Porter-Batiste-Stoltz (3/4 of the funky meters) will be appearing at Pier Park on Thursday, August 30th.


This conflicts with the LSU v. MSU, 2007-2008 season opener on ESPN, kickoff at 7pm. What is a Bayou Bengal fan to do? :scratch:

See the Meters.
The Bayou Bengals won't feel dissed if you do. They'd understand.

Go to the show and sneek a peek at a TV every so often. I feel confident your fighting tigers will win easily while keeping it strictly vanilla...no need in giving Virginia Tech some meaningful film to study:cool:

Not my Tigers.
Not yours either if you choose funk over ESPN. :lol:

Then there is Tivo though.

I'm such a band geek. Despite knowing perfectly well who the Funky Meters are, I saw Funky Meters (3/4) and thought, "3/4 isn't funky. It's a waltz meter..."

Been in school all day. :doh:

as a general rule of thumb, funk must come before all else

the rare allowable exceptions being a funeral, the occasional wedding (& only b/c the reception band plays funk), & alabama football.

I'm a double alumnus, I don't need to watch ESPN to prove my blood type is purple and gold:biggrin: With that said, I admit that had this been in conflict with the Virginia Tech game, ESPN would win easily.

Just heard a great interview with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry on NPR- the inspiration for "Walk this Way" came from listening to the Meters (back before they added the Funky). Joe Perry is a Meters fan!:biggrin:

Fun fun fun and funky!! And sweaty!! Skunky was right about them ol' Meters. My feet are green.

Kate's favorite part was hula hooping. I need to let her take her own hoop to concerts!

OMG! What funn!!! :clap:

THis may be my new favorite place to see outdoor concerts. Plenty of parking, nice restrooms, and so close to the Gulf that the breeze messed up John R.'s recording. (:( sorry John R, I would have liked to hear that Floyd song again) There was a tent in the back of the viewing area that sold wine and other things. The Optimists were helping people park which made it easy.....Dogs were everywhere (all on leashes) and a rolling cart was being pulled around that sold glow in the dark things for the kids.

Ms. Kitty, I boogied for you. JDarg had to coax me to the front row but I did it for you.:blush: :biggrin: After a few songs you can not help but to start the toe tapping. At the end of the night I think we ALL were flailing arms and legs. (did I see some pole dancing??):floor: I am glad we did not chat with SJ until after we were dancing. Those could have been held for ransom....:blink:

Thanks for a night of great funn with WONDERFUL friends.....:wub: you guys!!!

You never know when I might take a photo. ;-) :biggrin: :lol: just kidding, I didn't get any of you. Did ibd (little) ever get Skunky to spin her? After doing that vigorously twice, I couldn't see straight for quite a while. She and Princess Kate kept wanting more, more, more, do it again, but I thought I was going to fall down just standing still after doing that.
