thecajunboy Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Dayum! Looka like there's lots of interest. I couldn't find any photos of the lodge, but I can swear I saw some online several weeks ago when we aborted the Tchoup House idea. At any rate, I'll be heading there sometime in the next month or so to shoot some photos of the place. Stay tuned.

MCChris Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Jeffro sent me some pics of the venue to host. Here they are: Someone's gonna get the Gomer Pyle "bar of soap in a sheet" treatment in those sleeping quarters ....
Guest pirateflynn Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Someone's gonna get the Gomer Pyle "bar of soap in a sheet" treatment in those sleeping quarters ....Platzer must have felt the same way. That's why he booked a gig a whole year in advance.lol
belgian Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 The total Hamer Army will be under your command, Sir ! Looks BIG fun !
Jeff R Posted May 16, 2007 Author Posted May 16, 2007 Someone's gonna get the Gomer Pyle "bar of soap in a sheet" treatment in those sleeping quarters .... Should be fun too when Cajun Boy gets everyone up for PT at 4 a.m.
Jeff R Posted May 16, 2007 Author Posted May 16, 2007 Just got off the phone my with buddy, Ashton. He's one of my best friends, a Hamer player and his current tour in Iraq will be over by next April, meaning he's in for the jam weekend too.In addition to having another silly drunk Cajun for HFC'er amusement, Ashton's presence will mean another very big and very fast boat on hand for the Prop Stop excursion.I sent him a link to this thread and encouraged him to sign up and start hanging out here a little when he has time (his day job keeps him kinda busy). So he can get start getting acquainted with some of you knuckleheads now.
kizanski Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 ...Ashton's presence will mean another very big and very fast boat on hand for the Prop Stop excursion.The words, "Ever been down the bayou in a speed boat, Mike?" are still ringing in my head...
kizanski Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 FYI, the Abita brewery, its on-site hospitality room and the Abita Brew Pub are only 40 minutes from the lodge. Both the hospitality room and the pub offer specialty brews not available in stores. I know the brewmaster there - in addition to a brewery tour and hospitality room pitstop...As if they would let us back in there...
guitarzandstuff Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Many of you remember that Cajun Boy and I started working on a Cajun Jam for this year that fizzled out. The two big problems we faced were a.) nice, roomy and cheap accommodations where we could open up amps AND be near some fun stuff to do outside of jamming, plus b.) adequate lead time for out-of-towners to plan accordingly.Today, I was able to secure a venue that meets all parameters and you have over 10 months lead time.I have booked the group lodge at Tickfaw State Park in south Louisiana for Friday, April 4, through Sunday, April 6, 2008. It sleeps up to 50 people comfortably, with parking for up to 28 vehicles should a bunch of you turn road warriors. It's a nice lodge and demand is high. I was able to get the only open weekend in March, April or May of next year, so none of that "can we do it the week of yada yada" - it's a done deal and it ain't changing. You got the lead time you wanted, fix your schedule LOLThe lodge is about 35 minutes from the New Orleans airport and I'll be running shuttles so you won't need transportation if you fly in. The lodge is rural enough for us to jam at reasonable volumes with a drummer. Cajun Boy and Foodermon will cater the weekend with an authentic Louisiana menu, so if you leave hungry it's your own fault.We will be close enough to make a run into to New Orleans to enjoy a little nightlife. We will also be just a few minutes from a marina on Tickfaw River, meaning we'll be able to launch Cajun Boy's boat and enjoy drunk bikini-clad babes on bass boats.Depending on turnout, the accommodations will cost as little as $8 per person for the weekend.More details later, considering we got plenty of time to plan. Just pen the dates on your calendars now because that's a done deal.Sounds like a blast!! Gotta attend this one...
belgian Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I am saving for this one, already 112 € in the jar.
tafkathundernotes Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Should be fun too when Cajun Boy gets everyone up for PT at 4 a.m. I can just imagine..........
Matt Mattson Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Looks like I'll be able to make it. Will arrive by motorhome since it's so uncomfortable to fly with FBI escort anymore. Accomodations look ample for myself and the T-shirt models, but where will the rest of you be sleeping? No matter -- looks like a great time.
BadgerDave Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I'll be there!Possibly accompanied by MC Chris' corpse.Y'all can do that zombie reanimation thing, right?
Jeff R Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 Update: Me and Cajun Boy just got off the phone after another planning session...we and Fooder are planning this event to be one of the most memorable, documented and photographed and hilarious in HFC history.You guys are in for some real treats and surprises. Only shit me and CB could dream up. I'm biting my tongue trying not to share the fun, unique and goofy in an HFC way shit we have planned for participants.I honestly cannot wait for this event. This will be a benchmark in HFC history.Bump to the top...
tafkathundernotes Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 hoo! ho! whoa!...........photographs? Gee, I dunno.......... Couldn't it be one of those "What happens in Loozyanna, STAYS in Loozyanna kind of events? Likker, food, cajuns, and cameras might be a bad combination on account of this here interweb!

We'll have stockings with beerholes available at the door, for those that want to go incognito.

Brewmaster Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Should be fun too when Cajun Boy gets everyone up for PT at 4 a.m. Fuck!!!!!!!! There are some things I would just rather forget.
