Rick we saw the birthplace of Larry Fine on our tour of Philly today. We will see what Friday brings.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

We're off to Amish country (Kutztown) and home of Sorrelli jewlery if you're interested Friday. Maybe your wife can forgive you for dragging her across the country to a prog festival. :knowing:

It's settled. Buy some jewelry and see the Stooges.....

LONG week. I'm exhausted. But the second wind will be blowing in soon...

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Not attending ROSfest, but thinking about going to the Rebel Wheel gig at the hotel. :)

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

That sounds like a good idea. When will go and where are staying? WE are at the Hilton.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

We are going this morning. Do you have my cell. I'm at the Hampton Inn in Willow Grove. I'll try you at the hilton. It's probably about an 3-4 hour trip with travel time included (well depending on your shopping time. :D )

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Leaving in a few minutes...try to catch everyone this afternoon...

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Plane delayed due to thunderstorms in St. Louis. What was it about butterflies flapping their wings in China, and a storm brewing in New York?

WHew, it's been a long, long week... it will be good to get my head out of a book for a little bit and have some fun!

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

I'll be at the afterparty at the Hilton tonight!! (though, none of you will prob see this message since you are actually at ROSfest)! HAHA!

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Nice to see you play Cyndee. :D

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

lovely music from a lovely lady.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

yeah that was really nice

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

It was terrific Cyndee. So glad to have met you at last.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Thanks guys!!! I was supposed to play 3 songs but George told me to play 2 instead. Wish I had a soundcheck, but I did the best I could without one. It was nice to meet you all too!!!!

(was disappointed that Keithie didn't dance naked during my 10 min set!)

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

If I did you would have had an audience of one fat naked guy.....be grateful. =8^O =8^O

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

But know that Keithie was dancing naked in his head, just for you. (And thank you KW for keeping it there in your head.) 8-o

Nice to meet you Cyndee. Wish you had gotten a chance to play more.

Dale

Thanks!! That was my record for the shortest micro-set ever! :knowing:

It was nice to meet you too!

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Well, it's official, I just booked my room for RosFest 2009 at the new host hotel. The Holiday Inn. See you there in 2009!:rockband:

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

I didn't even know that they were taking room bookings for the next ROS. I just caught the latter end of a ROSfest mailing list discussion about this. M is now securing us a room. George didn't say anything to me about this!

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Well I think you can book a hotel room at anytime for anything as long as their is availability. He might not get a discount rate and the person who works there might not yet know about RF but that wouldn't stop them from letting him book a room.

I have noticed that with Rosfest in particular a lot of the people like to get the hotel where all the bands stay at. I can understand booking a room early since the popular hotel will probably be full before tickets even officilly go on sale. Me? I live half an hour away(if that)so I don't bother with the hotel. I might consider it though if I move more than say 40 minutes away.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

There was a screw-up in the Holiday Inn's web registration. George straightened things out. M booked us a 2 bed non-smoking room and we cancelled the smoking room we had reserved earlier. The HI didn't appear to have any suites. We may still book at the Hilton if there's a suite there. I need room to party! :D On the otherhand, if the moonies book early at the HI, we can get a block of rooms on a floor just as long as I'm far away from the methane emanating from that Brit's and Dane's room! :D

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Mike I booked my room through the link on the RosFest site. I got the posted rate on the RosFest site. No problem at all.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Mortis and I need to get our backsides in gear........I'll leave it to you to do the honours Mr M. Settle up later when we meet up for TD, GH, WA and Focus.

:D

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Aye! Do so and then let me know. Same for other moonies. I'll contact the H.I. when the time is nigh and have them put us together in a block of rooms.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Methane? That's an insult -should be alcohol usually dispensed from Vax......

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

WOW.. it's that time again, who's going to RosFest in 2009?

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

I might go again this year... especially since I'm staff and already have my tix! :D

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

OK, besides you Vax. :rolleyes: You and M being there would be a foregone conclusion anyway. ;)

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Indeed....the best toilet cleaner that George has ever employed.

I'll be there too.......VAX needs someone to carry his bucket.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

And I need KW to carry my camera case..........

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

PeterG and I have our tix. My friend, Liz is coming with us. She is a prog newbie, so be kind!

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

Oooh... A prog virgin. This calls for a ritual deflowering.

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

What is meant by prog newbie? She only knows the really obvious bands or she doesn't know hardly anything about prog at all(yet)? ;)

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

I like how the email came out today for Gold tix on sale 11/1 - oops!

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

There was an email?

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

With music provided by Ritual and the Flower Kings, perhaps obviously:rofl:

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)
 

SHouldn't that be the Deflower Kings?

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2009!)
 

I've decided to go ahead and get a Patron seat - there's only a week left so I'm going to do it in the next day or two. If anyone wants to join me let me know, otherwise I'll get a single seat...didn't stay there last year anyway :thumbsup:

Regardless os the lineups, I'm doing Rosfest, Nearfest (already arranged), 3RP, and Progday. FMPM would be nice but it's an inconvenient date...

Re: Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2009!)
 

well that was fast...I went ahead and got a single up close...see you all there!
