Lisa mentioned that she was going and was wondering if I wanted to go. I was very tempted, but the issue of money and driving was the problem. I asked Jordan to come up with a list of pros and cons about the entire issue because I didn't have time to even think about it considering the fact that I had barely any sleep, it was my roommate's 21st birthday, I had a program to go to on campus, and there was the issue of studying for my final that was on Tuesday morning at 10am... Ya, I was feeling a little delirious on Monday night. So, Jordan sends me an email saying everything that I was basically thinking in my head but just ignoring it. I swear, she and I think so much alike that it's scary. Then, I get an email from Lisa and I decided. I would head out for Annapolis. I sent her an email and we decide to meet up at 6:30 at the Rams Head. Tuesday, I had my exam and finished it in half an hour and basically didn't know any of the answers. It was more or less me filling in random letters that I picked... By the way, the exam was for Oceanography...and I'm a PSYC major...ya, that stuff will help me out when I'm a psychologist. So, I get home, have to run a couple of errands, and before I know it, it's time for me to leave. I didn't even get a chance to catch a nap so I could get caught up on my sleep. Oh well. I head out for Annapolis at 3:30...giving myself an extra 30 min because I knew what it would be like having to drive on the beltway through DC. I got to Annapolis at 6:45 and Lisa calls to me from across the street as I'm headed for the Rams Head. We go inside, I get a ticket and we sit down in the bar. Two drinks later, we're in complete social mode and we head inside the venue. I met Valerie and Anna, who are totally chills. I definitely look forward to seeing y'all again next semester sometime! Lisa sits with me during Martina's set and we're chatting back and forth about silly things. We order more drinks and are having a good time. After a while, the people that had seats at my table showed up and I was sad to see Lisa go. The people at my table were pretty much anti-social...even though I tried to strike up a conversation with them. Luckily Früvous came on shortly there after. As soon as the guys came on the stage, they started in on some banter...concerning Ann Arundale and Ann Arbor...making implications that George Washington got around and slept his way to the top paving the way for our future presidents...Murray was saying that nobody could resist his wooden teeth then Jian made the comment about how he heard that Thomas Jefferson had problems with having splinters in his thighs. Man, talk about a bad comment. But, it was pretty fun to hear them talk instead of going right into a song. They had to call this guy up to do an intro because they were obviously having problems with getting started. The first song was Nowhere Man, which was great! I definitely look forward to hearing that again...hopefully they can play it either in California or if they're on tour in the fall. Let me see...ok, so Murray and Dave sang a great Pork Tenderloin, which I have never heard except for when those two kids sang it at FruCon. It was great! I definitely thought they would fit in well down here in Hicksville, VA (aka Harrisonburg, home of the chicken and Alpo factories...yeeeehaw!!!!!). I can't remember much of anything else of the concert considering the fact that I was ::really:: far away, drinking too many beers, and stuff... After the show, I met Lindsay and Co. They were pretty cool. We chilled in the bar afterward. I got to know Anna a little better and she's so chills. I was so glad that we could talk one on one... Such a relief to know that she doesn't hate me…and actually is on the same wavelength as Jordan and I. =) So, we were kicked out at closing time and we all headed back to our homes. A trip that should have taken me about 2.5 hours, took me 5 hours because I kept pulling over to sleep. Man, I was soooo tired. I got home around 7:30 and crashed until about 1:00...

Thanks to everyone who took time to talk to me; I really enjoyed meeting more folks. Arrived at Birchmere, remarkably, in only 20 minutes, from my office in downtown D.C. "You never know" what traffic's going to do, so I figured I'd rather be earlier than later. Waited outside for a bit, then got let in promptly at 5:00 to pick up tickets. Waited "inside" for a while; we were a little worried when an entire *bus* of kids pulled up outside; the 'other' half of the venue (where the bar and seats where one can usually wait around for the doors to open) was being used for a revue-style performance. I think it was over by the time 'our' show started. In the meantime, I really enjoyed both openers; Kevin So was refreshingly witty, and had a unique take on a number of current issues. I'll definitely be looking for him to do big things in the future! Martina Sorbara played a couple of the same songs she'd done in Annapolis, but also some other ones; an enjoyable performance, again. Murray's Setlist Mike's Setlist SUB SUBSTITUTE 1/2 1/2 HORSE HORSE HEAT HEATSEEK BOSS BOSS ASS ASS MPG M.P.G. PIZZICATO PISZCO STUCK STUCK MINNIE MINNIE MISTRAH MYSTRA GUINEA GUINEA MICHY MICHY SAUCE SAUCE HOLD HOLD KING KINGREEN GE SPLAT SPLAT VIDEO VID _______ ==== author. car AUTH cher. drink CAR ==== CHER DR. We have taken a departure from having just-one verse of Minnie dedicated to local references; almost *all* of this song had been 'adjusted.' Mike's notes are nearly indecipherable (to me, who is not as skilled in Mikese as I'd like to be!), I will scan them and post them to my site in the next couple of days; check over at http://www.wharf.com/ariel/fruvous.htm next week... Before ILMB, there was what could be called a "skit," the three types of bosses; Jian showcased Dave as the boss who's into 'trust exercises.' When Dave up-and-fell-backward, I think Jian was a little taken by surprise, not knowing if Dave was actually going to do it? Mike portrayed the locked-out Boss; Murray was the kind of boss who sort-of talks to people, then sort-of wanders away, ostensibly under the guise of being 'in touch' with employees, while not actually doing so at all. Has this skit (or anything like it) been done at previous shows? Jian commented, "This usually works much better," during a pause between laughter. Improvs included an extended version of "Fields of Barley," & Black Magic Woman (!!!). The latter was after the next song was introduced as being about food; all the guys got their stuff to play Tureen; Jian even got all the percussion implements. It was then determined that that was *not* the intended next song (I, and, quite possibly, Murray, was ready for Pork Tenderloin!); that they were going to fire whoever was in charge of writing setlists (Jian) because that song did *not* make it to the setlist... So, instead, they played Saucep'n, which *was* on the setlist! Was it me, or were there some new lyrics to Stuck in the 90's? There were some that were decidedly unfamiliar to *me,* but maybe I'm mistaken-- does anyone know whether this has been an acknowledged change, or done before, or I'm just confused? I didn't recognize the song listed as 'Mistrah/Mystra' on the setlists, and it wasn't introduced-- maybe someone else could comment on that? They played IWHO with Dave on guitar; no percussion-- I liked this rather a lot. I think Lisa agrees with me on this one...? KOS into GE&H. Minor downpoint of the evening was the sound guy next to the stage pointedly *not seeing* that Dave had picked up the accordion, then pointedly *not noticing* Dave trying to get his attention to turn the accordion mike up! Very frustrating! It was resolved, eventually, but this may have peeved Dave a bit. Disco B'ville was lots of fun, but the crowd seemed a little subdued-- could have been to the copious posting of the Birchmere's strict rules about noise, etc. Ram's Head has similar rules, but the RHT crowd seemed a little more up. I couldn't see the rest of the crowd last night, though, being right up-front, so maybe I'm off in my assessment... 2nd encore was Cher (finally got to hear that one in-person, after hearing so much about it!), and the Drinking Song, to close. High-energy, great banter, all the things I love these guys for! All in all, a *lovely* two evenings (even if I had wicked trouble hauling out of bed this morning to get to work, argh); great seats for Birchmere (front & center, finally! never been that close before!), wonderful to meet and see folks from the NG and elsewhere. I'll be missing the Herndon & Baltimore shows in June, hopefully someone can pick me up a C Album? I'll be playing the Lads in the car on that trip that's causing me to miss the shows, though, so I'll be with you in spirit! (and converting new Fruheads, too!)

Now, this is a show that I had actually planned on going and didn't decide at the last minute from people persuading me to go. Sadly, Lisa emailed me and said she wouldn't be able to go to the show...she didn't want to drive for four hours...even though she said that her driving limit is 10 hours. Teehee. Sorry, Lisa...I just had to mention that. =) So, at 5:30 I was back on the highway with the ethnics in the car. Atasi was in the back studying for her exams that were this morning (yes, she had a final at 8am and one at 10:30am...what a trooper!!!!!). Amanda was in front as the DJ/navigator in total denial of studying for her exam that she had today at 1:30. As for me...Tuesday's exam was my last one, so I was just fine...ooooh, yeah. =) We got into Alexandria around 7:30 and Amanda was all happy because she's from the area and she was like, I feel like I'm at home even though I really won't be until Friday. =) We went inside and found the only semi-good table stage Dave...it was the table that ran along the right side of the stage...basically, we got a view of everyone's butts during the show (Lisa...sound familiar??? Told you would miss out on that again!!!!). Kevin So was the first to come on and he was great! We really enjoyed his set. Individual is our new song just because that's exactly how our group of friends is. Towards the end of my stay at the hall with the girls, it was basically Amanda ("yellow"), Atasi ("brown"), Natalie ("black"), and myself ("white") doing stuff together. Even though we all have these different backgrounds and stuff, we are still this awesome group of people. I just love these women so much! Anyway, now that I'm done with gushing over that... After Kevin's set, we head out to buy his cds and we had him sign them. He's a really cool guy. =) You all have to get his cds...I really suggest listening to Individual and Porn Star...definitely my favorites from last night. Martina came on and she had a good set. She shared with us that just before leaving for the tour, her car was broken into and her keyboard was stolen. That really sucks... After Martina was finished, Amanda and I hopped out back so she could have a cigarette and I wanted to just stand up and get some fresh air... Again, I was feeling really tired. Man, I need to catch up on my sleep sometime soon. So, while we're out there, I point out the Früvous van and Amanda yet again talks about how they need to get a VW bus. She's so funny. While we're out there, Jian comes out and he looks at us like we're stalkers or something... We went back inside and waited for Früvous to come on. Tobey sits next to us and sets up his station there. We offer him some chips and salsa and stuff... He's pretty cool. They guys come on and yet again, they start right into banter. For the life of me, I can't remember what they talked about. They played a lot of stuff from the C album, saying that it's their 43rd album. =) It was cool to watch them from the side... Just a different "perspective" on them...if you catch my drift. Some of the sites weren't so bad...esp. during I Love My Boss... Umm...ok, so then, before Pisco, I think, Jian comes over to our side and looks at the three of us and smiles. So cute... And during Mike's intro of King of Spain, Jian hops down and sits next to Atasi for a bit...guess he just needed to chill with us peeps for a few seconds. After King of Spain, they went right into Green Eggs and Ham. Last night, Mike went into a lovely showtune I'm thinking is from Cats. It was great! Everyone was cracking up and Mike was meowing and stuff. Hilarious! You had to be there! After the show, we're hanging out and stuff. I was giving Amanda piggy back rides around the building and we talked with Mindy and Anna for a bit. Jian came out and people were making fun of him and Martina because they were wearing the exact same outfits: dark jeans rolled up once, black shirt, jean jacket, dark glasses, and they hair was pretty much the same. Martina's drummer gave her a necklace to put on and it was pretty similar to Jian's. Jian asked for a picture to be taken...it definitely was a funny site. We talked with Jian for a bit and he's really cool. I've never really talked with him before...just kinda hung back while he spoke with Jordan and stuff. He's really funny. After a while, we had to get going because Atasi needed to get back so she could get ::some:: sleep before her exam in the morning. And, that is it for me for a long time in the reviews... I am actually really glad that I headed out for all three shows. I'm leaving for Florida on Friday, like I said in my first review. I don't know when I will be able to see Früvous again. Right now I'm working on ideas to meet Jordan for the California shows and to meet Lisa for the Cambridge shows. The main issue is getting the money for it and dealing with my mother. That's the only down side to moving home for the summer...you have to deal with parents after spending a year being an independent person. So, ya, I was totally glad that Atasi and Amanda joined me for the Alexandria show. It was the perfect closure for us since we're all going home for the summer...Amanda in Virginia and Atasi in Georgia. I introduced them to Früvous and it was really during the FruCon trip that we all bonded and became so close. It was sad that Paul and Jordan weren't there...that definitely would have been perfect. But, I wouldn't have asked for last night to go any other way. These women rock...and someone got a liking for Amanda...hmmm...we'll see what happens with that... Ok, I'm outtie, peeps... See y'all later... Maybe in California or in Cambridge... Jordan, you best be emailing me soon, yo! ...the same goes for you Lisa!!!!!

Okay, how weird is that? In case you didn't catch the big XPN announcement, it's weirder than anything any of us expected: A "home concert" auction. Confusing right? Well, let me just start from the beginning. Früvous enters XPN and talks a little with David Dye about how David looks a bit like one of their English teachers in Thornhill... the type that would "Sometimes party with the kids." Then a few comments on Sarah Harmer, in which the topic of Thornhill (the town) came up again with Murray talking about the drummer for Sarah Harmer saying how he was from Thornhill and how the four of them beat him up when they were in school. Heh. Then a few Früvous songs... they played "Welcome to C" (at which Mike commented it was "Better than 'Hey hey we're the Monkees'"). Then a live Pisco... Then they talked about Appel Farm on June 3rd... and on June 4th, they're auctioning off a HOME CONCERT. As in in your own, personal home. There are a few rules, such as "no garters." It's being auctioned off on the Internet at XPN.org... Then they played the C Album version of "Beware the Killer Tents". Now, my own personal comment: Why don't a bunch of the most dedicated Früheads just get together and find a good place to have it, everyone chips in a couple of bucks and then all have it together! That way, we can all be included and we could all... have... fun. Right. ;o) Früheads unite for a grand cause! --Rai, who is totally spacing out now....

The money gets donated to XPN, a non-profit radio station that you really should check out if you haven't already. This is part of XPNs summer fundraiser.

Bidding closes 5/12. According to the rules posted at www.xpn.org, a maximum of 35 guests can attend, it must be at a Phila. area location, tickets cannot be sold, etc. Rules also mention that the retail value of this item is $6,000. While I love 'XPN and couldn't live without it, winning this will require an awfully large donation. It is apparently not against the rules for up to 35 Fruheads to band together, pool resources, and bid on this item. This is an expensive venture and probably would require a committee of a few people to make it work. I can imagine that they will actually get bids for thousands of dollars, maybe even up to or more than the $6,000 "value". So I'd like to either start or join a discussion with other like-minded Fruheads who actually have the financial and logistical ability to pull this off. Any takers? Cheers! gingee Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 May 2000 23:38:31 GMT From: vika@attglobal.net (Vika Zafrin) Subject: Re: Auction etiquette Spake address@bottom-of-post.com (Eric): >So would it be wrong of me to >leave the seller negative feedback?
