what are you doing this weekend?

[jazzykeb]

Just curious. We are always (well sort of) on a similar NO theme on this board, just thought I would pole what everyone is doing over the next couple of, mostly, free days. Other then dreaming of and making plans for Jazzfest, what are you doing? No posting after Sunday.

[hewboy22]

going to see moe. tonight here in town :) outside of that not much.

[jazzykeb]

I guess I should help contribute. I'm celebrating St. Patricks Day this weekend. All weekend. I know it is early, but one of the biggest parades in NY is near me and it is always the Sunday after St. Patricks Day, but since that is Easter this year, they moved it to this Sunday. it's big, and in a very Irish town. All the bars will be packed and the Guinness flowing.

Then the town I grew up in, White Plains, is having their parade on Saturday. It's not as big a party, but there will be no shortage of big smiles, bag pipes and crowded bars.

[djgriff]

going to see moe. tonight here in town :) outside of that not much.

Let's see. Black tie dinner tonight - Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. Bringing number two son to a birthday party on Saturday - probably a movie and dinner with the wife on Saturday night - basketball on Sunday morning, then bringing number one son to soccer. Other than that, I think I'm free.

[csoul]

Glad you asked.......I will spend Saturday packing my bags and getting Mr. Soul and the baby souls ready for my absence next week. On Sunday, I will board delta flight 1513 out of RIC and into MSY at 3:07!!!!!!! BABY, I'M GOING TO NOLA FOR 6 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

[rosetree]

Gonna meet-up with Tangie at Algiers Friendship Day on Sunday! :D
Working in the yard on Saturday if weather permits....:(

[ibjamn]

We'll be getting the house & patio ready for an influx of THs for St. Paddy's day next Wed.

[BigDag]

I'll be giving away bottles of Frank's Red Hot Sauce at a Bar-B-Q Festival.

[McGregor]

Supposed to snow tonight and never snows here. I guess my yardwork duty will have to be put on hold a week.

hate it!

[rosetree]

I'll be giving away bottles of Frank's Red Hot Sauce at a Bar-B-Q Festival.

Hey Dag! Are you going to Fairhope next weekend?

[BigDag]

Mark, for the first time in memory, our group is not sponsoring the Festival. I would try to come by, but we are doing a couple of big St. Patrick's Day gigs, a rodeo, a trail ride to benefit St. Jude's in Memphis, plus opening night at the speedway. I don't think I'll have the chance.

However, if you and the missus (if she's making this trip) are looking for something to do after the festival on Saturday night, there's a great St. Patty's Day party at Callaghan's, close to downtown Mobile. Grayson Capps & Theresa Anderson are among the performers....

Sounds like fun Dag, but after the show we usually like to decompress and have a nice dinner and then crash @ the hotel.
Sorry we won't get to see you.

[ABITAGIRL1]

TGIF (Just started Happy Hour - Vodka and diet tonic).My plan for the weekend is to catch up on the message board/grids etc and to sort out all of my Jam In The Dam plans! I've been too busy to read much this week and there's so many posts this time of year both here and on the JITD board. Early tomorrow we are running a big race (in the rain I am thinking). I'm having my 8 year old daughters Brownie Troop over later in the day to practice their song and dance for the school show. It's adorable. Tomorrow night we are heading to a party at a friends and on Sunday I am packing for Amsterdam! Next week at this time.........whooo hooooo.

[festbabe]

I'm performing Sunday evening (formal concert), so I have rehearsal tonight & Saturday afternoon (ugh). Saturday morning cleaning house & laundry (good times) and Saturday night some serious drinking - bourbon I'm thinking (it's been a tough week).

...although I'd rather be hanging out with JazzyKeb - sounds fun.

Hey KY, I'm bringing my daughters to see my Huskies whup up on the Bearcats tomorrow; hopefully we'll be playing against your Cardinals in the finals of the BET next weekend. Pretty nice team you've got there too.

And coincidentally, I've got play rehearsal for one of my daughters on Sunday also; and choir practice for two of them; and otherwise watching the third one (two year old) keep us all on our toes.

[tangledupinblue]

I'm catching Big Head Todd and the Monsters tonight and then off to the Broadway Oyster Bar for a little Gumbohead. Have a great weekend everybody!

"I Feel Pretty, oh so Pretty, so pretty, and witty, and gay!!!" i'm actually dancing to that in the show, wearing a dress......

[KYfunkfan]

...sit back and reminisce about Salma Hayek! :D LOL

not a day goes by that i don't.....lol!!!!

why doesn't she play on one of the main stages? she wouldn't have to sing, maybe knit a rug or sumthin'...i mean, anything!!!!

[sophisticated sissy]

We're having a blizzard, so I'm gonna play in the snow! I know it will all be gone by next week, so I am not even going to bother clearing it from the walks and driveway. It's probably the last snow of this winter, so enjoy!
I want to go snow tubing!


Might go to a movie this weekend, and the art museum beckons for Sunday.

Making chili con carne tonight w/ a salad. Roasting some brownies in the oven. Maybe I'll open a bottle of red wine from Australia. Build a fire in the fireplace. Finish the novel I'm reading.

I might go to the symphony tomorrow night. I bought a subscription and the tickets have to be used up before May.

Coach my daughter on the Fine Points of Public Resistance. She's a college freshman and she's going to her first protest tomorrow. Should I be the ultimate helicopter parent and show up with the video cam? :p

Visit my mom and catch up with her. Haven't seen her this week.

Sounds like a lot! Are you sure this isn't a 3-day weekend?

oh, yeah ... DST begins 2 AM Sunday. Synchronize my watch!

Shouldn't you be drinking Abitas? LOL, just kidding. Have a blast at Jam in the Dam! FYI, have you been to Amsterdam before? A good friend of mine lived in Haarlem for 4 years and I have made many visits. Have lots of good advice for visitors if you are in need.

[The Krewe of Chew]

We're just hanging out Saturday night, because we're getting up early on Sunday to go sell the J & M shirts at at a record and CD show. Hope to sell lots of shirts for NOMC (and buy some CD's for us while we're there)

Red Beans & Ricely Yours,
Cindy & Dave

[mamaroux]

got to open the library in the morning, so I'll have coffee at my desk and check in books out of the bookdrop, run a few reports and fill holds that need to be shipped off to other libraries... curse under my breath at the computers that are giving us grief (the new software actually) and come home by 1pm, pack a few things for me and papa and the doggie, and head on over to the first state to see and babysit my most precious grand daughter, and spend the night over there while her daddy is off on a business trip to Wisconsin, and her mama has to w*rk. The youngest daughter is up from Virginia, and is over there now, so she'll have the honor of entertaining Abbie in the morning until I get over there.
Sunday, we'll come home whenever, and maybe get home in time to have brunch with the youngest daughter and her fiance and his dad and stepmom, who have invited us... then do some laundry, cook and eat dinner.
Thank God for Abbie, or my life would be utterly boring!
She seems to like the shades I bought her for St. Patrick's day, they match the shamrock dress, hat, bib, booties, slacks and onesie that I bought her last weekend.

[Newcomer]

Started my weekend with the Nevilles at the new/old National Theatre on Broad Street in Richmond. The crowd was older, grayer, and fewer than when I saw Flogging Molly at the National last weekend, but we still can boogie now. Strong show, with Cyrille really kicking out "Tipitina" and a fine "Amazing Grace" by Aaron on the encore. Expect to catch a local version of the John Patrick Shanley play "Doubt" tomorrow, hopefully after a long run and some long overdue letter writing. Sunday's a mystery at the moment but I am sure there will be a Bloody Mary involved sometime about midday.

[Ms. Festngator]

going to the Haiku Flower Fest, then driving to Hana. Where are ya Maui Breeze?

[denideadhead]

Just got home from seeing BB King in Poughkeepsie!! TH karma rocks as I got held up in a traffic and got to the venue 15 minutes before the show. Scored a just released by the opening band front row ticket!! woo freaky hoo !! BB has Tony Coleman back as a drummer and he seemed to change the vibe for the better ...the shows had become a little ho hum but not tonite!! BB played Lucille with somethin I haven;t seen in alot of his shows lately and the band sounded great!
BONUS! BB signed a photo I took of him for the RAFFLE :) It is sweet I almost hate to part with it but for the cause I will make the sacrifice !

Last night we went to an art opening at a local gallery then to dinner with some friends. We are raw oysters, stone crab claws and boiled shrimp. Great dinner! I'm on the board of a local art show (Magic City Art Connection in Birmingham, AL ~if there are any artists out there) and we have our opening party tonight. So, I'm working on that all day, but tonight we have a surprise party to go and then a business dinner for husband. So, I'm not even going to get to enjoy the party. Oh well, such is life. In a little under two months, I'll be in New Orleans!!!

[Blumie]

[Belle]

Tearing out the kitchen cabinets, finishing the inside of the skylights and throwing away stuff I haven't used in years that cannot be donated to the Salvation Army.

This is a work weekend. But in one month the kitchen remodel should be done.

Oh and finishing the bead work on the Southwestern gourd for the raffle.;) They are going to be shipped mid week to IB come hell or high water!

Everyone be safe and have fun no matter what.

[glinda]

Still reelin from the Holmes Brothers show last nite in Woodstock, IL.

Wow, they were even better than I had imagined, sooo much better than what I had heard on cd and radio! And the guy who booked em had no ads, no signs that his place was even open. So there were maybe only 25 or so people in the room, what a treat we all got. Wendell can really play that guitar. The first set ws 80% rockabilly-swing. Course they also do gospel, soul, and a couple Beatles tunes. I love those family harmonies! Tempted to go catch them again tonite downtown at Buddy Guys, to see if that was a special small-town-white-people set... I loved it but wanted more gospel.... and to hear more of that amazing music.

[denideadhead]

Wow I am so surprised at how much I am enjoying this thread...thanks Jazzy :) Happy Early St Pats
Glinda gotta love good music and a magical time at an intimate venue!
would be interested to know too if they played a different show. Saw them at BB Kings awhile back and it was pretty much as you described but so was the crowd.

[tangledupinblue]

Glad you are enjoying, me too. Thought it might be interesting to get a slice of folks non-jazzfest lives. Enjoy the shows denise. I'm headed out into the rain, but will end up in a warm bar with a cold pint watching Shileleighs Law in a few hours. Have fun ya'll!

[tangledupinblue]

WOW...maybe just another night in NOLA to some but man oh man did we have some fun last night.
Me and NOLA (frankie) walked into Kerry's Irish Pub on Decatur for a nice Irish Coffee and I heard a familiar voice... low and behold there was MEM SHANNON sitting in the back playing!!! We were so excited..Ozzie I screamed your name to MEM!!!LOL

Then onto Tips to see the 101 Runners....great show...then onto Maple Leaf for ANDERS...

Mark Mullins was playing with him so I had enough eye candy to make me crazy.........oh and the music was HOT as well. I made it to bed before the sun came up so now I am dinking an Abita to celebrate a great night in a great town!

Papafrog called with the lineup for today and as if there wasn't enough mentioned in the first phone call....he just left another message telling me about a parade at 6pm on Chartres and Canal....

Get me outta here...:D

[ABITAGIRL1]
