Poll: When was your first Fruvous show?

Just BARELY hit the 1997 because my first show was 12/6/97. Boo-yah, Lowest Highest Point show. Heckuva way to start. :)

Man...I can't believe it will have been 5 years this December. It both seems like forever and just yesterday.

October 4, 1997 - one of the shows used during the "Live Noise" tapings. It started off with Message and went into Down from Above, Horseshoes, Fly, Present Tense Tureen, Poor Mary Lane and On Her Doorstep (which I thought was going to be a "wood" show.) After all that my dad asked, "Do they get any funnier?" =) Well of course they did! :D

King of Spain was listed as October 3rd on the LN CD, but it's really the 4th when you get an actual copy of the show.

New-school loser here. 11/20/99 at the 9:30 Club in D.C. The "Jian Kills Cats" show. Woo.

I looked in the show reviews for the Jian Kills Cats comment, but couldn't find it. When did that happen in the show?

the domain http://www.jiankillscats.com used to be redirected to either fruvous.com or fruhead.com

now it looks like it's redirected to new.fruhead.com

Ah, the day I was "adopted" by the Fruheads. From that moment on, my show- going would never be the same....

Slim's in the city. I had heard them about a month before on NPR and had run out and bought "Live Noise." Now I live with a fruhead I met here...

08/29/96 - Iron Horse; Northampton, MA wohoo!

First show July 1/94 (Canada Day) in my hometown of Chatham ON. Still amazes me that they played there not once, but *twice* at the Festival of Nations - Chatham usually has *crappy* taste in music *g* (The show they played in 95 - which I missed by a week - was the one where Jian fell through the makeshift stage in front of the bandshell (I'm presuming that's where it was, since the bandshell itself is concrete) during soundcheck..)

that's right. I'm a loooooooser. I can't believe I'm going to die a fru-virgin. how sad. :(

Let's hear it for optimism and enthusiasm :-P *hugs*

It wasn't my first show, but it HAD to have been for some people right?
I'm talking about Frucon 4, the Opera House show. And the only one of 2001. :)

yeah, good point. blame sara. *big grins*

oops! I'm sorry. I didn't think it through enough. My fault entirely.

Ack! Too...many....cute...cats...on...this...page...

I'm gonna become all ooshy wooshy and miss my kitties! :)

I said '97, but it was really '98...freshman year of high school (which began in '97, but the show was in the spring...), outdoor show at the Lilac Festival. I climbed trees during the first 3 bands, then had a front-row standing spot for Fr�vous. And I still make jokes about the first improv. I saw them do: "I wish I had a lawn." :) So, tip the currently-tied balance in favor of '98, please.

Quebec City. Le Capitole. With Jesse Cook and Ashley McIsaac. Sat thought Jesse Cook, had a blast during Fruvous and then went to the lobby and talked with them. Ever since, Jian has always mistaken me for Danya. *cringe*
