[13:47] 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] Conan . . . [13:47] writing letters is great [13:47] A small pen and a cocoanut perhaps. [13:47] they can smell out an organized campaign [13:47] write individual genuine letters [13:48] it makes a bigger impact [13:48] Yeah. We're not putting you off are we Jen? [13:48] it HAS to be separate [13:48] nope [13:48] not at all [13:48] Richard [13:48] Honest to goodness support for the band has the best impact [13:48] I'll try harder in that case. :) [13:49] (??Inetgreity of the Band??)

[16:12] What we do is crazy [16:12] Its not like a archetict [16:12] Engineer [16:12] All your support is really REALLY special to us [16:12] We wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for the support [16:13] *Applause* [16:13] Murray [16:13] I've never been as nervouse as I am today [16:13] Umm . . [16:13] I don't get nervous for shows [16:13] Um . . [16:13] Thanks a lot for comming [16:13] I'm stunned [16:13] as are all my friends [16:14] Good to see it is fun from that side as well as from this side [16:14] My name is Dave, and I have a singing problem [16:14] (HI DAVE) [16:14] All that stuff [16:14] Thanks so much [16:14] Dave, did your liver ever come back? [16:14] Happy Belated Birthday, Dave! [16:14] Special thank you and a word of caution since this falls around my B-day [16:14] I have gotten so many gifts [16:14] I don't know who to thank [16:14] from me too! [16:15] I sometimes can't connect the name with the face [16:15] I would like to say thank you [16:15] (the "Happy Belated Birthday, Dave!" thing of course) [16:15] I usually get vice realted things [16:15] A lighter [16:15] A flask [16:15] I don't know where this impression comes from [16:15] *laughter* [16:15] heh [16:15] Thank you very much [16:15] *APPLAUSE* [16:15] Jian [16:15] I just have a few words [16:15] *laughter* [16:16] something fun [16:16] I wanted to clear a few thing up, you assholes [16:16] I LIKE the Dave Matthewas band [16:16] I think we all knoe this is a little nuts [16:16] (CEE - you started it) [16:16] What is really cool about it though, we all know that [16:17] We know there are otheres out there (laughter) [16:17] They may not know what you all know . . . [16:17] Talking about how I SMELL . . . [16:17] is a little over the top but all in good fun [16:17] l! [16:17] why we really dig this support [16:17] Its not about celebrety [16:18] Its not about Dave's chissled features [16:18] Murray's expressive eyuebrows [16:18] (laughter) [16:18] We get the impression that this starts from what we create. It starts from music [16:18] You guys following us and wanting to be our friends [16:18] and our followers [16:18] (something funny I can't see) [16:19] I believe there are fans of Moxy Fruvous who are bigger fans than FruHeads, in the traditional sense [16:19] And I think you know that [16:19] Or shall I explain [16:19] (laughter) [16:19] I think you know what i am saying [16:19] (laughter) [16:19] It is very gratifyuing to us that you appreciate what we do [16:20] That it isn't just a stereotypical fan club [16:20] There are elements of that whih are cool to us [16:20] Thank you for your enthusiasim [16:20] 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] Cheering for us when you have heard these songs [16:20] And you are still giving us your energy [16:20] We can't always recipriocate [16:21] We can't always concentrate on the people we see all the time [16:21] We do listen [16:21] We do the in jokes [16:21] But there are a lot of "Others" [16:21] You guys are our ambassadors [16:21] It is true [16:21] We are a really screwed up group [16:21] Really hard to describe [16:21] And a lot of people get it wrong [16:21] katieC [katieC.@167-173-91.ipt.aol.com] has left #MoxyFruvous [16:21] Big thing in the Global Mail about us [16:22] but we are called "Comedic acapella folk group" and we have been tyring to move past that [16:22] You do represent us [16:22] About the NG . . [16:22] A lot of you have come to know each other through the internet [16:23] And we have to remember that not everyone is not online [16:23] Everyonce in a while someone will defend or speak up for the band [16:23] And someone will say "You can't speak for the band" [16:23] Do it, you can [16:23] Speak for the band if you think you know us [16:23] Spread the Gospel, spread the word [16:24] But don't turn this into a clique [16:24] We are in this as a career and we want to be acessable to everybody [16:24] Not making this a "Secret Club" [16:24] taping . . . [16:24] official policy, that is toally cool, but NON COMERCIAL!!!! [16:25] As soon as we find out about stuff being sold, we are not into it anymore. [16:25] Finally . . . .
