[bluesbaby]

One guess which ones!!!!

[mamaroux]

One guess which ones!!!!

haha, only half right! the other two were Leon's hands. I LOVE to watch him play that bass!

[tabasco]

Well because I've had so much time on my hands lately,:rolleyes:
I thought this year should have a theme, the first thing that came to mind was...what else... The Tongue!! I easily found 10 tongues and I couldnt leave out Barry's nipple...So I hope you like it!

Great pics Tabasco! What's next year's theme gonna be to top this one??!!! :D

[bluesbaby]

OMG! I nearly died when I saw the title of this post! These are great! Did you put them all in a scrap book for your coffee table!?!? Hahahaha!

[ciscokid]

Revealing the DUI in the first conversation is the idiot move, he coulda just met ya somewhere. Too bad, he sounded cute, haha ;) Cougar, pfft, whatever, they don't call older men any kind of label like that, go forth and enjoy as many 20 somethings as you want my dear!

ames....
they call older men dirty old men and pervs.....

[mamaroux]

Barry did get beads though...

[Michelino]

Nice Bill. And I will resist the temptation to add animation to that masterpiece.

Hey Tabasco...this is for you. We were eating at Mother's lasy night and Glinda picked up the Crystal and Tabasco hot sauces...I made her have them fight as if it were me and you arguing! TOO FUNNY!

CRYSTAL!

Awww Crystal.... I would never argue with you! anytime we see each other we barely even talk, all we do is laugh at each other! :D Heck, when we do have somewhat of a conversation it usually ends in a spray of saliva or whatever else is in your mouth!:p

[tabasco]

and the winner was....


CRYSTAL!

But as far as hot sauces go....Crystal is not in the same league as Tabasco! Ive had spicier ketchup than that wimpy sauce. Some times if I order wings too hot for my taste, I'll use Crystal to cool them down!

Lets see Crystal go against this baby! :eek:

There's such a thing as wings TOO hot????

Who knew?

[bluesbaby]

I just look at hot sauce and my stomach starts yelling at me. I guess I am just a wimp when it comes to spicy.

You aren't kidding....we laugh as soon as we are within 6 feet of each other.

[tangledupinblue]

Shoot...that reminds me of one of the funniest things at this past CFF.

I was standing next to Dan fixing bacon on the frill and up walked one of Jazzykebs friend who was camping with us. He said to Dan, "Hey I am sorry about last night, we seemed to have gotten into a pretty heated discussion but I was pretty drunk so I just wanted to apologize"

Dan looked at the guy and then me with a blank look on his face, and I lost it....DAN HAD NO IDEA WHO THIS GUY EVEN WAS! We were all so lit that previous night none of us remember half of what happened!

CLASSIC!

I like Crystal, but I only have a Tabasco shirt. Cajun sunshine is nice, too.

Chrystal helps pay for CFF

8-11 PM
Maybe PGF as the opener for friday? 6-7:30?
4-6 PM slot was slow , every seemed to be catching up with friends.
I am just now coming out of my cave and going outside.

Thumbs up for PGF. Mixed feelings about CM given the Paul Sanchez issue. There is a 2009 CFF Thread already started I believe.

Ah. Okay. Looks like another one I will need to familiarize myself with. I am getting the greatest blues edu-ma-cation on this board. :D

Same here. For me, one set of CM during the day, is cool. But at night, I'd prefer two sets of Terrance Simien, Bonerama, DDBB, Ivan and Dumpstaphunk, CJ, or Soul Rebels before Cowboy Mouth. Maybe a jam session...something with Ivan?

JMHO, I'm there whoever.

OMG, I vaguely remember this... through a slurged haze of course... something about nola's ultimate fate... I remember it was a bad conversation and I did my best to stay out of it... Glad he apologized and even happier that Dan blocked it out!!!

I missed the 4-6 set, didn't arrive until 3:30, then was getting settled and setting up camp. I agree w/you Michael, it was prolly a little early for most folks.

PGF - yes, yes, yes! Friday or anytime over the weekend!!!

As a vendor, I didn't see anyone Friday night (in fact Michael, we rode around in your cart for a time visiting Threadhead Village ;) ) Friday allowed me to set up and get my act together for the weekend. It was my observation that Friday arrivals spent their time setting up camp and renewing acquaintances.

You got the best group of people ever for throwing a festival, right here. If you need help making the big dreams come true, just post the call for vols and watch what happens. :)

Nothin' wrong with that, keep dreaming big! :)

30th street station is a few blocks (easy, safe walk) from the World Cafe. I wish the trains ran late enough in this direction for me to take one there.

I think the doors are at 6.

Alrighty gals...train will be in at 6:20 or show. BG...what time are you getting there? The next train gets in at 7:30....

Donna the Buffalo and funky Meters sets are up on Digital Soundboard. No Rads yet tho...

[Lit]

Donna the Buffalo and funky Meters sets are up on Digital Soundboard. No Rads yet tho...

Yeah I keep checking for that Rads set too (and the off chance that the Tab set may show up too). Looks like at least one of the Donna the Buffalo discs is incomplete, as I definitely remember them playing "Family Picture" on Friday night (possibly on Saturday too), yet it's not on any of the song lists for any of their CFF discs. Wonder if they edited them to keep them to one disc?

It's been my experience that these sites aren't always accurate on song titles. Maybe one of the tracks listed is actually Family Picture with the wrong name??

[Lit]

That's a good point, and it's been my experience too. I thought of that while reviewing the other tracks listed and I'm hard pressed to see any of them that could be a mistaken name for "Family Picture," unless it's so mistaken that it has no connection whatsoever to the proper title or the lyrics in the song.

Hmm, well now I am curious... I hope they don't make a habit of cutting songs...

getting bands is no problem at all.
they are all just a phone call and a decent offer away.
its trying to keep within a budget so i can keep doing this
if i could do this under a shell, it would be so easy
and by shell, i dont mean a dome

Paul Sanchez and Fred created Cowboy Mouth. He was with them for about 16 years before leaving last year. There are issues lingering.

Hold the phone there, sunshine....I remembered exactly who he was and what the discussion was about. If you remember correctly, he said about 15 minutes later "Oh I remember what we were talking about, thats why you didn't say anything to me" Geesh, sometimes I think I am the most sober one in the crowd...well maybe I won't go that far heh heh but I remembered him and the conversation.

Yes I remember the conversation quite well also! Unfortunately it was quite sobering.... Which is the reason Sharon and I tried quickly to change it! But thanks to some nearby Jello shots and the willingness of that certain Fats lover to completely change the conversation.... Some possible bodily harm was avoided! BUT...we were a little concerned about your possible actions... Dan! :eek: ;)

My flight details are:

AA#2014 departs DFW Thur 4/23 at 9:25pm arrives NOLA 10:45pm.

Late, I know, but the real party will not start til the next day! :)

Let me know if you wind up on the same flight, we'll have a NOLA or Bust party on the plane and everyone else will think we are obnoxious! (at least the wet blankets will ;) )

I will try to point them out and be a muse to you... or is that amusing to you? LOL

Hey, not all guys are as good as the one I have, but there are a few out there... Jenn's David comes to mind, first thing... I don't know everyone's hubby, but LisaRI's Joe, too... and then there's some guys here that are also married.. but I won't name names... YOU know who YOU are!

... of course theres some single ones here that I hold in high esteem, too... hehehe, I think they are just sweethearts... can't figure out why they haven't been hooked yet!

it's sort of odd... you know they have the same interests and you have a grand time with them, but you know that old saying about not sh*tting where you eat... you never want to ruin an all ready good friendship, so that's a tough one...

After I twisted his head off, I did pinch his little tail, but sucked the other end of it at the same time, and all the meat came out in one big piece. I was surprised that the meat was very sweet. (Not like shrimp.) I didnt suck the head. OMG, I am killing myself over here! YES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EATING MUDBUGS HERE!!!

Now you need to go to Acme for Mudbugs the next time you are in NOLA. Those are my favs! You see, the whole head sucking thing is all about the juice inside! If they are sitting out for a while you suck and nothing comes out!?? Acme's are always nice and wet and juicy...YUMMM! :D

FOOD FIGHT!!!

I was lucky enough, the first boil I ever attended to be there with my friend Nick. Nick is a Cajun fella, grew up in Thibodaux, lives uptown by Audubon park. I had just had a manicure, and didn't want my nails to get all yucky, so Nick actually picked the crawfish apart for me... and feed them to me. I didn't have to touch 'em! He showed me how to suck the head, too... you don't just suck it like a straw, or else the brains and stuff will pull out... it's sort of gently. I figure he's eaten crawfish his entire life, he ought to know... I can basically do it for myself now, but I still have a hard time twisting the head off the body.

they are tasty lil' devils though... the corn is the best! Oh, so are the potatoes... and the mushrooms... and the sausage... the whole thing is just yummy good.

Yes I remember the conversation quite well also! Unfortunately it was quite sobering.... Which is the reason Sharon and I tried quickly to change it! But thanks to some nearby Jello shots and the willingness of that certain Fats lover to completely change the conversation.... Some possible bodily harm was avoided! BUT...we were a little concerned about your possible actions... Dan! :eek: ;)

I'm with you Tabby, nothing I hate more than a serious conversation dampening my happy buzz! Why does that always seem to happen 'round 4 in the morning?? :)

[sharon_loves_fats]

Maybe there can be a slip-n-slide area at JF this year....I was already doing that - unintentionally - during and after billy joel...

Me too Jersey!

[sharon_loves_fats]

I second that vote for JF next year. 40th anniversary should have some notable events!! Ha ha! (girls, better wear thicker t-shirts) Haha!

Adding note to packing list... bring black T-shirts, not white!

I'm with Jersey... I will need a LOT of alcohol first!!!

[Staxsun]

OK, I think if I am ever going to try them, i need to be drunk....at least a little. Don't the beady little eyes bother you? ugh

Nope. Of course I'd probably never eat a hamburger if I had to stare into those eyes. Also would be tough to pinch the tail and suck the head!

Ewwww.

Oh, well, I guess we all have our own individual tastes in food with 'character'. LOL I personally can't handle oysters. But those little mudbugs were excellent. As long as I stayed away from the ones with that spicey powder on them! Jersey, you are not a 'food coward', from what I am seeing here! Haha!!

A plate of raw oysters, some lemon juice, tabasco, horseradish, a sleeve of saltines, a cold beer, and I'm in heaven. Just keep 'em coming!!!!

(Everything past the "plate of raw oysters" is optional.)

I concur. However, how would we get the guys to participate? They would just all be standing around observing. ;)

Trust me, after a couple of drinks, they'll be dying to show us gals their slip n' slide skills!!!

Haha! Seems like the common denominator in all this is the volume of alcohol consumed! LOL

Hey, does anyone have a pic from last year of Henry Butler driving the golf cart? I looked around on the '07 Crawfish thread but couldn't find one. Not surprising since that thread has 1,000+ posts!!

I was there and watched Henry driving the rest of the NOSC around! They were all laughing hysterically! I was standing there in awe and forgot to take my camera out! Glad someone else did though!

Oh there will be water but I don't know if you will consider it refreshing unless you find getting wiped out in a wave refreshing ha ha

As we passed a few state troopers, they smiled and yelled " Don't let him drink and drive"

Michael, do you know if there are going to be any Soundboard recordings from Sunday? I've emailed them, but got no reply. Wouldn't mind The Lee Boys and The Bones.

this is all i see available

[Chas_P]

Yeah, that's what I got too. The FM CD was great! Since there was some issues at times with the speakers and mike during the performance, this picked up a lot of the banter that was going on that I missed out on.

Hey Chas, can you hear Krasno's guitar clearly on the FM disc? I wasn't hearing it that well live, but I might want to pick up the disc if it comes through well in the mix.

Still waiting for the Rads set to show up there...

update from Michael:

Hi Y’all
Thanks to everyone who came out to support us this year.
Most everything went as planned; we did have some bumps in the roads.
We will have new and much more responsible ATM and WIFI companies next year. I was as frustrated about them as you were.
One band did not show up as scheduled. Chuck had to scramble and fill the slots at the last minute. It worked out.
Next year will be our 20th year. I don’t foresee many big changes, more likely it will be more tweaking of what we have now.
Some of the changes include:
• No more fake money. We will accept cash everywhere.
• Working ATM’s.
• Working WI-FI in the campgrounds.
• 50” x 100” tent that will include a stage and a bar. It most likely will go right behind the Will Call Booth, in that small field. It will be on your immediate right as you walk in the gates towards the main stage. I am hoping to have sound and video monitors from the main stage in here also. I am still working out details on this. I would like it to go until 10 PM on Saturday Night for anyone buying any ticket for Saturday.
• The King Crawfish Krewe Package will be improved and will include camping, a Friday night welcome party and reserved seating in the DME Pavilion.
• We will add a new camping area to be named Camp Lafayette. It will border camp Baton Rouge, on the other side of the fence. Some of you have already camped in this area.
• I would like to add a few more food LOUISIANA vendors. I had 2 vendors cancel within 2 weeks of the festival because of high fuel costs to get to NJ.
• The photo galleries will be updated in the next few weeks.
Please visit the message board http://stores.crawfishfest.com/forum/default.aspx and tell us who you would like to see. They must be entertaining, draw, fit in with our theme and be affordable.
Or just tell us what’s on your mind.
The 20th Annual CFF will be held Friday May 29th thru Sunday May 31st, 2009. Mark you calendars.
All tickets will go on sale October 15th.
There are a few more festivals we recommend highly in July.
Briggs Farm Blues Festival July 11th and 12th
http://www.briggsfarm.com
Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival July 17-20th
http://www.greyfoxbluegrass.com/general/home.php
Pocono Blues Fest July 25-27th
http://www.jackfrostbigboulder.com/summer-blues-festival.asp
Congrats to Theresa Sullivan, she won the guitar. Visit the website to see what she decided to do with it.
Thanks again.
Michael
