Big Wooly Mammoth Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I must say that I've never heard the Spades before. But this piqued my interest. I like what I've heard so far on their web site. And I'm a fan of the pedal steel so this sounds good. I'm going to aim for the The Black Sheep show with the kids. Sunday shows usually start at 4:20 at the Black Sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are kids allowed in at that time, do you think? The "youth" price suggests it, non? Brad, if we do go, p'haps we can squeeze you in between the girls in the back seat. And Aaron...it'd simply rock to see ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Still planning to be there with the wife and kiddos. Hope to see y'all there.paging CJ and DEM - you guys still planning to go to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 yep...we're still planning to go with kids in tow. (We just have to survive the tasmanian devil which is my 5 year old nephew for a sleep-over the night before. Lord give me strength to endure it!)What time are you planning to go....? We'll most likely arrive for a late lunch/early dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 What time are you planning to go....? We'll most likely arrive for a late lunch/early dinner.hmm....haven't really thought about it. I suppose that I'd like to get there around 3:45 to ensure that we get a table. If the weather is okay (the forecast is -1) it might make sense to head to wakefield earlier and check out the stores, walk around, etc...I guess we'll grab dinner at the Black Sheep - they have decent food there.

AD Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 might want to call ahead to confirm that - the last couple of times i've been the menu has been a take out menu from other wakefield restaurants as the kitchen at the sheep wasn't available for various reasons...that could be resolved by now, but just in case.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I saw that on their website and was wondering what the deal was. I never knew that the kitchen had been closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Pleasure to meet Big Wooly Mammoth and family, Northern Wish, niceto see mooooose again after such a long time, and of course always a pleasure to run into BradM. The show was a little different than the others I've played with the boys - we had to reign it in volume-wise (and hence energy-wise) because of the setting. The set still felt good, just a little subdued. Oh, and Jim called for Pirate Radio, which is a tune that I know to hear but we've never rehearsed, but we did it anyway. I'm slowly becoming more and more comfortable with the dozens of Spades tunes I've had to commit to memory over the past three weeks or so...and I can't wait for this Saturday at the Horseshoe! Hope to see some familiar faces out.Oh and Brad...I eagerly await the recording from today...I want to assess it, football team-style, and learn from mistakes. I should mention that your recordings have been a big help to me in learning this band's massive catalogue...we've only rehearsed together once and the rest has been up to me, so thanks for that.
