Topic: Santa Barbara roll call!

10 degrees here this morning in S.W. Washington! I can't wait to get to S.B.!!! Who else is gonna go for the show?

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

Well, if I'm the only one going, I've got dibs on front & center!

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

We are on our way South after drinking way too much wine and soaking in copious amounts of sulfurous water straight from the bowels of the Calistoga  caldera.
Any one have an idea of a place to meet?

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

Man, I wish I was going to be there!  I just missed my connection and will not be able to make it. sad

Rick, please say Hello to Dan for me!!! 

Plenty of good seafood and Mexican fare in Santa Barbara, right across the street to out on the pier ($$$).  Parking one block and a half away in a city lot if anyone is wondering.  Bet the sunshining there is awesome today, nice peaceful, easy, so real sunset later, then chilly perhaps, not unusual this time of year.  Enjoy, stay warm!  Still a charming city.  And same for the theatre, "so I have heard!"

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

Hey Rocket! Rick is gonna have to yell real loud to tell me Hello, cause I'm still in Washington! I had some problems arise here and had to cancel my trip. Gave my ticket, seat # 4, to Rick. Been waiting since April to see Joe again and I could sure use that California weather, but it just wasn't meant to be, no regrets.

Sorry about the problems, Dan.  That came on fast.  Hoping for solutions and good things for you.

Wasn't meant to be, same here.  I will put out a different request to Rick, then, to please be sure to capture "Athens To Athens", if it is played, even if he has to get the audio only by hiding his video camera a bunch.  It's been a kind of Athens To Athens day and,...sigh. 

My future plans are calling for a UFO trip to the Pac NW when Joe might decide to schedule there...To the future, and Behind!  I mean Beyond! tongue

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

Skamokawa is at the top of my list for being a very cool guy. I'll do you proud my friend.

Oh boy this road trip is getting better. Checked out in Solvang this morning and the desk clerk asked our next stop. Oh, a concert in Santa Barbara, Who? A guy you probably never heard of, JoeB. Wow she says, I'm going and he RAWKS I'm taking my Bonavirgin BF! It's a smaller and smaller Joeworld every day. Hotel La Quinta is fulla fans. Big hugfest with strangers in the lobby on arrival. Big Grins! Yeah Baby. I'm wearing my freshly autographed Tour De Force tee and a guy walks up and shakes my hand. The buzz is on my friends.
Rick
I'll stealth out or blatantly film as allowed your request Rocket.

We'll be at the Arlington Tavern from 5:30 Lindy Lu, St. Bob, Paul and Suzie Dussault from Chula Vista. Come on down!

Talked to the venue manager. She was adamant no photos. I explained Joe's policy and she said they would have to see. I walked out back, summoned Eric and explained the issue and he said he'd take care of it. Best I could do. Fingers crossed.

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

No hassle at all. I got all but the Mountain Time encore when the last bit my last battery gave out Shot from ground zero thanks to Skamokawa. Joe was extra good tonight. He seemed fresher and the show was perfection. Lindy Lu came down and sat next to me when the two dudes at dead center got up and left in the middle of the acoustic set. I guess they were expecting hip hop? lol She shot a ton of vids too.
A great hang with the BonaSpuds preshow and after. Crowd was great and the venue was beautiful.
Headed down the home stretch as is our guitar hero.
Tal handed Lindy Lu a stick and shook our hands, Joe smiled and tossed me a golden pick. Priceless memories.

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

Wow Rick! Sounds like a fantastic time! Joe did seem to be pretty fired up on that Athens to Athens! His solo in that seemed a little more extended and varied than some we had seen. Very cool! Thanks for the video smile

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

Sorry Rocket and skamokawa didn't get to go! That's some serious poop on the corn flakes, but it sounds like you guys are positive anyway. I will take a page from that book.

Thank you Rick for the awesome video. Seriously, thanks to all the folks (esp. Natasha) that tirelessly take vids and share them with everyone!

Re: Santa Barbara roll call!

"Athens To Athens!"  Dang, I love this song.  I love every way it has been performed by Joe, from "Black Rock" in the Santorini, Greece studio with Manolis Karadinis (bouzouki) and Thanasis Vasilopoulos (clarino) to Montreaux, Vienna, and everywhere up to date!  Definitely a favorite of mine.  Very hard for me to have clear favorites with Joe's material, but this one rises up for me.  Always.  Thanks Rick. big_smile
