Yes, the FOMS (Fear of Missing Something....in case newcomers don't know what this means...I sure didn't) is becoming an issue even now. The amount of music and events during the fest is overwhelming! Wonderfully so. But jeez.....I'm gonna have to be in top form to make it to everything that I want to do, since I am there for both weekends. This will be my first Patry, so I am very excited about that. Then there's Instruments a Comin', Mo Fest, Wednesday in the Park, an incredible selection of nighttime shows, record shop appearances.......what can I say! No doubt that this is the greatest musical event in the world....I haven't been everywhere obviously, but this has got to be as good as it gets! Also, this trip is not going to be cheap by any means. There's also posters to buy. But hey, that's what we live for; that's certainly what I work for, and if it was more than once a year, I'd be there as well! Probably broke but as happy as a lark!

Of course!!! I'm aiming to be there late morning or early afternoon at the latest, but I'm on the "Chateau Lemoyne" bus so I'll be there whenever those with the car embark :)
Rosetree fest is a priority! We'll probably get our wavy bowl that day :)

Yeah, I'm not much of a baseball fan so I'm gonna skip that one :)
Bowl is going to be my late xmas and bday present, woo hoo!! :)

You don't like baseball???!! :eek:
Well, then I guess I won't get to see you guys at any Giants games :(
Amy Winette
03-02-2007, 08:13 PM
I like the Giants ball park (when it isn't FREEZING!!) so occasionally I'll go to a game for the atmosphere (on a NICE day). Jeff goes a lot more with other friends though.
Give me football! (But not Niners or Raiders). Or hockey.

03-02-2007, 09:48 PM

Amy Winette
03-02-2007, 11:04 PM
Rosetree's blowing glass and giving us drinks, that's pretty perfect for me! :)

Amy's right..no music this year, maybe next...just some amazing glassblowing, some great muffellattas, and some fine mimosas. :D (and maybe some cold, cold Abita for this krewe)

W'a'a'a'a...I want a Orlando Cepeda "Cha Cha Bowl" for breakfast washed down with a cold Anchor Steam! Yeah, it's early but it would be good training for Jazz Fest.
The atmosphere and food at "Pac Bell" (I'm a purist and won't use any other name) is great. Wonderful place to see a game.

what's the timing for this RT? I have to find a way to get Sam and Amanda to the airport for 3:00 that afternoon. May be a bit tough to get to the West Bank and then the airport. We're gonna try though....fingers crossed!

Haha, yep, I'm cheap to book -- just give me a little booze ;) Want me to bring my own karaoke machine??

Yeah, who even knows what it's called these days -- SBC, or has that changed too?? Our San Fran office is right across the street, open a window and you can hear the game on game day.

Lis.... We are going to start pouring mimosas (and blowing glass) at 9:00. That should be enough time to get ova, hang a little bit, and get the festalvirgins to the airport in plenty of time.;) :D
