I was awakened early this morning by the sound of rushing water. At first I thought the people who live above me were taking a really loud shower, and then I realized it was raining! YAY!! It is the first time it's rained here since March! Of course that means it's officially autumn, and it will probably continue to rain until March next year, but hey, I ain't complainin'! I've missed the coziness of wearing long pants and sweaters. (It's a good thing I put the top up on the Jeep last week.) Well, I'd better scoot. Since people out here have yet to figure out how to drive in inclement weather, it will probably take me 1.5 hours to drive the 6 miles to work (and I'm NOT exaggerating.)

My favorite Fruvous show took place on October 30, 1993. It absolutely blew me away. It wasn't my first show (I've been to almost twenty) but there was something about that night. The guys changed costumes a lot and used props (a Lazy Boy chair with a US flag draoed over the back) and the show seemed to never end (that was a GOOD thing). They had so much energy and seemed to love to entertain. I was only 14 but I knew after that show that I wanted to be a musician or an actor or something. I wanted to give that much to an audience. That sounds hokey but here I am six years later playing shows and trying to get songs together for a demo. That show was magical.
