Yeah, what she said...
Didn't I hear somewhere sometime that an Oakhurst Forums gathering worthy of Karma award only had to be posted openly on the Forums and attended as a direct result of that open posting. Didn't think Sandman had to be in attendance - only that EXTRA Karma would be awarded upon first meeting Sandman face to face (either in a spotting, by chance/business paths crossing or at a gathering/event). Heck, Rima - we're so far past that first EXTRA award it's not funny. Gotta push for the points just for attendance...

Well, hell.....who'm I gonna kiss at midnight now? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sick.gif

[Kahlua Kid]

Done deal! WIll be spending New Years' with you guys!

[monkey]

I know LindaBo will be in town and was hoping to join up with the Forums gang.

[grizzlyfireguy]

sounds like a plan...i'll be there

[monkey]

Welcome to the forums GrizzlyFireGuy!

[CatdaBrat]

Why do people kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve? I know it's a tradition, but where/why did it start? I have been to several New Year's Eve parties that would have been very awkward for people to pick somebody to smooch with. I mean the people there would not kiss under normal circumstances so it would have all seemed obligatory. I wonder if it has anything to do with the drinking! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/freak.gif

[rimalicious]

Here is what I found online ..."The kiss shared at the stroke of midnight in the United States is derived from masked balls that have been common throughout history. As tradition has it, the masks symbolize evil spirits from the old year and the kiss is the purification into the new year."

[CatdaBrat]

Oh, thank you for checking that out for me -- very interesting. I had forgotten about those masked balls.

[LindaBo]

YES! monkey let me know, i,m flying out just for this and to visit family http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif I DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS! i want to meet the forums people, i missed out on the September Virgo bash http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/cry.gif keep me imform please http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/worried.gif

[Epic Steve]

I'll be in San Francisco, I think.... Les Claypool concert! Oh Joy!

I don't blame you for ditching us, Sandman. I'd ditch us for the great Les Claypool too, if I didn't have my own gig to play!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to party with the OF crowd and it's an honor to entertain any of you who come out on New Year's Eve. It's just that Les Claypool is a MONSTER player and innovator on the bass guitar and I'm... well... not.

But, you see Steve...Les Claypool wouldn't know if one or none of us were THERE and YOU will know and appreciate us everyone! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/applause.gif

[Epic Steve]

...but monsters or not, we will ROCK THE HOUSE and a good time will be had!!!

BTW, I'd also like to say "Welcome to the Forums" to GrizzlyFireGuy. He's a great guy. Looking forward to seeing you on New Year's Eve, Grizz.

I will be available to any lady who wants to partake of the purification ritual.

[Goddesschyyld]

Did anyone happen to notice those handsome Stone River guys in today's Sierra Star? Page A6 and it's about New Year's Eve!

[Epic Steve]

Good point, Sheila! That's certainly true. Stone River doesn't have "fans," we have "friends who party with us"... or should I say "partners in crime?" http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/cool4.gif

Thanks for pointing that out, Goddesschyyld. I didn't know about it. It's online too at:
http://www.sierrastar.com/features/calendar/story/11514800p-12251901c.html

I didn't realize I'm a "guitarist!" I could have sworn I play bass. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/bonk.gif

That makes 2 issues of the Star in a row with "Stone River" in big bold print!! Thank you Sierra Star!

[Epic Steve]

Whoops sorry about that Epic!

No big deal. After all, I do play "bass GUITAR," so it's partially correct. I just couldn't resist making fun a little bit.

Did you write that article, Goddesschyyld? If so, THANK YOU! We appreciate the coverage. It's fun to be considered newsworthy, even in a small community like ours. We're lucky to get to play for such great people. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif It's really about as much fun as I've ever had in my life.

[LindaBo]

I,m ready to dance with any guy--and that means you too Electroman http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/evil.gif...let me know if i need to buy a ticket or what,,,,or donate someting,, let me know PLEASE http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/yes.gif i can,t wait to meet some of you, i don,t get to meet SANDMAN http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sad3.gif

[rimalicious]

I'm still working out the details but advance tickets should be available soon. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/eusa_dance.gif

[electroman]

I am SOOOO not the dancing type.

[CatdaBrat]

*Cat says she peeked in a window and saw 'Lecty practicing his best Travolta moves while he watched a secretly-rented copy of "Saturday Night Fever." The glare from the mirrored disco ball hurt her eyes, though, and she couldn't get a photo. She left him a pair of moon boots and a DVD of Napoleon Dynamite for inspiration* http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/stickdance.gif

[Yosemite_Wolf]

Cat... you are such the evil brat.... too bad you didnt get any pics though, we coulda posted them for sale on Ebay... wait, maybe not.

[CatdaBrat]

Wolfie, you know me so well! I will not give up on those pics, but I will hafta be sneaky. I am waiting for my "Super Spy Detect-O Kit" to arrive. It's amazing what you can order from the back pages of a comic book!

[Kahlua Kid]

Better save us 2-4 tix! I need to talk with my Mom to see if her and her boyfriend will be up or not,

But definitely count Newcomer and I in!

[Yosemite_Wolf]

better save me a tix too!

[rimalicious]

How about if EVERYONE starts calling YCRC and asking for advance tickets. Then maybe I'll get an answer out of the owner on the prices. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[Yosemite_Wolf]

have the printed the tix yet?

[Nascar8Fan]

Sounds like so much fun. We are staying home with the kids this year. Gonna be a night of games and movies for us.

[rimalicious]

Originally posted by Yosemite_Wolf:

I dont even know if they are printing tickets. It may just be a list. They said they havent gotten many advance ticket sales ... not good ... go pay and save $5 ...

[Kahlua Kid]

Hmmm... It will probably be the night of - people out looking for something to do and then of course! See the Marquis with "Stone River Band" playing at the YCRH - and come on in.

We've got our names on the list! Hoping to see a bunch of friends from OO there! I know I'll see Messy, YW, Rima, EpicSteve, and KimPossible - who else will be there?

[Kahlua Kid]

You don't have to dance to enjoy the music - Newcomer won't be dancing either!

[Sandman]

Earn 100 karma points if you come to this event! Rima will be in charge of providing me with a list of OF people that attend, so make sure Rima knows you are there!

[electroman]

...We've got our names on the list! Hoping to see a bunch of friends from OO there! I know I'll see Messy, YW, Rima, EpicSteve, and KimPossible - who else will be there?

You Know I'll be there. I paid for my tic a few weeks ago.

[CatdaBrat]

I will be up in my lighthouse, making sure the door is bolted tight.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

Cat.. i burned down the lighthouse.. so you have to come to the coffee house with us.

[rimalicious]

FYI: Since this thread is about who's coming to YCRC for New Year's, if you say "me too." it means you'll be there. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif

[electroman]

NOOO!!! We want them to come anyway don't we Wolfie? Don't scare them off!

[CatdaBrat]

i only dance by the light of the moon, with tombstones as the only witnesses.

[electroman]

I only dance if I find myself barefoot on hot coals, or when somebody is shooting at my feet.

[CatdaBrat]

If anyone is gonna need a ride home just draw me a map before you get too hammered, or else you may wake up in a strange house...

[Yosemite_Wolf]

how do you get hammered at YCRH?

[Sierra Lady]

Thats what I'd like to know.....

[BGW]

must be the wine margaritas!!http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/rofl5.gif

[Yosemite_Wolf]

then you must be importing your own booze and adding to the drinks there... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/rofl5.gif

[electroman]

Originally posted by Yosemite_Wolf:

Uh, just a guess, but I think the proceedure would be pretty much the same as at any other place that serves alcohol.

[Newcomer]

They serve mixed drinks with wine - the Pina Colada wine drink is pretty good!

[rimalicious]

beer and wine too ...

[electroman]

Stone River, as usual, ROCKS!

[Yosemite_Wolf]
