Crawfish Festival Rally 2009

[Frank's Trailer Works]

I will give a hint... one will make you feel like an adult the other like a teenager. Now who's drink will make you feel how will remain a mystery. Another mystery is what goodies some of you will be contributing to happy hour.

The King Of Oak Street, Frenchy will be showcasing his artwork this year and will be painting all weekend at the Crawfish Fest. If you have never seen Frenchy paint, you’re in for a special treat.

I will make a point to seek him out and invite him to happy hour. Maybe our airstreams will become a subject for one of his paintings....

Hey folks another thought... LOT O FLAGS!!!! try and fly as many as possible. There are no rules as to flags, so let those freak flags fly. If anyone is flag pole holder less, let me know and I can give you an email address of the guy that makes the best holder out there. Not only are they high quality, but they are first cut polished and you can get up to a five pole holder. Anyone interested, please PM me.

LOTS O PARTY LIGHT TOO....

Frank,
Do you mean a flag like this...





There are scads of them on E-bay. I just bought one.

Marcia Ball is one of our favorites and will be performing two shows.
This is an old clip, but it is a great song. Her vocals and piano playing are always out of this world.

YouTube - Flashback! Marcia Ball "How You Carry On" 88

Only 29 days left until Crawfish

Just a note and no attempt to hijack - Jazz Fest is on in New Orleans this week. Great music and good food.

Wish I could go to a rally!!!!!!!

We had our opening rally at Penn Wood this weekend and we test flew the Crawfish flag. It looks good waving next to the Stars And Stripes and the Eagles flag

Mine just came in on Thursday. Can't wait to fly it over the stream. It looks great & Thanks for the Ebay link!

Mine showed up really fast (in two days), considering that it came all the way from the left coast. Which reminds me...I have to leave positive feedback for the seller. Now I need to get a pirate flag, a Conch Republic flag, and a margaritaville flag.

funny thing, I got one too. And a smiley face too....

A crawfish festival in Jersey? That's sort of like celebrating Mardi Gras in Wisconsin. No offense to anyone. Just didn't know anyone dared eat mudbugs that far north.

[Frank's Trailer Works]

journalist, it is less than 12 hours drive. How about you come teach us how. Most attendees are yankees and some, like me, live in border states. How about you come on up and show us how it is done. Or you could just come and have a good time with us.

I just hosted a crawfish boil this past weekend in Austin. A smashing success. My cousin moved up to Connecticut and held his own boil for many years, he had the bugs flown in from Louisiana. There are ways to do it, even in yankee-land.

I wish I could make it, but it's a little too far for me.

Look at the musical line-up - Michael Arnone (who lives in the bayou) brings up local talent from his proverbial neighborhood in LA.

Michael's dad fly's up with the food from LA and does the cooking. Yes...as they have been doing for 20 years...they manage to create cajun country here in the rolling hills of NJ.

be sure to check out the musical line-up at...crawfishfest.com. bring on the FUNK!!!!

I'd love to come up and check it out. If I can squeeze in some time off work, I'm there.

I'm thinking this is going to be the highlight of the summer..I'm really getting excited for this. My Eric Lindell CD that I purchased off Ebay just came in today. It's great stuff. Last week I had a nightmare that I was at the Crawfish and couldn't find my way to the stage. It was a maze of people and buildings that just wouldn't end......hope that preminition doesn't come true..or the predetermination of it (had to be there for that one)..lol.
