Yes, I AM in the room next door with both kidlings. We have been up to all sorts of mischief! Don’t tell Monica, but we have already eaten ALL the cookies and all three of us are bouncing on the beds, watching Cartoon Network. Thinking of having “go-go juice” later on. You know what? I really needed this “kid fix”. Man, I miss being in the classroom! We are all having a ball — much more fun than Monica and her hubby are having next door

I’ll be trekking Tobacco Road to Raleigh Saturday. 4 meet up doubtful , but will likely make the 6:30 picnic!! I think we actually may have a day that it doesn’t rain!!!!Duly noted. Will throw in another couple of buns and an extra handful of ‘pups! Can’t wait to meet you! You’ll have no problem recognizing me. Look for the “I LOVE BRUCE HORNSBY” T-shirt and the “Miss Virginia Former” hat. Not to mention the hord of people who will be following my cooler full of BBQ!!!!

Miss Virginia Former
aka — Most Valuable Fan!!!!!!!Okay, here’s the head count I have for the picnic at the amphitheater Saturday at 6:30:
Monica – 4
Teresa – 1
Jackie – 1
David – either 1 or 0
HDBahn – I know you told me already, but like I said on the phone, I’ve been sick as a dog for a couple of days, and have trouble knowing what was fact and what was hallucination.Who have I left out?
Anybody else?I will bring extra, just in case. I will be bringing BBQ, buns, slaw, hush puppies, Brunswick stew (an indulgence on my part), and sweet tea. From what I understand, Jackie will bring paper products, as well as her world-famous peach cobbler. Monica is supplying cookies. And, hey, dinner is on me. It’s the least I can do for all these wonderful people who have been SO very kind to me.
So if you want to join in, just let me know. I have to know how much BBQ to bring. Heaven forbid we don’t have enough!!!!! And by all means, if you have extra people with you, invite them along. We’ll feed them and then make converts out of them!!!!!!
Don’t forget to bring a blanket or something to sit on. This is, after all, an old-fashioned picnic! Hey, David, you can bring the ants!!!!!
MVF
Am now totally stoked. So, David, I guess I will take you up on your offer. What hotel are you staying at? If it’s not too high-priced, I’ll try to get a room there. That way, we can have a nightcap without endangering the citizens of Asheville.
Hey, what’s the street address of OP?
Can’t wait to see Mr. and Mrs. Molo 3. We have a lot of catching up to do!
Signed,
MVF
aka Most Verbose FemaleHey, just talked to HDBahn, and he is planning to be there, too. Oh, man — with all of us there at the same time, they better batten down the hatches and tie up the cows!
Oh, now I KNOW I have to make the Asheville show. Will Mrs. Molomolomolo be there as well?
MVF
Most Verbose FanNo, I haven’t. Hope everything is okay. But then, I tend to disappear from the Board often (health issues), so maybe we will hear from her soon.
David Day, post: 8866 wrote:You should still make that Hursey’s run! What a great place! On the NC ‘barbecue trail’! Will be more than happy to help with expenses if you do that!Okay, then, I’ll make it official. I’ll take orders right up until 9:00am Friday. Dinner will include Barbeque, buns, coleslaw, sweet tea, and hush puppies, or their infamous Brunswick Stew, sweet tea, and hush puppies. $5.00 a person should cover everything, including transportation and importation fees, plus storage costs at my son’s house. Just respond on this site if you are interested. Oh, and I guess I need to make this clear. We are talking EASTERN North Carolina ‘que. I’ll pack along some sauce and Texas Pete for the uninitiated.
David Day, post: 8866 wrote:I’m sure desserts are already covered!Only if you get there early!!!!!
Oh, man! And here I was ready to make a Hursey’s Barbeque run on my way out of town!!! I was going to store it at my son’s house in Cary on Friday, then stop by there on the way to the meet up, heat up stuff, pack the coolers, and treat the out-of-towers to a REAL North Carolina spread. Ah well, I’ll just go with the flow. I WILL be supplying plenty of Sweet Tea, though — aka The House Wine Of The South.
It WOULD be nice to get a head count, though. I just MIGHT have some fun goodies to give out!
Here’s who I’ve come up with so far:
–MVF
–Monica, Mr. Layer, Junior, and Princess Abigail
–Treah (will there be others with you?? You know they are always welcome, too)
–HDBann (any others?)
–Dreadlock Dave (and your usual +1?)Okay, I know that I’ve already left out some people. Please forgive me, and post your name on here. And remember, we ALWAYS welcome new SiBs and BiBs (Sisters in Bruce and Brothers in Bruce).
Slight, slight chance that I may be able to stop by there on my way to the ‘rents house in Tenn. Think I could still get a ticket??
David Day, post: 8826 wrote:Soo…..You are on three meds now???……Honey, I WISH it were only three meds. I take 2 drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, 1 for osteoarthritis, 1 for early stage liver disease (caused by RA drugs, NOT alcohol), 2 for depression, 1 for bipolar disorder, 1 for anxiety, 1 for a thyroid condition, 2 to fight the fatigue of RA, 2 for side effects from bariatric surgery, 1 for edema caused by low protein levels, one for extreme anemia and B12 deficiency, and antihistamines for chronic allergies. Not to mention cortisone shots, prednisone tapers, and Vicodin whenever I have major flare-ups of the RA and can’t bend my joints. NOW you can understand why I occasionally disappear from the Board. AND why I need my couple of drinks with my SiBs and BiBs at my yearly concert forays. Because of liver, that’s all I’m allowed, and I can’t think of any other group of people I’d rather share them with!
It’s Hell getting old. I don’t recommend it to anyone. Although I am sometimes tempted to WISH it upon a certain pseudo-Rastafarian we all know!!!!!!

Sure wouldn’t want MVF loosing them again…and no falling either!!! I can only bring so many band aids, and you better like those cute character ones! MonicaOkay, look. I need to set the record straight here before somebody gets any wrong ideas about me………..
1). I have NEVER gotten “falling down drunk”. If you remember, I fell down the night BEFORE the Biltmo’ Sho’……….
2). I only LOST the car keys once, and, really, we knew right where they were — locked in the backseat of my car in the Biltmore parking lot. At 12:00 am. BTW, I absolutely love the security guards at the Biltmore. All of them. Whom I have all met. Numerous times. Seems they know ME by name, too. Wonder why…………
3). At my age, I don’t get drunk, I get “mellow” — and I have never gotten falling down “mellow”, either! And I don’t have more than one drink when I am going to be around “little ones” — and it has nothing to do with having taught elementary school for twenty years………
4). …….however, any time I have to deal with Dreadlock Dave, I HAVE to have a couple, just to get mellow enough not to smack him around….
5). I prefer Hello Kitty band aids. Or Scooby Doo………..
……….oh yeah, I’ve gotten my “I LOVE BRUCE!” T-shirt…….do you????????

I’m putting tentative reservations in for Meetup A and Meetup B,for now. When the plans are more concrete,I’ll have a more definite answer.
I do have a definite answer on one thing I’ll bring to the picnic-peach cobbler for everyone!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

David Day, post: 8813 wrote:I knew this would be ‘confusing’ for MVF! So…..Will attempt to put it into an ‘equation’ for all to understand! Meet-up ‘A’ plus meet-up ‘B’ equals a blast for all!!!
Meet-up ‘A’ will start at 4:00ish at Rudino’s near the venue! (More details to come.)
Meet-up ‘B’ will start at 6:30 and will be a picnic at the venue! (More details to come on this as well.)
Soo, in a ‘nutshell’…..’A’ + ‘B’ = A great time for all!!!
Thanks. I always was bad at math. Of course, I’m not so sure Dreadlock Dave is exactly the best person to “set me straight”!!!!!!

Welcome to the funny farm, Alicia. Been following Bruce for 30 + years. Hope to meet you soon. BTW, don’t believe a thing tat anyone else tells you about me. I AM absolutely sane and normal:D

I don’t want to have to miss it or seeing my dear friends due to the fact I have two kiddos who they might not let in!So I’m voting for the picnic idea…and I will try to bring something from the great state of Texas to share with all!
Also MVF I have a little change in plans will be writing you a letter or email soon to let you know very soon!!
17 days and counting down!!!!
Monica and Kiddos!
Gotcha covered!
David Day, post: 8793 wrote:That was very, very weak!…..Must try harder! …..
You wonder how it happened?…..They just picked it up from dad!!!
On the other hand….MVF did bring up the picnic idea early on! That would be ‘kid friendly’! I was also trying for a ‘tailgate’, but that is not allowed also! Was going to grill some shrimp, steaks, burgers, brats for all, but the ‘management’ said ‘no’! Maybe I’ll still try that, but someone must be responsible for bailing me out of jail!
…..I guess by default, I am in charge of the picnic meet oû. More info soon!
David Day, post: 8794 wrote:Wow!!! Do you realize!!! I just noticed that there has been over 1000 views on this post!!! So…..For a ‘compromise’…..All ‘barking cows’ must attend and respond!!! For the first time ever, we must have two meet-ups!!! One that is ‘adult friendly’ and one that is ‘child friendly’! From my understanding, gates don’t open till 6:00, soo we can do both!!! An adult meet-up and then picnic in the park! Jackie will be the ‘behavior monitor’ and be ‘in charge’ of any ‘personality disorders’ ! …..I may have a lot of disorders, but a personality disorder ain’t one of them!
