ROSETREFEST III
Where: Rosetree Blown Glass Studio and Gallery
446 Vallette St on da Point....
When: Wednesday April 29 (tween Wednesday)
Time: 12:00 - 5:00 (if it changes, I'll let ya know )
What: For those who have never been, and all of our newbies, this is an informal get-together for Threadheads to relax, eat, drink, and put faces with the names you see on da Bored.
We will be serving DiMartino's Famous Muffalettas (with and without olives), cold, cold Abita beer, mimosas, and whatever we can throw together.

We will also be demonstrating a little bit of glass artistry (or wizardry) and rumor has it that we will be making the bowl that Jerseygirl won in last year's auction.
Come on out and pass a good time with your Threadhead family! Everyone is welcome!

[rosetree]

Tea spew.

Shaddup! ;) :p

[Frosty]

Sucks I can't be there. More olives for the rest of you!!!

BTW, are the Christmas pumpkins ready yet?

[Belle]

We will also be demonstrating a little bit of glass artistry (or wizardry) and rumor has it that we will be making the bowl that Jerseygirl won in last year's auction.

It is so much fun watching your bowl come together. Could be her own wedding gift too!!!

Jerseygirl you wont believe your eyes. To see his art in person is wonderful but to see him put it all together is a whole other matter. Have fun everyone who is going and if you are on the fence....just go!!!

[MzJoey]

Rosie, this is a mighty nice neighborly invite extended to the threadhead nation. Thank you and the missus very much! I look forward to seeing your studio.

Frosty, hows baby Frosty?

I used to be a non-jovi, but my newbie informs me that we are now with the jovi's...(ya jus gotta compromise sometimes!)

[kdogg6977]

Yes, it is official, my vote is in for our attendance at this glorious of glorious of momentus of extravagant events! I believe we will be 8 large and hopefully packing some rootbeer for the HOST! Rosie...just a reminder, we will prolly take you up on that parking spot, Lost your email and or forgot it. What is the best way to get there from the Quarter House?

[stlbarb]

Can I be a brat and just say I wish I was gonna be there!! Just had to do it.

can i be your twin brat? also sadly must decline.

but its great to see a Poll on the bored again. its been a long time.

[Frosty]

Frosty, hows baby Frosty?



The little snowball is good. He's not a very fussy baby and his big sisters love to hold him. I've been working on teaching him his first word, Tchoupitoulas.

[MzJoey]

..glad to hear y'all doing fine. Not fussy, that's even better, he's just picking up the kewl vibe from the rest of ya's!
Kids in my family usually learn "eat" first...

[rosetree]

Yes, it is official, my vote is in for our attendance at this glorious of glorious of momentus of extravagant events! I believe we will be 8 large and hopefully packing some rootbeer for the HOST! Rosie...just a reminder, we will prolly take you up on that parking spot, Lost your email and or forgot it. What is the best way to get there from the Quarter House?

The best way is come across on the ferry....
Here is Onj's map to get here from da River....

Id take the bridge or the ferry ... cars dont float

[Rossvegas]

Damn. I'll be waving goodbye to NOLA just y'all are biting into your first muffalletta....shitshitshit.

[Irishnms]

Damn. I'll be waving goodbye to NOLA just y'all are biting into your first muffalletta....shitshitshit.

WE TOLD YOU SO!!!! Even your 'voice of reason' told you so!

[VWGal]

VWGal and VWGirl will be representing! I am so pumped to see MY new willow vase, right Rosey??

Oh and when we disembark the ferry, we'll turn and wave bye-bye to Uncle Ross as he leaves NOLA. Why people think they can just visit for a few days after they've been doing the whole enchilada for years is really just beyond me!!!! ;)

(Oh well, at least we got you there for one weekend...and a daze or two....)

And Rosey, we both LOVE olives! VWGirl has told me she plans to conduct her very own New Orleans-muffelata-tasting odyssey, she loves olive salad that much. I can't believe that I will be able to have a conversation with family about the relative merits of Di Martino's versus Central Grocery versus.....

[swag]

It took us a couple of months to get Ross to commit to coming to Fest at all. So no surprise that it'll take a little more time - but we have a few more weeks to convince him to stay for the whole enchilada.

Or the addition of that hot red-haired nurse (the one being discussed on other threads) to his personal Jazzfest cubes.

[rosetree]

Halle Barry got an invite, I'm just waiting for her rsvp! ;)

[sophisticated sissy]

Should we get tickets in advance? Does this event sell out? Is there any way to avoid T****tM****r fees? :p

[NYMAMA]

Halle Barry got an invite, I'm just waiting for her rsvp! ;)

What about the PITT family?

[rosetree]

Should we get tickets in advance? Does this event sell out? Is there any way to avoid T****tM****r fees? :p

The only thing that might run out are the muffalettas...
We have plenty of glass and demos!
This is a free, yes, free event, so no T****t M****r fees! ;)

[sophisticated sissy]

Y-a-a-a-y!!
I'll be there early then.

Who's working the velvet rope this year? ;)

[rosetree]

Y-a-a-a-y!!
I'll be there early then.

Who's working the velvet rope this year? ;)

No velvet rope or red carpet this year (it's the economy) all we've got is some down and dirty glassblowing and lunch and good times with friends!:D

[sophisticated sissy]

Sounds good to me, Artie! :)

[almarco]

I guess this is my rsvp , extra olives please......

[BigDag]

The only thing that might run out are the muffalettas...

So I'll get there early.

I'm a hungry guy.

[rosetree]

I guess this is my rsvp , extra olives please......

Only if you get rid of that silly hat! :p

[almarco]

Only if you get rid of that silly hat! :p

I WOULD IF I COULD FIND THE TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT.

[Lostcajun]

Cher, can you have some cajun music playing on da music box, yea.....

[pokerchick66]

I WOULD IF I COULD FIND THE TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT.

CBH can do it for you!

[festivalgirl]

I'm one of the "With Three Guests" ..... Me & Steve + 2!

[NeenAtlanta]

Me and my guest are "maybes" - no option on the poll for that.

[sophisticated sissy]

Whoa! Rosie's got over 90 peeps so far! Better make a trip to Costco & stock up on the T.P., and I don't mean newspapaper!:)

[Zydekitten]

Sadly, we have no Costcos down here in LA. . . I miss them SO much (sniff)! :(

[sophisticated sissy]

Oh, well, make that "your local warehouse store", instead.:)

[Belle]

Looking like you will have lots of peep Rosie!!! WooHoo Just wish I was one of them. We are buying something special at the Fest though. Nothing like Rosetree Glass for a wedding gift.

I'm just SOOOOOO glad that y'all are going to be able to make it down for the Fest! Everything else is just lagniappe! :D

[duende]

Nothing like Rosetree Glass for a wedding gift.

Except getting the kids to actually tie the knot! ;) The goblets we bought last year are as-yet un-nuptialized... wife wouldn't let me give'em as Christmas gifts, so they are really gonna have to get married to get'em.
