Katrina strikes again ......

Tulane's Stadium was supposed to be ready this month. It is not and they are once again sharing the Zephyrs Stadium so Wednesday's game is now at 7:00P. :(

Tuesday's game is an 11:30A start. We will be travelling that day but I will be more than happy to arrange for the rest of you.

Thursday night's game is $1 Beer and a band after the game - Pig Pen & the Pork Chops.

I am sooooooo disappointed.

[NOLA]

Rosetree better stock up on mimosas and muffalettas since a bunch of the Threadheads won't be leaving his place to make it to the game...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

thursday night is sponsored by Coors Light - if that's my only $1 option, no thanks.
tuesday overlaps the patry.

i'm pouty and p*ssed!

[stlbarb]

by the time we get there on wednesday, we will have had our coffee.
i like dry champagne! and strawberries! ;)

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

rosetree, did you say more Abita? You might not be able to get rid of us. Still wishing I was in town on Wed.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

$1 beer plus music!!! Checking my sch for Thursday.........

Mommy, why can't those stupid Tulane guys play the night game /throws self down into tantrum/ in best homer simpson voice /stupid great american pastime/


OK, I over it, more time to hang at RTs place

[festivalgirl]

Trust me, I was quite pouty on the phone. Derek (our Zephyrs rep) didn't sound too thrilled himself.

The only chuckle I got was the web site of Pig Pen & the Pork Chops - http://www.pigpenandtheporkchops.com/

i bet they play Mustang Sally & Sweet Home Chicago. :eek:
actually i think they would be very fun.

but i was thinking R&B for Zydeco (Keith Franks & Geno Delafose) - we're skipping zydeco night 1st thursday for the Little Feat, etc thing at Howlin Wolf.

I (wish I) could stay another day and go on Monday the 7th.

poor Derek was probably planning on going to Ingrid's on wednesday night.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

That's a real bummer to come on the Bored with y'all!!! And I was having such a good day too . . .

Well, stock up on the booze for Kitten (I don't like muffalettas) at your pahty, Rosy . . . I guess I'll have to go to either the Thursday game or the game on the 7th - anybody else up for either of those??

i'm a maybe on the thursday game. i need to check the r&b schedule to see who i'll miss (Keith or Geno). but we could grab the airline bus from the ballpark to R&B. if Luvdancin doesnt go to the game with us, she'll be there with the car. if its $1 beers - i won't be drivin!
i'll assume you like zydeco. we could run you home later.

i don't think we'll get a group for a night game.

what time is the Tulane game? do they serve beer?

Wow, you just don't hear a lot of Til Tuesday jokes these days . . .

Woo Hoo, join the Zephrys krewe, Gumbo!!! They have TWO nutria mascots - Boudreaux and Clotile!!!

They also have bat-spinning . . ;)

Wow, I just looked at thier roster and they have Aaron Sele on thier roster...I remember that kid when he was a phenom for the Red Sox, thought he was pumping gas or working in a convenience store by now (not that there is anything wrong with those jobs, did them both myself).

yup, I would probably pass up a night ballgame to hear zydeco. Got to get my fix. And I could meet you there with the car.

tony la russa coulda used that advice. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Oh...low blow. I may live in VA now, but still a Cardinals fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[festivalgirl]

sorry but it's actually funny. especially since the cops sat there and watched hem sleep through a couple of green lights before they woke him up. hey, he's a lawyer, it'll save him some money.

[ozzie]

Damn, damn, bam, bam!

We have tickets to Marcia at the Parish on Thursday nite, on account of we were gonna miss her at the park... and I'm hoping karaokefest will give us a laugh later that night... our last night. ;) Looks like another year before I get to my first game!

So, the good news is more time at Rosies...

[ozzie]

But thanks for trying to hook it up for us all Chrissa. :)

Does anyone have any more information on the show that's goingto be in Lafayette park on Thursday afternoon? I think it was supposed to start at 4:00? I wonder who's playing and how later it's gonna go. That might impact our plans to go to the game on Thursday night. Pig Pen and the Pork Chops do look like fun.

Hey Ozzie, what's kareokefest?

[stlbarb]

tony la russa coulda used that advice. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

;)

we're a drinking town with a baseball problem. this has made Tony, the iceman, more beloved than ever.
somebody's already selling shirts with the number .093 on the back. its a great country we live - free enterprise.

the big scandal here is cops confiscating playoff tickets from scalpers - then using them. its gonna get ugly.

Think Amy Winnette and some of her fellow warblers are planning on hitting a karaoke bar in the Quarter. Kat's Whiskers? Bugger, my brain's not working and it's only lunchtime!

Not only have I never been to a baseball game, but the wonders of karaoke are also something I've yet to discover. Sigh, such a sheltered life I've had!

[Zydekitten]

The Cat's Meow on Bourbon St.

[ozzie]

Close enough! :D

[Zydekitten]

Well, I actually like your name "Kat's Whiskers" better - could be a feline theme, could be because of a sheila named "Kat" or it could be a nudie bar . . . zesty!! ;) :D

[Blitzzzzz]

Just got on here and found out the bad news! I don't know about Thursday night, but I will be around on Monday if Mighty and/or anyone else will be in town. I'd been thinking about hitting that one on my own before we got this plan rolling.

More time for the Bonerama show at Ray's! Yeah!:cool:

[The Krewe of Chew]

I'm always up for Karaoke. We could go to the game and then Karaokefest. Let us know what time!

I'll sing and Dave will drink. (i'll drink, too)

Cindy

Sounds good to me (I'll do both).

I'll also be around on Monday and am game for the game on that night too. :D

[ozzie]

Hey... how big is Rosetree's parking lot? We could have our own game during his open day! What do you need... a bat and a ball and a cheer squad.

for baseball we don't have cheerleaders - other than mascots and their overdeveloped handlers.
we have spectators - the crowd - that do the cheering & booing. (Cardinal fans do not boo ;) )

[ozzie]

The karaoke girls could sing the National Anthem!

[stlbarb]

The karaoke girls could sing the National Anthem!

its a hard song to sing - even if you can remember the words.

I don't have a parking lot per se, but the school across the street has a very large parking lot that they play cabbage ball in. If you want to get a team together I can challenge the middle school kids!!!;) ;) :D

[Zydekitten]

Well, good friend Rosy . . . I don't eat pork and red meat (except for Jazzfest - that doesn't count. Yes, I'm a hypocrite.)

But mostly, I don't like olives and muffalettas are smothered in them - sorry to be such a loser. :(

Not a loser, a little picky maybe, but not a loser!!!:D We'll try to have some other food too....;)

Well, I wouldn't say I'm picky - hmph! I LOVE meat - I don't eat red meat and pork for other reasons.

And I like most citizens of the food world - just not olives. Sorry to be high-maintenance, don't worry about changing any of your plans - I'll be fine with just dinks! :)

hey, i was humored & impressed. how did he keep his foot on the break!!!! i'm not a big tony fan (i have my reasons) but this lifts him up a notch for me. i can just imagine the call from sweet lou!! :D

funny, i don't really like olives myself but the rest of the muffaleta is soooooo good it makes up for it. don't worry, i'll be happy to eat your portion of pork & red meat for you!! ;)

I didn't think I would like a muffalata when I first heard about it as I only like some types of olives-but man is that a tasty sangwich-in fact Central is the first stop in town for me every fest.

[luvdancin]

I love muffalettas. But I love anything that is salty--especially olives. I used to always get my muffalettas at Cafe Royal before it closed rather than at Central Grocery. They would heat them, too. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good to me, Festie - 'preciate your help!!! Can you take the olives too? Or can there be a muffaletta made with just turkey/chicken?? :D

[Jordan]

Tuesday sounds fine for me and the family as well. Don't want to take the kids to a game that starts at 7. Anyone else in?

[rosetree]

There are some places that make a Turkeyletta, but if you take off the olive salad, it's just a turkey with cheese!...

[Zydekitten]

Yeah, I guess I'm just more of a po-boy sammich chick - dressed though!
