Threadhead Meetups

[swag]

Well, the cubes are out now, and it looks to me like the natural time for the meetups would be daily at 1:45pm.

The big stages seem to break just before then most days. And that will let the meetups span the 2pm shift change at Ms. Lena's, so everyone would have a chance to mingle.

Does that work?

[breambob]

Well, 1:45 is a little late for me as I will be quite slurgid by then. But that is better than 6:00 when I will be babbling and incoherent. So OK. Beers for all that spank me. But it's gotta be a good one.

Does that work?The best thing about 1:45 is that the Ms. Lena's Volunteers can participate!. That was kind of a drag last year, watching from behind the counter :(

[Belle]

I can't wait to see everyone again and meet new friends too :)

Now you know how to make us Fest Virgins feel welcome. Can't wait to meet so many of you! The friends who are so tight here make all feel welcome.

Reminds me of Emerson who wrote: "I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new" Feeling like that today for me.

I will be at Lena's for sure

His what's on??

[Zbonnie]

Maybe this is a good place to repeat my suggestion - nay, PLEA - that everyone bring with them and wear name tags to the Threadhead meet-ups with their JF bored screen names printed
IN VERY DARK, LARGE BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS
so that we can recognize each other AND not have to put our damn reading glasses on to peer at each others' chests OR spend precious time asking dozens of people "what's your name?".:confused:

[Zbonnie]

Shall we have a 'supplemental' meet up at oh, say, 12:45? ;)I think I could manage to schedule that in quite happily.

Bon,
A few fests ago, Festnut brought 2"x4" name tag stickers and a sharpie pen.
Mrs. Ohio did that the following year, but no one did last year. I'd be happy to send you some if you'd be willing to pass them around...? It's a great way to meet all the Threadheads.....

[bluedog]

I'll be there with bells on too but I gots a silly question ... is that time for every Fest Day? even 2nd weekenders?
I can't wait to meet all of ya'll! Ya'll are THE BEST group of people ever! I'm so excited about this that I can't really stand myself right now .... I went to bed with the cubes last night.:o

Yeah they were great..plan on bringing it-you won't miss my brother, Priestboy, as he will have his clerics on LOL I keed, I keed :p

[eat_mo_crawfish]

And don't forget the pre-meetup-meetup, 10:00 a.m. (or a bit earlier) at Liuzza's before Fest every day. Great way to start a slurgid day.

[mrSteve]

Last year the Potters gave us a great lagniappe that we could write our name on and wear.

We stay at a house so I used mine for my address so cab drivers or kind folks could get me home!

[Amy Winette]

Last year the Potters gave us a great lagniappe that we could write our name on and wear.

We still have a lot of those left! Guess we should bring em again.

[pokerchick66]

[Bill/KC]

New folks.....PLEASE COME!!! This is how those of us who know each other first met. We were all newbies at one time or another!

[ozzie]

[funkkjunkie]

My lagniappes are half ready. Just need to laminate and cut out.

[Corona]

[Orleansnj]

My Lagniappes are in production !! Yippie !! They should arrive shortly

In addition to name tags...y'all can get a personalized threadhead t-shirt from carolina beadhead....got mine and it is most fabulous. She even fixed my avatar so it would print properly (very big thanks to CBH for my t-shirt).

If you use the search function and type in patry t-shirts the link will come up and you follow the directions to get her the info and it magically appears :)

[Amy Winette]

I still need my threadhead ts for the year, I think I've got about everything else on the list checked off. Gotta give another look to the grids and see if I need more night show tix too . . .

[Bill/KC]

It's a terrible thing when one's nose rots! :)
I remember that year, I went to get another beer and was refused until I put the nose on. The things ya gotta do for a drink at the Fest!!
I guess it has been a few years....that might make a good lagniappe (just have to remember where I got them).

[funkkjunkie]

[pgh_girl]

Ok, so is someone bringing name tags? I will try to remember to bring them and a couple of sharpies too. TRY being the operative word here!

[funkkjunkie]

I think amywinette is going to try to remember too.

[VWGal]

You mean a basic stick on name tag? Maybe I'll take that on as my lagniappe and bring loads of Sharpies each day to meet-up. Suggestions for design? Sumpin' fun, colorful and T-Head appropriate! Send em along...

[grisgris]

Is Ms Lena going to have a bulletin board up this year so I can post birthdays?

"HI! I forgot your name too!" - there's still a few of these buttons floating around. with space to add you name - with a sharpie. sharpies rock. definitely should be on you backpack list. evrything else runs in the r**n.

[ibjamn]

I still have my name tag button from you, I remember getting it at the pdkk crawfish boil! :)

Those are cool, and also cool as in cold hard cash is required! I'm thinking of the stick on name badge though....hmmm.....got an idea or two....

Sheesh, people, noboby listens to me:p : everyone bring your own name labels and wear them to fest! No fuss, no muss, no wasting valuable time.

[Amy Winette]

I think amywinette is going to try to remember too.

Yep, we'll bring the rest of our nametag beads :)

Everyone should just get one of CBH's personalized shirts!!

[Lester_leaps_in]

Bump for newbies that may not know about the meetups.

[withbellson]

Hey guys,

I have long wanted a New Orleans stylie funeral dirge for my own funeral patry, but never imagined that I could swing a way to do it. Now I know that I can count on you crazy TH's to carry it into fruition!!!

It will be in my last wishes and fheezee understand it is to be a huge CELEBRATION and not a downer bereavement patry....

I have also wanted to one time before I die to do all 15 days of JF. I think it might kill me, but I will go with the biggest smile on my face imaginable! :)

patry on~

1:45 PM each day at Lena's Beer tent.

[Chas_P]

Thanks. Was hoping there would be an alternative as well. That's going to make it very dicey for us.

[Staxsun]

Nothing else semi-official, but you should find lots of threadheads before the gates open outside of Liuzza's. There will also be many of them there after fest. At any given time there will be lots of threadheads working at Ms. Lena's especially prior to 2 PM each day. If you are looking for someone in particular, those there may have some idea where you could try to catch up with them or at least pass on a contact number for you to them the next day.

[rosetree]

I asked this question a while back....
Is there going to be a Threadhead bulletin board at Ms. Lena's?

[Carolina Beadhead]

I asked this question a while back....
Is there going to be a Threadhead bulletin board at Ms. Lena's?

We had a piece of foamcore in '05 that Ms Lena supplied, along with some push pins. Not much use was made of it then although there were a few things posted there as I remember... mostly business cards. :)
