We're in for Friday before until the Tuesday WAAAAAYYYY after fest :D This is tooo damn good. Bringing in 3 festal virgins for 2nd weekend too :) You'll love them Amy, we all work together and are my party/concert buddies. Too fun!

[Amy Winette]

Oh, we've got fest friends booked for 2nd weekend already too! Forgot about that, woo hoo!

Saturn, OMG, is that the hamster dance? Is there sound on that? Oh, I love the hamster dance, used to go listen to that to cheer up (de de dee dee doh dee doh doh, de de dee dee doh doh doh . . .)

No sound with these particular little guys. I've got a sound clip somewhere on my hard drive -- I will have to go searching for it.

In the absence of hamster dance, there is always this one:

[piscesgirl]

Well, considering I live here I don't exactly have to book anything...but I did just get some potential JF lagniappe in the mail. Does that count?

[Amy Winette]

Absolutely! Lagniappes, you're way ahead of the game.

Aww, those badger are cute Saturn. But nothing can replace the hamsters for me :)

Wahoooooo!!! This new board is getting the excitement going way early :D

[ozzie]

Tuesday before until Friday of 2nd... odd times, but we have to be back in Oz.

Big airfare booked; US airfares booked; accommodation booked; lagniappe packed; brass passes done; boxing kangaroo flag bought (as a gift for some US folk flying an ozzie flag we met last fest); not sure if amyloves has made all our restaurant rezzies yet!

How many days?

[Amy Winette]

Okay Oz, from not even sure you're going to this, you get the prize!

[Corona]

holy crap girl! You are on the ball!!!

[ozzie]

Not actually a very organised gal, but figure if I book and pay early then nothing can get in the way...

AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY!

Booked at the lovely St. Pierre on Burgundy, Monday of 2nd week through Tuesday after. Usually travel with 4 or 5 other members of the krewe de'wemu, sometimes more. I was gonna show off the lovely little courtyard pool that keeps me mobile during the fest, but they went upscale and made it a panorama and I couldn't figure out how to copy that. I usually can't drag my krewe away for dinner so I'm game for dinner excursions!:cool:

Wow Paps, you are one lucky dog!

[ozzie]

Thanks darlin, I did. But I did so much personal stuff that I now have hours to catch up on... which is why I'm on the board of course! :eek:

[saturn]

No exterior shots, but here is the place Greg and I have booked:

Hey Corona, how are you...I ended up quitting the job I had, with the supervisor who approved my time off for this past FQF & JF. To recap: she approved the three weeks off about a month before Katrina. I went. I got back, and was greeted by nasty memo saying how I jammed her up, and it took five people to cover me while I was gone. I got another job that approved the time off before I was hired. I really thought JF was a once and done thing. There is such a thing as "spirit of the festival". A woman my wife works with and her companion had gone to JF for years. Then we convinced them to give FQF a try. They went a few times, but for 07 they're going to JF. Both are NOLA & JF veterans. I'm sure that it'll be more fun since now I won't be alone.

[chrisjoseph]

arriving April 30th; leaving May 7...staying at the W in the Quarter, most likely going solo...

[piscesgirl]

Hey girl, we gonna see you during Festgiving weekend? I hope so!!

I have only heard the rumors of this Festgiving of which you speak... When does this magical event take place?

[Amyloves...]

Aw crap sister....I think I'm supposed to tell you about that. Actually I mentioned it ages ago but that was when I didn't know nuttin much. I'll fill you in on the details. Next Saturday night (11/4)....Jenn's house....be there.....be hungry.

[piscesgirl]

Oh fine! I see how you are! First you don't even acknowledge my existence on the Introduce Yourself thread and now you seek to exclude me from Festgiving. I'm taking my toys and going home!! I shall ask Ms. Minkoff to defend my honor!

[Amy Winette]

Love all the pix you guys! Ohio, we stayed at Chateau Sonesta for most of last year's trip and loved it. Corona, nice hot tub, I will plan to spend at least one night there :) :) We are at Holiday Inn Chateau Lemoyne:

Oops, that showed up as a pix then became a link. Oh well!

[Amyloves...]

My sister is a poo-poo head. I'm telling mom.
I shall now attempt to edit my introduction of myself to honor you.
:p

[Amyloves...]

Okay done. Hope you're better now.

[Corona]

Okay done. Hope you're better now.
Oh man, pisces has to come....I'll be there with my sis too....it'll be too fun :)

[piscesgirl]

[Amyloves...]

Poor widdle sissy. Oh puh-leeeeeeeez! I'm scared to death of her!

[Corona]

[piscesgirl]

Sounds like a plan!

[mightyradgumbo]

Man, do I feel like a slacker. I have yet to book anything. I am planning the whole run again. /fingers crossed/ My brother is supposed to go 1st weekend so I will be doing 1st weekend through the patry for sure. I just need to work out details but the whole run was so fun last year that it will be hard to pass up if it is even remotely possible.

[Corona]

yayyyyyy! :)

[mightyradgumbo]

YYR, Corona. I was content with the one weekend (or so I thought) the past fests. I believe it is the TH experience that makes the Fest experience so much more enjoyable. Can you believe we are almost half--way. It seems like just yesterday you almost killed me at the patry with the syringe of Jello shot. :D

[piscesgirl]

Mightyrad, you gotta come back in '07!! We had a great time hanging with you last fest!

[Amy Winette]

I was content with one short weekend (flying out early Sunday morning) for 7 years before the board! It changes everything :)

I started going to the fest and this board at the same time. I just kept up-ing the amount of days each year. This year bringing in first Friday too. Missing that last year almost killed me. Can't take it lol! The Threadhead Experience is just too damn fun :)

That's still one of my favorite memories from last year's fest. I giggle everytime I think of it. For those that don't know, we had jello shots in syringes at the patry last year. Chippie and I were trying to shoot one in myteer's mouth and it was really hard to push the plunger, Chippie didn't realize until we saw Dan's face that she forgot to take the cap off. So, she ended up shooting the cap into the back of his throat with some major force. Too damn funny :D :D

[jodied]

I'm right there with you Gumbo...need to get planning...first weekend it is! I'm moving into a smaller place that is way cheaper just so I can make it to fest...the things we do to get there!!!! Can't kick the habit...just have to admit...I'm ADDICTED to Fest!

[Corona]

hooray!!! Ya gotta do the Patry this year too girl!

[Amy Winette]

For sure Jodie, it's on Tuesdaze so come early for second weekend or leave late after first weekend if you can't stay for both ;)

[RitaZero]

I'm very excited to be attending both weekends for the first time! Got my flight over the weekend, Wednesday before to Monday after. Stay tuned for volunteer opportunities on the days between.

[Amy Winette]

Nice! Would like to do animal rescue again this year. Hey Rita, you guys had some great musical choices on Friday -- Beatie Boys or Mother Hips with Jackie Greene! We've got to get down to the Catalyst one of these days . . .

[RitaZero]

Look me up when you come down to Santa Cruz! Thanks for the animal rescue tip. Can you hook me up with the organization I might contact in NOLA?

[Amy Winette]

Sure, I will look it up and let you know, think it was Animal Rescue New Orleans, someone put up a whole website of volunteer activities last year and got some press on the board -- who was that??
