Moxy Früvous appeared in Toronto on Monday, September 2 at the CNE Bandshell. They were supposed to be on at 1:00 P.M, but with an impending air show starting at 1:30, they went on early, at 12:30. The show was free with admission to The Ex, which was $9 for adults. I attended this show with my friend Craig.

This was the first time I've seen the guys since Mike and Jian shaved, and Murray cut his hair. Very clean cut! :-)

I received more autographs at this show, this time on my CD liner from Wood. Once again, they're in the Picture Gallery.
