Can't Wait for the Cubes Club

[stlbarb]

1st meeting will now come to dis-order.

how about designing your own cubes. who every comes closest gets a free beverage from me.

it will keep you busy until march 25th - or whenever they chose to stop torturing you.

[pokerchick66]

Can we just design our own cubes? As long as they play in the order I like, you can keep your beverage. I'll even buy you one! ;)

a virtual fest, where everyone gets their own perfect festival?
as long as all the old & new friends can be with me. and i want perfect weather too. sunny with a few clouds to block the sun occasionally. and that soft cool breeze we have gotten on rare occasions at fest. and of course, no line for beer, food, or potties.

lets buy each other beverages - often.

[chrisjoseph]

looks like it's going to be 3/27, which means Jada wins.

[jhjpotter]

how about designing your own cubes. who every comes closest gets a free beverage from me. Threadhead March Madness....I like it. That would be one helluva hard pool and bracket to fill out!!

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Post what you know:
Zachary Richard: 1st Fri. 12noon
Allman Brothers: 2nd Sat. 5:30(?)

[mightyradgumbo]

Yeah that would be harder than the NCAAs for sure. BTW, speaking of pools who did the NCAA pool on this bored last year? Was it Montana or Ohio?

[stlbarb]

I dont remember Montana's team making it ot the dance. :D

i hope this pool stays shallow, or we'll need a like guard.

[Jada]

Cool, what do I win :D

[Jada]

And how did I win it?

[chrisjoseph]

you guessed 3/27 for the cubes. That's the revised date that festydave said they would come out.

[Jada]

I understand now.

[Corona]

aww man!! I can't wait that looooong!!!

[stlbarb]

aww man!! I can't wait that looooong!!!

you're not alone - membership in the club is growing rapidly.
we'll get you through this.

oh yeah, Zbon is supposed to email me her spreadsheet. I can't wait :) 48 sleeps until I set foot back in Nola...wahooooo!

[Jada]

start working on your packing list.

Done...I keep the same list of essentials every year

[stlbarb]

Done...I keep the same list of essentials every year

i meant coordinating outfits from head to toe.

or trying on last years clothes to see what shrunk or might need mending.

[chrisjoseph]

Jada, email me off line...not sure I have your current email address.

[ohio]

Yeah that would be harder than the NCAAs for sure. BTW, speaking of pools who did the NCAA pool on this bored last year? Was it Montana or Ohio?Hand raised. Not sure if I want to mess with hoops pool this year- Cincy has been so depresssing to watch this year. Think I lost interest for self preservation reasons. Tough after being used to Huggins era :(

Sheesh, I started trying to put together some edumacated guesses, and once I started I realized this was gonna be a 5 hour project!!!!! Too mind blowing for me - I'll just wait 3 weeks for the cube profesionals to do their work, and in the meantime continue with my Fest training of sleep, scotch, and soft shell crab po-boys....mmmmmm ;)

[mightyradgumbo]

Hand raised. Not sure if I want to mess with hoops pool this year- Cincy has been so depresssing to watch this year. Think I lost interest for self preservation reasons. Tough after being used to Huggins era :(

I know how you feel, Bry. We in Boston know all about basketball suckage after years of winning.

[Zydekitten]

Tell me about it, MRG . . . could the Celtics be any worse???!! Oh well, at least they're not the Knicks! ;)

[Corona]

It's so twisted how your summer clothes shrink when they've been tucked away all winter in drawers and stuff huh?

[socaleric]

Wow, somebody else is awake. haha

[Corona]

Wow, somebody else is awake. haha
I know it's brutal huh? lol.....my kid is heading out of town and I'm trying to get her out the door....what are you doing up so early....or have you not been to bed yet since you're in Cali.

[socaleric]

Just got back from a bar called the Standard in Downtown LA. Man, that place was full of stuck-up, uptight twits. Our group was 3 gals, and 6 guys. The stupid hostess didn't let us in because of the ratio of gals to guys. She was like: You guys have 3 girls and 6 guys? Ok, you have to wait. In the end, it took us about 1 1/2 hours to get in - we waited cause it was a friend's bday.

The vibe I get about NO, just from reading these boards is making me hate that LA snobby, superficial attitude!

Plus, drinks are like $12 for a cocktail!

Done

[BigDag]

Just one more week to wait, correct? I'm seeing cubes in my sleep.

I had a dream where I dropped by the Festival office to meet with someone in the marketing department and was given an advance copy of the cubes. I was asked to keep it quiet, but of course, I spilled it on the bored. The repercussions were serious; I was banned from the Fairgrounds.

LMAO BigDag....I know, a week after waiting this long seems like a sprint but it still is killing me. I definitely know that I would spill on the boreds if I knew. I would just create a psuedo-bored name to avoid being banned :p and of course go to fest in disguise hehehe

That wasn't a dream; that was a nightmare!

CUBE ME.

[BillericayDicky]

Bigdad, surely in your dream you had a cunning plan or superb disguise to gain entry to the fairgrounds. Or perhaps all us greatful TH's smuggled you into the FG in our back pack. Come on what happened next!!!;)

[BigDag]

I don't think you could carry me in a backpack, but thanks for the offer!

[BillericayDicky]

OK we'll dig a tunnel and smuggle you in that way. BTW what did your dream divulge about the cubes?;)

[Belle]

OK we'll dig a tunnel and smuggle you in that way. BTW what did your dream divulge about the cubes?;)

a DREAM would be to see all that I want to see with no overlaps or having to pick between artists. Oh and enough time for pee and Avita breaks!!!

[BigDag]

OK we'll dig a tunnel and smuggle you in that way. BTW what did your dream divulge about the cubes?;)

I wish I could remember.

[Zbonnie]

I dont remember Montana's team making it ot the dance. :D

i hope this pool stays shallow, or we'll need a like guard.OK, Barb, deep breath, slow those fingers down, and then place them one at a time on the correct keys.:p

[Zydekitten]

LMAO!!! :D

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

I was in town yesterday and stopped by the offices of The Foundation and Festival Productions Inc. I was hoping to get a copy of the cubes. They told me what we already know. Cubes out at the end of the month. Festival Productions office was busy with French Quarter Festival bussiness. Oh well, I tried.

[Chas_P]

All of this waiting puts a new spin on that old Thomas Dolby song!

:D

End of the month. How vague can you get?

CUBE ME.

I thought Festy said the 27th.

ditto on what CBH said. Heard the same thing.
Pokerchick, I have a question for you about the pic with you & Boz back in 1990. Do you know the guy to the left. Looks like a friend who was backstage that day. ZZ from BR.

I have no idea who that is. He prolly was though cuz I had backstage passes, too and that was behind the stage.

[pokerchick66]

I thought Festy said the 27th.

That's a whole week away. :(

[funkkjunkie]

Naw, it's only 7 daze away. Just think how big that number USED to be.

[Zydekitten]

A mere 6 sleeps, Mon mija!!! :)

[festivalgirl]

I'm trying to convince myself that not knowing is better. It puts off the decision making process just a little bit longer............

Okay, it's not working. ;)

[Lester_leaps_in]

I had this idea, see. I would pick three "must see" acts for each day, schedule those when the cubes come out, and just fill the rest.

Couldn't do it. I have at least six for each day. No way am I not gonna have lots of conflicts.

WTF do I do now?

FOMS FOMS FOMS

[rosetree]

I thought Festy said the 27th.

My sources say that a press conference will be held next Tuesday--4/27..no info before that :(

[chrisjoseph]

Festy said the 27th. Except Monica is going to think I know something I don't know, which I do but I don't.

[Zydekitten]

That was a GREAT non-answer answer, CJ!!! You could be the White House Press Secretary with double-talk like that . . . ;) :D

roflmao! Oh the pain that will come when the cubes are unveiled....I'm askairt:o

[Zydekitten]

Deep, cleansing breaths, Lis - take deep, cleansing breaths and think about your "happy place" . . . ;)

[chrisjoseph]

I think I might have to delete this thread before I write something that I might have to delete.

[Zydekitten]

I think I might have to delete this thread before I write something that I might have to delete.
Well, depending on when you delete it - we might not know that you've written it . . . so write away, cher CJ!

[RevDon]

C'mon y"all, you should all know by now that whoever you want to see the most will be opposite your second choice! I think that it's an evil plot by Quint to make the most devout totally schizoid! Psyche vs psyche!

[funkkjunkie]

Well, Lester, you do have options. You can see partial sets if you can tear yourself away from wherever you are. You can rank your mustsees and approach it from that angle. I do think that the more years you attend the jazzfest, the fewer must sees you have. So it won't always be this difficult. And always remember and never forget: Judge your jazzfest not by the greatness of what you see but by what you had to skip in order to see it.

[Carolina Beadhead]

My sources say that a press conference will be held next Tuesday--4/27..no info before that :(

How come everybody has sources but me? :(:)

[mymecca]

That was a GREAT non-answer answer, CJ!!! You could be the White House Press Secretary with double-talk like that . . . ;) :D

For reals??? That ain't right and the "journalist" who had that phone go off should be ejected from the press room

[chrisjoseph]

Ok...how about this: John Boutte is playing Friday, May 4 at 3 PM at the Jazz Tent.

[Belle]

Ok...how about this: John Boutte is playing Friday, May 4 at 3 PM at the Jazz Tent.

His myspace says the 6th at 3 PM? Great voice for sure. Either way I will miss him:(

This one weekend thing is really bumming me out. FOMS that I could have prevented. NEXT YEAR!!!

[chrisjoseph]

May 4. it was switched.

[pokerchick66]

May 4. it was switched.

As if you'd know.

That is correct. i don't know. But then again, as the song goes: you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...

Typo perhaps,, lets hope so. I gotta plan this and talk to you all about who I should not miss!!!!

[chrisjoseph]

It's March 27, next week. But Monica won't believe me. And for good reason.

[mymecca]

For reals??? That ain't right and the "journalist" who had that phone go off should be ejected from the press room

but then so is the press time spent by your monkey boy, cheerleader in chief commenting on people's hair and clothes instead of answering a question...so is never calling on people who will ask a real one...

oh well, cubes next monday, i hear...wooohooo! ;0)

If you could talk to the powers that be about getting Miss Etheridge back to the fest, I MIGHT forgive you. :)

funk: I sure hope your right. "more years you attend jf the fewer must sees you have" I'm not there yet, maybe next year. :)

[funkkjunkie]

Well, it's worked out that way for me, fred. Plus I factor in who I'll be seeing at night.
Hey, chris, if you give us one of those little tidbits every day between now and then, we can make it to the big day!

[pokerchick66]

Hey, chris, if you give us one of those little tidbits every day between now and then, we can make it to the big day!

Yes, he's quite good at eeking out the crumbs.

[chrisjoseph]

maybe we should have a contest (poll) on who will be the last two performers at each of the big stages for each day.

Makes you wonder what they'd do there if a gay couple walked in?

[stlbarb]

maybe if we had the TH RAFFLE to distract us for a week.......

hint, hint.

where is the raffle? did it run away with the cubes?

[chrisjoseph]

start a thread...WHERE IS THE RAFFLE?

[stlbarb]

start a thread...WHERE IS THE RAFFLE?

i think there's one buried.
that's the problem, we have so many threads right now, and many folks don't dig thru the pages. its easy for a thread to get 'dropped' form the frequent chatters.

i was trying to take the heat off ya.

is anybody gridding these?

is gridding a word?

[chrisjoseph]

yes, it's an action, a verb: to grid. But in this case I think it should have been "cubing" these. More crumbs upcoming.

[chrisjoseph]

or, more crumbs to cube. Ouch. Who spanked me?

[stlbarb]

yes, it's an action, a verb: to grid. But in this case I think it should have been "cubing" these. More crumbs upcoming.

can't cube without stage names.

Or sick minds . . . I'm not sure which, but very glad to share whatever mind I have with you, sir! :D

[mymecca]

birds of a feather and all...

i keep on reading these posts followed by "crumb" and all i can think of is robert crumb and his nutty world...of which i was oblivious, until that documentary came out...seriously creepy family too....still see max and his swallow string hanging around market st from time to time...

CJ are these for real?? i will have to start cubin' it, if so...nah, zkitty is right...patience is a virtue and no zen-like energy wasted attempting to know the unknowable until it reveals itself

[Zydekitten]

Well, I've always been an odd duck . . .

It's funny you should mention Monsieur Crumb - I was thinking of him too, with CJ's little crumb leavings (what is he, Hansel??). I had been aware of his work since I was young and found out about Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural, but didn't know much about him until seeing the documentary (which is great, but his family makes mine look sane and staid - which is saying something) . . .

I'm with you, I'm going to keep my beginners mind about the cubes and leave the crumbs where they are . . .

[mightyradgumbo]

YYR Mymecca and zkitty both...that was one weird family.

Oh my, Fritz the Cat...... I haven't heard that in years. You think it's on Netflix???

the netflix is down for 'cleaning'. i assume its for Fritz the Cat.

saw it while visiting dad in Santa Anna back in 197?.
several of us supplemented with Wx3, and piled in Jack's VW bug and off we went. don't remember much except it was vulgar & hilarious. it was rated X but most of us were under 16. maybe someone knew someone at the theater, or maybe they just didnt care how old we were. it was CA.

C'mon y"all, you should all know by now that whoever you want to see the most will be opposite your second choice! I think that it's an evil plot by Quint to make the most devout totally schizoid! Psyche vs psyche!

Theres the rub, thats how they get you to come back next year! You know like when you shoot a horrible round of golf, swear off the game, and birdie 18, and say hmm, "that wasnt so bad" ?? Well its nothing like that!

Sonny Landreth to close out the Blues Tent 1st Sat.

i was hoping he'd be on one of the larger stages earlier in the day. but maybe the new blues tent will be better than the old one. :(

pretty sure he won't play mustang sally - an i wouldn't care if he did - it would most likely be awesome. :)

i was thinking he could raffle off 'swats at Chris' b-hind'.
Chris? its for a good cause.
or we could auction if off at the patry. highest bidder gets 3 swats.
or like a dollar dance or kissing booth - sell a swat for a certain amount.

oh contraire....i think this is one of your better ideas...possibly the best.

[Orleansnj]

You know what - we're all so obsessed with the cubes maybe they should be more new orleans like....hmmm.....what do y'all think of this idea...

Maybe each cube day should feature artwork at the top from a local artist - or upcoming young artist (yes, better idea).....(this is stream of consciousness - so my apologies).

Something akin to the wine bottles/labels from the french in the 1950s and 1960s....

where we have the black band at the top of the cube and the day - there could be an artwork border or something - maybe from a local school or just a neat young artist who shows promise etc.....

it would be a fantastic way for this young talent to get some press - and how fun to dress up the cubes ?!?!?

Oh Festy Dave.................whatcha think gang?

Can't I have a kissing booth at the patry, instead?

Hey, ya'll.

I saw it mentioned here, somewhere, but can't find it now. Also, what time of day will that show start? Thanks!!

I think you are talking about Fan Fest at Lafayette Square on the Thursday of Daze Between? It's a park just a few blocks from the quarter. It was mentioned about a month ago, but no new info since then. I'm really curious also about the details! I haven't been able to find anything via google, and I can't remember who is putting the show on so that I could check their website.

Anybody have any info?

[funkkjunkie]

the new orleans jazz and heritage festival foundation is putting on the show. I imagine Scott Aiges is in charge.

[NeenAtlanta]

Thanks KK. I just went to their website. They invite memberships and call those who buy them "Fans of the fest". Membership includes "Invitation to Annual Fans Membership Celebration". Don't know if that's the same thing or not. If so, it sounds like you'd have to join (minimum $35) to get in.

But that's just conjecture. Looking forward to hearing more eventually.
http://www.jazzandheritage.org/nojhf_fansOfTheFest.php

[chrisjoseph]

Scott Aiges is in charge. My understanding is that it will be open to everyone; lineup should be out in 7-10 days, or so.

[Dr. A.]

NOKAS?

[NeenAtlanta]

NOKAS?

Not sure - maybe New Orleans Klezmer Allstars?

[Dr. A.]

yeah-klezmermaina!
i know what day they are playing, but time?
and idea as to if ellman plays nola gigs with them?

[luvdancin]

YES...circled on my calendar!!!:D When the cubes come out, you know that Fest isn't far behind. Starting to gather up stuff for the suitcases now.

[pgh_girl]

The moment that the cubes come out I start jumping up and down with joy - I have to remember to wear flat shoes on Tuesday - last year I nearly broke my ankle! :D I am starting my mental packing list now...

I'm so looking forward to the cubes, but they won't do me as much good as they will you fest vets. I know which BNA's I want to see and some of the locals (Dr. John ect.). Let me tell you a little about my taste in music and see if any of you would be willing to help me out. I like all kinds of music (not a real big fan of country), but mainly blues rock (ABB (sadly I will miss them) Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, ect.), gospel (toe tapping, hand clapping, lively praise the Lord kind of music), NO funk & classic rock. I may need to appoligize now for the blues rock. There was one thread on here that didn't speak too kindly of that type music, but I really get into it (can't help it).
Also, (don't start throwing thing at me) I really like some of Rod's music, especially the older stuff.
I'm only there for the first weekend. If anyone would be willing to make some suggestions for me, I'd appreciate it much!

There's no need to apologize for anything. Many of us discovered the Fest by coming to see the BNA's, then falling in love with many of the other offerings. You'll be able to get your gospel fix at the Gospel Tent, no matter what days you are there. And if I were to make a list of "must sees" of the local acts for the first weekend, I surely would include Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty, the subdudes, George Porter, Bonerama, Eddie Bo, Rebirth, Sonny Landreth, Henry Butler, Jon Cleary, Charmaine Neville, Mem Shannon, The New Orleans Social Club, Theresa Andersson, Bobby Lounge, and Irma Thomas. That's just for starters.

bluesmama, let me help guide you also. Ditto on everything BigDag said. He is guiding you in the right direction. Im a huge fan of ABB, J/Winter & Clapton also. Sorry your going to miss ABB.

It sounds like your doing 1st weekend, if wrong then please let us know. Some other great Blues: Lucky Peterson (Chicago), Bryan Lee (Blind Guitar slinger from New Orleans), Tab Benoit (Houma LA), John Mooney (Sometime NO but living in FL now). fyi Buddy Guy plays HOB 1st Friday.

first weekend is right (wishing i could be there 2nd, also)
i've heard a little Lucky - definitely want to check him out!
was already thinking about the HOB show with Buddy & Susan T, but not sure if i wanted to purchase tickets in advance (don't know how this old body is going to hold out)

[pgh_girl]

Must see the subdudes and Sonny Landreth - he is simply a marvel to watch play the slide guitar

[bluesmama]

rbbfounder & pgh girl, everybody seems to be quite taken with Sonny!
Is he playing any small venues the 1st weekend? We are arriving on Thur & leaving Mon - staying at the Monteleone - will he be anywhere close on any of those days?

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Sonny is playing Parrish Room 1st Fri & RocknBowl 1st Sun. Check out jazzfestgrids.com for more info.

[heyhon]

Sunday nite at Mid City Lanes. That'd be an experience you wouldn't forget.

Isn't HOB (safe) walking distance from the Monteleone?

rbbfounder & pgh girl, everybody seems to be quite taken with Sonny!
Is he playing any small venues the 1st weekend? We are arriving on Thur & leaving Mon - staying at the Monteleone - will he be anywhere close on any of those days?
Have to agree either RocknBowl or HOB are both good - my preference is the RocknBowl, but if you are staying in the Quarter, you can walk to HOB - RocknBowl is definitely a taxi
