Excuse the bad pun title, but yep, we're on our way again for '07. To all the threadheads that remember me / us from '04 & '05, CBH, Chris etc (you know who you are!) look forward to seeing you all again soon.
There will be 2, maybe 3 of us, and we're booked in at the Astor Crowne Plaza - a very good buy on Easyclicktravel at the mo.
If someone could let me know where to find details of threadhead activities, patries etc, that would great.
Great artist line up this year - too good to resist!

Thanks ibjamn. That must be the long lost cubes you're referring to!
I'm not sure I've met Peteup. Was he there last year only?

Hey, Kiwi!! <waving>
Peteup has ocassionally stopped by the board for the last couple of years but, I believe, this is his first time attending.
We all can participate in deflowering him!! :)

Cheers Kiwi and a big g'day from this side of the ditch! No we haven't met, but I've been in and out of this board for a few years now and am finally going to jazzfest with 4 other fest virgins from Melbourne and Brisbane! Both weekends and the bill is, well...I'm speechless. Like a kid in a toy shop.

Hey Ozzie, the CD is still in production and we are laying down drum and bass tracks in a couple of weeks. Won't be finished by JF, but I might bring the work-in-progress with me.
Look foward to hooking up with all our ANZAC cobbers when we get there.
I have had a bit of contact with Ausmus and Pejomo but not aware that either are coming this year.

Yup, we chatted for only a couple of minutes...I'm semi kneeling, holding a green chair bag, right behind the guy sitting to the viewer's left (that's Nano I believe)...
Anyway...so glad to hear y'as comin out....

Hey Paul (flying kiwi)
My apologies for not getting back to you about my trip to NZ. Things wen't a bit pear shaped although I finally did get over there to South Island.
I am definately coming to JF 97, both weekends.
Looking forward to catching up & also meeting Peteup etc.

Pejomo, I guess if Mz Joey wasn't there in '04 and she's in this shot, then I don't think I will enter the debate!!

Thanks PaulC, I'll run that past son, Benny, things will be tight in Florida, we're going to disneyworld. I'm also from Tasmania, by the way.

Doing OK but a bit frazzled the last few weeks. TY, Joey. Can't wait to see you all the rest of y'all again. I am in the pic that saturn just posted from '05. Geez, it is truly a blur, a chronic condition I've suffered for many years now.
