OK... I'm in.

Me too

YAY!

I'll be there as well...

Hoping to put a face to some names.

Cheers,

Shang.

so who's organizing this shindig? does anyone have any ideas forming already?

From a recent conversation about this with Keith on the Junkies board....




Some thoughts anyway....

Dont know if we can check out sound-check, or if ya'll would want to try anyway (?).

Shang.

Shang, the only Annapolis Thai restaurant I can find in the online Yellow Pages is Carlson's Donuts & Thai Kitchen at 1022 West St, Annapolis, MD. Is that it?

I think we should all convene for dinner around 6:00 there or somewhere else close to the venue.

I came up with 2 in addition to the donut store

Scratch that, one is a Chinese place. Mr. Wang's looks promising food wise, though it doesn't have much ambience wise.

I do believe this is the place.....

Lemongrass

I will definitely be in Annapolis by 6:00, so this time works. We could also plan to meet outside the Ramshead and walk down if this makes things easier?

Anybody planning on flowers? I'd be willing to chip in.

Cheers.

Shang.

yep.

1) I am good for 6pm, will be bringing one guest.
2) Let me know about the flowers

Yeah, it was a pretty safe bet Karin will get flowers with Bill and myself in attendance! If anyone else wants to chip in, just speak up.

Lemongrass sounds great to me, who else is in for dinner? Jim? Kelly and friend? Carolyn, are you going to be able to come?

i'm in. it'll probably just be me, but i'll check on my friend and her friend, who are also coming.

i have a dentist's appointment at 3:30 on that day, and then i'm heading right over to annapolis, which means i'll get there early. when will everyone else be rolling in?

Barring unforseen circumstances, I plan to arrive mid-late afternoon and walk around a bit. Likely arrive around 3:00-4:00. Take a stroll down by the water, etc.

Count in me on the flowers....whatever the plan might be.

Cheers.

We're driving down from NY, so it really depends on traffic. Should be there sometime late afternoon, and then we need to check into our hotel.

We plan to leave at 3, so it might actually be 4 before we go. We will also need to check-in at hotel first...

I'll be driving down and checking into a hotel in the afternoon too.

Bill, check your PM's as I'd like to contribute to the flowers too

- Carolyn

sorry if i wasn't clear in my post, all that i meant was that i was going to buy karin flowers like i always do. i'm going to be riding down from NYC with keith & michelle, i don't really have any way to arrange and/or put together a "flower conspiracy" kind of thing for this show. i wish i did. i think it's probably better if everybody does their own thing regarding flowers.

i'll probably just pick some up in the city before we head out.

sorry for any confusion.

There won't be room in the car, my friend (Chris is riding down with us too). We'll get a nice arrangement at the same Annapolis florist where JRay and I got flowers for Margo a few months ago, and whomever would like to chip in can sign the card.

Not to worry Bill, your name will be first.

Are we still meeting up at Lemongrass before the show on Friday? And who is going? And what time?

I'm in - how's 6PM? If it's a popular place and since it's a Friday night, it might be a good idea to see if they take reservations. Not sure how big a place it is. There are 2 Lemongrasses according to a websearch; I'm guessing that it's the Lemongrass on West Street since it's closer to the venue.

Yes, 6:00. I'm not sure who else is going but I'll be there!

Hmm, just got off the phone with Lemongrass. They don't take reservations and they're likely to be full by 6:00. They suggested coming at 5:00 but I'm not sure we can make it by then.

I'm up for making a 6:00 reservation at the Ram's Head restaurant, unless someone wants to do some quick research and come up with another solution. The couple of reviews I found online said the food isn't bad.

This place looks good:
Tsunami:

or this place:
McGarvey's:
http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2986...CelZvmO5S0URWoL

McGarvey's doesn't take reservations on the weekends. Tsunami sounds good to me if everyone else is OK with it.

sushi & pacific rim dining? count me in, homez.

i'll go anywhere you to tell me to go, keith.

Okay, we have reservation at Tsunami at 51 West Street for 6:00 under Bergendorff. See you there!

Anyone else able to meet earlier? If so, might suggest we (I can be there 5:00 onwards) get a table or two. The late comers can join us as soon as they can. As long as we dont hold seating up too long I dont think it would be a big deal. Might be a bit of a wait at 5:00 anyway....

Thoughts?

Looking forward to seeing you all at Tsunami

Jeeeez. Never mind my post. I must have been spacing (reading wrong page?)....

Tsunami sounds fine. Thanks Keith.

Safe travels.

modification on my part: no guest, just me.

FYI: I just received an email from Rams-head. Friday's show is now sold out. On the down side, I hope no one needed a ticket. On the good side, the energy should be killer. Can't wait!

Shang.

This might be a good time for me to announce this, but I have ONE extra ticket to give away to whoever might be needing it.

Call it one man's loss is another man's gain...

on my way out at 9am in the morn! woo-hoo!

a whirlwind of patty, OtR, OtR, OtR & and hopefully a stroll thru the village before heading home on sunday night.

did i mention, woo-****in'-hoo?

see ya a 2:00ish michelle! and 6:00 keith.

and vivian, kelly, jimbo, carolyn, shang (i'm sure i forgot someone, i always do) on fri night...

did i say woo-hoo! yet?

WooHooooo!

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night and listening to my just-purchased-today copy of Discount Fireworks on the drive down.

well, that was fun!

Sure was!

Dang skippy it was fun!

Nothing like a great dinner with Apples and Llamas, oh my!

And then there was the actual concert. I had almost forgotten how much I like Karin's rendition of "Fever".

Glad I could be there for Bill's 100th show.

Drinking beer and hanging out afterwards was a blast. Sorry I missed breakfast. I crashed so hard I didn't even set the alarm. I don't think i woke up until 11am.

Funny moment indeed! Good to meet you all. Sorry I had to run as soon as the show ended but I had to make the 3+ hour drive home.

For the interested here at the orchard, I'll request Bill post the set-list since he grabbed one. For me, the highllights were:

1- Mickey Grimm
2- The "Firefly" and "Ohio" back-to-back extended jams

Cheers.

Just a quick hello to all of the wonderful people I met at the Rams Head show. As I told everyone I met there, I'd been lurking here quite a while but never got around to posting. It was my first Over the Rhine show and the best show I've ever seen. Cant wait to see them again and see you guys again as well.

yay! hello again!

My favorite was Orphan Girl...

Truly enjoyed the show and the company. Thank you all very much.

absolutely!

wow, what a weekend, couldn't have been better (unless some of you could have joined us). many, many thanks to keith for hauling my ass around the northeast once again and for his generosity and friendship. to michelle, for well, for just being michelle, 'nuff said there. it was great to finally meet vivian, what a smile. as always, it was great to see kelly and jimbo again and to meet carolyn & eric. it was a pleasure to have chris (mini keith) along for the road trip and watch michelle "work" the kid (be nice ) all weekend. the music was amazing and what a great group of people to hang with. as was mentioned, this was show #100 and it couldn't have been better, a really cool night.

ok, wow! i'll post some concert pics tomorrow.

What a fantastic road trip! Amazing show, and it was great to meet Viv, Shang and Kim, and of course a real pleasure to spend some time with Jim, Kelly, Carolyn and long-time CJ fan Po again in what's fast becoming one of my favorite towns. An honor to be in attendance for Bill's 100th show, too!
