Oyster Bake / Fiesta stuff

[Spurfect]

Who all went to Oyster Bake? I went on Saturday and it was my first time going there, I really loved it. I went mainly to see Army of Anyone but the whole experience was a pleasant surprise. Did anyone else go to that concert? I was at the very front!! Also has anyone been able to enjoy Fiesta this week? Seemed like the weather was bad for a while, then my co-workers could never agree on a good time to go. We didn't get half the day off today either :cuss I was hoping to be able to see the Battle of the Flowers parade.
When does Fiesta end???

What the hell is Army of Anyone?

[Spurfect]

What the hell is Army of Anyone?

the lead singer of Filter, the guitarist and bassist from Stone Temple Pilots and drummer Ray Luzier. Formed together to make Army of Anyone. they played a Filter and STP song.. it was really cool

[Buddy Holly]

I did notice it get rowdy at night time...

He's talking about the carnival downtown on the southwest end of downtown not Oyster Bake.

The carnival downtown after night fall is pretty much crap.

I work right off of S. Main and Durango and it was crazy all week. I'll be glad when this shit is over.

If you mean Tuesday night after NIOSA, that was one of my coworkers. She also got a few people on the bus back to the Park & Ride.




The last Oyster Bake I went to was when Tonic was there ...

[Mijo]

Does anyone remember when "Passing Strangers" or "Sun-Day" would play at La Semana or the Market? Man, how the years slip away... :depressed

The last time I went to Oyester bake was when Fastball played.
We worked a little more than half day...we got to watch the Battle of Flowers Parade as it went by since I work at Broadway and 8th (and we had a BBQ in the parking lot)

[KEDA]

I am standing in line for a turkey leg at NIOSA as we speak, and it's pretty damn crowded. But i loves me some turkey leg, so it's worth it.

hell yes it was crowded, I usually go on fridays because it is less crowded. But I think since the weather was shitty during the first part of the week, people came out last night to make up for it.

[Bigzax]
