[13:10] <FruCon2> Ok, unfamiliar keyboard.  IMPROV games
[13:10] <KPFruhead> I understand improv... what exactly are the games?
[13:10] <FruCon2> People are milling around.  Art Table, signing the scrapbook
for the band, buying raffle tickets . . .
[13:11] <FruCon2> A "Questions Only" game and "Gibberish DIctionary"
[13:11] <KPFruhead> somebody's been watching Whose Line is it Anyway..
[13:11] <FruCon2> hee hee

[13:14] richardb almost bought a plane ticket to see cee on the display table.
[13:14] <FruCon2> She isn't watching it either
[13:14] <aelf> Well, what IS she doing?  Shouldn't this IRC session be a
running commentary on Colleen's actions? ;)
[13:15] <FruCon2> Oh yeah.  YOU tie her down so i can watch her!
[13:15] <richardb> Exactly leah. :)
[13:15] aelf ties Colleen down to a chair and everyone watches.
[13:15] <KPFruhead> I though the point of the chat was to make us all come to
frucon 3
[13:15] <FruCon2> Vika screams RICHARD!!!!
[13:15] <FruCon2> KP:  of course!  :-)
[13:16] <richardb> Woooooop! Veek!
[13:16] <FruCon2> v *huuuugs* Richard... hey all  :)
[13:16] richardb ruffles Veek's hair in a patronising manner.
[13:16] <FruCon2> HEY!!
[13:17] <FruCon2> lw - *giggle*
[13:17] <FruCon2> v sticks her tongue out at Richard and takes a pic of him,
and runs away before he can break the camera... HAH!!!!  I have evidence.
[13:17] <FruCon2> The Improv Games died . . .
[13:18] <KPFruhead> but they just started
[13:18] <FruCon2> There is a LARGE group singing "Gotta Get a Message" acapella
verry well too!
[13:18] <richardb> Nonsense. My unearthly presence cannot be captured on film.
[13:18] <FruCon2> We'll see, won't we?
[13:19] <FruCon2> (Vika bounded away)
[13:19] <aelf> richard: untrue!  untrue!
[13:19] <FruCon2> sure!
[13:19] <richardb> Shhh, shhhh.
[13:19] <FruCon2> You guys are missing GREAT rafflestuff!
[13:19] aelf grins knowingly.
[13:19] <KPFruhead> there should be a camera connected to the computer so we
can see what's going on
[13:19] <KPFruhead> what are you raffeling?
[13:20] <richardb> Have they raffled Jian's cast off tight tshirts yet?

[13:21] <FruCon2> Richard:  NOOOOOO!  Shhhhh!
[13:22] <aelf> nate is the tall one with longish blondish/brownish hair, likely
wearing a railroad engineer's cap and talking tech with JasonR.
[13:22] richardb is comfortable in the knowledge that he is 3500 miles away to
make jokes like that. :)
[13:22] anthonyd [~anthonyd@m87.ieway.com] has left #MoxyFruvous

[13:40] <FruCon2> :-)
[13:40] <FruCon2> One band we want to to see and get to know Moxy Fruvous
[13:41] <FruCon2> Was how they summarized their stuff
[13:41] <FruCon2> acts they have been trying to sign
[13:41] <FruCon2> Paradynm of the acts the want to sign
[13:41] <FruCon2> Want to talk about spreading about the Moxy Gospel
[13:41] <FruCon2> You are already doing it
[13:41] <FruCon2> You guys are doing great, keep it up
[13:41] <FruCon2> Get the word out about MF
[13:41] <FruCon2> Let people experience them and become natural fans
[13:42] <FruCon2> Once you see them they win your heart
[13:42] <FruCon2> Thanks you for being so supportuive
[13:42] <FruCon2> Internet is great
[13:42] <FruCon2> I think most of you are net connected
[13:42] <FruCon2> Internet clique last year prompeted advertising FruCon in the
Quill
[13:43] <FruCon2> We love the Luddites who as FruHeads
[13:43] <FruCon2> Stuff you guys can do
[13:43] <FruCon2> How can we help spread the word
[13:43] <FruCon2> Organic
[13:43] <richardb> Internet clique? Does he mean us?
[13:43] <FruCon2> You are honest to goodness fans
[13:43] <FruCon2> Very heartfelt
[13:43] <FruCon2> *blink*
[13:43] <FruCon2> (audience I think he means we don't get paid!)
[13:44] <FruCon2> radio - call the stations and request Fruvous
[13:44] <FruCon2> radio - call the stations and request Fruvous
[13:44] <FruCon2> call, keep calling, get your friends to call
[13:44] <aelf> Richard: I think *you* must be the Internet Clique.
[13:44] <FruCon2> (Are there certain kinds of stations you are concerned
about more then others?)
[13:44] <FruCon2> Paks of info?
[13:45] <FruCon2> We don't have the music yet
[13:45] <FruCon2> We need to know what is going to be on the record
[13:45] <FruCon2> Alternative songs
[13:45] <FruCon2> Triple A radio
[13:45] <FruCon2> We all have a problem with describing MF music
[13:45] <FruCon2> I say you have to go see them
[13:45] <richardb> leah: I've been called worse.
[13:46] <FruCon2> You can't describe them in a nutshell
[13:46] <FruCon2> We will be really supporting the non-commercial stations
[13:46] <FruCon2> We will continue to focus on them
[13:46] <FruCon2> Mentions WXPN
[13:46] richardb makes a note to describe MF in a nutshell one day.
[13:47] <FruCon2> Non-comercial will play good music not just what is on
the charts that month
[13:47] aelf thinks you'll have trouble fitting into a nutshell. maybe a VW
Beetle?
[13:47] <FruCon2> Conan . . .
[13:47] <FruCon2> writing letters is great
[13:47] <richardb> A small pen and a cocoanut perhaps.
[13:47] <FruCon2> they can smell out an organized campaign
[13:47] <FruCon2> write individual genuine letters
[13:48] <FruCon2> it makes a bigger impact
[13:48] <richardb> Yeah. We're not putting you off are we Jen?
[13:48] <FruCon2> it HAS to be separate
[13:48] <FruCon2> nope
[13:48] <FruCon2> not at all
[13:48] <FruCon2> Richard
[13:48] <FruCon2> Honest to goodness support for the band has the best impact
[13:48] <richardb> I'll try harder in that case. :)
[13:49] <FruCon2> (??Inetgreity of the Band??)
[13:49] <FruCon2> If they sell thousands of records, as long as people hear
about the band
[13:49] <FruCon2> Releasing the album end of July *ahem* yeah
[13:49] <FruCon2> (A 4 disk set right?)
[13:49] <FruCon2> No no no
[13:49] aelf steals Jen's keyboard for a moment and switches all the key
letters around.
[13:49] <FruCon2> As we get closer to the date
[13:50] <FruCon2> We will release info on how to support at retail
[13:50] <FruCon2> poster, stickers, 
[13:50] <FruCon2> help distruibting locally
[13:50] <aelf> ooooh, stickers!
[13:50] <FruCon2> more info as time gets closer
[13:50] richardb tickles Jen with an ostrich feather.
[13:50] <FruCon2> very broad strokes how you guys can help
[13:50] <FruCon2> Keep doing what you are doinbg
[13:51] <FruCon2> Major label have interns who might not love the band
[13:51] <FruCon2> it makes a dfference that you guys are doing
[13:51] <aelf> ah, in that case, we'll ALL tickle Jen with feathers.
[13:51] <richardb> Keep doing what I'm doing? Eating Pizza?
[13:51] <FruCon2> (????? I can't hear the question)
[13:51] <FruCon2> I dunno, everything
[13:52] <aelf> Will this album be properly distributed in the UK?
[13:52] <FruCon2> Discussion of College radio stations
[13:52] <richardb> Louder leah.
[13:52] <FruCon2> --I'm getting to that Leah and Richard --
[13:52] <FruCon2> --I have to wait my turn --
[13:52] <FruCon2> Its going to depend
[13:53] <richardb> Any idea how long?
[13:53] <aelf> depend on what?
[13:53] richardb looks at his phone bill...
[13:53] <FruCon2> Depends on the individual DJ at college stations wheter or
not Fruvous gets played
[13:53] <FruCon2> --This is being loged and I will clean it up and post it. --
[13:54] <FruCon2> --Jen scrolls up and eeepgiggles at Richard --
[13:54] <aelf> It also helps if the Music Directors at college stations
don't TOSS the CDs or keep them for themselves!
[13:55] <richardb> You would catch me doing things like that. **
Embarrassed shuffle **
[13:55] <FruCon2> (What should I do differently in my radio station)
[13:55] <FruCon2> Play more MF
[13:56] <FruCon2> (Community station,what would be important?)

[13:57] <FruCon2> (what will be on the web page?)
[13:57] <FruCon2> Basic info, but FDC is so good, it will mainly be a link to
FDC
[13:58] <richardb> Seeing as BNL, GBS and Ani DiFranco etc are all
*definitely* on the up here...

[14:06] <FruCon2> 140th Best selling at BMG
[14:06] <FruCon2> Lots of extra effort to make the band well known
[14:07] <FruCon2> (Liklihood of Fruvous doing a movie soundtrack?)
[14:08] <FruCon2> Pure luck
[14:08] <FruCon2> We are trying
[14:08] <FruCon2> you never know who has what movie that needs what kind of
music
[14:08] <FruCon2> Very arbitrary
[14:08] <FruCon2> We are an independent label, we don't have lots of clout
[14:08] <FruCon2> would be great
[14:09] <FruCon2> youth oriented TV shows a possibilty
[14:09] <FruCon2> MF to be working on a branch store
[14:09] <FruCon2> to get the branches info
[14:10] <FruCon2> (???)
[14:10] <richardb> Branch store? Eh?
[14:10] <FruCon2> This record will spend a lot more time in Canada
[14:10] <FruCon2> We had such strange exp in Caada the last few years
[14:10] <FruCon2> it was a lot easier to play in American then in Canada
[14:10] <aelf> richard: you never know when you might be in need of a good
study branch for beating out carpets. :)
[14:11] <FruCon2> I thinbk the Can Music Bus was not ready
[14:11] <FruCon2> We plan to spen a lot more time in Canada

[14:11] <FruCon2> and no
[14:11] <FruCon2> (sorry Richard)
[14:12] <FruCon2> We want them to play in audiences where only the people in
the room are (AWWWWWWWWW)
[14:12] <FruCon2> Concious decision

[14:12] <FruCon2> Europe became
[14:12] <FruCon2> Records deal was horrable
[14:12] <FruCon2> Really horible working with those people, for all of us
[14:12] <FruCon2> Had a blast playing
[14:12] <FruCon2> Really expensive, esp in the UK
[14:12] <FruCon2> Records, if the right opportunity come at me, we will
put a deal togehter
[14:13] <FruCon2> But I am not going to spend a lot of time looking for
that opp
[14:13] <aelf> they only want to play for people in your room over
there?!?!?  I'm APPALLED!
[14:13] <FruCon2> Working on CAN and US.  
[14:13] <FruCon2> If we make this work, the rest of the world will be
knocking on our door
[14:13] <FruCon2> Best way would be online
[14:13] <FruCon2> Or through the Mail
[14:13] <FruCon2> Wrapping up the Q&A session

[14:18] <aelf> ANOTHER crossword?
[14:19] <FruCon2> And Mandolin was one of the answers.
[14:19] <aelf> personally?
[14:19] <richardb> Mandolin is the answer to everything.
[14:19] <FruCon2> Why doesn't Lori get a cheery llama?  She waves a
flamingo at you.

[14:20] <FruCon2> here we go . . . .
[14:20] <richardb> She didn't ask. Llamas are just a one off thing.

[14:20] <FruCon2> Lori:  Thank you.  Is it copper?
[14:20] <FruCon2> Someone is singing Kumbaya

[14:48] <FruCon2> Vinyl would be more pleasant for Fruvous
[14:48] <FruCon2> My personal view

[15:30] <AdamH> What's being raffled?
[15:30] <aelf> around 4?  oh dear... I have to leave for work.
[15:30] <FruCon2> I have visions of Jian looking over at me and then

cold.
[15:32] <FruCon2> Yeah
[15:32] <FruCon2> We were wondering if the jacket would let you sneak past the
attack dogs, or get you killed by them
[15:33] <AdamH> heh
[15:33] <aelf> what is his jacket like?  and why are they raffling it?
[15:33] Arbie notices that FruCon2 is still opped so he assumes the link is

[16:13] <FruCon2> Thanks a lot for comming

[16:13] <FruCon2> as are all my friends
[16:14] <FruCon2> Good to see it is fun from that side as well as from this

[16:14] <FruCon2> Thanks so much
[16:14] <AdamH> Dave, did your liver ever come back?
[16:14] <FruGal> Happy Belated Birthday, Dave!
[16:14] <FruCon2> Special thank you and a word of caution since this falls
around my B-day
[16:14] <FruCon2> I have gotten so many gifts
[16:14] <FruCon2> I don't know who to thank
[16:14] <nitsa> from me too!
[16:15] <FruCon2> I sometimes can't connect the name with the face
[16:15] <FruCon2> I would like to say thank you
[16:15] <nitsa> (the "Happy Belated Birthday, Dave!" thing of course)
[16:15] <FruCon2> I usually get vice realted things
[16:15] <FruCon2> A lighter
[16:15] <FruCon2> A flask
[16:15] <FruCon2> I don't know where this impression comes from 
[16:15] <FruCon2> *laughter*
[16:15] <AdamH> heh
[16:15] <FruCon2> Thank you very much
[16:15] <FruCon2> *APPLAUSE*
[16:15] <FruCon2> Jian
[16:15] <FruCon2> I just have a few words
[16:15] <FruCon2> *laughter*
[16:16] <FruCon2> something fun
[16:16] <FruCon2> I wanted to clear a few thing up, you assholes
[16:16] <FruCon2> I LIKE the Dave Matthewas band
[16:16] <FruCon2> I think we all knoe this is a little nuts
[16:16] <FruCon2> (CEE - you started it)
[16:16] <FruCon2> What is really cool about it though, we all know that
[16:17] <FruCon2> We know there are otheres out there (laughter)
[16:17] <FruCon2> They may not know what you all know . . .
[16:17] <FruCon2> Talking about how I SMELL . . .
[16:17] <FruCon2> is a little over the top but all in good fun
[16:17] <AdamH> l!
[16:17] <FruCon2> why we really dig this support
[16:17] <FruCon2> Its not about celebrety
[16:18] <FruCon2> Its not about Dave's chissled features
[16:18] <FruCon2> Murray's expressive eyuebrows
[16:18] <FruCon2> (laughter)
[16:18] <FruCon2> We get the impression that this starts from what we
create.  It starts from music
[16:18] <FruCon2> You guys following us and wanting to be our friends
[16:18] <FruCon2> and our followers
[16:18] <FruCon2> (something funny I can't see)
[16:19] <FruCon2> I believe there are fans of Moxy Fruvous who are bigger fans
than FruHeads, in the traditional sense
[16:19] <FruCon2> And I think you know that
[16:19] <FruCon2> Or shall I explain
[16:19] <FruCon2> (laughter)
[16:19] <FruCon2> I think you know what i am saying
[16:19] <FruCon2> (laughter)
[16:19] <FruCon2> It is very gratifyuing to us that you appreciate what we do
[16:20] <FruCon2> That it isn't just a stereotypical fan club
[16:20] <FruCon2> There are elements of that whih are cool to us
[16:20] <FruCon2> Thank you for your enthusiasim
[16:20] <FruCon2> A lot of you have seen us a few times
[16:20] nitsa [~ortmann@pm-090.qbc.clic.net] has quit IRC (Read error to
nitsa[pm-090.qbc.clic.net]: EOF from client)
[16:20] <FruCon2> Cheering for us when you have heard these songs
[16:20] <FruCon2> And you are still giving us your energy
[16:20] <FruCon2> We can't always recipriocate
[16:21] <FruCon2> We can't always concentrate on the people we see all the time
[16:21] <FruCon2> We do listen
[16:21] <FruCon2> We do the in jokes
[16:21] <FruCon2> But there are a lot of "Others"
[16:21] <FruCon2> You guys are our ambassadors
[16:21] <FruCon2> It is true
[16:21] <FruCon2> We are a really screwed up group
[16:21] <FruCon2> Really hard to describe
[16:21] <FruCon2> And a lot of people get it wrong
[16:21] katieC [katieC.@167-173-91.ipt.aol.com] has left #MoxyFruvous
[16:21] <FruCon2> Big thing in the Global Mail about us
[16:22] <FruCon2> but we are called "Comedic acapella folk group" and we
have been tyring to move past that
[16:22] <FruCon2> You do represent us
[16:22] <FruCon2> About the NG . .
[16:22] <FruCon2> A lot of you have come to know each other through the
internet
[16:23] <FruCon2> And we have to remember that not everyone is not online
[16:23] <FruCon2> Everyonce in a while someone will defend or speak up
for the band
[16:23] <FruCon2> And someone will say "You can't speak for the band"
[16:23] <FruCon2> Do it, you can 
[16:23] <FruCon2> Speak for the band if you think you know us
[16:23] <FruCon2> Spread the Gospel, spread the word
[16:24] <FruCon2> But don't turn this into a clique
[16:24] <FruCon2> We are in this as a career and we want to be acessable to
everybody
[16:24] <FruCon2> Not making this a "Secret Club"
[16:24] <FruCon2> taping . . .
[16:24] <FruCon2> official policy, that is toally cool, but NON COMERCIAL!!!!
[16:25] <FruCon2> As soon as we find out about stuff being sold, we are not
into it anymore.
[16:25] <FruCon2> Finally . . . .
[16:25] <FruCon2> I want to say Thank You
[16:25] <FruCon2> No matter what you think
[16:25] <FruCon2> I'm only on the NG about once a week
[16:26] <FruCon2> FruVirgins . . .
[16:26] <FruCon2> That is so amazing to hear
[16:26] <FruCon2> you are actively going out and telling people about our band
[16:26] <FruCon2> we don't have the medium to get out to all these people
[16:26] <FruCon2> that you celebrate, that is a wonderful thing to do
[16:27] <FruCon2> You guys take the initiative, that is wonderful
[16:27] <FruCon2> Thank you very much
