[Carolina Beadhead]

Who's mortgaging the house or selling their first born to do the WHOLE thing?

[rosetree]

Who's mortgaging the house or selling their first born to do the WHOLE thing?

....or who is just damn lucky enough to be living in "Festival Central" ;) :p :D

[Jordan]

I'm not just mortgaging my first born, but bringing my first and second born, my wife and my mother-in-law to do the whole thing.

[pokerchick66]

CBH, you don't really have a category for me so I guess I'll post in this one. Not doing the whole shebang but I am doing both weekends, just not daze in between.

[Carolina Beadhead]

That's ok, PC. You'll be there in spirit. :D

No, wait! Now everybody will be in for the whole shebang!

[pokerchick66]

That's ok, PC. You'll be there in spirit. :D

No, wait! Now everybody will be in for the whole shebang!

lol, see what you started?

[funkkjunkie]

What do you consider the whole shebang? Does it have to include everyday of fest plus daze between? Or should it include the thursday before and the monday after? Or what if you're not there first friday but you're there the rest of the time? :cool: ;)

[Orleansnj]

I'm doing the whole thing and then some...... YIPPIE !!

7 more sleeps !!!!!! (because it's the 13th here already)

[Belle]

lol, see what you started?

I know what was started...a jealousy thread!!!

[jhjpotter]

woo woo!!

[VWGal]

I am in the whole shebang number! Both weekends, daze between and Thursday April 26. Whole hog....

[stlbarb]

Who's mortgaging the house or selling their first born to do the WHOLE thing?

there's a reason most of us were born with a spare kidney. you just have to plan the surgery for summer so you're totally healed by fest.

[rosetree]

there's a reason most of us were born with a spare kidney. you just have to plan the surgery for dummer so you're totally healed by fest.

dummer????? dumb &....?????

[funkkjunkie]

OH, now I get it. PC, I think you go in the first weekend thread and the second weekend thread. You get 2 threads and i'll bet big dag and a few others will be in both threads too!
I'm whole enchilada but 11pm arrival on first Friday. Or maybe 11pm arrival on first thursday.

[jenni]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!!!!!!!!!!

I am taking an at home vacation ~!!!

YYIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and I fully intend to put the boogie in swamp ~!!!!:)

[Belle]

How sweet that is!! Hope to meet you too!

[swag]

The whole megillah for me. Except the 1st hour of 1st frifday.

[TheGuzilla]

is there a separate category for... ignoring the IRS to be able to go? 'tis tax season...

not saying I'm doing that (in case they're monitoring...)

[Zydekitten]

Who's mortgaging the house or selling their first born to do the WHOLE thing?
Screw paying taxes to Uncle Sugar . . . I'm gonna be in NOLA with Denbear for the whole shebang, baybee!!! :D

[TheGuzilla]

and I was never here...

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w12/TheGuzilla/AlKurtLTG.jpg

[Zydekitten]

So, Guzilla, are you the Air Guitarist (about to drop trou) or are you the holder of the flag??? ;) :D

[TheGuzilla]

very clearly the air guitarist...

(the trou was an unfortunate flotsam / jetsam sort of castaway...)

[Zydekitten]

Hey, sometimes trou needs to be dropped . . . I'm just saying . . .

So, what were you playing on your Air Guitar??

[TheGuzilla]

Silly Kitten:

I would have thought from previous repartee you would have spotted me!

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w12/TheGuzilla/LTiGer.jpg

[Zydekitten]

Well . . . see, I didn't recognize you without your tiger stripes . . .

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o67/Zydekitten/ch070409.gif

[TheGuzilla]

just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler...

can't wait to meet you, darlin'...

Tiger Stripes @ MOMs Ball with Michalopoulous (who has become a good friend... hung out with him in NYC 3 weekends ago. I BELIEVE he & Reese are coming to our renewvows....)

I was sending pics back to my wife from the MOMs Ball, who was away for Mardi Gras with her Girls, and I sent her one of these pics to her cell phone and she responded, "What are you?"

And I responded (with the accidental typo) "I'm a Yiger!!!"

ever since, I've been called The Yiger... well... and the original Guzilla.... ;-)

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w12/TheGuzilla/MOMsLRMB.jpg

[Zydekitten]

Great story (and photo), Yiger . . . I like it!!! It's better than being a Lyger.

Although, I'm still trying to get my kitten brain to figure out what a Guzilla is:

Something that makes his lovely wife hold Jack o'Lanterns . . .

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o67/Zydekitten/350981432_eb5f409063.jpg

Or something who make his lovely wife hold bad beers from Tejas on her head (repeatedly) . . .

:confused:

[mightyradgumbo]

Whole enchilada with some melted cheese and a garnish (thurs 26 apr-tues may 8) hey gotta let the hangover get a proper burial before heading back to the office

I tried to get PB to quit the priesthood and hang for the whole enchilada but some blather about commitment to god (i see your lips moving, pb, but all I hear is blah, blah, blah.blah, blah hehehehe)

[Zydekitten]

Yay, Gumbo!!!

I wish PB would stay the entire time, cause I just know I'm gonna like him.

(Oh, you Crazy Catholics . . . commitment to God, sheesh ;))

[denideadhead]

25th to the 8th Guess I'm in !!! I'm in!!! YAY!!!!!!!
No mortgage or baby selling mostly a few missed concerts locally like Nora Jones, Richie Havens, and Harry Connick and probably the Rads in NYC....but I think I'll find a way to recoup the loss.

[flyingkiwi]

I'm doing the whole thing 'cause it's far too far to fly back here for the daze between :-)
And by way of a warm up, we're off to see Bonnie Raitt in concert here in Auckland tomorrow night....woo hoo!

[stlbarb]

dummer????? dumb &....?????

d is next to s. summer. guess that confuses dome people.

[BillericayDicky]

OK just to be awkward. Whole of first weekend. Daze between at sisters in Lafayette then Friday Saturday second weekend before flight from Lafayette on Suday morning. Is this another thread?:confused:

[BigDag]

I'll be there for most of it, including the daze between. Exceptions: first Saturday, Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th. (Travel daze, exchanging companions.)

[Corona]

me!!! Painful but worth every damn dime :)

[2ForTheFest]

We're in for the whole thing!

[sophisticated sissy]

Excuse me, but I was looking for the Whole Enchilada thread.:p

[grisgris]

I'm in. Paying the morgage before I leave, hope the kibbies allow me back in the house after being gone for 2 weeks.

[kikimo]

I'm going both weekends, thursday - monday, but not daze in between. Since there is no thread with those options, I'm going to spread out my blanket here and say hello.

[Zbonnie]

I'm in for the whole thing, only my 2nd time doing both weekends (and I was 10 years younger then)! Making a dent in the savings accounts, but already got my tax return which will probably(hopefully?) cover more than half the total cost of the trip.

[brooklyngal]

I'm staying for the whole thing this year & I can't wait. This is my 2nd time to stay for the whole enchilada too. Last time was several years ago & that was a true marathon! Even one weekend is a marathon but 12 daze---whew! Since I am new to this group where do you guys meet again? I'd like to meet you all...

[The Krewe of Chew]

We're in for the whole shebang, except for first Friday. (Flying in at extremely early hour on Saturday morning) This will be the first time we're doing both weekends. We were always 2nd weekenders, but since they did away with Thursday, 3 days of fest are not enough! We're more psyched for our trip than ever. We'll see you all at Threadhead meetup on Saturday the 28th!

[eat_mo_crawfish]

The whole crawfish enchilada for me, 04/26-05/08.

[mwgirlonherown]

This is the first year that I am able to attend the first weekend as well as IAC.

Woo Hoo! Aye'E! and El las bas!

[Zbonnie]

Even one weekend is a marathon but 12 daze---whew! Since I am new to this group where do you guys meet again? I'd like to meet you all...Daily threadhead meet-ups are scheduled for 1:45 each fest day at Ms. Lena's beer both (near the Heritage stage and noted on Ohio's fest map). Hey, I was born in Brooklyn but only lived there until I was 4 and then my parents moved us out to the bucolic suburbs of Queens!

[mrSteve]

The whole thing minus the first 2 hours of first Friday for us!

[Amyloves...]

HERE!!!!! 14 days and a couple of hours before I skip through the gate!!!

[Orleansnj]

you are too funny....... that's a scream. Wouldn't you just have a fit if he did........ooohhhh - you'd have some 'splainin' to do at the gates - ROFLMAO

[petegumbo]

back in 1979 they did 3 weekends, that's a lot of daze in between...Dorothy's Medallion w/Walter Washington band featuring Johnny Adams. Walter started around 1am, Johnny showed through around 4am, gogo dancers in cages with snakes, wow that was a wild scene, free red beans & rice

[mymecca]

I think I've met you before. ;)

[pgh_girl]

Sooooo jealous but happy for you lucky ones - I will just be there from the 25th and leaving on Monday the 30th. I need to find some stuff to sell on e-Bay so I can stay both weekends next year!

lol, that's what I've been doing! It's been paying for a lot of things for Jazzfest. I even bought my raffle tix with it. Now I have to build my balance back up, lol. I'm doing pretty good, though . . . :)

[brooklyngal]

Cool, I'll make a point of stopping by Ms. Lena's. A lot has been mentioned here on the bored about the booth so I'm excited to stop by and say hello to everyone. I just moved to Brooklyn 2 years ago (I've lived many places but most recently Kansas City). I love Brooklyn. Queens is cool--lots of diversity and great Greek food! :)

[Festvet]

and then some...

[Zydekitten]

[chicagomike]

[FestNut]

Not mortgaging the house, but having to head back to BTR on Monday till Thursday to get some work in -- gotta pay for all the fun of getting to all 6 days! Getting my warm up by going to NO next Thurs. for the night, then to Houston for Buffett on the 21st. If I didn't have to work for the money, I could make a full time job of just going from party to party!

Is it time yet?

[barry10016]

Looks like we may actually make it, and that would be 1st Friday 4/27 till Tues 5/8.
Fingers and toes crossed!

I also live in festival central, but we are only going 3 days the 2nd weekend and only my 2nd born of my children will be going with us and lucky enough to know someone who works for the fest in the ticket office which helps too!!!:cool:

[LACA Native]

Spouse and I are in for the entire enchilada - retirement fund, nah! we'll just party till the money runs out!

[mightyradgumbo]

Whenever I get a song stuck in my head, I start singing "The Love You Save" by the Jackson Five. Works everytime. Of course then you have to rid yourself of that one!

jingle bells , jingle bells...ok...all bad songs gone.!

[Amy Winette]

Thx girl :)

[Headless Hornman]

<hand raised> I'm in for the whole shebang. First time since I lived in NOLA, 20 years ago!

[NeenAtlanta]

Yayy - just changed my plane ticket this morning. Cost too much, but worth it!

First Thursday to 2nd Sunday. I have to fly out early Sunday morning, unfortunately, so I'll miss the final fest day. But that's okay, i'm there 10 days - whoo hoo!

Best of all - I'll be on short-term disability the whole time, so don't even have to use up my vacation day!

[Carolina Beadhead]

[luvdancin]

I'm in for the whole thing (26th thru 7th). I went the first weekend my first year and couldn't stand to go home. Been going for the whole enchilada ever since. Of course, I have no life (or vacation) the rest of the year, but it's worth it. :D

[funkkjunkie]

I just decided to drive down thursday night instead of friday night!

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

I just decided to drive down thursday night instead of friday night!

That is great!!! Sounds like you might just have a case of FOMS. So, are you going to catch Soulive 1st Fri?

[Ms. Festngator]

Woo Hoo! We are in for the whole shebang too! Arrive 4/27 (way early in the am) till 5/7. We have been doing both weekends for years but always flew home for the daze between. This is the first year we are staying the whole time. Since we have been living in a construction zone in our house since late Feb. and we still won't be finished by Fest, this is gonna be a mighty welcome vacation!

[brooklyngal]

That is great!!! Sounds like you might just have a case of FOMS. So, are you going to catch Soulive 1st Fri?

I keep reading about FOMS. What is that? Just curious ;)

[funkkjunkie]

Yyr, a big case of foms. How did you know I'd be seeing soulive, fred? ;) But another big reason are the mofro boys. I need a mofro show at least once a year and this seems to be my best opp so i'm taking it. AFter opening with injuns and then mofro, i'll be setting up at congo to enjoy the rest of the day.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

brookyngal FOMS= Fear of missing something. Now I never get it, never ever.

[pokerchick66]

I just decided to drive down thursday night instead of friday night!

Wahooo! That's what I'm doing, kk.

However, I was planning on leaving after I picked up chicklet from school (2:45) but I just realized that she has dancing that night at 5:30. That would put me getting down there around 10:30 that night. :(

[Amy Winette]

Our flight's not in til 11 that night PC!

Lets see... That was easy on guessing Soulive. Will miss Mofro Friday but will catch them Thursday night at Tips. Have to leave that time slot open for Zachard Richard. Might catch Soulive but will start out at 5:30 with Van. Then maybe catch the last of Soulive. I'm sure glad I don't have FOMS. :)

[mightyradgumbo]

You should meet up with PB and myself-I think I am giving him the Gumbo FQ tour that evening so we will be around

[pokerchick66]

Our flight's not in til 11 that night PC!

Wow! That makes me feel a little better. Course I am also comtemplating her missing dancing that night but I really didn't want her to miss any more classes. Aghhhh! I hate these kinds of dilemmas.

Who's picking you up that night?

[brooklyngal]

brookyngal FOMS= Fear of missing something. Now I never get it, never ever.

Isn't that ironic? :)
Thanx Fred!

[pokerchick66]

You should meet up with PB and myself-I think I am giving him the Gumbo FQ tour that evening so we will be around

I would LOVE to meet you and PB but I will have to take a raincheck. I meant my mom's in Pearl River when I said "getting down there" I will be tired from the four hr. drive and I will still be 45 minutes from you so I highly doubt that I will be making a trek to the FQ, lol. But please tell PB I said hello and enjoy the Gumbo tour!

[Amy Winette]

Wow! That makes me feel a little better. Course I am also comtemplating her missing dancing that night but I really didn't want her to miss any more classes. Aghhhh! I hate these kinds of dilemmas.

Who's picking you up that night?

Whoever's first in the cab stand! :) I think we're going to check in and head over to Howlin Wolf that night.

[pokerchick66]

Whoever's first in the cab stand! :) I think we're going to check in and head over to Howlin Wolf that night.

lol, wow you're ambitious. I will be visiting with my family that night and eating Oyster poboys and boiled crawfish. Then I have to get up early cuz I have to be there early the next day to volunteer at Ms. Lena's. :p

[Amy Winette]

It's the first night, I'm planning on having lots of energy and excitement to pull us through!! :)

[jhjpotter]

Because it's never too early!! We're in!!

[duende]

I feel ya - a couple of friends have vowed to join us in aught-nine for both weekends, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll be "one and done" for at least one of'em, and mainly out of guilty relief that Gustav was a near miss. Me? I'm in another kind of limbo - do I need that 1st Wednesday at Lafayette Square, too? I could stretch this to 3 weeks easy if I let myself off the leash... now how to pay for it. C'mon airline price war!

[jonnygospeltent]

French1/4 fest is the weekend before Jazzfest next year so a 3 weeker is not out of the realm of possibility.

[swag]

French1/4 fest is the weekend before Jazzfest next year so a 3 weeker is not out of the realm of possibility.

I'll be doing all 3 weekends, but will head home for the 4 days between FQF & JF.

[Orleansnj]

I'll be doing all 3 weekends, but will head home for the 4 days between FQF & JF.

I wanna be like swag if I ever choose to grow up. ;) :D

[ozzie]

You'll be able to make CFF, though, right?

[Amy Winette]

[NYMAMA]

In 1st Sunday(daughter geting married 1st Friday and I have to go LOL;) ) home 2nd Monday.

[BigDag]

Both weekends for sure, and most of the daze between. I'll probably use the Wednesday between to go home for a day.

[Corona]

In 1st Sunday(daughter geting married 1st Friday and I have to go LOL;) ) home 2nd Monday.
You have the same schedule as us Mama.....in real late 1st Saturday from Tortola (the journey from hell!) and out 2nd Monday. Wedding in the BVI's so we'll be there the week before...this is aka the Supertrip.....19 days

[swag]

It's easier when the flight is just an hour each way, and under $200 roundtrip.

[jerseygirl67]

whole enchilada.

How are you doing? Had a great time at LCF....

[jerseygirl67]

no shebang at all for us next year, I'm sorry to say :(

I just booked my hotel for the whole shebang:D That's one step closer now!

It doesn't have a laundry onsite, so maybe I can beg Jersey & krewe to let me use thiers :D :p Maybe we can trade for...hangover breakfast in bed? A gourmet dinner? A designated driver for an evening? I'm sure we could work something out! :p

I'm in for 2nd weekend - I'm calling it my 10 year Festi-versary! Plus, last year I had to go through Fest completely SOBER (gasp!), so I will be making the most of my trip!! I have a few people committed - plus, my annual Fest Virgin - but we all need tickets and a place to stay. Let the planning begin!
