Yay, Fru-moments! Yay, other people singing Fruvous loudly in public! My friends and I do this, too, but we quote either really random lines (like Murray saying, "That crazy place I call Canada!" in Cross-Border Shopping, or "I like how you say my name 'MAH-ree'" on the most recent World Cafe interview) or we twist songs to fit our own evil purposes (we refer to a certain philosophy professor around here as the King of Spam, and I think I rewrote all of KOS to refer to him). We have a whole Fruvous-inspired code that makes about as much sense to us now as it would if I tried to explain it to you guys (like, for some reason, we use "Lazlo" to refer to the little old men in our school's senior citizen program).

Hello again! ( This post has new information regarding hotel information, so please read the whole thing.) FIRST, the deadline for Pre-registration for Frucon3 is quickly approaching. In fact, it's less than 24 hours away! Pre-registration is VITAL to the Fruvous Convention. So, if you have not pre-registered yet, please click on the link or follow the links from FHDC or FDC. http://frucon3.tripod.com Next, here is some important information if you are planning on staying at the Colony hotel and have not make your reservations yet: IMPORTANT HOTEL INFO The Colony (our crash space for Frucon) has had to release our block booking of rooms as of January 31st. They expect to be totally sold out that weekend. They have offered to try to extend our rate for those that call, but we recommend that you call WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS TO BOOK your room. (416)977-0707. Make sure when you book that you tell them you are with the group FRUCON-MOXY FRUVOUS. It is not recommended to book after 8pm as central reservations in Texas do not have special discount information. Finally, please check with the website daily as new information is constantly posted. Thanks so much! Maureen M. Melita - Frucon 3 committee ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2000 09:54:27 -0800 From: fruphile Subject: Re: IMPORTANT FRUCON3 INFO. Hello, I just wanted to ammend my previous post. First of all, though I did not mention above, the pre-registration deadline is Monday, February 7th. You may still attend the Frucon if you pre-reg after this date or just show up at the con, but you will NOT receive the $3. discount unless you pre-reg by tomorrow. Secondly, in the above post, I mentioned the word "website" meaning http://frucon3.tripod.com. Well, in certain browsers the word "website" is highlighted as a link. DO NOT CLICK ON THIS WORD IF IT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN YOUR BROWSER. It will not take you to http://frucon3.tripod.com. It will take you to some advertisment, which has NO AFFILIATION with Frucon3 or Moxy Fruvous.
