertheless, Früvous strikes again! peace and fruvous, - -mm- [1] not that the two statements are at all even remotely correlated. seriously. [2] oh yes, the quote!

We are quite partial to NJ shows. We > in the "me" sense... Yes, "we" are, indeed. Also a "we" in the "me" sense. Have the guys ever thought about coming to central NJ, though? I mean, yes, Philadelphia and vicinity IS within driving distance of where I live, but it would be pretty awesome if they stopped by central NJ. I could name several possible venues, such as the George Street Playhouse, The State Theater, some nice local high school auditoriums (*wink*), and there's even a huge convention center in Somerset, NJ...... I appreciate the fact that the guys DO tour exstensively in this area, that they do many, many shows, and that I am far less fru-deprived than those on the west coast, but, hey, it's just a thought. Wishful thinking, even. But I CAN dream, right? ; ) ~truztno1 ------------------------------ Date: 16 Oct 1999 20:05:07 GMT From: hallofeyes@aol.com (Jordan QUSAK) Subject: Fruvous Autographs Hey!

I am threading this post off of Jen's (Ladywench) 'cause I will probably refer to it later on (not too much later, I will try to make this short) So, it was a good thing Doug called me Sunday night. I somehow thought they were coming here after Conan (i.e. the 14th) and would have missed them completely. The long and the short of the call was that Frucasa West was back in business the next day. I had Tuesday and Wednesday off so Doug and I spent most of our time exploring downtown Vancouver (gad, I haven't spent so much time in the centre of the city in a really long time, I'm a suburbs dude and generally avoid downtown but actually it was kind of fun) I had to work Wed. night (Thurs.. morning really) oh, have I mentioned that my new job is pretty much night shift? Anyway, when I got home Doug had already left to make his own way downtown again to await the arrival of George who we weren't sure had seen the e-mail saying we had bought his ticket for him. I, on the other hand, crashed and tried to get as much sleep as I could so that I could survive going straight from the show to work. So I arrived at the venue well after all the line standing fun was over found, Doug and George in almost exactly the same seats as last year, said hi to the girls we met last year at the show (yes, the tiara and boa girl was with us, or us with her depending on how you look at it) and met Jaime and there was another person there and nobody introduced us. The cads! I finally asked George who she was and I was incredibly excited to learn that this was the famous (maybe infamous j/k) Ladywench! I introduced myself and was promptly plied with truffles which I was most happy to accept not having eaten much in the rush to get down there. Poor Wenchy was so tired she doesn't remember much about meeting me and in fact soon after was fast asleep. My biggest regret from that night is that we didn't have a chance to get to know each other. So eventually Tory came on and after some banter he started his first song. Wow, what a voice. There was some technical problems during the first song but I hardly noticed. Tory has the kind of rich, sonorous, voice that makes you wonder why high pitched freaks like Michael Jackson and Michael Bolton are so popular. And he knows how to use it, varying the colour and sliding up into his falsetto with a great deal of finesse and ease. And he is quite the guitar player. As a trumpet player myself I was hoping to hear that too but alas not on this night. Although there was some chatter through his set, mostly during his banter, I looked around while he was singing and most people seemed to be paying attention, much more than for Dana Manning last year. Many of you have seen him and read other raves so I don't need to go on about him. So after a reasonably short wait (in Fruvous time anyway) the guys came out and launched into a fairly typical set judging from the set lists I've seen posted recently. Thankfully, Jen already has posted the set list (I just listen, I don't take notes) I have to agree with Jen, the crowd was I thought smaller (not by much) than last year and less enthusiastic. The place shook but it didn't bounce, 'ya know? I wonder though, if Jen's impression of how weak the "Two" shout in Bargainville (and possibly the general sense of lack of audience feedback) had partly to do with how loud it was. I thought it was just me but Doug confirmed that for a Fruvous show this one was loud. Too loud for any whoops and yells to have much effect. Or maybe we're just laid back west-coasters. All the same, people I saw seemed to be having a good time and were singing along to all the songs, old and new. So as they say, its all good. After the show, Doug, Jen and Jaime took off quickly back to my place to grab Doug's stuff and head off to where they were staying that night and after George and I talked to the guys and our new old friends, I showed George where I live (I'd moved since he was here last) and I took off to work. By the time I got back George had gone off to meet the others at the ferry to Victoria. (my second regret, George and I didn't much chance to catch-up, and I'm sure he's got lots of stories to tell of his adventures back east with you all. And this Enquiring mind wants *all* the details ;-)) That's all for now! - -- Arbie "Reply to" address altered to discourage spammers, sorry for the inconvenience. afru@nospamdirect.ca - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 03:44:05 GMT From: "andi andrzejewski" Subject: Re: IWHO video/Conan Me,tooor blank and postage,whatever you prefer! andi andrzejewski - -- On 16 Oct 1999 22:58:06 GMT Leah Bender wrote: >>Hey, >> I, too would be willing to exchange a conan tape for the IWHO video, or I >>could just send blank & postage for it if you already have conan.
