The weekend Thread

[warren0728]

Haha, El Krashpadito saw that flick last Sunday and loved it. I'll be pretty much tied to the campsite all weekend, as it's a Scout thing and I'm sure I'll be asked to transport some besides my son.

enjoy it....we'll get together another time!

I've got two gigs this weekend - double honky tonk.

Hey Crash, how come you still got leaves on your trees? That ain't right.

There's a reason they call 'em "live oaks!" The above pics were just snatched from various places off the web, but we do still have leaves on the trees, of course. The trees get all confused in Gainesville and drop leaves for like 3 months solid when the cold finally comes.

On the other hand, it'll be in the 80's this weekend with night-time lows in the low 60's or high 50's, perfect outdoors weather.

Break a leg at your shows, and, of course, we'll need pics!

Well, every silver cloud has a dark lining. El Krashpadito went to summer camp with Scouts for a week in June or so, sleeping in tents, and it was miserable. I dunno how he did it. I went out for the day on Wednesday and again Friday to pick him up, and it was really really awful.

I don't like camping.

It's strange, because like so many Finns, I love & must have a summer house/cottage. And at the cottage there may be no running water and no electricity, and there must be no traffic or town within a dozen miles the least. There shall be a sauna by a lake and a jetty and a nice boat, and fireplaces and a grill hut and enough room for friends too. It must be close to nature but still get to sleep in a warm log cabin. Have lots of beers with friends.

Going there this Saturday w/2 friends...a dozen beers for each& a vodka bottle, lots of sauna and driving a waterjet&maybe some waterskiing.

That sounds like fun.

I like camping, but in good weather when it's cool out but not cold. A lot of the year, and basically all summer, it is too hot for me to go camping here in Florida, and be anything but miserable.

We had a very satisfying weekend, both musically and with family:

Thursday night:
My wife and I had our monthly viewing of Minneapolis-based Steely Dan cover band (appropriately named "Steeling Dan.") It's salve for the soul.

Friday night:
We went to a concert of brothers Matt and Dan Wilson (both of Trip Shakespeare and Dan of Semisonic fame). This was a very musically satisfying and entertaining evening)

Saturday:
We hung out with our little Kinship buddy, and later in the day had a very nice family gathering in which our daughter's fiancee got to meet (and be interrogated by) my wife's cousins' family.

This past weekend through last night my wife and I went through our drawings of the new kitchen and began checking on price and availability of appliances, cabinets, windows, tile, lighting, etc. Already this project has spread to other rooms and we haven't officially begun the work yet. That'll start in June. It's a good thing we've been saving for this project for a couple of years...

This weekend we're getting out of Dodge. It's off to Seattle to see a couple of nephews and some friends, then down to Oregon to sample some of their famous Pinot Noir's, then over to Bend to visit one of my wife's former colleagues. We've never been to Oregon before, so we'll be adding that to the list of states we've visited. Should be fun...

Ahhhh............................BEER !!! new to this site...... so far it's great. I am in Salt Lake, I played my first paying gig on New Years of 1966 and I still play.
I currently play in a Classic Rock band. I have played all types of music from Jazz to country, but, you can take the boy from the rock band but you can't take the rock band from the boy. In 1979 thru 1981 I was lucky enough to play in Chris Ledoux's road band (Saddle Boogie).this minute I am watching it snow outside.........%$^*.

I'm really not liking you at the moment Brian.....

Well, I went camping at Wekiwa Spirngs, but I can't find the cable for the camera I took pics with. :

So I'll wait on making my report until I can get the pix out of the camera and do it up proper.

Howzabout you lot? Ron, what went down with the Klan doofuses?

[Spudman***]

I played a gig and all the women (if you can call them that) in the bar took off their bras and hung them over the bar. I'm not sure what that was all about but there were plenty of gratuitous tata shots. Vedy intervestink!

Why do such things never ever happen at my shows?

Kind of a non-event. There was only about 12-15 showed up (all from out of town). The crowd was about 100, with NAACP and many others. There was PLENTY of law enforcement. According to a friend of mine in law enforcement, it wasn't that bad. They spoke for about 25 minutes or so. Some in the crowd would shout out to them, with occasional profanities and ugly comments, but the crowd pretty well policed itself and would hush the rowdies. After 25 minutes or so, the Klowns packed up and left.

Meanwhile, across town the Harvest Festival enjoyed a beautiful day! The crowd was good, all the vendor slots were full and we had some good entertainment. My kids and I played about 30 minutes and didn't do TOO bad. The guy who ran sound while we were performing didn't know who to boost and who to pull down, so of course that one that couldn't carry a tune in a bucket was the loudest one heard. (Ugh!

I'll try to get a couple of videos uploaded of a couple of our better songs. I wrote 2 of what we played and they were TOO bad (for a bunch of church kids).

Overall, it was a pretty good day. Heard lots of positive comments on the new location. I thought it was better because there was more room and everybody wasn't having squeeze through each other to walk. I was ready to drop when I got home though. I was there at 8:30 rounding up the equipment, delivering it, setting it and getting ready for the 11:30 start of the entertainment. Ran sound the rest of the day until 4:30, then it was 7:30 before I finally got home. Man, was I whooped!

Our prayer now is that may the Klown(s) took the hint that they weren't welcome and won't be back. One can only hope. Thanks for asking Brian. Sorry if my reply is a little long-winded.

No worries, glad to hear they didn't cause any real trouble and the fest thing you did went well.

I'm still stiff and sore from camping, but I'll save that for tonight when I can hopefully get some pics up.
