Hello...

Hi,

My name is Ali...I'm new to fruhead.com but I've been a fruvous fan since the early days of Bargainville.

I'm from Toronto, though I live in Boston now. I was at the first frucon, but February is an difficult time for me to travel to Toronto so I haven't been to any frucon's since.

This hiatus is wearing me thin and as much as I enjoy Dave and Jian's solo CDs, the whole really is so much more than the sum of its parts. I saw Jian perform live once, and I would like to see Dave, but I he doesn't seem to be coming here...I also saw Murray play bass for GBS and I'm hoping he'll be playing bass for them again when they're here in March.

Anyway, I love my old fruvous CDs and my Napster MP3s, but it's been so long since I've had any new fruvous to listen to. I would love to learn about trading CDs of live performances (I miss the hamilton and chicago concerts that used to be streamable on the web!). I don't actually have any cds or tapes of live performances, though...does that mean I can't get any? Any instructions or explanations of how to go about starting would be most useful.

Since I can't contribute tapes, but I would like to give something back to my fellow fruvous fans, I've taken the liberty of starting a fruvous meetup. (http://fruvous.meetup.com/). For those of you not familar with meetup, you can learn more about it at http://www.meetup.com/faq/�. There are only 3 members right now, but I'm hoping that enough people will sign up over the next month to have at least one meetup take place in March (and hopefully one in Boston or Toronto!).

So that's me.

Ali

Hi Ali! Welcome to FHDC! There's already the mother of all meetups in Toronto in February called FruCon.

And why is it that people want to schedule these things in cold places during the winter? Nuts. :)

Thanks...I do not about FruCon, but since I spend much of december and all of� January in Toronto, it's kind of hard for me to go into the office in February and say I need to go to Toronto again. :(

That's the beauty of meetups...they're local! So if you're in a warm place (with four other fruehads) your meetup is in a warm place! And they're monthly...so if you don't want to go in the winter, only go for the summer months. Of course all this depends on having at least 5 people in your city...

Hi, Ali - You might start building a collection of live CD's�by contacting one of the people here�that lists him/herself as newbie friendly.

The meetup looks awesome.� I have been living in Chapel Hill, NC for over a year now, and still don't really know anybody.� This could be just the vehicle I need to find people who will play guitar with me.� Thanks :)

Here are some BitTorrents that are still available at the moment. Basically you need some software and ideally a fast internet connection... this thread has some useful info: http://www.fruhead.com/mod/forum/view-thread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=731�� If you're looking for live shows, this is a great way to get them quickly and start your collection...

I downloaded the software and have some downloads going now...Hopefully I'll have something new to listen to by tomorrow morning!

::blinks:: How in the WORLD did I miss the Torrent for the Troc?

...Probably because I didn't download the client until recently.

Dude, that was my VERY FIRST SHOW.
