Songfight LIVE 2008 Tampa, Hot & Sweaty

[jb]

I have tried to understand the impulse, but after much soul searching I have decided that becoming sexually aroused in the presence of my male friends is not one of my preferred methods of bonding. I'd much rather jam somewhere, or just have quiet drinks at a quiet bar.

Sounds about my speed. May I be put on the guest list?

Well, tomorrow at this time of day, a little after 6AM eastern, I'll be on a train to NYC for transfer to the Sunshine State and my first Songfight! Live. Yip-eee!

Also, is anyone able to bring a music stand?

Can't wait do0d.

Also, there should be two stands available.

Have fun guys. I'm heading to Prague on Friday but I will think of you while basking in 72°F temperatures and watching Don Giovanni performed in the same theater where it premiered 211 years ago.

Our low will be 77 (High of 90 is predicted) and there will be a summer shower as always.

90? Only 90 ya'll ask? Ha Ha...oh...ha ha ha ha.

hey JB, you still bringing that t-shirt screen thing-a-ma-jiggy?

i'd still be into making some home made shirts on friday night. and getting drunk and going swimming.

titty bar i can take or leave. i can get plenty of that here.

I just bring up the titty bar for fun, I'm only half serious... because this town has no shortage of them. If for any reason any of ya'll do decide on one, AVOID Seven Seas. It's got some similarities to The Clairmont in Atlanta.

I like your Friday night plan.

[jb]

Right, thanks for reminding me. I'll make sure to put the screen thingo in my car. Never used it, so this will be an adventure.

[jack]

cool! if we need paint, if someone can pick some up on friday morning/afternoon, i can reimburse you. but i'll bring a blank shirt.

[jb]

I have some jars of ink I'll brink. The key will be masking the screen. I guess we can just tape a stencil on top of the screen-- it's DIY goodness!

This will be SO Punk Rock.

Are you talking about the strip club or the swimming pool with Jack and Hoblit?



Whatever...damn I wish I was going. I was so sure I would make it this year, but this whole move to NZ and sell my house thing came up and buggered things up. Swimming pools and hot weather sounds like heaven to me at the moment. Would have been great to catch up again with Jack, Hobblit, Dre, and JB again and meet Paco and the others. Have fun all.

[jack]

i'll try to remember to give you an "oi oi oi" shoutout.

yeah, wish you could have made it d00d.

Yeah, Caravan Ray...I'm gonna miss you, Ken and especially Jeff. (And of course Spud... Lindsy and everyone else from years past)

[Paco Del Stinko]

Well, I'll miss meeting all of those folks, but look forward to meeting all those attending. I'm out the door in less than an hour. Maybe I should go pack, eh? See yas there!

[Sheail]

I'm disappointed I couldn't afford to go this year and rub shoulders with the great and good of songfight again. Sadly I will have no chance to repeat my one and only encounter with cornbread. I don't really have a catchphrase you can chant in my stead, maybe if you call each other chaps that might work.

Well, you're missing a year in which the attendance will be significantly lower than past events anyways. So maybe we'll see you next year in Spokane? Although, I'm not sure they have tater tots there.

(EDIT)

I found my cellphone after someone called me up while I was in my car. It was way WAY under the seat. Thank God someone called because it would have been hours and hours before I would have decided to check the car one more time and under the seat that far.

[jack]

3:47 am and i'm heading out the door for Songfight Live, Tampa here we come.

i have a feeling this is going to be a LONG day.

[jimtyrrell]

Wish I could be there. Take lots of pictures!

[Lord of Oats]

Ugh. I found out tonight that my band can't make it.

I don't know what this means, exactly, but I'm still going to come down.

Now where am I supposed to be and when?

Like maybe specific addresses?

PM or e-mail if we're not comfortable posting this stuff in public?

lordofoats@gmail.com

Or I have a telephone.

It goes a little something like this. (nine four one) two two three - two zero nine one

Someone let me know something by the time I wake up tomorrow?
