This is so cool! Thank you for the invitation, and congratulations to you and Tony.

Tony and Tina's Wedding. Has a nice, familiar ring to it.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Hello from Houston! Congratulations!!! Welcome to the board. Will be one heck of a honeymoon. See you at 11 2nd Fri.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Tina, you might want to let everyone know the location. The other thread has it located at the Oak Tree at LA Folklife Village. Is this between Fais Do Do stage and the record tent?

[withbellson]

I think so. I understand they have a chapel or something of that nature (probably a tent) set up for weddings! We are closing on our new house on the 30th and then heading to NOLA to get hitched!!! We are so in love we don't know what to do with ourselves!!!

You're heading to the right place! Congrats.

If you're newlyweds, and in NOLA, my guess is you'll know exactly what to do with yourselves! Enjoy!

[socaleric]

Best wishes! Congrats! Yippee! :D

[LACA Native]

Congratulations! My husband and I were married in NOLA in 1994 - we only wish it could have been at Jazzfest! We were married in the courthouse, but it's no less sweet a memory.

[sophisticated sissy]

Best wishes!

[withbellson]

We are just thrilled about getting married there because we have an excuse each year to go back and celebrate!!!

[rosetree]

Do you need a glass to step on???? (I don't know the type of ceremony)
I know a famous glass artist who might be able to.........;)

meet us at Liuzza's before fest, us gals will explain what will be expected of you as a married woman. :D
congrats! and may i suggest you register at Ms. Lena's beer stand so that your guests know which beers to buy you.

[withbellson]

Not a bad idea registering at Miss Lena's beer register. Didn't think of that one myself. We are going to have so much fun. We're having Tshirts made with our photo and Tony & Tina on the front and on the back Jazz Fest date and on our butts it'll say Just Married. I'll wear bells on my tennis shoes and he'll wear a whistle hanging from his belt, you'll have to guess the rest. Don't it sound like a hoot!!!!

[Zydekitten]

What do you mean have we seen the play? I'm new to all this?
There's a great Off-Broadway play called "Tony and Tina's Wedding" that has been a big hit all around the country - it's really imaginative and funny!

Rosy posted the link for the play's website, but they also did a film version:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375145/

I'm kind of amazed too that no-one else has mentioned it to you guys (y'all being a really-real Tony and Tina after all) . . . :D

Hi Tony,
I guess that even I didn't know what I was getting us all into when we started this, but that's NOLA for you. You two are going to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will rival anything you ever anticipated!
Just be sure to get your license in time, and get ready for the patry of your life!!

There ya go. ;)

[withbellson]

Well, thank you Reverend Bohn! You are all already so special to us... we feel the LOVE! We are listening to The Dirty Dozen right now, to get in the feeling mood. Tina says, "I am a victim of circumstance... joy, joy, joy, joy" and our cheeks hurt from smiling so much!!!!!!!!!!!

We are already in y'alls debt, because you want to shower those special moments upon us :)

This will be my tenth JF and I already know it will be my best ever and one we will both never forget! Tina, especially, since it is her first and she so looks forward to being "de-virginized" and becoming a true "thread-head".

We are camping at St. Bernard State Park and want our Friday night to be a special night with each other, but thereafter we welcome everyone to come share our campfire and hospitality the rest of the weekend. Please party with us...bonfire, libations, jamming, singing and Dionystic revelry for the rest of the weekend!!!!

We cannot wait to meet all you very cool folks! :)

What time is th ceremony?

[neverleft]

Here's a picture of last years wedding couple. I like the fact that they're carrying beers. As they walked by everybody cheered.

[Frosty]

Are you kidding me???? No one brought this up to you yet???
Look here....http://www.tonylovestina.com/

See post # 5 in this thread. I honestly thought this was a promo by the cast or something at first.

PS: just heard Going to the Chapel by the Dixie Cups here at work. A great one for the wedding CD.

[Festngator]

Tony or tina email me an address Festngator @ aol

[withbellson]

The time of the ceremony is 11 am or shortly afterward.

[Carolina Beadhead]

my email address is tinamariemalloy@yahoo.com or if you mean street address: ***

<mama voice> Honey, I don't think it's such a good idea to put your street address on a public forum. You might want to edit your post and take it out. Festngator will email you for it.
</mama voice>

[withbellson]

How can I edit it and get it off?

[rosetree]

How can I edit it and get it off?

Go back to your original post and click on the Edit button and then make your changes. Then hit the Save button to keep what you want!...Easy,peasy, lemon squeezey.;)

[withbellson]

I guess in my excitement I wasn't thinking.

[withbellson]

I looked at your site and you make really beautiful glassware, please don't make ours that pretty or I can't bring myself to break it.

[withbellson]

How come your says your a senior member and I'm just a junior member?

[Lester_leaps_in]

Tina -

Your member status depends on how many posts you've made to the bored.

[withbellson]

I didn't know, I thought maybe I'm a second class citizen on here

[withbellson]

How do you put your pic on here

[Zydekitten]

How do you put your pic on here
Hi, Tina -

What you need to do is create an account at a free online graphics hosting site (like Flickr or Photobucket, most of us use Photobucket) and then upload any graphics (photos, clip art, etc.) to it.

From there in your Forum profile settings, you can copy and paste the URL for your chosen picture in Photobucket to the Avatar field. However, it does need to be a certain size to work (80 x 80 pixels and less then 19 kbs).

If you have any additional questions or need further assistance - please feel free to let me know at red_beansandrice@yahoo.com (I'm a tech support person in my non-Jazzfest life) - I'm happy to help!

:D

[pokerchick66]

How come your says your a senior member and I'm just a junior member?

When you make 100 posts you become a SENIOR member. You'll be there in no time, withbellson! ;)

[rosetree]

I looked at your site and you make really beautiful glassware, please don't make ours that pretty or I can't bring myself to break it.

Yours won't be quite that beautiful! It will have to be real thin so when you step on it, it will break. Most people use light bulbs. The ones on my site are pretty thick to get the layers of colors. I can make it one color if you like.

A friend of mine made the one that Mrs. RT and I stepped on. He was not a good glassblower, but a famous artist who paints on glass. He wanted to make the glass for us. He worked all day long trying to get a glass that was "good enough" by his standards, and thin enough to break. I will cherish the thought of him trying his damndest to make something that we would destroy later....

[ozzie]

You're a good egg Rosie!

[ozzie]

tina, I think that was a joke-registering at the cd tent! ;)

Bloody good idea though!

[ohio]

The time of the ceremony is 11 am or shortly afterward.Which day?

[rosetree]

Which day?

I think they said second Friday....

[ozzie]

Tony and Tina. If you would like some film of the happy event, maybe alert the local news stations of your plans! So sorry we won't be there to help you celebrate... but p'raps we'll see the news footage on youtube. Cheers :D

[withbellson]

The wedding will be on Friday, May 4th at 11:00 am

[withbellson]

That's interesting about the glass, I didn't even think about it needing to be thin. We like green if you can do it please.

[tangledupinblue]

So where is the tent usually set up? Anyone know? I will be at this beautiful ceremony for sure....With champagne in hand, for sure!!!

Amy, I will bring you some champagne while you are working baby!!

[withbellson]

Rev. Bohn will unite us under a grove of oak trees near the LA folklife village on Friday, May 4th a little after 11am. He also said he may be able to get a local news station to film the event for broadcast... (and hopefully get us a copy too ;)

Thank you for your warm thoughts Ozzie. We plan to go back to JF each and every year for our anniversary, so perhaps we can meet you in the future! Thanks for your nice wishes :)

Hey Festngator... one of Oz's classic old rock bands AC/DC have a song called TNT! Pretty hard rocking but maybe include it on the CD.

Yeah, unfortunately I won't be able to witness the wedding either, as I too will be working at Mz. Lena's . . . but I'll be there in spirit, wishing you well! :)

[withbellson]

Hey guys,

I came up with TnT and immediately thought of JJ from Good Times...we're DYNOMITE!!! We'd love to have that on your comp. ;) Also, if you can find it we would love "If You were a Bluebird" by Joe Ely (written by Butch Hancock). That's the song I plan to sing to Tina at our wedding!!!

Luv you guys,
Tony

OK if you have suggestions please email a mp3 file of the song for what appears to be a 4 or 5 cd set ( Dixie Cups would be helpful)

[swag]

MOFRO does a good cover of the Good Times theme song.

[swag]

And <checking cubes> based on the location of the ceremony, I think the wedding music will be provided by the Lost Bayou Ramblers.

[festivalgirl]

I'll bet you do, but I think that's a jewish trad? I'm game for just about anything.

technically it is a jewish trad but my grandmother told me it was supposed to be the worst thing that happened to you in life so i'm sure it works for everyone! although, breaking a rosetree glass would be pretty bad ;)

[rosetree]

Nah, I break them all of the time! ;)

[festivalgirl]

Nah, I break them all of the time! ;)

how many times have you been married? ;)

[withbellson]

Anyone else love the Moon Man? He's the REAL thing! I know him and word is that he sought out Son House in a rest home in Philly and learned his Delta licks, slide stylie..

Ken Burns' "History of the Blues" suggests that Son House was Robert Johnson's mentor. The time Robert went away and supposedly sold his soul to the devil and came back with an incredible talent.

We are new to this chat site and this should probably be a new thread, but I am just rambling now.

Tony

[sophisticated sissy]

You mean John Mooney? If so, yes, I love his work!

Don't mean to be contrary, but, if I'm not mistaken, I believe it was in Rochester, NY where Mr. Mooney sought out Son House. He slept on the front porch until Mr. House agreed to accept him as a student. I think John Mooney was about 15 years old at the time.

I've had the pleasure of enjoying John Mooney's gifts on guitar going back to the 70s, when he played regularly in a small downtown bar called the Firebarn Tavern in Syracuse, NY. His music is a total joy to me.

I'd never before heard the tale of the connection between Robert Johnson and Son House, but it sure sounds interesting!

[festbabe]

Not a bad idea registering at Miss Lena's beer register. Didn't think of that one myself. We are going to have so much fun. We're having Tshirts made with our photo and Tony & Tina on the front and on the back Jazz Fest date and on our butts it'll say Just Married. I'll wear bells on my tennis shoes and he'll wear a whistle hanging from his belt, you'll have to guess the rest. Don't it sound like a hoot!!!!

What a hoot! I'll keep my eyes out for y'all! Congratulations!

[withbellson]

SophSis,

Of course, that's who I refer to. I know his bio says he is from Rochester, but my best friend Dana Kirkwood (Hogmire) went to high school with John in Honeyoid (sp?) Falls, NY and he later moved to Rochester.

I may be mistaken about Philly, but it wasn't in Rochester that he sought out Son (at least that was my understanding). It is semantics anyway...

Dana was a couple years behind Mooney in hs and he called John's group of friends "the Digits", b/c John always had his guitar across his back, saying "Dig it" as in the beatnic era...

But yes, Mooney was about 15 when he ran across Son House.

The Ken Burns doc featured about 5 seconds of Son House playing and said it was the only known footage of him. I immediately recognized the sound and first thought "Damn, he sounds just like Mooney". Of course, I immediately realized I had it backwards, but the similarity was unmistakeable!! NO ONE has that sound other than the Moon Man. If I get another chance I'll pin down John on the matter.

Did you see John at JF after he missed his 20th straight year there due to his addiction? When he came back I estimate there were 50,000 people in front of that small stage! He came out and sang "Sacred Ground" and kissed the stage and said how happy he was to be back in NO!

Then something really remarkable happened. He finished his set and was halfway down the gangplank from the stage with his handlers and he started fighting them and ran back to the stage. He said, "I have do one more for chiilin'.." The crowd went absolutely ballistic! He then performed 3 more songs.

I am sure you know the tight scheduling at JF and no one does encores, but he got away with it. I was so special, I will never forget it.

Anyway, I gush...

Tony

[sophisticated sissy]

YYR, it was really special! An unforgettable performance at Jazz Fest by a true bluesman.

The last time I talked to him was outside Mid-City Lanes Rock 'N Bowl during J.F. '05. He was standing there with Jimmy Thackery and I got a chance to say hello to them.

One nite at Rock 'N Bowl, it was packed and I was watching JM during a beautiful solo. I noticed he looked down at the stage and started shaking his head and grinning ear to ear. I couldn't figure out why until I stood way up on my tip-toes and craned my neck.

At his feet, a chick in a black mini dress was worming her way across the stage on her belly to get to the Ladies' Room. She had been bowling and the place was packed all the way back past the bar, so she was taking a little shortcut! The whole band was cracking up, but they never missed a beat!

Anyway, he is one of those big-hearted performers I never get tired of seeing!

[rosetree]

how many times have you been married? ;)

Once and only once to a very wonderful woman!!!
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q98/rosetreeglass/love.gif

[withbellson]

That's great that you saw that MM encore performance as well! Maybe I even saw you there, I was very close to the stage :) I think it was 2001 (?). I love Jim Thackery...have some of his stuff, but never seen him live :(
I haven't been to JF since 2002. Looking forward to an awesome redo this year and we really want to meet you there as well!!

I enjoyed your story of the bathroom slither ;) I saw Ronnie Dawson at JF. My friend Dana and I became pretty close friends with him and his wife Chris, and even hung out at their house in Dallas and at private affairs with them a few times before his untimely demise.

Music is truly my religion! Rock on...

[Festngator]

one of the shows I am sending is the 04 Jf set of john mooney, Which I listen to part of yesterday. Not sure if the last 3 songs are on it.

[glinda]

Well I've never heard John Mooney but after reading these stories I'm off to see when & where he's playing!

[Mardigrasbaby35]

Well I've never heard John Mooney but after reading these stories I'm off to see when & where he's playing!

hey glinda - on an off subject, has anything arrived in the mail yet?

[Zbonnie]

Well I've never heard John Mooney but after reading these stories I'm off to see when & where he's playing!Glinda, I'm ASTONISHED! You've been to NOLA numerous times, right, and YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF JOHN MOONEY?!?!?!?! He's one of those people that I HAVE to catch every time I'm down there, or my trip just isn't complete!

[withbellson]

I am so looking forward to Jazz Fest with each day that passes only 28 days to go!!! Tony is pretty excited as well!!! I don't know when I've been this excited before...it's better than Christmas!!!

[withbellson]

Well I've never heard John Mooney but after reading these stories I'm off to see when & where he's playing!

John Mooney is performing at the Southern Comfort Blues Tent on Sunday, April 29th from 2:40 to 3:40. I am immensely disappointed that we can only go the second weekend. This years entire lineup is the best I have ever seen. I had originally intended to go to MerleFest in NC this year for the first time until I saw the JF schedule! I will also be missing Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams, Richie Havens, Bonnie Raitt, Marcia Ball, and Rosie Ledet ...<big SIGH> I didn't see my favorite cajun band (Balfa Toujours) anywhere on the schedule this year or did I just overlook them?

Tony

[2ForTheFest]

Congrats to Tony and Tina! Hoping to catch the ceremony!

[withbellson]

Thanks maybe we'll see you there.

[glinda]

Glinda, I'm ASTONISHED! You've been to NOLA numerous times, right, and YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF JOHN MOONEY?!?!?!?! He's one of those people that I HAVE to catch every time I'm down there, or my trip just isn't complete!
Heard of him, oh yes, but just never heard him play. And, darn it, I'll be at fest 2nd weekend, so I'll miss him there this year. Is he playing any night time shows (I couldn't find any)?

Oh, and BTW, congrats to Tony & Tina (saw the play in Chicago), hope to make it to your wedding!!!

[glinda]

hey glinda - on an off subject, has anything arrived in the mail yet?
Hi Jena, nope not yet. But then Chicago mail delivery was recently rated the worst in the country, so no surprise there. Will let you know soon as its here!

[sophisticated sissy]

Well, glinda, we'll just sit tight & keep our fingers crossed. Maybe something will show up on his schedule for 2nd weekend. We can always hope.

His web site is showing him @ the Cook Convention Center in Memphis on 5-10-07, and @ the Western Maryland Blues Fest in Hagerstown, MD on 6-2-07.

After that, it looks like he's off to Sweden & Ottowa. He'll be in Montana and at the Telluride Blues Fest later in the summer.

For more info, go to: www.johnmooneylive.com

[withbellson]

Oh by all means Tony and I want yiou to try your best to be at the wedding, it's going to be wonderful and we want to meet and party with as many fellow JF folks as possible!!!!!!

[withbellson]

John "Moon Man" Mooney's site www.johnmooneylive.com does indicate he met Ed "Son" House in Rochester, so I was mistaken. I am going to start a new thread on Mooney. Also see the article at www.bluesaccess.com/No_40/mooney.html. He has out a relatively new album "Big 'Ol Fiya" which you can find at the CD tent at JF.

I envy all of you who get a chance to see this Delta blues master the first weekend of Jazz Fest!

Cheers!

[withbellson]

Don't know that term yet, obviously a NOLA thing. I assume it means party? Anyone care to enlighten us?

Laissez le bon ton roulet~

It's a Threadhead thing from the old "bored" (board) where one could not edit posts. So there was a quite long list of humourous mispellings that occurred, usually when the writer was a little [ahem] impaired ;), and the new versions stuck with us.

"Patry" for party is one of those.

There is a whole Threadhead dictionary around here somewhere -- I will see if I can hunt it up.

It doesn't matter, t'N t...I'm just happy to meet another music lover. :)

[withbellson]

Thanks Fred for the info, we will definitely see Lucinda at I-fest!!! We luv you guys :) And thanks Sissy we really love you too!!!

Peace~

[sophisticated sissy]

Love to you two as well!
It's so fun that you are palnning to be wed at Jazz Fest! I hope I can make it to the ceremony. Just as a warning, though, don't let us find out where you are spending your honeymoon.
We might then be obliged to throw together a little, impromptu charivari! :)
Best wishes to you both!

[withbellson]

What do you mean by your last message? We're a fun loving couple and like surprises to a certain extent, great conversation and fun times...we really want cornbread (beau jocque)!!! Sorry we're just being silly, we have been having such a good time on here and with each other planning our trip to NOLA. Can't get enough corn bread...with honey on it!!!

[sophisticated sissy]

A charivari is an old custom where people gather outside the place where a newly wedded couple is staying and "serenade" them. It usually involves banging pots together and ringing bells and is quite noisy! When my mother and father were married, my father took great pains to make sure no one found out where they were spending their wedding night.

[withbellson]

Y'all can Chivalri us all u want 2 :) We want to share the experience!! We luv you strange friends we have never met, okay?

We are camping at St. Bernard State Park and plan to entertain anyone and everyone who dares to make it to our campsite. We guarantee we can dish it out more than you can give.. .

It's all BETTER than good!!!

with much love and friendship~

[ozzie]

AC/DC's TNT is winging it's way to you Festngator!

[Corona]

Hi there. I'm new on here. My name is Tina and my groom to be is Tony and we plan to be married on May 4th at Jazz Fest in New Orleans at 11:00 am. We are very excited and would like to invite everyone to witness our special day!!!
wow! I finally had time to read this whole thread and my heart is smiling :) Watching TnT bond with everyone on here was soooo cool! I'm gonna try real hard to come by the wedding too. You guys sound like a blast and your vibe is so happy and positive. I'm looking forward to meeting you both! Congratulations on what's going to be a most amazing experience! Welcome to this wonderful group of freaks..you guys fit in PERFECTLY ;) :)

[RevDon]

I've written to TnT off the bored about their ceremony, but I thought I'd throw this out to the TH Nation: Let's do something special for their ceremony as a group. I recently did a wedding where the attendants played "Here Comes the Bride" on kazoos. Maybe something like that? Waddayathink?

[Belle]

If ya wanna do that and since I won't be in town anymore...I will buy the really fun colored plastic ones and give them to someone (who?) over first weekend. That will be my contribution. I'll keep one and kazoo along at the correct time!!

[withbellson]

Friends,

My last wife and I had kazoos which everyone played to "Here comes the bride" when we were married... I want absolutely no rememberences of that ill-fated venture!!!

Little plastic harmonicas would be very cool tho ;)

Tone

[Corona]

good save Tony!!!

[withbellson]

Rev. Don,

We didn't realize this was the first TH wedding, we are SO HONORED!!!! I am sure you are already working on it, but Tina requests that you try to get the TV crew to record our wedding!!! She contacted 2 NO publications yesterday to try and get them to cover it as well. OffBeat was one she contacted. She hasn't notified the Picayune yet, but will :)

To Swag,

Tina serendipitously found your website and y'all caused all this to start rolling... It is beyond our wildest imagination!!! We are SO in LOVE and we love you guys too! Swag, Tina and I have already decided that when we meet you, you are going to get two big sloppy kisses on your cheeks simultaneously from us both (so be forewarned)!!! We need someone to take a pic of that special moment :)

Also, since we cannot bring our video camera we thought we would bring about 5 disposable cameras to capture our wedding. Can we get 5 TH's to volunteer to take pics with our cameras???

Tina and I planned to come to JF alone to get married by a minister. We were wondering if we needed "a" witness... now it appears that a hundred of our finest new friends will be there to witness this event. I truly makes me tear up!

We LOVE you guys!!!

[stlbarb]

I think so. I understand they have a chapel or something of that nature (probably a tent) set up for weddings! We are closing on our new house on the 30th and then heading to NOLA to get hitched!!! We are so in love we don't know what to do with ourselves!!!

there is a small wooden stage - sort of gazebo style but more rustic. a lovely spot for a wedding.

11 am is ambitious. i think the gates open around 10:45 and it can sometimes take a while to get in. Don is very familiar with arriving early - i'm sure he'll walk you through it all. but if others plan to be there at 11, they probably need to be in line by 10:30.

[withbellson]

We'll shoot for 11 but if we see there aren't many there then we'll wait a while longer. We are just so happy that everyone has taken an interest in our plunge into life together. I want as many TH's there as possible, we are just so happy to share the event with everyone and that all seem to be so happy for us. We talked last night and decided that we are happier to do this than be with our families. No one on Tony's side seems to be that happy for us. My family is soooo happy, they say "take her, marry her"!!!! haha!!!

[funkkjunkie]

Good point, barb, and sometimes the gates dont' open until 11. So i guess the wedding will be as close to 11 as possible, eh?

[withbellson]

I'm going to bring a little wedding cake so everyone can have at least a bite!!!!

[pokerchick66]

lol, you sound so cute, Tina. I would love to attend your wedding but I'm sorry to say I won't be able to get there until around 3:30 or 4 that afternoon. Will yall still be there around then? If so, where? I would love to come and give you both best wishes. And maybe a lagniappe or two. ;)

[withbellson]

We'll be there all weekend...I'll have to ask Tony where we'll be at 5 pm that'll give you time to get settled in...but whats a lag what? I forgot how to spell it You are welcome to come and party with us at our campground on Sunday night...We're going to try to get on one of those river cruise boats on Saturday, neither one of us have been on one. But yes your right though...My initials originally were TC that's when I was "too cute", and then changed to TM because I was just "too much" then it changed to TG cuz I was just "too gorgeous" now and the FINAL change is TF because this is just "too fantastic" for words. haha!!! Can't wait to meet cha!!!

[pokerchick66]

Well, the formal definition of a lagniappe is "Chiefly Southern Louisiana and Southeast Texas, a small gift given with a purchase to a customer, by way of compliment or for good measure; bonus." It really means to give or get a little something extra.

However, the lagniappe I'm talking about is a small gift or token that Threadheads like to exchange when we see each other every year at Jazzfest. Some threadheads bring pins, some bring little hot sauces, some bring nametags, some bring lip balm, travel-size tissues, toilet seat covers, cds, beers, etc. I'm not telling what I'm bringing; it's a surprise. You just bring whatever you feel like bringing or you don't have to bring anything at all. Do whatcha wanna. It's just a little tradition that the Threadheads have.

If I see you, I will give you one.

Also, you should post yall's picture here. I would love to see a picture of the two of you. :)

[withbellson]

NO expression meaning a little something extra. Like a bakers dozen (13 or more!) In regards to the previous message it probably means a gift!

On Friday, May 4th we plan "cubris hubris" to be watching the dirty dozens at 4pm at the Congo Square stage and then probably ZZ Top at 5:30 at the Acura stage.

We will be the couple in Mickey Mouse hats with t-shirts with our pic on the front that says "Tina and Tony". On the back it will say, "Just Married. Jazz Fest. May 4, 2007". Also, I will have a whistle on a string hanging from the front of my shorts with a sign that says, "Blow Me!"

Stop by to meet us and give us a whistle!!! ;)

Tony

[withbellson]

Glad you told me about the token gift, we didn't know anything about it...sounds cute though. I LOVE surprises!!!! I would love to post a pic but we don't know how to. We could send it to you by email if you can help us post it or tell us what to do?

Damn, you guys are the perfect match here too!!!

[Lester_leaps_in]

Do we know where yet?

[rosetree]

Tina, you might want to let everyone know the location. The other thread has it located at the Oak Tree at LA Folklife Village. Is this between Fais Do Do stage and the record tent?

Lester...this was on page one......
TnT, is this still right???

[withbellson]

Absolutely right, I need to go back thru the bored and count how many people have said they're coming. I hope everybody will try.

[withbellson]

I went to photbucket and flickr and resized our photo appropriately, but it will still not upload. Caroline offered to help and I sent her the pic. Hopefully, it will be up soon!

Tony

[withbellson]

This is really just a bump, but I hope you enjoy it anyway:

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the Light

I saw the Light, I saw the Light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the Light

Just like a blind man, I wandered alone
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man who God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the Light

I saw the Light, I saw the Light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the Light

I was a fool to wander and stray
For straight is the gate and narrow's the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the Light

I saw the Light, I saw the Light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the Light

Tina and I (more me than she) were lost, but we finally discovered our true love in each other. And now we've found our home here as well :)

[grisgris]

Dear Tina & Tony I am adding you wedding date (soon to be you anniv. date) to the high holy day calender. Looking so forward to meeting yall & spending some time with yall on your very special day.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Tina/Tony Have you been known to shoot shots of Agave at 11AM. If not, are you willing? I have several plastic shot glasses left over from last year that I need help getting rid of. Any help will do. :)

[mdfest]

Next time i get married, it will either be at Fest or on an island.

[withbellson]

GrisGris,

What is the high holy day calendar? Whatever it is we want to be on it!!!!

And to our Friend Fred,

We plan to start our Friday morning with bloody mary's and we plan to get married with full beers in our hand! So a little agave will probably hit the right spot, although we may forget our wedding vows...luckily we will write them down since we'll be slaggered ;)

love & peace~

[RevDon]

OK, no kazoos, and it takes some talent and practice to play harp, (even little ones!) So I'm going to try to enlist one of the marching brass bands during the 1st weekend. I can't say that I'll be successful, but maybe if they got a lot of persuasion, they MIGHT show up? TH power might help.

Hey, you Krazy Kids . . . Miss Caroline might be real busy with family stuff this holiday weekend, if you want send me your photo at red_beansandrice@sbcglobal.net and I'd be happy to resize it for avatar usage (I've done it for several other Threadhead folk) and I'd be happy to do that (if nothing else) for you - as I won't be able to come and celebrate your wedding (as I'm volunteering at Ms. Lena's beverage tent)!!!

:D

[withbellson]

If you won't come to us...we'll come to you...Ms. Lena's is our beer stop of choice...as we understand it...it's a must stop beer joint for TH's...so we'll see you there for sure...where should I send the photo for your assistance?

Tony and I went out dancing last night, he said he doesn't dance but he was a dancing fool last night...at any given moment I would turn around and he was grinding with a little old lady about 75 or in the middle of 4 blondes!!! He's so much fun to be with...we ran into some friends + one old girlfriend and we just had a blast together...I do believe we were OFFICIALLY slaggered!!!!

Tina & Tony, I am the keeper of high holidays of the Threadheads, this meaning birthdays. Let me bump up the Birthday Thread for you. But I think the first Threadhead wedding day already has been added to my calender. Can't wait to meet yall & celebrate your special day with yall.

[withbellson]

Well Tony's birthday is Feb. 13th and mine is January 31st. We are honored to be on the holy calendar as well as our wedding ceremony. We can't wait to meet you all!!!

[withbellson]

Tony and I spent our first Easter together with his family in Houston. Grandma who is 92 years old, a charming old soul who only fell down once but it was in the grass and she is just fine. I met Tony's mom today and I'm not sure how she felt about me, or me about her...she seems to be in the distance from everyone else...she seemed more concerned about her dog, Peppermint than anyone else...some said she just stopped by out of couriousity about me...who knows. We spent the day entertaining his kids...Helen, 15 yrs, Sunny, 4 yrs, and Anton (T5) almost 2 yrs. They must have hid the eggs 3 times and hunted them afterward. I baked beans East Texas Style and all seemed to love them...one person had 4 helpings and his spouse said it was to punish her later. Isn't it a hoot to meet the new family??? Haha!!! Quiet time tonight is especially inviting!!! Nothing like getting to meet the new fam!!! Haha!!! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday...25 days and counting down to the big day!!!

[RevDon]

Calling all cowbell artistes' and musicians.
OK, I've become intrigued with doing a cowbell wedding march: Walken meets Wagner. So, the issues that would confront such an endeavor are:
#1. Are cowbells tunable?
#2. If they are, how many notes do we need to do "The Wedding March?'
#3. How would we get a bunch of Thread Heads to the point of actually being able to play it?
#4. Does anyone have Christopher Walken's Email address?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Let the madness continue!

Hey TH's,

Many, many thanks to Carolina Beadhead and Zydekitten for assisting us in getting our photo up. Apparently, I have CRS - computer retarded syndrome ;)

Also, as we already mentioned, we love the Moooore Cowbelllll idea (thanks again Rev!!!). I looked at the cowbell site and it seems extravagantly expensive to buy 100 small cowbells (for around $10 each). Maybe we can find cheaper ones or anyone who wants to can bring their own. Hopefully a threadhead in time can solve this one also :)

btw approximately how many TH's should we expect to be at JF the second weekend, b/c we want to bring some Lagniappe gifts ourselves? We have not gone back and counted, but it appears that at least 50 and probably closer to 100 folks from here already plan to attend the "Tina and Tony Jazz Fest Wedding!" :)

You guys are the greatest!! We were very happy before we got on this site, but we are ecstatic beyond our wildest dreams now :) We originally thought it would just be us two, the Rev. and perhaps Swag and look what it has become.

Christopher Walken may even come now :0 and btw Rev. who is Chris Rose?

TnT - Madly in Love and apparently VERY contagious!!!!!!!

We love you guys!!!

You guys are the greatest!! We were very happy before we got on this site, but we are ecstatic beyond our wildest dreams now :) We originally thought it would just be us two, the Rev. and perhaps Swag and look what it has become.

Christopher Walken may even come now :0 and btw Rev. who is Chris Rose?

TnT - Madly in Love and apparently VERY contagious!!!!!!!

We love you guys!!!
Nice pic you guys...way to go CBH
We're gonna try to make the wedding but there's a conflict with one of the bands my newbies wanna see at the blues tent (gotta cater to the newbies for their first day of fest).....if I can't make it, I'll definitely be there in spirit and want to see those pics!!! You guys would have a blast whether it's 10 peeps or a 100 peeps! You're getting married at Jazz Fest! Wahooo!

[NYMAMA]

Great pic withbells. I am bumed :( I thought your wedding was the 1st weekend. I guess I won't make the wedding Oh well many congrats anyway.

[withbellson]

Thanks for the nice pic comment. We smile like that out of true love for one another!!! It's truly a great feeling!!! We've run into a few friends and some family lately that have been uncomfortable with our happiness and I've discussed with Tony that they are jealous of our exuding expression of joy and somehow make me feel as though we must apologize for it...but we agreed we shouldn't have to!!! So there you have it and there you go!!!

[withbellson]

Pleeeze try to make it just for 20 minutes, we promise to make it as short as possible...then we'll hook up with everyone all over the place I'm quite sure. We've become attached to so many of you already...and your one of the main ones. Did I say Pleeeze??? Explain that I'm a newbie too and maybe they'll find the time to stop and smell our roses??? So to speak! If not...then I understand but know that we'll meet at some point in the weekend. Just listen for our bells!

[withbellson]

Sorry you won't make the wedding...we discussed building a website when we get back to post the Tony and Tina's Wedding pics and begin our life together. My 10 yr old grandson is a film maker and we have quite a few funny videos to post also.

[withbellson]

Wish you could be there to share the special occasion. We'll be thinking of you at the time....we still need more cowbell!!!

[Staxsun]

My wife, Eileen, and I found each other after many years of being single adults. Neither of us had ever been married before. We have similar reactions from people. They just don't believe that we can truly be that happy. I think many people are jaded by their own experiences or think that we are just naive. We wish you much luck! I'm very sorry that I will only be in New Orleans until Thursday morning of the week'tween. I would love to be at your wedding. When you look back twenty years from now I hope you are as happy, or happier, than you are at this moment.

[RevDon]

Hey TH's,

Many, many thanks to Carolina Beadhead and Zydekitten for assisting us in getting our photo up. Apparently, I have CRS - computer retarded syndrome ;)

Also, as we already mentioned, we love the Moooore Cowbelllll idea (thanks again Rev!!!). I looked at the cowbell site and it seems extravagantly expensive to buy 100 small cowbells (for around $10 each). Maybe we can find cheaper ones or anyone who wants to can bring their own. Hopefully a threadhead in time can solve this one also :)

Hey TnT,

I bumped the Chris Rose thread for you, and for the rest of you TH's, I had a look on ebay, and there are lots of cowbells there!

[withbellson]

Rev.

I finally got over to the Chris Rose thread and added a message for you there.

Have a wonnerful day!

[withbellson]

This is Tony. I understand if you cannot make the wedding, but tell us where we can meet up with you (Lena's?). I will be sorely disappointed if I don't get to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[withbellson]

Did anyone happen to notice yet that I am wearing a Jazz Fest t-shirt in our photo??? That pic was taken several months ago by my 4 year old daughter Sunnie Rae and we have thought that was the best photo of us two for some time.... Coincidence that I happened to be wearing a JF shirt? I think NOT!!! ;)

[grisgris]

Tony & Tina you have been added to the high holiday calender. So looking foward to meeting you both on your special day.

[Corona]

Pleeeze try to make it just for 20 minutes, we promise to make it as short as possible...then we'll hook up with everyone all over the place I'm quite sure.

okay kids, I'm gonna try and talk to them and see if we can work it out. I'll be at the meet up at Ms. Lena's for about 15 minutes Friday...then I gotta book outta there to catch my baby...Ivan for 2:05 :)

[rosetree]

T&T....Are you entering the Sauvage St. entrance???? I'm trying to figure out how to get your glass to you. If you come in there, you will pass right by my booth and we can make a hand-off. If not, let's make a different plan...

[withbellson]

Guys,

Okay Queen Corona, we will honor you with our presence at Lena's from 1:45 to 2:00 on Friday, before you go hump the Dumpstaphunk ;)

Rosetree, I haven't been to JF in a few, but I usually come in the main (?) entrance behind the Jazz and Gospel tents, so we should probably easily be able to stop by on the way to the LA Folklife area!

btw we purchased one of your bowls on the raffle and again we prefer the color green...I guess you won't be able to make the wedding then... :(
You will be greatly missed!

[swag]

The entrance by the Tents will have you walking right by him.

That is the Sauvage st entrance. You will walk/run right past @ 11:00 when the gates open. I was going to try and make it, I just have to see if I have someone with me to watch the booth. There is a small chance that I can get there. I think it will be a hoot!

[withbellson]

We really hope you can make it!!! We hope everyone on here can be there!!! Still counting the days!

[TheGuzilla]

that is so very cool and warmest Jazz Fest wedding wishes upon you all. My wife and I met at Jazz Fest 8 years ago, go every year, and are renewing our vows that night in a costume ceremony at the bar we first started talking in. We would invite you, but we're sure you have plans for your wedding night! :)

will definitely look for you, and come say hi to us as well! here's our flag:

[withbellson]

We'll definately be at Ms. Lenas to meet you all with bells on (literally)!!!!

Hmmmmnnnn... I'm thinking you look a little like ChrisTINA Ricci! Should I let the tabloids know about the impending nuptuals?

[withbellson]

Wish you were coming with us too!!!

[TheGuzilla]

That's awesome. We plan to go back every year also to celebrate our anniversary!!! Will you be there for our wedding at 11 'ish? Hope you can make it...we'll be looking for you

we will definitely swing by! and look for us around the Fairgrounds as well...

Countin' the minutes, darlin'!

[TheGuzilla]

Congrats to you guys too! Sounds like fun... enjoy! :D

thanks for the well wishes... Our gathering will be at midnight on Saturday and a costume ceremony. Anyone interested in attending, feel free to ping me privately! (I am new here - I think there's that functionality, yes?)

I would post more about it, but if there's one thing I've learned it's that Jazz Fest is the greatest thing ever. Well, I guess there's two things I've learned: "Never steal a bride's thunder." And this is Tony n' Tina's day!

but all are welcome to our little freak show as well... ;)

[withbellson]

Guzilla,

Is your patry Friday or Saturday? You are right that we have intiment plans for Friday night, but would love to come to your patry if it is Sat. night. What bar will it be at?

[TheGuzilla]

Party starts at midnight of Saturday night / Sunday morning May 5/6, so if you're free, absolutely swing on by! But I have to remind, it is a COSTUME party and costumes are required! (As one of my buddies always says, "A mask is not a costume...")

My wife & I met at Rock n' Bowl during Jazz Fest 8 years ago, but we first really started talking at Johnny White's Hole-in-the-Wall in the Quarter, so we're having the costume vow renewal ceremony in the courtyard there.

All (costumed) welcome!

Sounds like a blast! We'll be half way across the pond at that time... but will surely have a glass raised in your honour! Please post some pics.

[withbellson]

Ok, in addition to our otherwise long list of things to do, we will try to muster up "real" costumes as well!! What cross streets in the Quarter is White's Hole-in-the-wall located? Congrats in advance on y'alls 8th anniversary and happy festing.

btw in case you haven't read through this entire thread, we are getting married at about 11:10 at a grove of trees between the LA Folklife area and the Fais do-do stage. We would luv for y'all to be there if you can make it :)

[withbellson]

Arrgh, luv your flag also. A bit of a pirate myself ;) If we don't see ya at the wedding or at the meet and greets at Lena's, then we will try to hunt down your flag.

[TheGuzilla]

Johnny White's is really a compound of 3 bars: Johnny White's, the Hole-in-the-Wall, and Johnny White's Sports Bar. We will be at the Hole-in-the-Wall which is 718 Bourbon @ Orleans. Hope to see you!

And we are definitely planning on attending your wedding, hangovers permitting. ;-) Otherwise, definitely do come say hi under our flag!

Ozzie - Safe travels and rest assured, we'll post pics!

[withbellson2]

I had my purse stolen on Saturday night...and since then have been trying to locate it...it's gone...no police dept. report or anything...I panicked when I realized it takes 30 days to get a new DL and we've been trying for 2 days to get it replaced for the wedding...the DOT is not at all helpful!!! I started to cry but Tony said he would take of it...we've spent 4 hrs. over the last 4 days trying to expedite the process. I know I am a bridezilla but I can't help it!!! We're working on all the plans, but could still use all the support we can muster...we wrote our vows tonight and Rev. Don called us...I was so excited while Tony talked to him he thought I would jump out of my chair...I'm feeling a little uncertain...not about the wedding just about life in general...I would love to hear from my newbie found buddies....

[Corona]

breathe, breathe, breathe.....then problem solve slowly.....I'm canadian so I'm not sure how that stuff works for you guys in the states..the only advice I can offer you is to breathe and focus on the problem at hand...one step at a time okay? Good luck!

[swag]

If you have a passport, that should work in place of the DL for all ID purposes. If not, I'm not sure, but it will work out somehow, I'm sure.

BTW, withbellson2? Did you lose your board login info along with your DL?

[withbellson2]

Testing, testing, 123 testing

[withbellson]

Morning all~

Tina did lose her purse and her license, (and our password) but we ordered a new one and are somewhat worried about getting the pic ID in time, but I am also sure it will work out (Thanks Swag and Corona!!).

But honestly, I think Tina was MORE worried that our thread would hit the 3rd page and dwift into oblivion... Therefore, her post was really just a shameless bump :0 as I think most of y'all already gathered.

love and peace~

[Corona]

It's all good..you can always get the thread back through the search part on this page...Now you guys just concentrate to getting what you need to get married!

[Zbonnie]

"Therefore, her post was really just a shameless bump :0 as I think most of y'all already gathered" I never thought that for one minute, but you are too funny Tony to even suggest that! Sorry, Tina, and take Corona's advice. Focus only on how things will surely turn out all right in time for your trip and not on the MF'er who stole your purse and the ensuing hassles.

[withbellson]

Thank you...and Tony shouldn't be telling on me!!! It makes me feel pitiful!!! haha! I am trying to stay focused on the tasks at hand and wish I didn't have to work all day, but what's the consequence? I would love to spend every second of every day with Tony! Now that sounds pitiful for sure! No shame here though.

[withbellson]

The hassles are ridiculous...between Tony and I we have been on the phone for 4 hrs with DOT trying to expedite the mailing of the license. We did get a chance to speak with Rev Don last night on the phone. I am just so happy!!! He seems like such a laid back cool guy!!!

[Zydekitten]

To echo Swag's earlier post - do you have a passport, Tina?? When I lost my license, it was invaluable and you can't get a more official ID in the country ;) :D

[Amyloves...]

30 days to get a new license??? That's nuts!

Sorry yall are dealing with that Tina/Tony. Yall are like the reincarnation of 2forthefest. They used to post on the same handle but you could always tell if it was the good 1/2 or the evil one! You two are too cute!

[withbellson]

Help! Help! Tony's put me in the imaginary box in the livingroom floor...can anybody help me!!! He say a TH must save me to get out!!! haha! He's the evil half!

[withbellson]

No...don't have a passport but we've established a fedex acct and are arranging to pay them to overnight it when it's ready...should be Friday they say...I'm not sure now after dealing with them for 2 days now. You must be required to have an master ijit degree to work for the State of Texas!!!

[Orleansnj]

Okay - now, forgive me, I may be a total moron - but don't you have a DMV or license agency that you can walk into? I mean, if it is digital they can compare your happy face to the happy face on their screen - right? That may be far too logical - but hell - this seems overly complicated.

Now - in Joisey - where I am presently imprisoned....(figuratively - puhleeze)....there is this 6 point ID system where you need enough points from each list - not too many points on one of the lists - and then you stand on your head, wait a while, get called to the window to explain something in black and white, then go sit and wait a while, then they call you to a new window and have you pay, go sit a while, then they call you up - snap your picture and give you your license before you ever get a chance to figure out it's time for the pic. Therefore, everyone looks like an escaped mental patient, or really, really, pissed off because they're wondering what stupid freakin' thing they're going to be asked to explain again.

On second thought - maybe Texas has it right - door to door service....hmmmm...

Thinking good thoughts for you.....it will work out okay. In a couple of years when you look back on this - it will be a really funny part of the pre-wedding jitters.

[rosetree]

Wow!!!!
When my wallet was stolen 3 weeks ago, all I had to do is walk in to the DMV and tell them that I needed a new one....15 minutes later, I walked out with a brand new one!
As for everything else in your purse...make sure that you cancel every card and make a report to Equifax to have an alert placed on your credit account. They will notify the other credit places. The alert is good for 90 days. You can then order a free report to check and see activity on your account. (this I learned from this bored when I posted in a panic like you!)
As Corona said, Breathe, breathe, breathe.....

[rosetree]

I forgot....Equifax # is 1 800 525 6285...good luck!

[sophisticated sissy]

You forgot to add in the fun part about what happens when the DMV's computer crashes.
I spent 6 hours one morning at the one on 46 in Wayne. With a 3-year old. Longest morning of my life.

[withbellson]

Yes, in the State of Texas they have to mail them to you. The DPS here takes your info and verifies that you are the person standing in front of them and they fingerprint you and take your pic. Then they send it to Austin and then they'll mail it to you in 3-6 weeks. If there are no glitches with the ijits!!! If the ijits get a wijit in their sidjit then we're screwed!!! Tony has suggested a backup plan <whispers> (he's so smart...but don't tell him I said so). We're looking toward a passport for me. Nothings gonna keep us down!!! I had to have a car key made too-has anyone else ever paid $110 for a $1.25 key. It's been a royal pain!!! I'm not bringing a purse to JF for sure!!!

But your probably all right, everything will turn out okay and it will be part of the story we tell...over and over and over again until we're butting in and finishing what they other is trying to say...my father never could stand to let my momma tell a story (she talked slow)...he would wait until he just couldn't take it and blurt out the ending...she'd get so mad at him!!! But when Tony and I are old...when he finishes my thoughts I'll just smile and feel warm and fuzzy knowing that he's in my head!!!

[withbellson]

Thanks for the advice on Eqifax.

[withbellson]

We are imprisoned in Galvatraz!!! We call it that because it's an Island and the people here tend to get real laid back and don't ever want to go anywhere. When I met Tony on myspace he wanted me to go for a walk on the beach...I told him I lived waaaaaaay out on the West end and it just wasn't possible. When he found out that was about 15 minutes away he just couldn't believe it...now he's been on the Island for a year and now he sees the mentality changes...it's far to him now too.!!! We are both IBC's (Islanders by choice).

[withbellson]

Help! Help! Tony's put me in the imaginary box in the livingroom floor...can anybody help me!!! He say a TH must save me to get out!!! haha! He's the evil half! I'm still in the box...not TH has come to my rescue????

[TheGuzilla]

well, without ID, perhaps being in The Box can help... Tony can just bring you as luggage... ;)

[glinda]

I'm still in the box...not TH has come to my rescue????
Come out, come out,
Wherever you are,
And meet the young lady

We received 35 CD's in the mail to from Festngater. Tony and I just can't believe he went thru all that trouble for us!!! We thank him with all our hearts, and will spend the next 2 yrs trying to get to listen to them all!!!

Festagater RULES !!!!

We got married in New Jersey (but walked down the aisle to "Chapel of Love" by the Dixie Cups") and honeymooned at Jazzfest. So we get to celebrate our anniversary at Fest every year, just like you will!
