Crawfishfest 2008

[jazzykeb]

Email update from Michael about next year's fest. Sounds great!

Hi Y’all

We have finalized our plans for 2008

We will add 3 National Acts on the DME Stage on Friday night. To attend, you will need a 3 day camping pass. These tickets will be limited and will go on sale Oct 15th. As a bonus, you will be able to camp until Monday at Noon.

On Saturday and Sunday, we will bring back some of our favorites and some new folks. Day tickets and 2 day combo ticket prices will remain the same. They will also go on sale Oct 15th

The Wyndham Garden Hotel’s Crawfish Fest rate in Stanhope will include shuttle bus for everyone staying at their hotel. I will be adding the rate and link on http://www.crawfishfest.com/hotel.htm in a few weeks.



I have been slow in answering some e-mail, I hope to catch up this week.
We removed the sausage from the online store for the summer, it will resume in the fall.

We are now booking our mini-Pavilions for private parties during the Crawfish Fest. Corporate Hospitality and Company picnics. Each pavilion can hold up to 250 people, with a minimum of 100 people each. These private parties will include catering by us and a cash beer/wine bar by the Frankford Township Fire Department.

The mini-pavilions are close to and perpendicular to the DME Stage. E-mail me if you or your company’s HR Dept is interested in your very own private VIP party.



If your in NJ or Eastern PA, you may be interested in this. Hot Tuna w/Oteil & The Peacemakers at the Bergen PAC in Englewood, NJ on July 22nd. Visit www.createavibe.com for more info



Have a happy and safe 4th of July

See you in 11 months

Michael

[Crawfish Fest]

oh man, that sounds fantastic!!!! I really, really want to go again next year!!!

u better
somethig new, we may have a tent next to the lemonade stand selling shots of vodka to be poured in the lemonade, maybe a rum sponsor for hurricanes, its not confirmed yet, just something i am working on

[mightyradgumbo]

Wow Michael
You already have me jonesin' for this one and I just left the last one hehehe
Now go find that rum sponsor :)

[tangledupinblue]

OH YES, I will be purchasing those tickets for sure. I have been waiting for this to happen for years! Leaving on Sunday always kills me.
Friday will be sp great!!!

Lis.....won't be the same if you guys aren't with us next year!!!!

Jazzy, whatcha doing tomorrow? COME OUT!

[NOLA]

I'm definitely going the RV route next year. Being able to stay over Sunday night clinches it.

Michael, those SoCo frozen drinks are pretty hard to beat - I don't know if they sponsor events all the way up to NJ though...

oh jeez...like I wasn't hammered enough!! lmao
nah, it sounds wonderful Michael. I'll be there. I just need to budget for it. That fest is one of my all-time favorites now :)

[mdfest]

Michael- for us campers, it would be nice if we could pay to have a tent set up for us. 20x20, 30x30, something. It would give us shelter if necessary, and be sort of like our town hall. Might be a pita- just a thought. Maybe make it part of a camping package- buy a block of X tickets, get a reserved space and pavillion?

[Lester_leaps_in]

Michael -

Just to be clear, I wasn't able to attend during 2007, but I WILL DAMN WELL BE THERE for 2008.

I feel better now.

Yea, thats a reasonable request, we can do a 20 x 20 in TH village on the pavement, You can decorate it, but have the decorations down by monday for our loadout. We are gonna re-do the website, I am thinking, When u chose your campground, chose New Orleans, But in the space for discount, Insert <THV>. That will move u over to threadhead village and i dont have to announce it on the website. This will not be mentioned anywhere except on these boards. I do appreciate the support,

I'll be there baybee..I'll figure it out...I may have to give up Mardi Gras for this one but I think it'll be worth it :)

[NYMAMA]

This just sounds like sooooo much fun. I am definitely going next year I don't care who's birthday it is we will just have to rearrange the schedual. I haven't camped in 20 years and I think the same or more for Bud. My daughter already told me we can barrow her tent and gear. So WE ARE THERE!!!!

Remeber, Linza, wherever you crash in TH village, you're amongst friends. We'll just throw a blanket on ya and wake you up in time for the music.

JUST NO BLACK SHAWLS!!!!

[mdfest]

Lmao!

[Corona]

wow. :(
I know girl but it's so close to fest and if i want to do CF again, I have to watch it. The good thing is I have 10 days for Voodoo and Festgiving! That's gonna eat some cash too.....vacation time is also an issue.... We'll see, maybe I can pull a rabbit out of my hat. Not sure if I can stay away that long....I never make it more than 3 or 4 months!

[Corona]

wow. :(
Besides....you're supposed to come for CFF this year right??? :)

[funkkjunkie]

Linza, you could put a flag up on your tent or some kind of totem. Just remember to look up to find it. ;)

JUST NO BLACK SHAWLS!!!!

so whats the secret of the black shawl???;)

[tangledupinblue]

so whats the secret of the black shawl???;)

On Friday when we are all settling in, we all did MANY jello shots. It was getting time to go in to the pavillion and hear the Pine Leaf Boys play. It was getting a bit chilly so Linza comes up to me with a black shawl draped over her shoulders and said, "Let's go in girl."

I almost fell down laughing and said, "NO WAY am I going in there with you if you wear that thing" We both lost it laughing and the shawl ended up being thrown in my tent and she wore something else. (not sure what...we were lit)

She reminded me of it the following morning and we laughed our asses off all over again. That poor shawl ended up with grass and hay all over it!

Where is it now Linza? Did you cats get a hold of it?

[jazzykeb]

Wow, this thread has taken off since I was last on! Awesome news Michael! Thanks for the accomodations....seems to work out good for all of us, since you know we will do a lot of marketing for CFF and, of course, we only bring the best folk! ;)

Great idea Bri, about the only thing that could have been better about the past fest, was a communal hang out spot......

Would I be pushing it to ask if we could get a hot tub in our pavillion?????

Katie, crappy day, what are u and Jude up to??

Quid Pro Quo my friends
Here is a teaser, i hope to confirm a food vendor i used to have at Waterloo Village. He does Jazz Fest, he makes a lot of dough there.
Happy 4th
Funny note, my buddy luc, who is one of my right hands at the fest is working in england for expedia, without thinking or being too bright, i asked what did they do on the 4th of July over there. He said they refer to it as the time we left them, lol

[funkkjunkie]

LOL, cff! And I love dough filled with cheese and crustaceans.

Yea and Jude is trying to convince me to go out for breakfast right now but doesn't seem to know how to get off the couch. I told him that the cooks aren't going to show up at the house to cook his damn eggs.

Add some bourbon and I can leave the flask home!

Great Festival Michael....already elevated to 'Can't Miss' status. Only thing that could make it better, as far as I'm concerned is if the oysters show up next year.

[jazzykeb]

Too dam funny Tangie! I should have come out with you guys, instead our fireworks got rained out.......but then again, I feel ok today, where as Jude is stuck on the couch!

So, never did get to the diner for breakfast. He is finally up and making our strip steaks from last night that we never made. Rum Punch prevented us from remembering that we had to eat dinner.

I wish! Unfortunately, I live 400 miles from the nearest oyster bed. The only seafood industry around here is the occasional bait shop.

Maybe MDfest has connections? (hint)

mort cooperman of the lone star roadhouse used to tell me, your only limited by your imagination and your checkbook, dreaming big has never been an issue with me. i learned a lot from that man. We had a Mardi Gras party there one year, so i hung this sign up, it said happy mardi gras and it mentioned a beer company. Mort found me and asked me who put it up. I said i did, he said, well , people pay me a lot of money to be identified with lone star and put up signs.. I asked him if he wanted money, he said no, i just wanted to teach u about signage. So every once in a while we talk, and i tell him what a great thing SIGNAGE is, lol

Having worked for myself for 16 years, I have learned there is nothing that can prevent someone who is really motivated from accomplishing his or her dreams. Of course, hard work, a quick wit, and a willingness to be creative when confronting challenges are among the very best assets of any successful person.

But now you got me dreaming about grabbing a couple dozen at the "Charbroiled Oyster" stand at your festival before heading over to the stage to hear some of my favorite music...I just hope someone else is dreaming about selling them oysters as much I am about eating them!

If not, well then...guess what I will plan to be cooking over at Camp Threadhead!

[mdfest]

No connections, but could find one! We can also bring up a bushel for the camp.

WARNING: Impending Thread Drift

Drago's of Charbroiled Oyster fame has opened a new location in the lobby of the New Orleans Hilton Riverside. So, if you don't want to drive out to Metry to get your Charbroiled Oyster fix next time you are in town, just head over to the Hilton. You'll smell the garlicky buttery smoke from a few blocks away.

Maybe the folks from Drago's can be convinced to take their show on the road to New Jersey next year. They were certainly a big hit at the recent Seafood/Cajun/Zydeco festival in the Quarter.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

[Crawfish Fest]

Ok, today i made an offer to a guy to do his famous gumbo and the oysters.
I hope to hear something on crawfish bread next week. One of my best friends just stopped by, we killed a 1/2 bottle of 1800 in margarita's
Tommorrow him and his wife are having a party, featuring grilled blk drum, with some kinda crawfish topping, more drinking

Having spent MANY late nights early mornings at the old Lone Star Cafe and the Roadhouse I can safely say you learned from one of the best. NEVER had a bad time at either place, great music, good food, nice people.

I sure miss those clubs. Unfortunately, thanks to NYC's ridiculous rents he became limited by the checkbook.

Mort taught me more than anyone. i have some pretty good mort stories.
He invited me to spend a weekend with his family. I am looking at some of his art, i passsed a lil drawing up quick, he said u dont like that, i said no, not really, he said thats good, u dont just look at the name, It was a Picasso, lol stupid me. Then he picked up this huge vase, he stuck his arm in it, of all the things he had, it was a prized possesion, he held it so i could read the bottom. "To Mort, From Bo Diddely" Bo is a potter, who knew? another time, me, mort and mark was in the club alone in the daytime. 3 guys walk in wearing trenchcoats, they dont say a word, but they all spread out and go in different directions, we thought it was a hit, then they started asking if mort was there. i grabbed my beer bottle just in case, the big guy reached into his overcoat, reached deep into a pocket and pulled out a demo cassette, he WAS IN A BAND, lol he wanted to play for mort, damned near gave us all a heart attack. The best night was a private party for Euro Traders, Chuck berry played, with johnny johnson on keyboard, it was awesome. i was about to get a cab, mort said they would take me home, i walked outside, there was a radio dispatcher, grouping people in town cars, I really wish i could get mort to come to NJ,

oh, and i just talked to chuck, we are adding dance lessons in the dance hall and some bigger fans or misters, we are talking talent for next year
i need a life, lol

[mamaroux]

I am lookin for a raw oyster vendor, interested?

Mmmmmm yes, and a fried oyster vendor, too! I can do w/o the roll and fixings, just give me dem oysters and some crystal!

[mamaroux]

Having worked for myself for 16 years, I have learned there is nothing that can prevent someone who is really motivated from accomplishing his or her dreams. Of course, hard work, a quick wit, and a willingness to be creative when confronting challenges are among the very best assets of any successful person.

But now you got me dreaming about grabbing a couple dozen at the "Charbroiled Oyster" stand at your festival before heading over to the stage to hear some of my favorite music...I just hope someone else is dreaming about selling them oysters as much I am about eating them!

If not, well then...guess what I will plan to be cooking over at Camp Threadhead!

Oh no... how could I forget about CHARBROILED OYSTERS!!! OMG... like dying and going to heaven...

give me oysters for breakfast, oysters for lunch and oysters and dinner and a snack, oh yea... raw, fried, charbroiled and in artichoke soup, or stew, on top of a salad, too. MMMMMMmmm

[mamaroux]

WARNING: Impending Thread Drift

Drago's of Charbroiled Oyster fame has opened a new location in the lobby of the New Orleans Hilton Riverside. So, if you don't want to drive out to Metry to get your Charbroiled Oyster fix next time you are in town, just head over to the Hilton. You'll smell the garlicky buttery smoke from a few blocks away.

Maybe the folks from Drago's can be convinced to take their show on the road to New Jersey next year. They were certainly a big hit at the recent Seafood/Cajun/Zydeco festival in the Quarter.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

YOU are BRILLIANT!!! Excellent idea!... please go eat a few dozen for me!

Saturday later nights have not done well, we gonna do away with that band and go big friday night, I told Chuck i want the 3 main headliners to be Rads-Friday plus 2 TBA's, FM's=Sat and LF on sunday . Maybe someone should come up witha new game "Fantasy CFF" Make your own grids of your favorite bands and see who comes closest. Wait a minute, i already play that game, lol

That is great. Melissa was is so good to all the campers during the fest, she is a big part of the great vibe. That was true even before we were in the "Threahead Village";)

Me and Rob of mexicali blues did a mardi gras party together a few years ago, we had Rads and PGF in an old theater in NJ. Luc and wild bill cooked jamblaya in 4 degree weather, how it cooked, i have no idea. Melissa and Jay (he checks you in at the 1st camper check in and he does will call) were working the front of the house for us, i saw them working, they were polite, but all business, they worked the ticket booth. I liked how they worked, so i hired them on the spot for the next year, they are both aweome and great troubleshooters. I think this was their 5th year,

The owner of the place was very unpleasant to us. So we left him a surprise. He was too cheap to have a dumpster. I had a bunch of king cakes left over, luc asked me what to do with them, i said i will take a few, bury the rest in the snow for the azzhole to pick up. He found them a month later, lol Luc used to be the assistant food director at jazz fest, i met him at clinton's 1st inaugaration in 93. They had brought me in to cook Jambalaya to represent NJ. Luc asked me how i was gonna decorate the booth, i said idk, give me an hour, when he called back, i said we would be a toll booth, he laughed, told me to give him an hour, he called back, ok he said, your from LA now that we got you in. And when i saw Luc work, we kept in touch and hired him too. Will bill has been cooking crawfish since the second year, his real job is he is an organic farmer. I met him thru his brother in law, who i had worked with. i think my talent is knowing who is really good and not being afraid to hire them. They make me look good.

a golf cart will prob be required in all future contracts, lol i had fun with henry and michael murphy, the film maker in seattle a few years ago. We watched LSU beat bama in the last few minutes. i filled in the extra color commentary that henry needed to " watch" the game. We were at a private gig for the DME folks. interesting sidenote, years ago henry gave me a charcoal self portrait. Very talanted man!

[jazzykeb]

Good stuff Michael. You definitely hire good folk, and we all appreciate that. I didn't know you were associated with Rob from Mexicali? That is awesome, we love that venue! What is the history there?

we just clicked, i met him when he was booking stanhope house way back when, he is laid back like i am, never seems to get upset,so when he wanted to do a mardi gras party, we partnered up that one time. we talk a few times a week, bouncing idea's, we may have a bus trip next year from mexicali blues. and chuck, my booker i met in rhode island at a festival, i told chuck i wanted to be big, that was about 1992, when we was at suntan lake, this was our 1st year, http://www.crawfishfest.com/1989.htm their is pretty much a story with everyone i work with, i have never read a resume' to hire someone, if u noticed, most people who work for me take the pressure off of me and all are great troubleshooters, it's a huge problem if it gets to me, like a tornado in stanhope,we ran the entire show on one big generator, that i ordered at 2 AM on a saturday morning, the power did not come on till 7 PM that night, 3 towns were out, including our hotel.

Michael, you have one of the best vibe festivals I've ever been to. I know it has to do with the people you employ, the security peeps etc. Everyone I met was wonderful, smiling and seemed really happy to be there. I can't wait to go back!! :)

We were at that show! It was soo friggin cold. We parked 2 blocks away and the damn cars locks were frozen when we came back. Those king cakes worked very well after supplementalizing all night. I remember one of our friends won the costume prize that night and had a bit of a problem....
Don't think shows are done at that place anymore.

Yep, it was the Baker Ballroom, a great old theater from the early 1900's. Someone bought it a few years, not sure what they did with it. Even the inside was about 40 degree's they had an old oil heater, it just could not keep up.

Hey guys!! I am SO SORRY for being tardy in getting online! I started a new job on May 7th, had CFF, then my fiance moved into my house and now i just had a birthday! So, again, SORRY!!
It was so great having y'all in NJ! I really hope that everyone had a great time and we are already talking about next year as you can see from Michael's posts to make it even better! It was a pleasure meeting all of you and I hope that you will recruit (1) person each to come next year! Then you guys will really have your own village!!
Michael and I met at the Dover - Baker Ballroom and I have known Rob Ortiz for quite a long time. Michael and I just want to make each year better and come up with new ideas and leave a few behind that didn't work for us. We really hope you will continue to give us feedback and any ideas that come to you. Looking forward to 2008 and I will try and be on here more often! Thank you so much for all the kind words as well. That meant A LOT!

[Lester_leaps_in]

Melissa, I have been recruited for next year, so there's one. Actually, I recruited myself, based on what I've seen here on this board.

Any festival endorsed by ThreadHeads is going on my "must attend" list. That's true despite the low standards of any group that would have me for a member.

I'm really looking forward to CFF2008.

Happy Birthday!

That sounds great!!!

[Belle]

Ok

I have kids that love music and hate being left behind and "hubby&me" who dig each other!

The oldest is graduating HS this year and plays in a band.

The middle one would dig it. He is the one we took to Bonerama

The daughter just wants to be with Mom and does love music but is young and would keep "hubby&me" from being the folks we are. LOL You do know what I mean.

We are so on the fence about bringing them...knowing they would like it but would I?

I hate these decisons. :D

[funkkjunkie]

I think we have to do what's right for us, Belle. We're there for our kids 24/7 for the most part. If we want some of our own time, then we should have it. They'll have plenty of time in their lives to fest.

[tangledupinblue]

How old is your daughter?

[tangledupinblue]

One thing about CFF is that it is very kid friendly. Ask Brian. He has a ball and it is a big family thing for them! Camping is great for the kids and there are so many of us around that the kids will have plenty of others to hang with so you will have a ball!

[Belle]

How old is your daughter?

Loralee is 11. Just starting Middle School, can't wait to play in the Jazz Band like brother. She plays keyboards and now is learning the Sax.

Loves all music, big Patsy fan (mom helped with that one;) ) She would have a great time.

Since Walker is graduating, we want to do a few great things together.....how you let go graciously is beyond me. Weren't they just born

Seems like you may be meeting the whole crew. Oh course the boys will miss the girlfiends. :rolleyes:

[funkkjunkie]

Shoot, if the oldest just graduated and he'll go with you, you better take him!

[Belle]

Shoot, if the oldest just graduated and he'll go with you, you better take him!

YYR!!

He loves us and likes watching the geezers! But loves the music too!

[Crawfish Fest]

We are extremely kid friendly.
We get a lot of under 14 kids. For the past 2 years we have had a separate kids stage, but its not a dropoff point. I think it does ok when i am passing by. Younger kids love the face painting.
We don't seem to get a lot of older teenagers
Sorta like going to the movies with your parents and not wanting to sit with them. It will be Brian's 3rd or 4th year camping with his family. I think he can give u a good perspective.

Just decided that the kiddios are not going in 08. At least the boyz. The whole NO music scene has yet to grab them. Of course they will have just gotten out of school (one will be graduated) and they have other things on their minds!!!! The daughter might come. But we will come sans boyz.

I have the faith they will "get it" in their own time. Now I know how my Momma felt regarding music. She always said,,,try it you might like it!

I can tell you have a great relationship with them. However, if I can remember back that far, they're more likely to get it if they get it on their own. It's just not cool to love your parents' music (until you get a little older).

Belle, my rule was always 18 years old for Sam.....it worked out perfectly but to each his own. Do whatcha wanna cuz there's another 360 days a year to be momma and dadddy....well maybe 350 if you count in Jazzfest but you get my drift.... :)

[mdfest]

Take the boys- they will find something they like to do. My kids(7&10) have been 3x and enjoy the entire experience. I dont think they have ever been to the kids tent- im afraid they wouldnt leave. Looking forward to the expanded Friday night lineup.
Just finished doing a 3 day river float and camping on the Potomac River. It was perfect because I didnt have to touch the stove once, and we ate (and drank) like kings!

The float sounds wonderful and the not cooking is the best. Doesn't food taste better when someone else makes it?

MDFest you saw my middle one at Bonerama and he does love it all. Just can't decide...guess I will leave it to them... heck the upcoming graduate just might be at beach week anywho!

And YYR Lis about the other 360 days! Hugs Lady

what exactly is as river float MD....is that where boats tie up together in a lake and just camp out on the boats? If so, that's what we do here....if not, then please explain. It sounds intriguing and I've heard you guys mention those floats a lot on here. Sounds like a blast!

Hey did you do any fishing on the trip?-Back in the day when I was at Quantico we did the Potomac and there was some pretty decent fishing.

[mdfest]

About 15 boats, 15 guys, 2 females, lots of booze. Float down the lower Potomac River from Paw Paw WV to Hancock Md(check it out on google maps). Smallmouth Bass fishing all day. Camp wherever we feel along the river.

In addition to the free Jambalaya for people camping on friday night, I am thinking about adding a 3# tray of crawfish, corn and potatoes as an option on the camping tickets. This crawfish platter would cost $25.00 in advance and include the Commemorative tray and be served friday evening in a mini pavilion. Thanks Michael

[Corona]

[mdfest]

maybe we will roast a pig Sat?? I've got the oil drum.

[NYMAMA]

I think we only have 20 and 30 amp 120Volts, i will check in 2 weeks
The fairgrounds has their 10 day fair this week so they are in crunch time now.
We could back u up to camp madisonville and still be in TH Village if u need a 50 Amp 240 Volts

I would rent something pretty small so I expect 20 or 30 amps would be fine.

COCHON DE LAIT!!!!!

If there is interest, we can bring the smoker. It would have to be a community affair. Lots of delegating!

[tangledupinblue]

I forgot to show those of you who could not make it to CFF this year what Michael and Melissa had made up for us for our camping village!
I still have this and plan on putting it up at every festival we camp at to welcome threadheads. I bet so many people will come up to ask what a threadhead is while walking past our site!

Dat's da Bomb Tangie! I love being a TH and I love you guys.

GIRL - you gotta bring that to VIBES this weekend! I'm loving the forecast!

[jazzykeb]

Wow! Just back from vaca and I am loving the momentum on here!

Great to have you on Melissa!!

Michael, the Crawfish Platter idea is great. I don't think we will have trouble with the 200 goal, I am good for about 10.

Scoop, I have an extra tent and pad if it will help you decide to camp.

MD, the pig is an interesting idea.

Oh, and we have already found several places that will rent and deliver a hot tub to us at the fairgrounds. We are going over the top!

sounds great, but
i have to say no hot tub, way too much liability for me

[jazzykeb]

ok, Michael, don't read this..........(anybody got a tent big enough for a hot tub?) ;)

[Chas_P]

They'll be two more for the camping next year (much to my surprise).

[Crawfish Fest]

ok, Michael, don't read this..........(anybody got a tent big enough for a hot tub?) ;)

please dont make me be the bad guy

[jazzykeb]

of course not Michael, that was just a joke. I'm glad it did come out now though because there was serious momentum for the hot tub. It would have been a bummer for us all to have it become an issue.

Well, since i expect the sun to be shineing brightly, i am gonna look into some water misters.

[Chas_P]

A question on the electricity for the area. We're going to bring a couple of air matresses which have pumps that use electricity.

Will we be able to use the pumps?

[funkkjunkie]

Chas, are you sure your pump isn't rechargeable? If not, i'll bet someone else who's going will have a rechargeable pump.

[Chas_P]

Nope, just checked again "powerful A/C pump".

There were some outlets. But bring extension cords. The picture of Tabasco's coffee maker on the grass up next to the outlet was a hoot...

I get charged for each receptcle used, those breakers most likely will be off next year. Someone bought a hookup this year i think, If not, i will make sure u have at least one by the tent i am going to give u. Dont forget some temp lights and cord for the tent.Remind me around May 15th
Michael

[Chas_P]

That's good news. I also checked out products and saw where you can buy an adapter for the car's cigarette lighterto be able to use regular A/C items.

It's funny about the coffee because that's been my wife's biggest concern for the morning. Although I do have a portable gas burner where we could always make coffee the old fashioned way; perked.

I have been assured coffee and beignets will be ready by 6 AM each morning. Your on your own on Monday. MVA

[Chas_P]

I'll also add that if you get charged for these, we'll be glad enough to help cover the cost of having one turned on.

And begneits too! I guess we don't have to pack the mix then. :D

[Crawfish Fest]

John Ed Laborde, Of Panaroma Foods in Marksville, LA will come up in 2008 to serve up his world famous Crawfish Bread. Say hello to him at Jazz Fest and tell him your looking forward to seeing him in NJ. John Ed and his krewe will also be serving BBQ'd Shrimp over Rice, with some french bread for dipping. OMG, I am gaining more weight just thinking of it. Michael

YUMMY!

[tabasco]

I actually had a 400 watt power inverter for my coffee maker but 2 blown fuses later... realized I needed at least 900 watts for the coffee maker! I thought those outlets were for our use?
Sorry... I only made 2 pots:)

[Belle]

Does anyone just boil water and drip the coffee anymore? Are we camping or what?;)

[Belle]

I just went back and read threads..you can tell we are a bunch of hotel folks.

[linza22]

actually, i don't do no cowboy coffee, but i've got a killer JetBoil sytem that i take when i go backpacking! it has a cute french press that goes with it!

Linza I know you camp and so do we, that is why this airbed coffee thread has me laughing. They make little airpumps that run on batteries and coffee is great no matter if you really need it.

Hard core is ok for a few days. Right?

you know it girl, i'm just being prissy! that's what makes camping chicks so fun!

[jazzykeb]

I have the Jet Boil too, and I also have a standard propane burner and good ole fashioned percolator. Feel free to stop by for a cup of joe.

[Crawfish Fest]

Mints for your pillows are on us

Now you are talking!

[Chas_P]

Hey, don't make fun of us "hotel people". Actually, we had gotten into camping and hiking a good number of years ago, but then we moved to the country. When you can sit outside in the quiet at night lokking at the woods and deers and bears, you lose a lot of the incentive to go camping.

But we'll also have a small propane burner and will be boiling up water to make coffee so feel free to stop by or even ask to use it if needed.

So again be kind. As I told Michael in an email, here we successfully graduated from Jazz Fest school. Now we're "Festal Virgins" all over again! ;)

[LisaRI]

for those of you wondering how to get a good cup of coffee while camping at a festival, I have two words for you -

COOL BREW!

This is the same delicious beverage they sell at the jazzfest - coffee & chicory blend. I picked up a 32 oz. container at the A&P in the FQ for about 7-8 bucks when we were there in April. It fits great in the cooler for camping or festing, and is really easy to use - it is designed with a special spout that measures out 1 oz. serving. I use 2 oz for a 16-20 oz ice coffee. After I finished that container, I mail ordered 2 2-liter bottles, one regular, one hazelnut ( I wanted to get the French Roast but they were out of it... but its almost time to order some more,so maybe next time...) They are both really good, especially the hazelnut in the afternoon. The shipping charges were kind of expensive but came out to about the same cost per serving.

I am from the land of Dunkin Donuts, where people drink ice coffee all year round, and happily pay $2-3 for one. I love ice coffee, even in the morning so this was great for me - I drank it all weekend at Greyfox festival, and I enjoy it at home too. But if that's not for you, the Cool Brew makes great hot coffee too, just add boiling water & milk or cream & sweetener to taste. So for camping you still have to get the boiling water, but this is better than instant coffee, it tastes more real. It's really good iced with vanilla soymilk, too.

So it's like a coffee concentrate? Interesting.

Is it perishable? Once you open the container, how long does it last?

Thanks! I picked one of those up earlier this year at French Quarter Festival but lost it the next week in Florida. It was very convenient for ice coffee especially. When I got back here, I had forgotten the name of it and have been trying to find it locally. No luck.

Work the same way as a motor oil bottle that I have does....which dispenses just enough oil in the top chamber to mix with a gallon of gas for a two cyle engine.

[LisaRI]

So it's like a coffee concentrate? Interesting.

Is it perishable? Once you open the container, how long does it last?

yes its a concentrate. It's all natural no preservatives, so it is shipped cold. that's why it costs more for 2-day shipping. Maybe it;s less to ship to TX. But lasts about 2 months in the refrigerator. I'm having some right now!

yes I've never seen anything like it elsewhere. It is better than when you just brew regular coffee and leave it in the fridge, it has no bitterness.

Way cool! ordered 2 bottles- regular & french roast. I love iced coffee & granitas! Thanks Lisa

When I camp, I just boil water & employ the French press. Looks like a quick alternative, though, Lisa. Thanks! :)

We love the Cool Brew granita at the fest, David lives on it! I also like their $1 off coupon. We always print out a bunch & whenever David goes for a coffee, he hands them out in line....

Trying to work out some logistics Belle, but I am intrigued with all of the banter here about the fest, so I am thinking real hard about showing there. I stopped doing long distance shows years ago, so we'll see where this goes.;)
And yes, it does seem like a good fit for me :D :D

Great! I spoke to a great jewelry artist from New Orleans who moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago while I was at my show in Philadelphia. She was real interested in showing at Crawfishfest. I am also working on a potter who makes some real nice Raku' pottery....

Hand raised or should that be glass raised !

[Crawfish Fest]

How about diced Tasso Omalettes? I have to talk to the firemen next week. they hold the alchohol permit.I wouldprobably do it in the gator sausge booth.
It might have to be scrambled eggs, IDK yet

[sophisticated sissy]

This all sounds so good...What's next? Breakfast in bed?;) :)

[Crawfish Fest]

How about grits? Does anyone up there know what a grit is? lol

[Lester_leaps_in]

Damn! One good idea after another. Michael, you think like I think.

[Crawfish Fest]

ok, light bulbs are popping now. I can have the firemen pour a shot of vodka on ice in a commemorative cup, maybe 2 shots in a 24 oz cup, then step up to my make your own bloody Mary bar, with all the fixings, and we have ice cold V-8 juice premixed with my fave bloody mary mix, I will have someone cooking either made to order omelet’s or scrambled eggs, and bacon and grits, it depends if I can find a good fry cook,
