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?

[Cil]

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

[Teresa]

Cil - I second that motion. Funky Meters!!!

[BeachSiO2]

I think I know what Kurt would do if it was a Florida season opener against MSU

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

[Jdarg]

I'm thinking this is gonna be a sweaty dancin' party.

[jlweathers]

nice - ya gotta dig these guys. hate to miss opening day of sec foosball, but at least it aint bama

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

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.

[jlweathers]

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 With that said, I admit that had this been in conflict with the Virginia Tech game, ESPN would win easily.

C'mon, someone answer the woman! Has anyone been there for one of these concerts? What kind of set-up did you take? Chairs, blankets?

You can always go around the corner to the oyster bar.

i've tried loading a link but sowal 'for me' is loading up as fast as molasses soaked sand in winter...

the lack of documentation on the web supporting the event or the venue is astounding.

[Miss Kitty]

I bdarg and Merman for their love and attention to all sowal wenches!!!

Have funn funn funn!!!!

[Jdarg]

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!

[Smiling JOe]

Now that was a show!

[NoHall]

So that's where everybody was when I got back from school! Was it funky?

[Smiling JOe]

Shoot us a link when you post the FLAC.

[John R]

recording was a bust. the wind was way too strong and on of the crew was having quite a lengthy conversation right under the mics useless.

[Jdarg]

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!

[InletBchDweller]

OMG! What funn!!!

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. 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??) I am glad we did not chat with SJ until after we were dancing. Those could have been held for ransom....

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

[Miss Kitty]

...excellent funk report IBD!!!! I love that jdarg's feet are green!

You never know when I might take a photo. 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.

[InletBchDweller]

Whew! I was scared you got me doing the dancing chicken...

I dont think Skunky spun her. I think he saw your face after doing it for all those times...

[Biff]

DANG SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS FAB~!!!!
