GRIDS FYI

[dank_bass]

There will be periodic updates throughout the day today, possibly into the night and up until tomorrow morning. If you sent me show info it will be included. At the point when I finish, I am going to convert the grid pages to to a much smaller font, in order to economize the printing. I will post here again when that happens.

Thanks everyone for the info you have provided, it has been invaluable to the endeavor!!!

For those that sent me info on the clubs themselves, not all of that made its way into the grids, as I was adding clubs to each page when a listing required that I do so, I have tried to at least include a phone number whenever possible. This will be much easier to get squared away, once I get the grids cleaned out for next year, so the info that you have given me WILL be put to good use (that wont happen any time soon though).

Peace ... 3 Days to go!!!

Dank,
This week's Gambit lists the times for the performers at Instruments A Comin'. I have to run to a meeting right now but I can post it later this morning.

[mboard]

The grids are the only place where an effort is made to list every single musical happening during the Jazz Fest season. It was a great idea that has become a real boon to all the musicians and venues as well as music lovers. Terrific vision, and great follow through. Thanks!!

Many thanks to you, dank! A labor of love, I'm sure. Your efforts are sure to simplify and enhance the Fest experience for many music lovers!

I would imagine all those artists listed are indoors. Last year, there was no more music outside after the hall of fame ceremony- that probably was about 930 or so.

[pgh_girl]

Thanks so much for all of your work on this Dan! :D

[Goose]

Thanks very much Dan!!! :D

[Carolina Beadhead]

Dank, just know that we really do appreciate all the work you, and those before you, have done to keep us informed. It is INVALUABLE!!

[KYfunkfan]

yes, thank you thank you dank...this service makes my trip possible.

[mangoon]

Very awsome. Thank you bro!

[NOLA]

nola....do you know what time they move the music inside?

Seems like last year the music inside got started around 6:00. There were still some brass bands playing outside in between the inside sets, but I don't know what they are doing for outside entertainment this year.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Thanks Dan!!!

[dank_bass]

The grids are finished ... OHIO may be PDF-ifying them as we speak. I'll let him speak for himself here

The whats new page is current, I made the font xx-small so you can print directly from the site smaller, and flushed out any empty rows

The Book and CD signings are listed directly on the InStores page, they arent gridded, didnt seem worth it to me.

ENJOY, Im now in vacation mode ... see y'all Saturday!!!

[pgh_girl]

Many thanks - its midnight here and I just finished packing - a few misc things to attend to, then a few hours sleep before my 8:30 am flight - vacation time!! :D

[dank_bass]

Hmm ... its 12:03 here ... yins must be on Steelers Time Zone. go have a pop and relax.

Now that Im done gridding I can help my fiance with the packing, Ive been hearing a lot of "are you going to do anything to get yourself ready"

No mas!

Thanks for the kind words. Knowing how much Ive enjoyed them myself in the past, and having the oppurtunity to give the gift back to others is a nice warm feeling. Having finished them is a total relief, and I will accept your drink offer if I see you. most other people only offered a beer, not "drinks for the night" .... LOL, :)

I'd say you've done plenty to get us all ready! I suppose she has a point, though, clean underwear always helps.
Thanks for taking this on.:cool:

Seems like you've done an awful lot to get ready, but you might get quite a sunburn if you don't pack something! I'll buy you a beer (after I have my pop)0::) on Saturday!

how much do you drink???

As they say in the Tootsie Pop commercial ... "The World May Never Know", because I started about 20 years ago and havent stopped yet. When I finally do finish then I can answer that question.

[NeenAtlanta]

ENJOY, Im now in vacation mode ... see y'all Saturday!!!

And well deserved. Thanks so much Dank for the hours and hours you've spent on the grids. I don't think people realize how hard you work to keep it up to date, while still preparing for fest like the restof us, and reading the threads, and actually doing some real w*rk in between.

You are the man!

[dank_bass]

I cant do it myself ... I need someone to upload them to the site for me. I only have power to edit content, and make new pages, but I cant upload files.

[dank_bass]

So - you volunteering for next year?

(ducks and runs)

I already am in for next year. I have some ideas to enhance the process. But I aint doin S*$@ for a while

Did fest win out hands down, or was that decision a struggle for ya?

I became a Rangers fan in the late 80's/early 90's through a college roommate and them being my fav Playstation Hockey team ... Tikkanen was my boy!! I lost interest over the last 7-8 years, but it looks like they are back!

[mdfest]

anyone wants the grids on pdf, email me brian at mris dot com and ill send them.
