Please send me the info. I can definitley promote something like this. escape@barbsbelize.com

If you require any further info regarding this event please feel free to PM me

thnx

Starry, we need an email address for you.

Actually, all one need do is ativate "private messaging" in profile and voila! No need for e-mail address.

Love to attend too, but Dec not in the cards!

yeah k, I thought the same thing - but for some reason Starry doesn't have the little "private messaging" icon thingy to "ativate" (whatever that might be ) so looks like Denny still needs an email

that appears on whan ya ativate :-)

tried to ativate but jus can't stay in the air - am however excellent at aestivate reshuffle the cards?
no ukk wine for me

law- thanks, that was the best laugh i've had all day!

Big E, you never had an HO in ur life! oh wait I mean humble opinion -- can't speak aobut the HO's hahahahaha noicedamnit

laughter is the best medicine . . . even if u r not sick! (mostly here though everyone is sick at some point!)
k - leave E and his hos alone - don't need anymore true confessions on this board for awhile - else we'll need ice all around fer sure

Maybe you should check with other holiday makers comments before heeding this advice

http://fodors.com/miniguides/mgresults.cfm?destination=belize@26&cur_section=din&property_id=180273

But then again most of them can spell too, so what would they know??

*edited to offer balance*

Sorry, Starry . . . but how is it that the guys posting at Fodor's are any more qualified than anyone else who has eaten at Rendevous, including Ernie?

I'll also mention that while the Fodor's posters seemed to like your pad thai, there was either no mention of your wine, or not such a glowing review of same.

Just my recommendation . . .but if you are going to be quoting web items/sites/postings to hype Rendevous, you might want to be a bit more particular.

Hehehe. Paid a small fortune for a bottle of red there one March night (along with an additional fortune for dinner for six) and, when we asked the vintage, we were told "November". Tasted like it, too.

Haven't been back; don't plan to go back. You can buy better wine and food at many establishments on AC much more affordably.

But the Jazzfest sounds fun.

Rendezvous -

Suggest dinner and ordering the following;

Starters:
Thai combo
Pate

Main course - Chicken curry (better than good - it's fantastic). A coconut curry - heat level done per your request.

Desserts - all good, but if you eat all of your chicken curry you will be too full for sweets afterwards.

Prices - more or less similar to other fine dining places like Mata Chica, Casa Picasso, Rojo.

It's a limited menu, with a particular style. Every dish is cooked to order. You eat at Rendezvous because you want this taste, done well. No, it's not cheap, but for those of us who live here and who dine out as our principle form of night-time entertainment, it's woth every shilling. Think about your bar bill after a night on the town, and the price you pay the next day .......... I have never had a hangover from chicken curry!


*******************
For the "good deal" kind of food place - I recommend the following:

Al-Baba - the falafel is only $6 BZ and is almost enough for two.

BC's Bar-b-Q - tons and tons of food - all very very good.

El Patio - the salbutes are sensational - three for $6 bz.

Mickey's - Wednesday Burrito has been a "stuff-yourself-silly" tradition for about 15 years.

Tropical Cooking - very good food, tiny price.

Elvi's - lunch with stewed chicken, rice and beans is just about perfect - wonderful food, excellent price and lots to eat.

Los Cocos - lunch-only - just as you enter San Juan area - home-cooked, limited menu - price is about $7.50 BZ for a hearty lunch.

Other recommendations for good eats -
Caliente
Blue Water Grill
Victoria House
Capricorn
Rojo
Mata Chica
Casa Picasso


And while we are at it - on your way out of Belize, make time to have lunch upstairs in the International Airport - the chef there won second prize in "Tastes of Belize". I thought I'd give it a try - and was blown away!
The menu rivals anything on AC - I had Smoked Thai-Chicken Burrito for lunch - a little "pricy" for lunch perhaps - but it was one of the best meals of my life - $8.50 US (17 BZ). The menu ranges from burgers to exotica, all in large portions, and wonderful quality. You can sit outside on the waving gallery, or inside in air-conditioning. (or get it to go - eat on the plane and drive the other airline passengers mad with envy) It's so good that it's worth arriving three hours before your flight so that you have time for a sit-down lunch.

Ciao.

This is good info. Diane! Thanks!

Diane, good recommendations, thanks!

So sorry to imply that anyone was any more or less qualified to comment, it just seemed that Ernie hi-jacked a topic with no relation to bad mouth the restaurant, the staff and the wine which according to his opinion is not to his liking, all I did was balance the scales.

I simply highlighted the fact that he is but a singular opinion, and if singular opinions are what's required to grade anything I choose to reserve my opinion of this person, however the fact that the restaurant doesn't do the "all you can eat" for $4.99 and the wine is not up to everyones standards then please find a relevant thread to expose that, not one that is for the purpose of highlighting a JAZZ FESTIVAL, no asked anyone to go their for dinner.

I love to eat at festivals!!

ME TOO and drink some too!!

tq - if you make the festival, don't forget your heels and our "tip" jar!! i promise to do the same. heck, maybe i could go into philly and hang out at one of the highway off ramps. i hear those folks make lots of money too!


but seriously guys, every opinion is worth listening to, if not, then why would we look for advice on travel boards??

yo Gwennan... next time you're in Philly do me a favor? Grab some soft pretzels, cheesesteaks and hoagies and overnight them to me here in Texas. Thanks

Stay off the 95 ramps... no money there.

No prob, Denny, only if your cholesteral levels are okay! We boarders have to watch out for each other so that one of these days we can hang together at BC's!

I feel I need to clarify what I wrote earlier, when I re-read what I wrote I noticed it could have been interpreted a couple of ways, so to clarify: I didn't mean prostitution, I meant standing with a " Can you spare some change " sign. LOL

WOW,
Obviously spelling is not many people's forte on this board.
Too bad your opinion of a restaurant is so emphatic!
The main thing is that time and time again people come to The Rendezvous Restaurant and Winery and have a wonderful experience, (noted by the guestbook and their comments - including some big movie stars)!
There will be a Jazz Festival at the Rendezvous Dec. 16 & 17 and their will be wine and great food along with great Jazz. I guess some of you could call up Billy Joe what's his name to see if he is still playing and have a burger or two while your at it!
Regards
Ricky

Will definitely have the tip jar!

as long as one see's fit to admonish others on their spelling, one should be certain to maintain proper grammar as well - 3rd last word in your post (prior to salutation) "your" should be "you're"

anyone ever see negative comments in a guestbook (more than a day old)?

Hey, k, I just love that "spelling/grammer police" game - here's my 2 cents worth: in the last sentence quoted above "their" should be "there." Carry on . . .

Call me anal, however, I believe the apostrophe "s" after the word see in KLC's admonishment is grammatically incorrect.

And law, I believe your spelling of "grammer" is also grammatically incorrect.

Here we go again. :rolleyes:

gotta luv it - cops everywhere

Gwennan, my (now I gotta spell this correctly) cholesteral levels are just fine. I leave them in Texas when I go home to Philly.

Marty should have a speel checker on here.

Did you ever see the customers in a health-food store? They are pale, skinny people who look half dead. In a cheese steak joint, you see robust, ruddy people. They're dying of course but they look terrific.

Denny, awesome, I can send ya anything ya like!
DP, you are absolutely right!

I was in a Health Store one time and I overheard a customer asking the clerk for some help because she couldn't remember what memory pills she usually buys. The clerk looked at her and said "Lady, they're not working" . It reminds me of Billy Crystal's words: "It's better to look good than feel good".

On the other side of the coin, I notice that the news around here is all about fear and consumption. Very often we see clips of obese bottoms walking down the streets of philly near the famous cheesesteak joints, followed by a terrorist clip, another obese person walking down the street, another violent act.....Fear and consumption, fear and consumption!

awl fun ahsighed, eye steel wanna bee their butt cant

me two!

dog... very true... at least I have something to look forward to as I lay in my casket and people come up and say: "my, my, look how robust and ruddy he looks... definitely a cheesesteak eater"

Gwennan, I love you... marry me? wait... you are female right?

klcman, I tried to translate what you said and you wanna be someones butt?

Sea - tol you this was funn. Im' gonna kepe playing un til the boss'es made us not do that. dog perv - i was only obviously being the spelling police - but, just sew u no, the grammer police are the ones what bring home my grammer when shes had 1 2 many.

We're on cheese steaks now. Is cheesesteak/cheese steak one word or two?

It all depends on where you were raised. Non-Philadelphians break it down into two words: cheese + steak, when in actuality it is one word, to wit: cheesesteak.

Everyone NOT from Philly raves about Pat's and Geno's. These are the places that the tourist visit. The only Philadelphians that go there are the drunks at 2AM when the bars are closing and they have no place else to go.

I hope this has explained the answer to your question dog... stay tuned for tomorrows episode when I discuss Scrapple.

I heard that Philadelphians that consumed scrapple during late 1975 had a taste of Hoffa. How many Vienna Sausages are in a can?

com'on, dog - a few of us are on the left coast - cut us some slack - else we miss the funn!

Your honor - scrapple - yum!

well dog, being the scrapple devotee' that I am. I can tell you that 75 was a bad year for Scrapple. However in the 80's the Scrapple got a bit tastier. The missing Playmate, whose naked body was never found, may or may not have ended up in the scrapple offerings for the 80's.

However, I do remember a time there finding little curly blonde... ummm nevermind.

what's the deal w/ judges and little curlies? . . .

maybe that actor with the third nipple got a hold of some of that 80's scrapple!

denny, i assure you i am a female, cute too !
i sure hope you keep floss handy while you're eating your scrapple! you wouldn't want to be walking around with scrapple "pieces parts" in your pearly whites!

yeah, pat and geno's are right accross the street from one another. it depends on whether you prefer cheese whiz or provolone with your steak. i've lived in the area for 7 years now, and still haven't had one! although i have had a soft pretzel or two! i prefer the italian restaurants, you know they are rated by how many bullet holes are in the walls. the best one is a cash only place! just wear kevlar and you will enjoy your meal!!

another one from philly Tastycakes I have a lemon pie on my desk, Yum!

well law, sweetie... I'd tell ya but then I would have to call on the Bellafuccio Brothers from South Philly to pay you a midnight visit.

gwen... 'i am female, cute too'? sure you are, send a picture to prove it... ummm the female part not the cute part.

Trust me Gwen.. don't bother going. Yes, the Italian restaurants are the best! I use to have dinner many nights at the old Palumbo's restaurant "Nostalga" On any night I could walk in and see all kinds of people: mob bosses like Angel Bruno... mayor's like Frank Rizzo... even the TV people... all enjoying dinner... it was a great time.

paguy, there ya go... now we're talkin! My favorite growing up was the 3 chocolate cupcakes... then the butterscotch ones, then the lemon pie.

are those brothers heavy breathers?

MAJOR HIJACK!!

law... they are heavy everything!

and wash it down with Birch Beer!

Oh damn...living here in Pa. someone was always force feeding me Birch beer....ugh...still think it tastes like soap! :rolleyes:

How could I tell you anything when I do not know who you are, you do not know who I am, in fact you seem to be somewhat confused both with your misguided comments and your spelling. Dont you think you should read what you write before posting, is that the drink again???

But in all honesty your singula opinion is pityfull as no doubt is your spending habits.

Rice and Beans for 5 bucks anyone!!!!

So to get back on track, THE JAZZ FESTIVAL is coming along nicely and more information can be gathered at http://www.sanpedrojazzfestival.tk

He's Ernie.

And no, his opinion does mean something--singula [sic]or not. No stone casting in glass houses there, Starry. It results in pitiful (not pityfull) postings. Read 'em before you click.

My spending habits are large and I suffered the same situation he related, albeit one person shorter. And I've had some fine rice and beans in SP very affordably, thank you--well worth the price. It's just that, for extraordinary prices, one expects extraordinary experiences.

ok, commercial break is over, and now back to our story... when we last read....

Extraordinary prices!!! where the hell have you been living, this island has numerous eateries that are just if not more expensive than Rendezvous and offer far worse in terms of value and service. And quite frankly his opinion means NADA because opinions are like arseholes, everyone has them but not everyone wants to hear them!

But in all honesty I dont believe you either, as you commented on a very expensive bottle of wine that was a November vintage at Rendezvous it retails @ $38 BZ thats real EXPENSIVE!!!

I paid sixty bucks for that bottle of wine. All I'm doing is relating my experience. I assume you own the restaurant?

Making friends?

Ah Catatonic, just realised you all belong to the same "club" so your opinion is somewhat biased is it not.

But who cares what you think anyway, its about a JAZZ FESTIVAL cant you get it through that head of yours no one is asking anyone to go for dinner or did that pass you by.

If you paid sixty bucks for the wine then it was not Rendezvous wine it would of been an import so maybe you should make that clear, perhaps I just did anyway.

And no I DO NOT OWN the restaurant your assumptions are misguided.

Will there be food at the Jazz Festival???

Catatonic, I care what you think!

Whatever. They told us it was theirs as that's what we asked for--it's sort of a selling point for the place, you know. It was awful.

I'm done. Everybody go enjoy a bottle of wine or something.

Funny whenever I eat anywhere the waiter allows me to sample the wine before pouring everyones glass this gives me the choice to say yes or no to it, amazing eh!

And if I dont like it then I choose something else, is this just me or has no one else experienced this sort of COMMON worldwide behaviour patterns of waiters?????

Catatonia is a very severe psychiatric and medical condition, characterized by, in catatonic stupor, a general absence of motor activity.
I will always recall studying abnormal psychology within which I studied Catatonic Schizophrenia.
I would immediately change my screen name...
But......Choices....No offense intended....

I have to agree with Starry here. I have been around the world a few times and in "most" restaurants I have been offered the cork for inspection and a sample of the wine. I have declined many bottles.... and a new bottle brought to my satisfaction.

This is Glenn & Colleen from Rendezvous, I had to get my own name to post since I never have before. Mr Starry is a loyal and dedicated employee, who's intent is naturally to be positive and inform the reading chatline public of upcoming events. Something new for us.
It is unfortunate that you did not enjoy your experience at Rendezvous Mr Ernie. I wish that you would have addressed your needs at that time,so that they could have been solved I'm not sure what year that would have been ? A wine that is sold here for $60 is an import. Sometimes they fare poorly in transportation, as with all imports.
Seashell girl, there is most definitely a difference between a trained restaurant critiquer and the average consumers comments.One has to have the experience of not only dining out but being able to analyze and interpret, the chefs creations and decisions in the execution of their chosen trade. These decisions are not made lightly, nor are the critics. I have been both. The emphasis in design & execution & presentation are based on general consumer trends and the chefs desire to excell and do what few have tried before.} or you have a Philly sandwich!? I guess...
We are most excited to bring an array of rare Jazz talent to San Pedro this coming december and hope that those of you that enjoy jazz will come and party with us on the occasion of our 7th anniversary. The profits of the event will be donated to the Chamber for distribution to worth while charities.
I hope many of you will find the time to join us in this celebration and enjoy the the many tunes and flavours that will accompany the weekend.

Now wait just a cotton pickin minute there... Philly cheesesteaks are known the world over. Not too many years ago I was in Toulon, France... right across the little Bay from Monte Carlo. Guess what they were having? "le cookoff de bifteck de fromage de philly" Yes, a Philly Cheesesteak Cookoff!

The honorable philly cheesteak was featured once on the Dame de Grande of cooking herself, Julia Childs.

PLUS... you are most correct when you point out there is a difference between a trained restaurant critiquer and the average consumer's comments. The critiquer gets paid to comment and gets free meals... the consumer is the one that pays money for their meals and makes you a profit, not the critiquer. It's also the average consumer who can drive you into bankruptcy, not the critiquer.

If I had listened to these so-called professional critiquers, I would have missed some of the most outstanding restaurants in the world. I'm glad I'm just an average consumer... the critiquers of the world are bloated, usually pompous, asses.

Glenn & Colleen- This is going to be a wonderful event. We're all looking forward to attending. Hopefully Ernie will stay in Texas.

leave it to the French to try and copy an American institution. I wonder what cheese they used hmmm? I could eat one now.
How about someone in the group make a philly sandwich booth for the Jazz festival? ! We intend to have some 6-10 booths of different kinds of food. The profits go to charity! We expect from previous turnouts, between 500-1000 people

And by the way, if any of you have Jazz friends ,musicians that need to have an excuse to come down,this would be the time. We'll have a press release out shortly.
Thank you for your time
Glenn

Amongst other things, Glenn said "Seashell girl, there is most definitely a difference between a trained restaurant critiquer and the average consumers comments"

Seashell replies: Thanks for backing up the position set out in my post. And very best of luck with the Jazz Festival. I truly hope it will be a great success for the charities and enjoyed by all. For myself, I love festivals, especially those with a musical theme.

As an aside, I also really admire good damage control.

Glenn and Colleen... 2 postings in one day! Welcome to our world... laugh...

Hope to see more of y'all on here. It's a nice place filled with interesting people and a good place to keep your name out there in front of all the people who enjoy AC and the first timers.

Glenn & Colleen - I'll be there in early Dec but not in time for the festival
I looked at your menu and it looks almost perfect. My husband loves steak (not philly) and I love Thai food & wine! You guys would be perfect if you served Budwieser
We must visit your place - it sounds nice.

I was not aware that this was a charitable event. I wish you all success. If Jesse will save me a place at his table, I will join him so we can visit. Love ya Man!

Ernie

Be sure to stock up on Aqua Velva for Ernie.

Aqua Velva? - coulda sworn it was Brute

Wears the Brute- drinks the Aqua Velva

Well then, what does he do with the old spice???

I have a suggestion...

Sprinkles it over meat and poultry for seasonings?

Hey Jesse, turns out there’s no need for you to come up with suggestions, the folks at Old Spice will tell ya just what to do w/ their product - every year they publish a list of the Top 100 Sweatiest Cities in America. Sure enough, as of 2004 the “No. 1 perspiration producer” is in the Lone Star State: El Paso, Texas takes the title. In 2002 it went to San Antonio.
Turns out the average El Paso resident produced 1.09 liters of sweat per hour during a typical summer day (more than three 12-ounce soft drink cans.) In a four-hour period, residents of El Paso collectively produced enough sweat to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool.

Old Spice recommends the following tips to stay cool, dry and sweat-free in any region of the country:

* Water -- Drink plenty of fluids, at least eight to 10 glasses of water
per day.

* Choose Cotton -- Wear clothing that breathes easier, such as cotton.
Avoid materials that encourage perspiration, such as polyester and
nylon, as well as dark colors.

* Replace Salt and Minerals -- Sweating removes salt and minerals from
the body. If participating in a strenuous activity where you
anticipate heavy perspiration, drink fruit juices and sports beverages
to replace the lost minerals.

* Reduce Sweat Output and Stay Odor Free -- Use an
antiperspirant/deodorant daily, such as Old Spice Red Zone, which
temporarily blocks the flow of underarm sweat and reduces its
production up to 85 percent.

There you go - E - although I still peg ya as a Brut guy!

Denny, that is step two....step one = putting on Stetson to hunt the animals.

I am delighted to see that so many of you care about my personal hygine. Just for the record, I don't sweat, drool, stare of into the distance (well, maybe once or twice). My Eau De Toiltte of choice is, Drakkar Noir. About $60.00 per copy. My beverages of choice include a very good single malt as well as a good 20 year old Canadian. Both in the range $50/$60 per copy. If Jesse wishes to contribute, I "May" allow him to sit at "My" table. NAW, just kidding ! Love Ya Man :~) :p

C'mon...who is this...really?

gotta be an imposter - where are the spelling errors and typos?

$50-$60 for a bottle of Canadian? Geez, and I thought my wine was expensive when they raised Ripple to $3.00 Sometimes I splurge and go for Chateau du Ripple for $4.95 when I have dinner guest.

Gwen, Stetson to hunt animals? I got an easier way... I sprinkle Essence de Windeau at one end of the forest and all the animals run in the opposite direction where I am waiting for them

law... I didn't want to say anything but thought the same thing, especially when Ernie was speaking French

Jesse, I was gonna ask that same question.

oh! oh! oh! I just re-read Ernie's post and there is a spelling error... it's Toilette

All you red neck muthers can kiss my Old Spice! I have told you before, If I chose, I can write as well as any one of you. Sometime I chose, sometime I don't give a Bruts A$$.

Take That! and, noicedamitallpleeze.

man, glad I'm from the North and not a redneck...

by the way you spelled "chose" wrong, it's suppose to be "choose"

He's back!
I'm sure redneck is one word

Choose, chose, smoze, doez. See Ya!

isn't it one of those hyphenated words?

Jesus H. Christ! Did this topic start with someone telling about another great contribution to the island life: A Jazz Festival?

I believe it did, but it seems to have turned into an imbecile discussion about peoples' preferences in regards to restaurants and after shave!

Call me stupid if you want, but I think that the topic was posted to create attention to the Jazz Festival brought to us by Glenn and Colleen at Rendevouz. If it helps them promote their restaurant, so what? I know them both and know that they have a true passion for the music they are bringing to us during the two days.

It beats me how people who seem to visit the messageboard 20,000 times more often than they visit the island can allow themselves to drag a good initiative like the Jazz Festival into the mud. Maybe, if you lived here, you would probably understand and appreciate the fact that the people doing this are true music lovers, who are trying to do something good on this little island, instead of just bitching about how "nothing ever happens".

I guess their biggest mistake was to post the news at the general chat area...

Hats off to Glenn & Colleen for doing this! Count on me for any assistance needed.

:rolleyes:

Ernie, the first step on the road to a better life is admitting that you have a problem.


giggle

weile...
I am soooooo glad I hadn't taken my pills yet when I stumbled upon your comments above. Now may I make comments as I pop each pill?

Pill by pill diatribe...

Pill #1. Glenn and Colleen didn't start this conversation. Someone named Ricky did and who joined here on 6-12-2002 and has made 12 postings.

Pill #2. In addition to this part of the board there is the About Ambergris Caye where the original poster probably should have made the first posting, and then a secondary posting here... in the little less reverent section. You need to understand the lay of the land before you bitch.

Pill #3. General Chat Area
Wanting to chat together with regular visitors to the message board? Here's the place. This section is for those of us who like to chat, joke around, etc. And I refer to Plain Jane's original posting to Marty back a few years, in regards to creating this area of the board, just for the purpose of yapping away.

Pill #4. This is not to mean that the jazz festival can't be advertised here, but the poster should realize that the posting may eventually become something more different than was originally posted... as happens to every posting here it seems.

Pill #5. The people that frequent this section do have their serious side and do support endeavors on AC... to wit: the San Pedro Social Club. I don't think anyone realized that all monies raised will be donated by the Jazz Fest, to the Chamber of Commerce, until first mentioned by Glenn and Colleen in their posting on 18 August and to my knowledge never by the original poster.

Pill #6. And lastly... you joined this board on 3-19-02 and have posted 17 comments so far. Hardly the criteria for someone who should be on here blasting people when they really haven't been here to realize how good these people are towards the island... where you live.

Pill #7. Now lastly... Congrats to Glenn and Colleen... I hope this event turns out to be a success and the monies raised and turned over to the Chamber, does the island good and becomes an annual event.

Pill #8. And now, really lastly... your comment "the people doing this are true music lovers, who are trying to do something good on this little island, instead of just bitching about how "nothing ever happens". How about the visitors to the island? Frequent vacationers? People that bring money onto your "little island"? where upon if they didn't come and spend their tourist dollars you would be back in the fishing business and you wouldn't survive in a fishing economy. These board people that you refer to are the ones that keep AC pumped. How?? Geez, dunno... constantly frequenting this board and chatting about how great the island is and everyone should visit it (and spend money) Again hats off to Colleen and Glenn... I only wish I could be there for this charitable event.

Have a nice day friend.

P.S. I don't know what business you are in, but please do not apply to the Belize Tourism Board, as they have enough problems.

P.S.S. Whoa baby! Did I really write that above? I need to start coming here in the mornings BEFORE I take my pills more often!

truly a zen moment

Nah dog... here is a true zen moment:

Two monks were arguing about a flag.

One said: "The flag is moving."

The other said: "The wind is moving."

The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng happened to be passing by. He told them: "Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving."

Well, Glory Be ! Hiz Honer finally said something that I agree with in total. Hang in there Denny, you will come around to my way of thinking after all :p

Did someone ask to be called stupid?

What have I learned today? 1) if you host a music festival, you get your food/wine/service slammed: 2)if you host a music festival,but there's charitable intentions, all is forgiven; 3) this section of the board is reseved for "post-a-lots" plus your posts cannot be relevant to the topic/comment/question that started the thread, unless they're mean-spirited; 4) if you party-hardy in TX, or take medication, you say anything you damn-well please. Don't you love fridays.

Wrong.

1) if you host a music festival, you get your food/wine/service slammed:
Not at all... but if the original post is for profit and not mentioned to be for charity, this is not the place for it

2)if you host a music festival,but there's charitable intentions, all is forgiven;
Everything is forgivable, once your intentions are made clear

3) this section of the board is reseved for "post-a-lots" plus your posts cannot be relevant to the topic/comment/question that started the thread, unless they're mean-spirited;
Wrong again... you don't come here and having only made 17 postings in 3 years, start bad mouthing everyone in sight. Mainly because it shows people what an asshole you are

4) if you party-hardy in TX, or take medication, you say anything you damn-well please.
Oh trust me... and trust me well... I don't need medications to "say whatever I feel like saying." nor do I need medications to point out idiocies. What I do need the medications for after retiring from the court system as a Judge is to rectify what I put myself through all those years by listening to pompous asses. And after over 20 years of hard-nosed politics, both locally and nationally and on both sides of the Bench... I am finally free to let loose with all those years of pent up tongue-holding. So let me amuse myself.

Next?

amen ,amen ,let there be peace on earth.. here is to living the dream and drinking wine with good friends in paradise..

HOT DAMN! Hiz Honer is on a roll today !!! "Hea Come De Judge", "Hea Come De Judge"

STOP IT!!! JAZZFEST...not a JAWFEST.

I'm not the one that started it. I tried to clarify something and then a few people picked my comment apart and felt obligated to respond. And I felt the need to offer my opinions also.

If anyone feels the need to pick on me or pick me apart, then they should know that I will always feel the need to reply in kind

BUT when I am wrong, I openly admit I am wrong as I have done so in this forum previously.

Very entertaining thread and yet the "San Pedro International Jazzfest" is getting lots of publicity nonetheless!

Did I misspell anything? LOL

I Will share my pms meds with you denny if you will share all the good stuff that you have with me

gay the minute I find uot I have PMS, I'll be in touch! lol

Yes TQ... publicity... isn't that why the Jazz Fest was put in this area first?

YOU MISPELLED "OUT" ! Ya Dummy

Have reposted the festival details in a more relevant section, thanks to all for the support here and hopefully it will be mirrored at festival time.

So very sorry so many people choose to make wrong assumptions regarding this event and the restaurant as a whole.

But I have to say if people had taken the same amount of time to ask questions rather than jump in and slaughter, then maybe they might of understood the event and what its intentions were.

Still like someone says its getting a lot of publicity and thats not at all bad

Starry... you're partially correct on your posting. The initial problem was that when the originator of the posting made the first post about this... it might have been better to advertise it as:

Announcing the 1st San Pedro Jazz Fest
Charitable Event - All Proceeds to Island
Rendevouz Restaurant Presents


See the problem was the poster left out a very important key... it is a charitable event. People shouldn't have to try and ask questions about an event... it needs to be properly announced.

Denny, you are awesome! I think I need to borrow some meds, I'm about to take my 2 1/2 y.o. on a plane!

Starry, I think you took something way too personally, there was "general chat" that had nothing to do with putting you down. We just got sidetracked, it happens. I think the San Pedro Jazz Fest will be awesome. Hats off to Glen and Colleen for hosting it, and to you for posting this event. I'm sure it will be a wonderful success, so smile!

TQ- we should consider announcing a formal date for our stands, it seems this is the place for publicity

Now I'm off to a different island <boo hoo>.

Oh, and Law, thanks for the great posts, you are gifted!

Gwen: Yes, Law is awesome... and so is that one guy she hangs with... what's his name? Great idea for promoting OUR charatible cause!!! I should have thought of that one myself! Although you have come up with all the great fund raising ideas! Go for it!

Denny, as I actually stated in my first post for those that require more information to PM me as we only have the roots of the festival.

I believe the post was intended to create a talking point amongst people (surely what a forum is for?), and obviously that is the reason for a posting in the general chat area "to generate discusion" however, unfortunately it got sidetracked and some people went a bit crazy myself included, but regardless of where it was posted it was not the media to bring personal vendattas in to the open but lets not open a can of worms again.

The first poster only had partial information so in all fairness there should be no blame associated with his post it was done for the benefit of the festival as a whole WE then had to JUSTIFY it.

I din't take anything personal I felt compelled to defend my workplace and my employers which I hope each and everyone of you would do for your respective employers.

But once again I thank those that are supportive of this event, once the realisation of its true nature is please try and make it a special occasion for us all and if your up for it your welcome to have a stand there will be alot of people over the two days and you will help many worthy causes all the same.
