Actually it's 19.... in SOME parts it's 18 tho. On a totally different and OT subject, I smoked myself in the head today with my door that didn't quite open b/c it rebounded off my foot.... anyone ever done this? I'm talking PAIN... white light and throbbingness and clutching the door so as not to faint... But i still went to school, altho i came home early because i was feeling woozy and light headed. I told my mom about it, who told me not to go to bed for awhile. I waited a while, and then fell asleep, and awoke to my mom shaking me and asking "what's your name? What's your address?" hehe... oh man, do i feel like a dolt. Anyone else have stupid and embarressing accidents that they caused themselves? I would love to hear about them! :) - -jen the door-hating, head-throbbing, goose-egged cheesemonkey ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take me to your litre! -MC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Good old Bill. Good old Sad Goat. Bill Richardson should be counted as possibly the greatest friend to Fruvous in Canadian Radio. He plays Fruvous all the time.

It's not really the town itself. It's not the people. It's the fucking layout. I've never not been lost in Pittsburgh, and Tuesday was no exception. So we (me and Karen and Mark and Sara) slid into the venue (after parking in some guy's driveway... he said it was OK) late. Our ears peeled for familiar sounds, Mark says "Oh, we're not late... and they're playing Guster!" But as we picked up tix, the lads took stage, and we slithered stageward just as the lights went up. If you must be late, that's the way to go, I guess... but I'm disappointed we missed the opener. So Lawrence already wrote all about setlist and comments, but I really wanted to write about how the band related to everything. If I never hung out in Pittsburgh except to see Fruvous and judged the population of the city on the crowd, I would think Pittsburgh was full of drunk, obnoxious, rude, inconsiderate, self-centered people. I know there were/are exceptions, and I love each and every one of you. But I really felt that the guys, coming back from a week off, were happy to be playing. They had terrific rapport with each other, especially. Jian kept cracking up over the antics of the other guys, Murray was hysterical, and I've never seen Mike and Dave have quite that much chemistry. During "Disco Bargainville," where Murray gets to show off the bass, he did that whole "Oh, no, it's nothing really, thanks, no, really, but, it's too much" pose. My roommate thinks that Murray's line of the night was when he and Jian were talkin' about something, and Murray points at Mike and says "I'm with Mike." We think it was during the intro to Sad Girl, but we can't remember, and if anyone knows what the heck we're talking about, please help. There was some amount of banter before PTT, Mike doing a little improv about the Banjo, and Dave and Mike sang "If only he could tune it" at the same time, and Dave looked at the audience and said "We didn't rehearse that. That's just how well we know each other." :) Dave also did a little of Chopin's "Death March" [you know: dum dum da dum, dum da dum da dum da dum] on the banjo, and they were joking about how hearing the Death March on the banjo either made you wish you were dead, or made the thought of death a little less scary. :) Jian commented that it might be nice to have Dave play funerals "He knew the guy. He's only $50." During KOS, "There's a balcony overhead" "This is my beat!" Dave asked if we were curious about the epilogue, and Murray said that "Some people already know the epilogue." Dave asked Murray if *he* was curious about the epilogue, and Murray said "No, I'm one of those People." Then, during the "Ask King Questions" portion, is when Murray asked permission to leave, as Lawrence wrote about already. Now, during GE&H, the "Not the Beatles Break," while Jian, I mean, Sam-I-Am was abusing Mr. Cheese, Murray slung the bass back around his back, so it's hanging behind him, upside down, rolls up the shirt sleeves on his black t-shirt, folds his arms, and does his best impression of "buff angry white youth." He stood there, full of attitude, for a few minutes while Jian continued his tirade--[Jian having his back to Murray.] Dave, finally, laughing, says, "Will you ask your friend if he can sing that 'Buhbudda buhbudda buh bum' [ala Bowzer from ShaNaNa] song? I love that song." Where Jian turns around, and cracks up. Dave threw some other abusive comment at Murray, who, chastised, quickly rolled down his leaves and meekly returned to his mic. And Mike's impression of some prehistoric Shaggy, and did a little improv of "Oh Carolina," during the "Never mind what you've done to all the ex-hippies, look what you've done to HIM" break. "Oh, my unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa" "The Fifth Teletubbie!" And Dave did some beautiful Teletubby impressioning. Lawrence forgot to mention that River Valley was followed by "Get in the Car," and instead of the "Twist and Turns" verse, we got to hear the "You fill me with big emotion" verse TWICE. And Yes, Misplaced. How very, very nice. One of my favorite songs, and I haven't heard it in years. I liked the little small acapella break. Jian did drop the lyrics at one point, and looked like he was beating himself up over it. Misplaced is a beautiful song, and we know the words, anyway. :) Besides, it shows that they don't just go into automatic pilot, and don't just churn out the same thing night after night--if they did, he wouldn't have missed the lyrics. It's the art of the live show. :) It was very nice to hear. Oh, and no, because there was so much banter between Mispalced and PTT, it wasn't jarring at all. Mike, Jian, and Murray all came out to chat afterwards. I was so tired, it felt much later than it was. Lawrence gave us beautiful directions back to the freeway. (Thanks!) But then the freeway went the wrong way (Why would you go East to get back to Cleveland?? Pittsburgh engineers are fucked!) Eventually we got home, I was exhausted, and mis-read a sign, and parked somewhere I shouldn't have. I have felt the wrath of the police, and they towed my car. I've never been so messed up in the head as I was walking to where my car was supposed to be, and having it not be there. Then I had to figure out how to get to work. :P While I won't say that it was an extraordinary Fruvous show, it was really a big blast, and I'm so glad I went... school day or not, Pittsburgh or not. :) ciao, donna ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 23:24:28 GMT From: "Free XXX Passwords" Subject: Hottest new XXX password site! 52201 Want some XXX Passwords without the hassle the other sites give you?
