We are gonna be coming to the Oregon concert so if anyone wants to meet up we’d love to do so.
My husband and I and our kids will be coming from Texas thru Las Vegas,Nevada to visit relatives and up to Oregon to see Bruce!
Can’t wait it will be our first live Noisemakers show! And our longest road trip to see Bruce!

Monica, like I said before, you’re setting the standard! The “bench mark” if you would!
Once the Noisemakers really crank up again, you would make a great Road Scholar!
I like your “meet up” invitation. You got potential! Keep it up!David Day

Bay Days is sort of a block party/lawn party/festival put on by the city of Hampton every year.Yes… Bay Days is a 3-day excuse to go downtown and drink, uh, er, I mean… festival. The concerts are free, and outdoors. Last year, the big “names” were Grand Funk Railroad, War, Cameo, and Sammy Kershaw. They usually have a couple of artists that people have actually heard of, and the odd up-and-coming outfit. My fav band I’d never heard before was a sort of progressive Zappa-meets-bluegrass band called Special Ed and The Short Bus. Oh, heck… y’all come visit our little town if indeed Bruce is doing not one but two hometown freebies. This soooo rocks!
They haven’t made an “official” announcement on the site for the festival, but let’s all keep checking at http://www.baydays.com/ or the entertainment schedule at http://www.baydays.com/entertainment/
If this isn’t true, I’m gonna be really bummed.

“Sleepless days and sleepless nights and far aways, oooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here.” – T. KathRich – as far as I know this is true – no need to be bummed. It will be a switch for me, worked a parking lot last year for Bay Days, may need to go to a concert instead this year…what bummed me out at the festival last year was only one, count ’em, ONE booth had any good salsa / sauce (and this boy likes it hot!). What happened to the local area producers of good salsa and Habanero fixes for chili heads? Perhaps I’ll see some fans there…should be quite the show!

What happened to the local area producers of good salsa and Habanero fixes for chili heads?The food at Bay Days has become pretty much like any other festival in any other town. The same vendors seem to be at Bay Days, Blackbeard Festival, Harborfest, etc. I can remember when they even had local beers available at these things, but now it’s just Miller Lite (ick) and the odd Bud vendor. Oh well, since I’m on a sodium-restricted diet, I don’t even bother with the food vendors any more.
I have found a fun game that my wife and I played last year at Bay Days… the “I Bet You” game. It came from watching this show that runs on the MOJO HD channel, starrring pro poker players Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari. In the show, they go around whatever town they’re in and place bets on whatever. For instance, they might bet on who can eat an ice cream cone faster, or whether or not the 5th person that walks past them in a certain block will be wearing blue jeans or not, or stuff like that. They get more elaborate than that, but the basic premise is good for working a festival. Lisa and I bet each other for “points” (they used real cash on the show) on things like “I bet you that that ugly hat that looks like a crab is more than $10” (it was only $8.50) or “I bet you that the 10th person who passes us going the other way will be a blonde female” (it was). It’s a great time passer and a way to have fun dealing with crowds of people. Just a thought

No need to be bummed. It’s posted on Bruce’s list of concerts as both a “With Ricky” and a “WIth Noisemakers” (2 shows, one at 2:30 and one at 4:40). Not only does that make it official, it means double the Bruce. This fall is gonna rock!
Si, got any t-shirt ideas for this year? We could get all geeky and wear something identifiably “Bruuuce” to make meeting up in a crowd easier. Just a thought.

:MVF has had some great T-shirts ideas in the past! For example, MVF could naturally be “Miss Virginia Former”, Rich could be “Mr. D.E.” in the corner, Byan could be “Mr. B.M.O.C.”, and daverich could be “Mr. P.E.” 😆 I could be the “Tango King”, Trent could be the “Country Doctor”, Si could be the “Big Rumble”! 😆 Which leaves “Spider Fingers”, “Hot House Ball”, and “Swing Street” open for your imagination. 😆 😆 😆
You get the picture! Who should be what?
:I claim “Tango King”!
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAI’m kind of thinking of a trek up to Oregon. Nice road trip if nothing else.
But, the fact that it’s sort of a one-off (ok, a “two-off”) at a casino has me a little worried. I’m still thinking about the last show the Noisemakers did at a casino, outside of a real tour:
02/01/07 Harrah’s Rincon Casino – Valley Center, CA
Carry the Water, Circus on the Moon, Mandolin Rain, Gonna Be Some Changes Made, White-Wheeled Limousine, End of the Innocence, Super Freak, Jacob’s Ladder >Pig in a Pen > Jacob’s Ladder, The Way It Is
Encore: Valley Road
Comments: Noisemakers showI just can’t get that excited about the prospect of a one hour show. Anyone know for sure if the Oregon shows will be any longer?

Heck yeah. I wouldn’t miss this for anything.
Can I be “Lost Soul”? Or perhaps “Charlie”, the small town pornographer, uh, er, I mean… “merchant” who’s showing the judge the picture show from France?

How about: “It’s A Bruuuce Thing…You’ve Gotta Understand!”

That’s you! ❗ I knew it was all along! 😆
Rich is ….”Mr. D.E.”. No doubt about it! 😆 (Do you know what “Mr. D.E.” stands for? It’s not “defensive end”.) Si is the “Big Rumble”. No doubt about it! 😆 daverich could be “Mr. P.E.”. Bryan is “Mr. B.M.O.C.! 😆 No dobut about it! 😆 MVF is “Miss Virginia Former”! There is no doubt about that!
I’ve been thinking about this and this is what we should do is……Put Bruuuce.com on the front and our character, whichever we personally choose, on the back as if that’s our name. You get the picture! Our “team” is “Bruuuce.com” on the front and choose whatever you want as your name on your back! 😆 Be creative as you want for the name on your back, but it has to be either be a Bruce lyric or name of a Bruce song.
Carey, for example, would have “Bruuuce.com” on the front and could have “King of the Hill” on the back! 😆What do you think?
:David Day
Lake Lanier, GAPS Somebody would have to be “Stacked Mary Possum”! ❗ 😆
You guys have such great ideas for the East coast shows…help us with some going to Oregon!!!
I need some creative thinking for some fun at our show! Unfortunatly ours is at a Casino and our two little kids can’t go in to the show or I’d dress them in some cute Bruuuce attire!!

PS It’s time to place your bets… given that Bay Days is (or at least originally was) about Chesapeake Bay conservation and such, do you think he’ll play Look Out Any Window?
well we’ve been doing some shopping around and it looks like we may well be making the baydays festival.
I hope I get to meet the man himself
– that would go someway to help me forget the thousands of pounds it’s gonna cost Kind regards

I like your “meet up” invitation.
