Ok, all you unknown Fruheads out there. Along with getting off my butt and working on the FAQ, I've also gotten off my butt and ordered a reprint of the old buttons. I ordered 250 of them, so we should have them for awhile. So you can get yourself a button to identify newsgroup people at shows!
I did put up money up front to do this. I have no idea what I should do about getting that money back. I'm thinking maybe I'll get Josh to add me to his FHDC donations stuff to include the buttons. Does that make sense to people?
What the button looks like: Click here
I think the guy on the other end of the ordering of the buttons is gonna redo the text to make it look better though. I said that was ok, because he sounded nice.
To get your new old alt.music.moxy-fruvous - Have modem will travel
button, email me. I'll send you info on what to do to get a button.
Button are free of charge of course.

Last time it was checked, Fruvous was #9! (they had gotten up to #7 at one point, but apparently were knocked down to #9 during the last day of voting)
If anyone out there knows where to find the results on CDNOW's website, please let me know!

Recently on the newsgroup alt.music.moxy-fruvous a campaign was started to get Fruvous onto one of the late night comedy/talk shows, or onto Rosie O'Donnell (there are rumors that she knows and appreciates Fruvous's music, although this is not a proven fact). Wanting to get this info out to as many people as possible, we wanted to post the addresses and email addies for these shows here, so that hopefully all of you out there will join in.
A number of newsgroup threads have dealt with "do we want to share Fruvous with the world" and in general, we've decided that we want to do what's best for them. Hopefully you agree. Through Moxy Fruvous Headquarters, word has come that they would be interested in doing one of these shows, and would be happy if we did pitch in and start this campaign.
So, let's let the combined power of the Fruheads ride again! After all, we got over 100 people to come to Toronto in February - why wouldn't we be able to get Fruvous on Conan?!?!
So, without further ado, the addresses you've been waiting for! Please bombard them with mail and email, and maybe you'll be watching Fruvous follow in the steps of Ben Folds Five, or Ani Difranco...
It would probably be good to write directly to the booker, so that the mail doesn't go into a general pile.

He has drawn an ad for the upcoming comic. Click here to check it out.
Mike would like some creative ideas from YOU! If you have any plot suggestions for the comic, please send them to:

On Thursday, August 14, 1997 the Shuttle Discovery crew was graced with "You Will Go to the Moon" for their morning wake-up call.
Click here for NASA's website.
Click here for the shuttle archives.
The voice of Capcom is none other than Canadian astronaut Marc Garneau (who is, unless I'm mistaken, the first Canadian to fly on a shuttle mission). And nasa.gov tells us that it's Marc who chose Fruvous for the wakeup music. :-)
A .wav file of the song is also available there.
