Send it to my email.

counting the minutes, drinking Abita Restoration, finishing some finer costuming issues and wrapping up last minute packing needs, I remain...

your humble servant,
The Guzilla

[rosetree]

I am EGG-freakin'-austed!!!
What a great day at Rosetree!!!
Rosetreefest was a BIG success...we had a great deal of Threadheads there. Abita, Champagne, muffelattas....all gone!
We had people in all day long.
After everyone left, Mrs RT and I had to pack up all of our work and display for Jazz Fest. We set up tomorrow @ 9AM...
Barkeep: Set 'em up for da whole bar!!!;)

[tangledupinblue]

Scoop, It went GREAT!!!!
I didn't post on the Rosetreefest thread because I was hoping that some of the people who came would give their impression...I'm sure that they will once they aren't pre-occupied!;)
We had prolly 50-60 people all throughout the day...it was better than I expected...I hope that we can do it yearly!

That's so FANTASTIC!!! Like PC said, if you can do it every year it'll just get
better and better. I'm very happy for you.

[Zydekitten]

Rosetreefest was GREAT!!! :)

After a bit of an adventure driving there (Gumbo was nice enough to give me a ride) over the bridge, we got there about 11:30ish.

The gallery is a wonderful old converted movie theatre and is light and bright and full of Rosy's gorgeous glass art.

It was excellent to get to see him and his lovely wife, Brenda (Mrs. Rosetree) in their native habitat. They were both very generous, gracious and patient hosts with the most!

There was a table set up with things to nosh: muffalettas, REAL cracklins (now I know what the hooha is!), pastries and danishes. Also a variety of beverage options: bubbly, Abita (the Cajun Bubbly), orange juice, sodas, coffee, Bailey's(!).

We were able to see the storeroom/workroom as well as the firing/blowing area where the several large and extremely hot ovens are. We got to meet some of the artisans who work with Rosy (Hey, Joe!) and who help him create the beautiful glass.

There was also a great video featuring Rosy and how he creates his work that was cool to watch.

The toughest thing about the day, was choosing which glass pieces to buy (just ask the Festingators ;)) - but I'm very pleased with the ones I got!

Thanks, Rosy (you're a mensch!) and Mrs. Rosy for the perfect way to follow up the Patry and Roux Ga Roux - I not only look forward to seeing you at Fest this weekend, but also next year at the Second Annual Rosetreefest ;) :D

[pokerchick66]

Good writeup, Kitten.

I'm sitting here at work about to crawl out of my skin. This is gonna be the longest three hours of my life. Might as well start dinking!

[pokerchick66]

Hello, hello, hello . . .

[ibjamn]

I'm here & in serious pain from working today & yesterday, then going out to party every evening - not my usual M.O., I guarontee!! Miss pchickie, I would like to have a dink I had last night at Jacques Imo's (thanks to mamaroux!), a refish something. Anyway, it has crown royal, amaretto & a splash of cranberry juice. It was delish & very refreshing!

Alright missy, one Red Snapper coming up:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/monica7966/crownroyalstretch.jpg

I'm hurting but in a different way. I didn't go to sleep last night till 2 a.m. cuz I had ITETS and now I'm about to fall asleep here at my desk. The upside is that I only have 40 more minutes left till takeoff.

[ibjamn]

That's it! Red SNapper! :) Thanks, see ya this weekend!

[Zydekitten]

MMMMMM, sounds good - however, I'm having an Abita Amber after a day working at Habitat . . . good times!

Getting ready to go out to get a pedi for the weekend and then see some live, local music for tonight in Frenchmen's St. (as well as visit my good friend Matty at Jazz Emporium) - hope to see some of y'all there! ;)

I hope you feel better, Jenn!!! :D

Thank you Zkitty, and all of the other Threadheads who made it to the First Annual Rosetreefest!!!! It was truly "off da hook"!!! Brenda and I really did not know what to expect, and it far surpassed our expectations!! As I have professed on da Bored many times before, this is truly a great group of people!!!!!!!!!

[pokerchick66]

Well, I'm sitting here at mom's and it's nasty outside. Got in the car to go to Walmart and the battery is dead. Thank goodness my mom's neighbor is a mechanic. He supposed to come over here in about an hour and check it for me. In the nice weather. What a nice guy. Hope I don't have to waste money buying a new battery! Think I'm gonna pick me up some "nice weather" boots while I'm at Walmart, too.

It SUPPOSED to clear up by noon but we'll see. Man, this does suck. I wasn't gonna be able to leave to go to fest till around three today anyway but I still have to do some running around here and I very well can't do that with a dead battery, now can I? :rolleyes:

I'm glad I tried the car early this morning. At least that gives me a little time to get it fixed. Sighhh. Hey, did you read my Fantastic First Weekend thread yet? lol, you're in it. :)

[NYMAMA]

no I didn't see it .
I can't find it give it a bump will ya?

[pokerchick66]

no I didn't see it .
I can't find it give it a bump will ya?

You got it, sister.

Okay, the car has been jumped and I'm off to Walmart. Wish me luck, lol.

[pokerchick66]

Okay! I just got back from Walmart and the car is starting just fine. My mom's neighbor put water in the battery for me (I've never heard of that) and it's cranking just fine. I stopped at Walmart and the gas station with no trouble. Apparently, that was what was wrong. So now I'm about to make my Crawfish Monica and hope this inclement weather ends SOON!

Oh, and I got me some spiffy new ra*n boots from Walmart so I'm just gonna have me a good time kicking around at fest today. :D

I'm sure they're having fun. You must have had a helluva day what with the weather and all. I left the board this morning and everybody was optomistic. Sounds like it cleared up later, but not a fun morning I imagine.

[NYMAMA]

1st weekend photos are up

It was prolly the second worst weather I have ever been in a show :( The worst was a tornado :eek:
We did not lose any pieces, but we were wet, cold, soaked to the bone...not a real great day...tomorrow WILL be better....

Yuk, tomorrow MUST be better. And hopefully Rosetreefest business helped to offset today.

And if not, plunk a couple of bucks down on COWTOWN CAT in the Derby!!

Yup, after today, we were very greatful that so many Threadheads could make it out to the studio for Rosetreefest! ;)

[dumbtourist]

Hey RT, we came by this morning before starting in Ms. Lena's tent to say hi...saw Brenda, but you were heading to the beer tent...go figure.

Anyway, that was the worst weather I've ever poured beer in...we worked for 1-1/2 hrs. standing in cold water up to our knees, soaking wet...got so cold we had to give up and leave the fairgrounds or we would have ended up with hypothermia. Like you said...tomorrow WILL be better!

DT!!! Sorry I missed ya...Are you slinging beers tomorrow too??? Stop by at some point. I will try to make the meet-up, but hopefully, I will be too busy ;) :D

[Lostcajun]

Wow, it must have been a hard day for the artists. Hope tomorrow and Sunday will more than make up for today.

[dumbtourist]

RT...can't believe that you didn't lose any pieces in that wind. We had set up two of those pop-up canopies for workers to sit under, and for the cash operation...then the wind/rain came...I ran over, garbbed one of them in the center and held on for dear life...two others grabbed the other one...and in less that 5 min., both of them just snapped off...the metal actually failed. I thought we were headed for a toronado. All I could think about was your glass hitting the asphalt. We came by around 3:30 to check on you before we left, but you were buttoned up tight. Glad to know you had no damage. See you tomorrow.

[ScoopJohnD]

I read about today and I think about my last fest in O4 where they cancelled a day at about 11 and it was sunny and beautiful at noon. grrrrr.

[dumbtourist]

Scoop, it never got sunny and beautiful again today. As soon as we thought the rain was over, wam...here it came again. We saw on the news that they were able to get the main stages open again for the last acts, but many bands were cancelled. A number of food/drink booths closed early. Truthfully, with the lighting and all the standing water, it was very unsafe. One strike on the ground and it would have been a major scene. Lots of power outages throughout town, many flooded and closed roads, flooded cars, etc.

See you and ST tomorrow!

Ouch. I've been through a few bad ones there, but this sounds like the worst
(festwise). Glad no one was hurt. Here's to sun tomorrow and Sunday.

Hey Scoop...missing you dude. Sorry you couldn't make it.

[ScoopJohnD]

Well stated RT!

Hey Scoop...missing you dude. Sorry you couldn't make it.

Yeah, I'm missing it, but I've been about 7 times and I'll be back. And if I can't be there it's still great hearing bout everybody having fun.....especially the newbies.

[Amyloves...]

Ouch. I've been through a few bad ones there, but this sounds like the worst

It was the worst I've ever seen out there. The acts in the tents continued but the outdoor stages only had the first acts and then the last two I think. It was crazy! But what I love are the smiles and laughter when the r**n ends....like the people who stayed enjoy what's left twice as much.

Well todays another day and I hope you all have a great fest today!:)

[ScoopJohnD]

How's today lookin?

[NYMAMA]

Just checked the cam and it looked pretty nice there.

I talked to Ingrid Lucia last week and she said she will be playing the Rodeo Grill in NYC every other weekend in July so maybe we can all meet up there.

[ibjamn]

How's today lookin?

Sunny & hot - good-looking day, hopefully will dry out the infield a bit.

[Lostcajun]

Yall have a great time. Really missing not being there for the second weekend. Is it too early for a beer?

[ScoopJohnD]

Sunny & hot - good-looking day, hopefully will dry out the infield a bit.

WOO HOO!!

[ozzie]

Hope they didn't screw up her tickets at will call....I know that happened to me once, took quite a bit of haggling and we missed a lot of music before the tickets were discovered. And that was Pre-K.

Old news now but I'm so, so sorry I dissed WWOZ. Nothing to do with them and of course we will continue to support them. HOBastids decided our tickets weren't valid and nor was my ID for proof of purchase AFTER we were already in the Parish and enjoying ourselves. Booted my fat ass out! Didn't bother showing up for another show we had booked there. I was pretty upset at the time, but honestly... after I ranted we headed out again and had a great night.

Home now and only remembering the good stuff! Cheers!

Just like Buffett said "It's five oclock somewhere"

[ScoopJohnD]

Could I have a virtual wine and start to get virtually drunk, while I have real wine and get really drunk in real life.

Here's to the completion of a happy and fun fest.

Oh, Vance Vaucresson made the NBC Nightly News tonight. Nice story from fest. Looked like a beautiful day and Vance seems like a wonderful man and he looked busy too. :)

[ozzie]

Hey Scoop, I'll have a drink with you. I went to work this morning and it's a freakin Public Holiday here!!!! Talk about being a dumbass! Ken went up to PNG this morning so at least he's not here laughing at me.

Did you have the seafood platter? Was it good?

[rosetree]

Did you have the seafood platter? Was it good?

Of course!!!!...and it was awesome....
I also had the duck pate' appetizer and 1/2 of Brenda's crawfish and biscuit appetizer...I finished off the meal with white chocolate creme brule' :D

[tangledupinblue]

You all are eat'in pigger
See the BYC TYC thing.................tomorrow......

[tangledupinblue]

Why am I in this state? Because I saw Blue posted this.....

"I am dinkin' and still in Louisiana!" and then without looking also thought she posted this......."I'm still dinking in Louisiana, but I'm at home..."

my head hurts.

Good. Have you checked out my pix yet?

[Carolina Beadhead]

Scoop, it never got sunny and beautiful again today. As soon as we thought the rain was over, wam...here it came again. We saw on the news that they were able to get the main stages open again for the last acts, but many bands were cancelled. A number of food/drink booths closed early. Truthfully, with the lighting and all the standing water, it was very unsafe. One strike on the ground and it would have been a major scene. Lots of power outages throughout town, many flooded and closed roads, flooded cars, etc.

DT, I was standing in that water with ya at Ms Lena's and all I could think about was if we all got electrocuted, there'd be a bunch of T'heads raising cold cold beers in our honor at every fest there after.

"Here's to the Brigade! They gave their all in the name of cold beer and hot women!" :D

[tangledupinblue]

Yes, fest was a blur! Wore me out, too.

Has anybody else besides me started peeling?

[grisgris]

Yes, I be peeling on my nose. And don't forget my redneck.

[pokerchick66]

Yes, I be peeling on my nose. And don't forget my redneck.

Back and shoulders for me. That Saturday with no sunscreen killed me. Couldn't do it, though.

[ScoopJohnD]

Drinks for everyone in honor of the fact that I was able to buy 1/2 gallons of Tropicana O.J. on sale at my supermarket for $1.88 each. O.J. hasn't been that low up here for about 6 months.

WOO HOO!!!! ( it don't take much to put me in a tizzy!)

[grisgris]

Hey ScoopeyDoo! You doing Crawfish Fest this year? Can't wait to see my ScoopeyDoo & get a hug.

[bluedog]

morning ya'll! Gris Gris THANKYOU so much for my lagniappe! I'm not suffering from any sunburn on account of loads & loads of sunscreen but my clothing has been permanently stained ... /shrugs/ so much for white shirts.

I'm on a manhunt for a ring I saw in NOLA and trying to find the shop online or at a least a phone# I think I may not have much luck but I'll give it a shot. There was a jewelry shop on the "west"(I think) side of Royal in between Toulouse & St Anns ... it was a dark & old with lots of stuff but I saw this ring in the window and have not stopped thinking about since I tried it on. It is a petite fluer de lis with tiny diamonds set in white gold.(there actually another one just like but it had purple jewels of somekind) It was $700.00 and was just too much at that time and the owner was easily frustrated with me and Craig wouldn't let me buy anyway. Craig was put off by owner's frustration and quickly escorted me outta there. I was seeing stars & hearing angels sing at that point & was oblivious! We kept looking around town but saw nothing compared to this ring. Everything else I've seen is very chunky or masculine ... even Faget Mignon(SP?) This was during our last hours in nOLA so I didn't have time to return to the shop ...:( So anyway i'm trying to find out the name of the biz ... is anyone familiar? Maybe I should start a new thread with this question? but wasn't sure this deserved a whole thread of it's own .... thanx for any input ya'll!

Your welcome Blue Dog. I'm not sure of the name of the store you are looking for but New Orleans Gem & Lapidary had a ring kind of like that. They had it in diamonds & CZ's. They are at 527 St Phillip St. 504-524-9595. Good luck.

Listen Missy....I am a pro!!! LOL
I did just get someone in here looking for a last minute gift.
I prefer to spend my weekends with my family. My FIL was a jeweler who ran his own shop for many years. He spent a lot of time in his store making money during Mother's Day, Christmas etc. Brenda even tells stories of him leaving holiday dinner to open up for customers. That is not the life I wanted, and made a conscious effort since the kids were born to have "family" time. I'm pretty happy with my choice! :D ;)

[NYMAMA]

Let me clarify this post by saying I have been cooking and makeing the delisious Monicas crawfish monica.(and when I cook I must drink a few glasses of wine). So it reallly is just too much work to find where these pictures belong, but I wanted to shaere them. so here goes

BINGO!!!!! I found it used a couple of weeks ago for 4.99 I think. I didn't even know it was on CD. I spent many many late nights/early mornings at the now sadly gone Lone Star Cafe here in New York seeing those two as well as many others.

i'm just glad it held off until i got home. i don't know if i could have done a day at fest with this bug - i know it would not have been very enjoyable.
just don't tell me what my bar tab is up to, or i may relapse.

did i say Tab? :)

[RevDon]

Bar Tab Benoit? Glad to hear you're feeling better, as we are. Got some weekend work to do, tarbender, got any Abita Red Ales?

[Zydekitten]

Wow!!! Nobody else is up on dis Bored???!!! (Rosetree??)

I'm sitting in my tent on the river, dinking a cold, cold beer underneath the gorgeous starry sky with good friends and new people to get to know and I just wanted to share it with other good, good friends - my Threadhead family . . . any about at this hour?

Hey, does anybody besides me and Amyp watch Survivor?

Yup I do tonights the finale. I want to see Yow man or Dreamz win. I'll puke if Cassandra wins.(shes a coat tail rider)

[pokerchick66]

Yup I do tonights the finale. I want to see Yow man or Dreamz win. I'll puke if Cassandra wins.(shes a coat tail rider)

I love this show! I hope it never ends. My favorite is Boo . . . you know he's a Louisiana boy, huh? And he's way too cute! He's been coming on strong the last two episodes and I like the underdog factor with him.

Of course, I love Yau man, too. He is way beyond adorable and has much heart. And he's a brilliant strategist and isn't doing too bad in the challenges, either. And what a brilliant move to negotiate with the truck and then send himself to Exile Island. You can't help but love him.

The two I can't stand are Cassandra and Dreamz. She to me is the biggest fake with that "uh huhhh" all the time and she just betrayed her alliance with Earl and Yau by voting off Yau at TC. And Dreamz is just flying by the seat of his pants, lol. I do hope he honors his word. I hope Earl and Yau pick up Boo as their swing vote and put Cass and then Dreams down. But you just never know what's gonna happen! Tonight will be awesome. I cannot wait to see the finale.

Happy Mother's Day, people! :p

[pokerchick66]

Well I've had a very nice Mother's Day today. For breakfast, I had chocolate chip raspberry pancakes and then Chicklet and I went to church and I got a prayer journal as a gift. Then I made grilled bratwurst, red hot potatoes and smothered cabbage with blueberry iced tea for Sunday dinner . . . delicious. It has been a beautiful, gorgeous, sunny day. Oh yea, and for dessert I made strawberry shortcakes w/cream cheese ice cream instead of cool whip. :)

Now I await the countdown for the Survivor finale at 7pm . . . :D

Now I await the countdown for the Survivor finale at 7pm . . . :D

Sounds like a wonderful Mom's day and you deserve it.


Finale tonight.........my pick is still Jordin! :)

[tangledupinblue]

Well I've had a very nice Mother's Day today. For breakfast, I had chocolate chip raspberry pancakes and then Chicklet and I went to church and I got a prayer journal as a gift. Then I made grilled bratwurst, red hot potatoes and smothered cabbage with blueberry iced tea for Sunday dinner . . . delicious. It has been a beautiful, gorgeous, sunny day. Oh yea, and for dessert I made strawberry shortcakes w/cream cheese ice cream instead of cool whip. :)

[Stella Blue]

Tangled is the Queen of Multi-Tasking, so we are confident she can plan for CrawFest and dink at the same time. As for me, I am chilling a bottle of red, awaiting Dugan to come home, as she is working the night shift again. Sorry we didn't see you folks this much in NOLA; still teasing the idea of going to CrawFest and we will continue to monitor the boards for NY/NJ meet-ups!

Hey Friend, Speaking of permagrin got my pictures & there are a couple of you with your sweet smile. You made us feel like we had been there forever the minute we met you. Just read ahead & if you have to get up at 3:30 you'd best be getting to bed!! I'll be thinking about you on my last of two days off tomorrow. Going to visit my little cousin I told you about. Love ya!!!;)

[pokerchick66]

This is for Dreamz: http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/monica7966/swear11.gif

I loved how he asked Dreamz about being a Christian!!!!

[bluedog]

It could also be Wellington & Co at 505 Royal Street.....

TANGLED!!!!!!!!!! ranked in the "new favorite meet" category???... now that is way cool... and it was 9:30 in the a.m.,.. ya' gotta try me lata' in the day... or the night for that matta'....

My bean stretches all the way to New York???... that is one "long" son of a "beach" :rolleyes:

glad ya' caught the bumble bees.... they were an extra special treat this year...

[Amy Winette]

I love this show! I hope it never ends. My favorite is Boo . . . you know he's a Louisiana boy, huh? And he's way too cute! He's been coming on strong the last two episodes and I like the underdog factor with him.

Of course, I love Yau man, too. He is way beyond adorable and has much heart. And he's a brilliant strategist and isn't doing too bad in the challenges, either. And what a brilliant move to negotiate with the truck and then send himself to Exile Island. You can't help but love him.

The two I can't stand are Cassandra and Dreamz. She to me is the biggest fake with that "uh huhhh" all the time and she just betrayed her alliance with Earl and Yau by voting off Yau at TC. And Dreamz is just flying by the seat of his pants, lol. I do hope he honors his word. I hope Earl and Yau pick up Boo as their swing vote and put Cass and then Dreams down. But you just never know what's gonna happen! Tonight will be awesome. I cannot wait to see the finale.

Happy Mother's Day, people! :p

Ugh, PC, I'm really disgusted that Dreamz went back on his word, and Earl violated Yauman's trust too. Cassandra has done nothing to deserve any money. I guess Earl would be the one I'd want to see win now . . . They're in jury questioning right now.

[pokerchick66]

He looks amazing cleaned up. MODEL for Gods sake.

I might have to make me a little road trip to Lafayette. ;)

Disgusted doesn't begin to cover it. I wouldn't spit on Dreamz if he were on fire. I've been watching Survivor from Season 1 and this is the ONLY time I've ever left feeling bad and totally disgusted.

And Yau man has such class. I want to send him money right now. Not only did Dreamz reneg on the deal, he voted him off and he's keeping the truck! Karma, baby. That truck will end up being a big albatross for him. What a role model.

I loved Boo at final TC! Smokin' . . . :D

[NYMAMA]

I might have to make me a little road trip to Lafayette. ;)

Your so fickeled. What about Tab? You'll break his heart;) .

I was sooooooo dissapointed with dreamz. I guess Earl was the best of the ones left to win but I think we all agree the yao man desserved it ,more then anyone else.

[Amy Winette]

Yep, Dreamz never had a chance of winning with all of the people he screwed; all he did was pass the win from Yau, who gave him the truck to Earl, who hadn't done anything for him. Brilliant move. Classy man that Yao. He'll be back for an all stars survivor.

[Lester_leaps_in]

Hey, Festngator. My CD pack arrived today. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's a lot more than I expected. WooHoo.

[ScoopJohnD]

Beer please.
