[jolie]

It's getting close and I know everyones firming up there plans so I'm trying to get a better idea of how many will be in attendance.. I'm gonna give this poll thing a try.

[MzJoey]

Didja ya give directions on the other post?

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

No I think I removed my address from the original post. I will happily e-mail directions to anyone who needs them (cantrellclack at bellsouth dot net) Also they are on the event page on Facebook.

[Moon]

Our presence there all depends on what time of day we're in that neck of the woods. We'll be driving from Atlanta and might need to hit the hotel first.

You were staying in Abita??

[stlbarb]

i danced while i voted. does that make it a poll dance?

i'm +1, maybe more, but the more will be arriving for happy hour only.

if you have the need for bud select bottle caps, i can bring 10k. you could make a Clydesdale out of them. ;)

[Staxsun]

I really want to make it. That day is so full, I can't be sure. Even with skipping a bunch of things I normally do on Wednesday, the day's real loaded. I have to be back in the Kworeturr for the Stomp that night.

[piscesgirl]

Hey, Jolie, I couldn't miss an event on da Nawthshore, dawlin! Will probably be later in the afternoon, though. That okay? What time are you planning to shove the last people off your property?

LOL!! The Queen of New Orleans...

I'll take bud select.. people do request fleur de lis' in caps other than Abita. I can make fish and fleur de lis, no horses.

Hey Gail.... I think I put 1-7 in the original post.. though as I'm sure you know sometimes the pest of the season (gnats/mosquitos) run folks off sooner, usually around sunset. Hopefully well be in a 'tween season?

my %^&$ bbf saves them to play cap ball with. you pitch the caps and use an old broomstick as the bat. he's been saving them for 7 years. has played cap ball 0 times.

I've never heard of this game but it might make for interesting entertainment at the Bash...

[stynger]

Michelle and I WILL be there after hitting Rosetreefest. We can transport two or three folks for the ride up. :D

I swear I had never heard of these.. Horseshoes, yeah. And they're banned from sale in the U.S. and Canada due to deaths:eek: I think just having this group near the water is enough risk for me.. Suppose we'll skip the sticks and jarts

Or you can just make those stick thingies where you nail a bunch of bottletops to a broomstick and it morphs into a musical instrument.

I don't know, Oz, do you think we'll be able to find any bottlecaps at Jolie's? :p

This is a fun drunk game in fact much better when drunk

[Lit]

Unfortunately we leave on Wednesday morning and so will miss this great bash and RT III as well. But I just wanted to note that the Slip-n-Slide makes a tremendously fun, water-oriented party activity. Especially for adults.

[ABITAGIRL1]

We arrrive in NO at 11:30am, hoping for early check in at Hilton TH Headquarters and then plan to come out in the later afternoon. I think we may rent a car at the airport then I could try to make it to RT fest too.

[Zydekitten]

I've heard of lawn darts, but not Jarts (so don't feel bad, Ms. Jolie).

In other news: Mr. NOLA and I will be at the Bayou Bash and Berl with bells on, probably in the earlyish afternoon (and would be happy to carry some folks up there/back if that works for anyone)!

it may cost a few more $, but you should be able to get an airport rental you can drop in the quarter.
well worth paying for a car for a day, gets you from the airport, you can do a grocery run, a stop in Algiers for RTF and then a lovely drive to the northshore.

and check swag's site on those $10 per day cars.........maybe it was alamo? I dunno - but Swag has the 411......no doubt.

[Michelino]

Me and Mrs after Rosetreefest if we can catch a ride...Mark/Stynger...you still have room?

Jarts were of the late slinky/flubber era, if I remember my fads. And in hindsight, the Frisbee version was a whole lot safer.

[swag]

It was Alamo, but was only valid on weekends, and I think it's expired anyway.

[i wanna be in NOLA]

The squirrels will be there, Jolie (2 total). We're going to do the Abita brewery tour and then over to your place. I'll email you for directions and give you a cell number if you want us to make a grocery stop along the way.

It looks like they have a one hour tour/tasting on Wednesdays at 2:00.

unless its changed, they dont give tours during the week due to liability/insurance issues.

update: i was looking for our posts on abita tours from 2007, but i found this from Jolie stating the tours are wed-sat. so i guess some things do change for the better.

fyi - from abita.com
"Closed toe shoes are required to tour the brew house."

also, i find it interesting that the tasting room & tours are in covington?

[festbabe]

Hey Jolie - you can change Mike & me from "probably" to "certainly" - and we have a car and could take a few folks if anyone is looking for a ride? We'll probably head from Rosetreefest to Bayou Bash - and not stay too late since we're staying with friends in Baton Rouge and I don't want to be a rude house guest and come stumbling home too late.

Yes, the Brewery tour & tasting and the Brew Pub are not the same. The Brewery is located on Hwy 36 (didn't realize it was considered Covington) and the Brew Pub is about a mile away in Abita. The Brew Pub has a full menu and all of it's beers on tap. (You can get a sampler there too)..

Jolie, I will be there, do I need to make a contribution? I can consume a shameless amount of tails, and ersters. I don't want to put you into debt!!!!! I will be glad to deliver Abita as well!!!!

[stlbarb]

i'm bringing an antipasto plate (yes, there will be olives), gooey butter cake for dessert (or breakfast the next day) and an assortment of micro brews from Schlafly (st. louis). i would like to trade those beers for some Abitas.

[Lostcajun]

You got it!!!!!!!!! Fortunately it's not far from Abita to Jolie's place

I really can't wait!!! This will also help me at the Patry. Two years ago, I was crazy, and consumed more than my share of crawfish. They had to set a new policy because of ME (head hanging in shame). Last year, many THs (who are less enthusiastic about crawfish) took pity on me and after I received my single share of crawfish, offered me about five more servings! May they all be blessed.....

AHAH!!!!
I've gone to two Patries and have yet to get a plate of crawfish! Now I know where they went. I admit that we did not get there until 4 or so, but.......this year we are getting there earlier...I WILL GET MY SHARE THIS YEAR!!!!! ;) :D

I was lucky (?) enough to witness LC at work at the 07 Patry, as he mowed through 7 plates of mudbugs. Wisely, I was careful to keep my hands close to me, as I could have lost a digit or two . . .

Bless his heart, Kurt DOES love his crawfish!

No we don't have to stop at 7PM, but we are going to start at 1 PM:) ... the crawfish will be plenty... but NOT unlimited.

I'm going to order (x) amount of lbs/peron for what looks like between 30-40 people. I know not everyone eats crawfish, and some eat more than others (ME!!) so it should all even out.

I'll order next Wednesday..so folks still have time to decide.

For you non crawfish eaters there will be sausage, taters, corn. Popeye's and other assorted sandwiches and stuff.

Still in the air about the Oysters (will definately check the price/availability)
and speak to the hubs about shucking.

DONATIONS?!?? Absolutely not!!... I have been planning on doing this since last Jazz Fest! If Jude can shuck, he's hired:)

A full cooler sounds great, bring a change of clothes/swimsuit if you plan on getting wet, and a fest chair (if you don't have a fest chair.. no biggie, there's seating and lotsa grass)
