Who's going for Satchmo?

[Corona]

I keep losing that damn thread!! So I've posted another....


Okay, so who is in?
Has the lineup come out yet?
Do we know who's playing the Strut Friday night?

Umm....so EXCITED!!!!

We'll be there Friday til Wed. and are taking a couple of days touring the gulf coast before we go back home. Any suggestions of what we should check out? Love the beach and funky cool little places. Also want to pay my respects to the towns of Waveland, Bay St. Louis etc. that were devastated by the Thing.

[BigDag]

I'll be at Satchmo, Friday through Sunday.

Glad to hear you're going to visit the the coast. Mississippi is coming along. They've done a good job of cleaning up. Much of it is brand new, but there's still plenty of scars.

Between the casinos there (Miss.) and the condos and development here (Ala.), the funky little places are harder to find. But if you make it as far as Alabama, let me know. There are still some cool places to go.

[Corona]

ugggh....was kinda worried about that....not really into modern development kinda stuff. That's why I was asking for some suggestions..only doing day trips I think....

Have you ever done a swamp tour. Greg and I did one as part of our travelling along the coast from NOLA to Biloxi. (pre-Katrina) This is the one we did -- http://www.honeyislandswamp.com/swampmap.html

[2ForTheFest]

We'll be there.

[ozzie]

We'll be there.

You guys are bloody everywhere! :D Looking forward big time to next weekend.

Corona... you could visit Tangled/Jude's mama in Waveland. I'm sure she would make you welcome and give you an insight into the happenings of the past coupla years.

Enjoy Satchmo!

[SkyeDragon]

We will be there. Satchmo last year was the kidlet's first time in NOLA. She is determined to return as often as possible and has already announced her plans to attend Tulane. Told her to work hard for scholarship money as she has expensive tastes.

[swag]

I'll be there, Fri-Mon.

BTW, next time you lose a thread, just try the search link. It works pretty well. ;)

Local Threadhead meetup bad luck at work again....:( :(

Try to find Lil' Rays Seafood in Waveland(then let me know where it is). Best crawfish po boy I ever had. Wash it down with a bottle of Barqs and you're in roadfood heaven.

Expect to be bummed out by the beach. Since it's all mostly a shallow bay, it was never much to begin with but at least there were all those charming houses and shops. We followed the path of the storm and that reminded me of all the pictures of Hiroshima. Nothing standing but bare trees and by bare I mean stripped of the bark.

[marignygreg]

Hey Corona, I LOVE going out to Ship Island. You catch the ferry in Gulfport and have a 45 minute ride out. You will see plenty of dolphins on the way. Ship Island has white sand beaches, clear blue water and an old fort to check out.

There you are you handsome thang, you! I was just talking about you!!

[yehyourite]

I know that's why I came on ;)...

and of course I always want to be where Griff is...

[mariena]

We will be there! Pensacola beach is beautiful. It is only about a 3 hour drive from Nola.

Stalker! Have a great shot from the wedding I'm gonna send down soon (not the one of Big Dave sleeping).

[Jada]

I'm there/here :)
So glad some of ya'll can make it. Can't wait to see yas.

[funkkjunkie]

Wooohooo! Jada is a local!:D

[Leni]

I'll be there Wed before, leaving Tues after ... Don't want to miss Vaughan's on Thurs night or Bob French on Monday night, wherever it will be held. That was one of the highlights last year Monday night at dba, when Shamarr was still playing with Bob ...

[Belle]

Wooohooo! Jada is a local!:D

Second that one!!! WoooHooo! How is it going lady?

[sophisticated sissy]

Corona, I can't make Satchmo this year. Already have tix for another show on the 23rd. Wish I could be there for the Frenchman St. Strut and everything. But I am thrilled to hear that you will be there! I was getting kind of worried about you. Staying away from New Orleans until Festgiving is so not you! :)

[mightyradgumbo]

I will be there :D

[VWGal]

No, but I plan to live vicariously through my fellow Canajun, Corona -- who has demonstrated that she can handle that Africa hot!

[KeyWest Bruce]

:) Looks like I will most likely be there. I went last year for the first time, and it had been a while since I went to New Orleans in the summer. But, needless to say I had a wonderful time. I always take some time off in the summer, and usually go someplace else. And I was thinking of different places, and maybe some new destination....but Satchmo Fest was definitely on my mind. I'm getting concerned that I won't be seeing any other places if I keep taking my vacations in New Orleans:o But, you all know the story....I just keep getting drawn back....and with pleasure!! So, I put in for leave for a little over a week (just happened to be Satchmo Fest weekend, in CASE I decided to go to New Orleans after all;) Looks like I will....don't have any reservations yet....sure hope I can get a good deal on Hotwire or Priceline...after all it's summer! I would be there from the Sunday before till Monday after.

[marignygreg]

I hear ya Bruce, if I never 'found' New Orleans I would have traveled the globe twice over by now. O'h well, all those places pale in comparison. The last time I took a vacation that was not in N.O. was in 1994 when I took a cruise ( "it was free, otherwise I would have gone to...." ). I remember going to Colorado once to hike with my girlfriend, all I kept thinking was we should have gone to New Orleans. Hey, whatever gets you to that happy spot in your soul.

[funkkjunkie]

Bruce, there is a $54 deal for the frenchmen on bookit,I think.

[McGregor]

So true, Greg! A great time can ALWAYS be guaranteed, and I always feel so good when I'm there. I do love to travel however. Probably a trip to another country would do it....but I can't afford that right now, so I'll just have to settle for Satchmo Fest:D

[KeyWest Bruce]

October 1993 was my first trip to New Orleans and this coming Satchmo Fest wil be my 3rd Satchmo Fest and my 30th trip to New Orleans. I have never vacationed anywhere else since 1993.

Wow, Leni....you sound like me!;) But I have been to some other places and enjoyed myself....but no place has tugged at my heart like N'Awlins. And it is the only place where I go through withdrawals after leaving. Departure day is very hard on me.:(

As far as Satchmo Fest goes, I am having trouble finding a good fare. The connection that I usually take out of Key West via Miami is $690.00 roundtrip!! And I don't want anything that's going to get me into N.O. real late, and preferrably no real early departures on the return. Those are the cheaper fares however. So, I'm going to hold out a little longer and maybe I'll luck out. Also, package deals on Priceline, Hotwire and the others are NOT what they were last year. Everything is higher.....and a good deal is hard to find. I still have some time though.

What about coming in late the day before you intended to arrive so you won't miss anything? If your lodging is cheap enough, an extra night might not make a difference if your airfare is low enough as well.

Great, you should love it. The sandy white beaches are beautiful and it is not too built up. There are definitely areas where you can go for a less public beach. Definitely worth going. I hope you have a great time.

Check out the Sandshaker Bar. It's the place where the Bushwacker was invented and is a great local dive.

And if you need a dinner suggestion, go to Peg Leg Pete's. Wonderful seafood.

Mariena, have you been there recently? My daughter & I were there in '06. Due to the 'canes, the sand was not snow-white, as I recall. It used to look just like snow. I guess a lot of gray sand got stirred up and washed in. I wasn't disappointed, though. Still, it is very beautiful. The water is such a gorgeous color there.

And, you're right, even though there was rebuilding going on at that time, it still isn't too over developed. There is a public beach where my daughter spend the entire afternoon with not another soul in sight.

Hey, We go there a couple times a year, only a 45 minute drive from our home. I can't recall that the sand is grey, but then I am not the most observant person in the world. I will check it out in a couple of weeks when we go over to watch the Blue Angels fly and will post a report. It is still a gorgeous place, just don't remember about the sand now that you mention it.

We spent 2 months in exile in Pensacola in 9/05.. at that time there was some serious work going on where they were pumping in new sand from offshore and rebuilding the beaches and dunes. Maybe the newly pumped sand is not as bleached?? But on our trip last year 9/07 the sand was as beautiful as ever!! Sometimes they have events which cause it to turn (red tide, etc.)

I think too the further you travel east, Destin, Panama City the whiter it gets.

Seguenon Kone and the Cote d'Ivoire Invasion
10 p.m. Fri., July 11
Maple Leaf Bar, 8316 Oak St., 866-9359

In June, West African percussionist Seguenon Kone played a series of gigs, drum circles and workshops in New Orleans that were so well received, word has it he's decided to become a permanent resident. All the better for us: The dancer/fire-eater/multi-instrumentalist's shows are a lively spectacle, showcasing his mastery of many traditional African instruments — balafon, doundoun, djembe, atougblan, shekere, other unfamiliar percussive items and castanets. He also plays flute, dances and, yes, eats fire. Kone helped found the performance troupe Le Ballet Ivoire Spectacle, is a former member of the Ballet National of the Ivory Coast, and a respected teacher of drums and dance. Tickets $10. — Alison Fensterstock

I need cubes for all the activities at the Chez Davifer Rooney Ibjammin Festival.

LOL!! :D The pattern has been, just come over any morning and as people wake-up, they stumble out onto the patio. Some grab a beer, others a bloody mary, some are trying to rehydrate from the night before. ;) The conversations out there are deep, philosophical and highly amusing!

[yehyourite]

So when the boots start dragging around so loud upstairs that you can here them downstairs it is time?

Any events planned yet Thursday? :)

yyr, Q, I'm having a hard time imagining lis always being the first one up but i can't testify because i'm definitely not the first one up. Unless i'm needed as sous chef. :)

[eat_mo_crawfish]

Heehee, that picture cracks me up, from first FestGiving, right? Between gutting my folks' house with play_mo and ohio all day and patrying all night, I was mo_sleepy.

I'll be in Friday and out Monday for Snatchmo this year, going to be a special one for sure. My folks just moved back to NO (well, actually Kenner) this past Saturday and this will be my first visit to see them. They lived with me for exactly 2 years and 10 months after being rescued from the flood (but who's counting, right?). Kinda nice to be back to abnormal.

See ya on Frenchman Street!

You folks can fight all you want about who gets up first, but whoever it is, just make sure you get the coffee started, please.

YYR > Is that 2 shows? Both at HOB?

I hope we can still make it. We've had some tough news this past week. My mother in law has terminal cancer. We're probably going to have to miss it but that's the way it goes. To top it off, I get home last night after being gone for a week dealing with all of this and a tree has fallen through the kitchen. Just what I need to deal with right now, a big hole in my house.

When it rains, it pours.

Sorry to hear that your hands are so full of unpleasantness. Hope you roof is covered by now and that your mom-in-law is not suffering.

Ah - HA!! That proves it!! Lis always makes the upstairs coffee!!! ;)
Yup, as far as upstairs goes....I'm definitely the first one up.....then I head out onto the patio to smoke with Q.....she's downing diet cokes and I'm downing coffee lol.

Love that pic of Eat-Mo....that's the same morning that I fell asleep sitting up with a smoke in my hand after drinking a bloody and then proceeded to throw up when the chicken livers were served at Praline Connection later that morning lol! Ah, good times :)

ah shit Wynn :(

I'm praying that Ed and I are going to make Satchmo too. My dad is in really bad shape and has been in intensive care on a ventilator since last wed. night. He flatlined at emerg and the docs still don't know why or if it's cancer related. He now has a tracheotomy breathing with the ventilator and he's not stable yet. It's been hell. That's why I haven't been around at all. Had a few minutes to drop in and try to catch up and have a mental break this morning. Off to the hospital soon for our friggin daily vigil. Any karma you can send north would be HUGELY appreciated cuz we're scared shitless.

Thanks again everyone for the well wishes. The kitchen is fine/fixed and we are just waiting and praying for the best with the mother-in-law.

Hopefully, she passes soon. She is not well for certain.

It's amazing how well wishes from people you've never met make you feel so much better, thank you!

If you are touring the Mississippi Gulf Coast, check out Ocean Springs - there are lotsa cool little shops near the RR tracks, not far from the beach

they weren't hit as hard as Waveland/Biloxi/Gulfport so there are more shops open

[Michelino]

Thanks everyone! Like Mac said...reading all the good wishes, karma and support on here really does help. Talk soon (((((Threadheads))))))

Take care...will add our prayers to the rest here. We have had two close relatives who were in similar situations in the past few months and spent a few days walking the halls outside intensive care. Both eventually got off the ventilators, out of the ICU and back to their lives and we hope for the same for your dad.

Thanks Lis...much appreciated. He breathed without the ventilator for 8 straight hours yesterday so that's great progress for sure....now infection is setting in and all that stuff. Step by step....he'll be in ICU til next week for sure and then hopefully we'll know more. MRI came back clear for brain tumour or brain damage from the radiation. Another small miracle :)
All the prayers and karma seem to be working little by little. Thank you!

This stuff is crazy and yyr...62 and going through all this...just ain't right. We still don't know what's wrong with him...it's not the cancer or a new tumor....docs are baffled. We need House bad......

Lots of karma & love headed to Canada from NE LA.

[ScoopJohnD]

Lots of prayers and good thoughts from Joisey for you and your family.

[Corona]

Again, thanks so much everyone! No change today...he's still struggling. Thanks for all the prayers and karma!
Mac, if you're around....sending more karma and prayers for your mother-in-law and your family!

[McGregor]

Thanks Corona. My thoughts/prayers are most definitely with you and your family as well.

I'm sure most of you have accomodations for Satchmo already but I'm coming up on the ten day period where I can still cancel a room at the Frenchmen. It's the suite with the balcony, etc.

If anyone is interested, post here before 4pm today and I'll work it out. Otherwise, it'll be available as of later today.

Lisa, you may want to call the World Ministry of Prayer 1-800-421-9600. They are all wonderful prayer practitioners - 24 hours a day. I've used them on several occasions and I don't know if it was because of them, but things turned around after I called. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

[peteup]

Hey Corona and Mac...that's awful news. Real good karma blowing both your ways from way deep down under.

[Corona]

Hey thanks you guys! Peteup...nice to see you back on here :)

Dad is in worse shape with more infections and stuff. Not sure what's going to happen. Just praying that whatever happens, happens soon...a turn for the better or the end....his suffering is unbearable. I can't thank you enough for all your thoughts, prayers, text messages and emails. Take care and talk soon.

[Cleophus]

Good luck and best wishes to you and your family with this, Corona -- stay strong.

[Cleophus]

You too, McGregor -- I hope your spouse is doing as well as possible under the difficult circumstances.
And I hope the damage to the house gets fixed soon.

[peteup]

Cheers Corona.... still lurk 'round the board and post every now and then...'specially as we're putting into place the plan to be back at fest next year! In the meantime, sending the good karma and prayers for your dad.

Hooray for you coming back to fest :) :)

Thanks for the karma and good wishes pete and Cleo. The karma may be working...dad had a very good day yesterday and was alert the whole day and breathing well. Fingers crossed that he's turned the corner!

Continued thoughts and prayers going up North to you Lis....

[Corona]

Thanks Rosie. If dad continues like he did yesterday, it would be another small miracle. Your prayers and karma means more to me and my family than you would ever know! Love you guys!

[tabasco]

(((((LIS))))))) Wow I am so sorry:( ... I haven't been on the board that much lately either. My Grandmother passed last week, she was 90. Went quick too. We just put her into an assisted living facility she was there for a week, didnt feel good one morning, started to look really bad, so they sent her to the hospital... She died in the ambulance on the way there. Her health was fairly good up to then? So she didn't suffer long.

But you are 100% right about 62 being way too young! We will be sending good karma and prayers to your dad and everyone else involved. My father in law had a very similar experience about 2 years ago... They didn't think he was going to make it either...And the doctors had no clue....He made a turn for the better one day, and it just kept going! He's back to normal now and doesn't remember much of his ordeal in the hospital. Even though your dad might look like he's suffering a lot now, when he turns that corner and gets out of the hospital, hopefully he wont remember the bad times either.

[swag]

Sory for your loss, Tab.

[Carolina Beadhead]

Condolences here, too...

But, damn, when it's my time to go THAT'S the way I want it to play out...

Oh Tab...so sorry for your grandma but it sounds like a relatively peaceful passing without having to deal with all the poking and prodding in the hospital. Good for her but so sorry for your loss.

Dad had a relatively good day and was pretty alert by the end of the night tonight. Cautiously optimistic for sure.....small miracles and baby steps....that's what it's all about. From your mouth to god's ear that my dad follows in your dad-in-law's footsteps and turns that corner. Miss you bro!

Hey Tab, my condolences to you and your family on your grandmother's passing.

[Cleophus]

Great to hear the good news on your Dad, Corona.


Tabasco, sorry for your loss. :(

[Corona]

Thanks bro. Big meeting this morning with the docs...we called it. Its' been two weeks today that he's been in ICU. We need some answers other than "we're still waiting for the test results". Hard to stay patient I guess huh?

I truly love you guys for letting me post on here. I know it's selfish because there are so many other T-heads that must be having a hard time too. I just feel comfortable because I've known so many of you for so many years now. There's solace in that xoxoxox

[ScoopJohnD]

Good and healing thoughts still coming your way from Joisey, Lis. And prayers for you and yours Tabasco.

[NYMAMA]

((((((TAB)))))) My condolences to you and your family. I'm sure you must find some comfort that she didn't suffer .

[sharon_loves_fats]

Been there several times and we will pray for the best. And as I mentioned, we have seen two miraculous recoveries after each person spent a few weeks in the ICU so I firmly believe that these are possible. In the case of a dear cousin in March, we were camped in the waiting room on and off for nearly three weeks, I'm not quite sure that she ever got an answer as to why she had fallen into a coma and needed the respirator. But she is home and happy now....there was a time that looked impossible.

IMO, asking other people for their love and good wishes in a time of need, is not selfish Lis...it is just trusting your friends.

[Michelino]

Bill, sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. Marcia and I send our condolences to you and your family.

[peteup]

I hope it all stays good Corona - good luck with the meeting!

Sorry to hear 'bout your grandma, Tab. It's sad when we lose the old connections to the times way before we were born.

[Zydekitten]

Tab - I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother. My condolences are with you and your family.

I'm sure she would want you all to feel the warmth and love and happiness that she gave you while she was here to continue, so here's some from me during this time of sadness:

[tabasco]

Thank you again....((((Threadheads))))) Not really sure why I posted that :o but your very kind words are surely welcome. I'm very grateful she didn't suffer and heck she made it to 90!!! I could only hope for so much.

But can I please turn the thread back to healing vibes for Corona's dad and McGregor's mom in law. I think us threadheads are a pretty powerful bunch and with all the love, karma, good vibes, and whatever else we can throw our extended family's way I BELIEVE will help in ways that can astound. :)

[festbabe]

A hug out to all y'all in need of one. I'll keep you in my thoughts

[Corona]

I know I keep saying thank you over and over again but I really am so thankful. The meeting yesterday went okay....doc says dad is doing a "bit better which is better than a bit worse". He said my dad's case is complicated in a number of ways but they are making progress bit by bit and are on top of every new development...they just need to get him to respond to the antibiotics for sepsis and cellulitis (around his tracheotomy). This is what the docs are calling his infection and it's scary friggin stuff!
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8307

BUT, he's been breathing off the ventilator for almost a day and a half now and that's fantastic. All tests are coming back clear except for the infection test...but still that's awesome news. SO baby steps and being grateful for even the tiniest of miracles. I do believe in Threadhead karma and I KNOW all the positive vibes and prayers are working.
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
(((((((((((((((Threadheads)))))))))))))))

[rosetree]

We love ya Baybee!
Keep strong, and tell your daddy to keep fighting and that we are gonna keep sending positive vibes and good karma as long as he needs it!

Lis, that MRSA is real scary stuff. But I know 2 people (including one who was very gravely ill) who had it & have recovered from it completely... so it's not hopeless. Sending more healing loving energy to your Dad & family.

[Corona]

Aww thanks you guys! I love the stories about people who have survived all this shit.

Dad had an AWESOME day today....sitting up in a chair and we watched Lady Sings the Blues (I bought it for him for father's day). He watched quite a bit of it....when it comes to Diana Ross.....dad will pay attention lol! He's totally breathing on his own now and all he asks for over and over again is for ice cream lol. (He can't talk or eat cuz of the trach) Talked to him alot today about the need to keep fighting and how much progress he's making. He seemed to get it and I'm so damn proud of him!! My mantra...baby steps...baby steps......

Jimmy played at this week's Wednesday on the Point (along with Amanda Walker)....he was freakin' fantastic! His sound was just amazing....sounded like two or three people at once....his version of "Kashmir" was killer...It's not dance music, but it was a great performance! :D

LOL!! Yep, usually that twilight time between the fest and nighttime activites, when people are taking turns getting getting showered (try as we might, we've never been able to get more than 3 people in there at the same time!) folks are "holding down" the patio and perusing the ice chest. ;)

It reminds me of that first Festgiving. We had just gotten power back the day before our 7 houseguests arrived, but we didn't have gas back yet. David went out & bought a lil bitty 50 gallon electric hot water heater, so we could have hot water. (He had planned to run it off the generator, if needed.) Folks reallllly had to wait for a shower then, maybe 20 or 30 minutes. But it was ok, fun even. :)

not yet Leni....Threadhead nation seems to be working wonders....what is it exactly? Is there a cost involved? Just curious.

No cost involved. Only a donation if you wish to donate. They are a non-denominational group of prayer practitioners, I think loosely affiliated with the Church of Religious Science, which has nothing to do with Christian Scientists or Scientology, but is based on positive thinking and metaphysics -- how our thoughts are very powerful, which is why prayer is very powerful ... you should definitely give them a call. They will do a "healing" prayer for your dad with you over the phone. Here's their website: www.wmop.org (800/421-9600).
