Hey Jazz Festers!
I have posted here previously re: my traveling solo this year. I have decided to go ahead with it and am pretty damn stoked!!
I have found a couch to crash on renting from 2 college students in NOLA! I am on a big time budget but that's okay.:)
I can't wait to see all of you there! I am going the 2nd weekend because Stevie Wonder called and said he won't go on stage unless I'm in the audience!

Much love!
Nikki Bird

Well, Cool! I'm glad you're gonna be there. Let's hook up during one of the ThreadHead meetups, and I'll buy you an adult beverage.

Nikki, by participating here, you are now a threadhead. Once the schedule comes out, we (the folks on this board) will pick a time to meetup daily so that we can see what we look like, and to renew friendships from previous jazzfests.

Meetups are behind Ms Lena's Beer Tent. Where's that? All will become clear . . .

Stay tuned. you are one of us now.

You are a Threadhead... just because you post here. :)

We have a daily meetup behind the Zulu Diamondcutters' beer tent (directly across from the Jazz & Heritage stage). Times to be determined later so stay tuned!

Nikki, you'll find that relationships developed here transcend the actual days of JF. I've found lasting friendships from "meeting" folks on this board, and then meeting them in actuality at the festival. Threadheads, including you, are good people, and we share fun and good karma.

Alright Nikki!! I'm excited for you! Come and meet us for a drink and maybe volunteer at Ms Lena's beer booth for a shift (4) hours if you'd like....you get the day's admission free AND you get to work with about 20 threadheads. It's fun and you get to meet lots of new friends :)

i corrected your quote. you know how i feel about the W word, especially on the weekend. :p

Nikki - sounds like you're getting it together.
so this is your first single fest. i think you'll notice a lot more flirting when you're not hanging with a guy. my first two fest were with a male firend, but the third year with a girl friend - totally different vibe. :)
i have also solo fested and its still one of my favorite weekends. :D

As was I, steffie...previously had gone to fest with random groups of people but after the Thing couldn't get anyone to venture to NOLA (crazy bastids) and I met up with the kind, crazy, fun-loving, music-loving group of peeps and now I can't seem to shake them :p or is it they can't seem to shake me haha either way, glad to see you will be going nikki

Barb...I'm pretty sure I should be offended by that remark! But, since the list actually exists...I think I'm disqualified from being offended.

For those who have not yet signed up...the list is full. Anyone who would like to be included will unfortunately need to be wait listed. Please...keep your angry replies to a minimum...I'll do my best to accomodate everyone! ;)

Half a ditto to the solo festing this year. This is my third year with a group on the first weekend. But this year I am staying through the second weekend, too. I couldn't pass up Wonder, Prine, Santana, Truck and the rest. Got my Brass and ready to go! I hope to meet as many of you as I can.

I have been known to buy the corner at the local watering hole. It usually solicits payment in kind. So I "usually" save that for a non-school night. D**n! 11 non-school night coming up!

buying a round in large groups can be costly, both financially and later when you realize you've hadd 10 drinks - in 2 hours.

i dont think it was Barry.

my recollection (may not be right) is it was one of the guys and he didnt make that many, just gave them out to the naughty folks - i must have one somewhere? :o

i can picture him but cant pull a name, real or TH. then again all our guys are so damn good looking - i cant tell them apart.

i found this post from last year under threadhead meetups.
so i guess breambob made the buttons.

Well, 1:45 is a little late for me as I will be quite slurgid by then. But that is better than 6:00 when I will be babbling and incoherent. So OK. Beers for all that spank me. But it's gotta be a good one.

sad thing, in the two festes I've been to since being on the bored i've never fested with anyone all night long....

i'm such a masturfester....

oddly, this becomes my dilemma in attending each year: should i just satisfy my own needs, as a masturfester? or cave in and satisfy the needs of those i leave behind?

i mean really, how many people are willing to say masturfesters have the best of both worlds, and not be ashamed of it?

"masturfester" is even funnier when you type it from your own fingers
