[Amy Winette]

We've got it going on the computer -- I'm not sure who is on right now, but Natalie is rocking out :)

Sorry you'll miss it Belle! I was hoping to get something done with my hair but can't get in til Wednesday. Lotta grays to cover . . .

[Lit]

Thanks for the heads up on this, y'all. Tuned in to NOLA cam now :)

Are you, like me, wondering whether we look as un-hip as that crowd?

[Carolina Beadhead]

Are you, like me, wondering whether we look as un-hip as that crowd?

Oh, I'm positive we do...

We have hip hearts though.

[Lit]

Oh, I'm positive we do...

We have hip hearts though.

YYR. That's what I'm thinking too. I hope that tall dude with the baseball cap moves out before Bouchez though. I feel like I want to move around him but I can't...

[Carolina Beadhead]

YYR. That's what I'm thinking too. I hope that tall dude with the baseball cap moves out before Bouchez though. I feel like I want to move around him but I can't...

You know, I was just wondering why they didn't station the camera just a leeetle bit higher.

[rosetree]

YYR. That's what I'm thinking too. I hope that tall dude with the baseball cap moves out before Bouchez though. I feel like I want to move around him but I can't...

If we all concentrate, we can move him with Threadhead power!:D

[rosetree]

There! He sat down!

[Apostrophe (')]

If we all concentrate, we can move him with Threadhead power!:D

Tuned in and concentrating :)

It worked!

[glinda]

..and we didn't even have to yell down in front.

[festbabe]

Are you, like me, wondering whether we look as un-hip as that crowd?

Um, no. I know I look like dorkus festivus.

[Lit]

Hey Rosie, why ain't you dere?

[festbabe]

I keep waving and shouting out to Paul while he's setting up. He doesn't seem to hear me.

[rosetree]

Hey Rosie, why ain't you dere?

How do you know that I'm not????

I'm home catching up on errands and life....working 6 days/12hrs a day takes it out of ya ;)

[Carolina Beadhead]

Um, no. I know I look like dorkus festivus.

Can anybody drew cartoonish caricatures? I'd love to have a caricuture of a JF couple with that under the picture... on a Tshirt! :D

[rosetree]

Why can't they raise the cameras up a bit?:confused:

[Lit]

Um, no. I know I look like dorkus festivus.

I know it too, but I try to delude myself into thinking otherwise. Oh, and I'm not getting old, and I don't have a bald spot either.

[almarco]

I know it too, but I try to delude myself into thinking otherwise. Oh, and I'm not getting old, and I don't have a bald spot either.

I know im a fest dork ...whats your excuse?

[Michelino]

Are you, like me, wondering whether we look as un-hip as that crowd?

Actually, the opposite, I make that crowd look like it is ready for a night out at The Ritz.

Concert time...gotta go..

[festbabe]

LOL @ ship - looked like they all turned and watched it come into the frame.

[Lit]

How do you know that I'm not????

I'm home catching up on errands and life....working 6 days/12hrs a day takes it out of ya ;)

Well, I figured you wouldn't bring your computer to the fest, but I suppose anything is possible. Swag probably has his.

I hear ya on the work; I'm actually in the office now and I'm supposed to be working to make for an easier departure later this week, but I had to check the bored and find out about this...damn!

[Apostrophe (')]

Um, no. I know I look like dorkus festivus.

Hahaha, I'm with you festbabe :)

Can anybody drew cartoonish caricatures? I'd love to have a caricuture of a JF couple with that under the picture... on a Tshirt! :D

Ooh, can't draw but that would make a great shirt :)

[Carolina Beadhead]

Sing it, John!!

[festbabe]

..

I hear ya on the work; I'm actually in the office now and I'm supposed to be working to make for an easier departure later this week, but I had to check the bored and find out about this...damn!

+1 I'm supposed to be working now (sigh)

[festbabe]

Sing it, John!!

I'm sitting here applauding at the end of the tune (dorkus).

[Amy Winette]

Alright, it's sounding great!

Work can wait a bit :)

[rosetree]

I'm sitting here applauding at the end of the tune (dorkus).

I was thinking that there were some THs out there doing that!:D LOL

[Belle]

Pushed my hair appointment back a 1/2 hour! Coolio

[i wanna be in NOLA]

darn, I missed the first song of the set. What did they start with?

[Lit]

+1 I'm supposed to be working now (sigh)

I'm multi-tasking: I also have the Mets gamecast on in another window...

[Lit]

Stew

[festbabe]

[Belle]

I'll take a bag of Jumbos from that peanut vendor that keeps walking by....


Mee too! but that damn nut allergy would raise its head. Nothing like a paper bag filled with warm peanuts or cashews. Hope he is making a buck or two.

[jhjpotter]

Doing Prep work for Tuesday's raffle drawing!! Loving the sweet bouchez sounds!!

[Belle]

love seeing the boats & birds go by........

Nachez just for you Linda!!

[Belle]

[jhjpotter]

[i wanna be in NOLA]

I've lost the stream...

[Carolina Beadhead]

Ack!! I lost the feed!

[Lit]

[festbabe]

Yep - feed is gone.

[Carolina Beadhead]

:(

[festbabe]

keeps coming & going

[Amy Winette]

Damn, us too :(

Too many threadheads overloading the system??

AHHH, there it is!! Stay, stay!

[Mexi]

yay! Back on..oh darn nevermind

[Lit]

back up. door poppin

[Belle]

Back on kinda

[chrisjoseph]

going in and out. Too bad. Ruined my recording.

[Lit]

going in and out. Too bad. Ruined my recording.

Pretty stable for me now.

[ohio]

going in and out. Too bad. Ruined my recording.
I was recording too. I gave up, but it is back on steadily for the moment.

[Amy Winette]

Maybe you can just cut out door poppin Chris. It's pretty steady again here.

[festbabe]

That boat's gonna shashay right on by!

[chrisjoseph]

Ah, I turned my recording off....I'm just a listener now...

[i wanna be in NOLA]

2nd line!

[chrisjoseph]

was Paul just telling John the lyrics for this song? :)

[Amy Winette]

I think so :)

[i wanna be in NOLA]

yep.

[Carolina Beadhead]

He's done it a couple of times now. Boutte's still asleep, me thinks. :D

[i wanna be in NOLA]

There was one song they did at City Park last month that he fed him throughout the whole song. It was a riot!

[festbabe]

Isn't it John's song?

[Lit]

was Paul just telling John the lyrics for this song? :)

That's what I thought. Fed him the "Fear itself..." line.

[Festngator]

John rewriting as he goes:)

[festbabe]

Gettin' drunk and doing the wrong thing - woo-hoo! 4 daze!

[chrisjoseph]

I think the writing process they use is something like this: John tells a story about something....like his sister being the door poppin' queen of the Treme....Paul says "hey, that's a song!" Paul writes the music/lyrics, and then John tweaks both until the song is ready to go.

[festbabe]

"What's the first line?" :p

[Festngator]

must have been good brownies

[rosetree]

Still feeding him lines.....:eek:
Paul fed him these lines at City Park too

[i wanna be in NOLA]

There was one song they did at City Park last month that he fed him throughout the whole song. It was a riot!

It might have been "Don't Smoke Around Suzie"

[Festngator]

Vicki hopes he has it down by the Patry

[NYMAMA]

Ya gotta love dat guy.

[rosetree]

It might have been "Don't Smoke Around Suzie"

It was!
Maybe John should show up for rehearsals....he has the voice of an angel, but....

[i wanna be in NOLA]

THREADHEAD SONG COMING UP!!!

[rosetree]

SHOUT OUT!!!!!!

[Amy Winette]

Paul is a great spokesperson for us, isn't he? LOVE IT!!

[rosetree]

[Michelino]

I think I just heard two shoutouts to some sweet lady from OZ

[Amy Winette]

just makes me smile and big.

I hear that!! :)

[chrisjoseph]

[rosetree]

Bonerama

Y'all might not get anything done!

[Festngator]

The facebook post has made fans with some nonthreadheads thats great

[Amy Winette]

The facebook post has made fans with some nonthreadheads thats great

We just call those folks "future threadheads," eh? :)

[chrisjoseph]

as long as they pay a membership fee...

[IBROCKN]

Well, the end of the raffle is worth celebrating!! ;)

I'll get back to the raffle before the deadline, but for now: 2 bathrooms sparkling, the last load of clothes in the dryer (starting linens before Susan starts), and a little done in the kitchen. It really only has to be dusted occassionally as there is no actual cooking done there!
And I thought I wasn't motivated!:D

[i wanna be in NOLA]

It looks like we're about ready for Susan!

[Festngator]

And at the patry

[rosetree]

Ready, Steady, GO!!!

[rosetree]

Her head is cut off! :(

Duh.....technology.......

[NOLA]

Duh.....technology.......

You don't think I figured that out, do you? ;)

[funkkjunkie]

LOL! It's usually Paul who is forgetting lyrics.

[jolie]

Y'all recognize the voice of that announcer at the end?:cool:

[glinda]

Left for awhile when I lost the feed to get some stuff done. Back just in time for da bones!!!!

[NOLA]

YYR, Bones!!!

[glinda]

First time hearing them without Matt Perrine. Miss him. But who's playing keys? Or am I hearing things? Sure can't see any keyboard....

[MormonMatthew]

Let It Shine!!!

[stynger]

I was recording too. I gave up, but it is back on steadily for the moment.

I was recording John and Paul as well. If I'm not mistaken ( and I might be ) when that feed interrupted it picked up where it left off. So I'm going to try and edit and see how it sounds. If it comes out OK I'll have some copies when I get in town.

[Amy Winette]

Y'all recognize the voice of that announcer at the end?:cool:

No, who is it?

[glinda]

Too cute! A teeny bone.

[Lit]

First time hearing them without Matt Perrine. Miss him. But who's playing keys? Or am I hearing things? Sure can't see any keyboard....

Mullins just announced the keyboard player. He's not in the picture.

They still sound great, but YYR I miss Perrine too. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I sensed that Mullins' comment about having more fun than ever "for selfish reasons" with this new lineup was a bit of a dig at Perrine. I hope I'm wrong.

[Orleansnj]

How do you do that?

Nevermind.....we can discuss later.

BTW - I have some CDs to give you :)

[Amy Winette]

Ahhhh, Mark looks just as yummy as ever :)

[festbabe]

Yay! Back from errands to catch some 'bones this evening. Coolness.

that's funny - that's exactly what I thought....then I thought maybe they are insecure because they know what a good following Matt has - and they're trying to assure everyone that the band is just as good ?

[Orleansnj]

The video feed is really good.....I'm surprised..... happily !!!

[jolie]

No, who is it?

It's the same voice in the ice chest you here when entering and leaving Jazz Fest... He came on after Paul & John and then after Susan... just made me smile:)

Ahhhh, Mark looks just as yummy as ever :)
:D :D

[Lit]

that's funny - that's exactly what I thought....then I thought maybe they are insecure because they know what a good following Matt has - and they're trying to assure everyone that the band is just as good ?

Yeah, I'm guessing that was the intent too; it was just the "for selfish reasons" comment that hit a bit of a sour note with me.

[Michelino]

No Matt is hard to take...but what's with only Three Bones? Where is Steve now?

Things can't be that bad...the website says that Matt and Rick rejoined them for most of the second set at the Maple Leaf on April 10th

See http://boneramamusic.com/2009/04/06/bnr-easter-egg-huntthis-fri-maple-leaf/

[stynger]

How do you do that?

Nevermind.....we can discuss later.

In my best Mr. Burns voice "Excellent"

[Lit]

Yeah, I'm hoping that might happen at the Rock-n-Bowl show first Saturday. Admittedly I haven't cross-referenced the Grids to see if Matt has a conflict though.

[Amy Winette]

:D :D

Aha! Yes, now that you mention it :)

YYR! NOW I recognize Mr Cooler!

[Michelino]

Yeah, I'm hoping that might happen at the Rock-n-Bowl show first Saturday. Admittedly I haven't cross-referenced the Grids to see if Matt has a conflict though.

Thursday April 30th double bill with The Midnite Disturbers might be a possibility if you are still in town.

[Lit]

Thursday April 30th double bill with The Midnite Disturbers might be a possibility if you are still in town.

Unfortunately no. We leave on the 29th. But yeah, it sounds like a good bet for that show.

[MormonMatthew]

Shame if you kids missed that flight........

I should have waited...but I hate to keep it running- it sucks up big disk space and I was afraid I'd forget to shut it down since the music had stopped.

[mightyradgumbo]

Well we missed y'all but it was wicked fun! Bouchez and Susan giving nice TH shoutouts as you heard. Paul is a great champion of what we have done for sure.
At the end of the set, John and Paul were signing cds and Paul had his book there. Amyloves, Ozzie and I went over to say hi to Paul and they were swamped with people so we went over and helped. Paul sold all but three books that he brought and they sold almost two boxes of "Stew" plus a lot of Good Neighbor and Mystery Street. Very good day for TH records.

[i wanna be in NOLA]

Wow, that's great to hear!

[stynger]

I got a pretty decent recording. You can tell the edits in "door poppin" but it's not too destracting. I think it cut out about 15 times during that song but not in any others. Just give me the password and I'll slip ya one when I see ya'll. :D

[stynger]

Hey that is good news gumbo.

Fuzzy, but captures the spirit & rhythm. LOved seeing the satchmo statue in front of the passing riverboat....

[swag]

Surprised we haven't seen swag yet.

Tan cap, dark t-shirt, siting kind of tall towards the center. I left halfway thru, since I had to support the other THR artists playing at the same time (Nightcrawlers).
