All you New Haven area CT TFFers....

[Franklin]

Tonight (Thursday 11/20),
My newly restructured band will be at The Corner Pocket Cafe in Orange.

Stop by, we'll start up around 10pm, $5 at the door. Tell them you are there to see Red River Soul because there will be another band playing after us.


Check out their website or ours for more info.

Red River Soul


Thanks, see you there!

Aw Crap! I just got in and it's 1:11 am. A little too late for me. Sorry bro. Maybe next time. Tell us how it went.

[coldshot3]

Wow...I was workin' second shift and could have dropped in. It's right around the corner!(no pun intended) Gimme a heads up if you play there again!

[Tele-Bob]

yeah tbb. A little advance notice goes a long way bro!

[Franklin]

:blbros


Sorry! How about Michael Anthony's Lounge in Rocky Hill on Sat. 12/13? Enough notice?


The place last night was a cover band kinda place, with national acts too. We opened for "Original night" and was hoping for a call back. They asked us to play a Saturday night in February! Wooo Hoo!

[gibsonjunkie]

Me and the Mrs. are gonna try and make it on the 13th!

[Franklin]

Alright Nick! Maybe we can get some more TFFers to go! How about Troy T, the Ajays, coldshot or maybe even Tele-Bob himself!

[gibsonjunkie]

OK - so who can make it on the 13th?

[Tele-Bob]

I'll be jamming at the open mic at Alfa Pizza in Milford tonight. Probably.

[coldshot3]

What time TB?

[Tele-Bob]

Sorry, changed my mind. I have 5 new tunes to learn tonight for a little "get together" tomorrow night. If I wasn't such a dumbass and did my homework today, I would be able to go tonight.

[Franklin]

Good thing it's not tonight TB!

We'll be in Rocky Hill on 12/13, in Seymour on 12/19 or 12/20 and in Milford on 1/10. Maybe we could organize a boardie bash as they are called.

[Tele-Bob]

A Boardie is a person who frequents a specific message board like TFF. A Boardie Bash is just a get together of people from a specific forum. We usually call them "'jams" because that is what we do, play music.

It could be scrapbooking and we'd get together for a "Scrapbooking Party". Or, if we were Blues nerds, we'd meet at a show/festival.

By the way, we'll be in Seymour on 12/20.

Jeez Frank, everytime I logon I see you've got another gig. I oughta go check you out sometime -- ya know, not at a jam. 12/20 might work.

[Franklin]

Thanks Mark. Hopefully there will be plenty more if you miss the next few. We are working on playing out more in your neck of the woods. Everytime I think of you I can't see anything but the most beautiful Tele, that copper color is the best thing I have ever seen! I keep wanting to build one and try to have it that color, but I don't know if it can look as good as that one.

How did you make out with your Dad, how is he?

[gibsonjunkie]

So? Who's up for the 13th?

[gibsonjunkie]

Sorry we didn't make it, BB. I'd still like to hear you guys sometime, so keep posting playing dates here.

[Franklin]

No problem gibsonjunkie!!! The place was a dive, I mean a real shit hole. When they locked the door at night, they left A LOT of food and glasses sitting on the tables.

Many piles of eaten chicken wings that were already there when we showed up never got bused up!!

Stay away from that place!!

[Dr. Jimmy]

How was the Corner Pocket? I haven't played there since the new owners took over. Still a small room?

[Franklin]

Dr. Jimmy,
Yes, still in the small room. It's a great place, I like it! We'll be there again on New Year's Even and on Jan 10.

[Franklin]

Dr. Jimmy-
Still a small place, but lots of fun! We'll be back on NYEve and on 1/10
