i thought it was a great time, venue was nice, it was nice to be able to run around with no shoes on for a change.
the setlist was awesome imo, my girlfriend ended up getting her hands on it, cool thing about the setlist was he had the harp keys by the song and also the chords for seminole wind (probally for will).
the last solo jj we saw was up there in st. augustine a little while back, and we all agreed that his playing was getting much tighter, comparatively (not that the preivous was bad).
i also have a bunch of pics, i will figure somewhere to dump them.
good times, i am not sure how i did not run into anyone on here, i talked to a few people and they were not aware of the site, but will be checking it out.
I have uploaded all 190 pics from Surfin Snook to www.gallery.me.com/sixtow. There are also pics ther from Skipper show and both Blackwater Revues. Surfin Snook Summer Jam was Great. Beautiful Facility, Wonderful Grass, Laid Back Crowd, Super Weather (considering the time of year) and JJ. It was a nice intimate show with friends and fans. I got some pics of the amphitheatre and the small crowd to give those who couldn't attend a sense of the atmosphere. Oh yeah I also got pics of JJ playing the Yuke. PS I am in the process of YouTube video of almost all song under JJ Grey Surfin Snook Summer Jam 2009 7 parts
Axl.......we were all dead center at the start of the grass.....about 12 of us and the rest were just to the side of the soundboard under the pop up tent.
Great to finally meet and put a face to several of the people I've chatted with on this message board.

HAHAHA! Look at the expression on my face and me clutching Eric's fish!
I beg to differ! :p He knew I was next to him on the stage, we were chatting as he was signing autograph's, he just didn't know I took a step back to check out the manscape! I mean really, it was an opportunity I just couldn't resist!
In case you didn't know this, every once in awhile, I have a very slight problem with impulse control! :p
You should have heard me asking him if he would "sign my fish!" :p ---------- When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be

Seeing Tosh on the stage moving and grooving to JJ was a joy to behold!

Sorry we missed you Axl. I must've walked back and forth from the front where we were sitting to the soundboard about 20 times! Yep, we saw Scone and his GF and inquired and he said they are official residents of SE Florida now...and love it.
In case y'all missed SixTow's link to his photo gallery be sure and check it out. Had a chance to meet him and he had a crew there including his family and kids. Great guy, huge fan, he shoots super photography and videos y'all. Welcome aboard SixTow...glad to have you!!

I got 2 captions for this one y'all. Either "UHollis tries to sing harmony with JJ. Clay tries to look impressed." OR "Clay tells one of his long-ass boring stories to UHollis and flat out puts him to sleep."

Hahaha! I was singing my little heart out, sort of like I do in the privacy of my on home! My neighbors love me, you know! :p I wonder what song that was, because obviously I was feeling it with every fiber in my being?!? ---------- When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be
"barefottin' with the Southern trip" I was so sweaty I think I actually stuck to him! Poor JJ, having to deal with the likes of me!

It is so cool to put faces to the names on the board. Funny how some look like you would imagine, and well, some not :o)
Firefly, that was a very very funny comment, my co-workers asked me what the hell I was lookin at, cuz I just busted out laughing when I read that!! Thanks for the morning giggle, and in a round about way, from Giggles herself!!
Have a wonderful day y'all! ---------- "No effort, no gain No effort, stay the same No don’t you ever try to live a lie"

Clay, As promised Saturday night, I am no longer a lurker, now a participant... Thanks to Clay and Trophy Wife - and all - for letting us (my sister, Amy and me)join in and be part of the group festivities... Keep on doing what you're doing. I'll do my part from now on. Needless to say, it was a great show. Got the opportunity to talk to J.J. before the show and "complain" about no BSR 3 this year (the amphitheatre is a 5 minute walk from my house)...He did promise something around that time relatively close by-which I'm sure you are already aware of. We'll see you all down the road. Brandan
Welcome Brandan and what little nugget of info are you holding!?!?! ---------- "No effort, no gain No effort, stay the same No don’t you ever try to live a lie"
It was a great time for sure. We should all wish for a little amphitheater like this in our areas. Very impressive venue. Also impressive were all the volunteers that put the event together. Thank you to everyone from the Snook Foundation and the Surfriders Foundation for all your hard work before and during the event!
We had a great time with our extended Mofro family. Nice to spend more time with Stan and Hollis, great to finally meet morena (and her friend), meet people I haven't before--like BSR*Fan above, welcome Brandan!--and SixTow, and others.
It was hot! I mean hot!! But they had plenty of beer for sale and even were handing out free water and power drinks.
I can't believe JJ played so many songs! I didn't think he'd have that many on the setlist. Can you believe he even did Jookhouse on acoustic? It was about a 2 minute version, but he did it.
Note to giggles: Whachutalkinbout? You WERE TRYING to stick to him! (He's going to start running away soon. You realize if he has to hire a security crew becuz of you that tix prices will go up, don't you??)
What Brandan is referring to is same as has been discussed on the BSR3 threads Sunny. No BSR3 this year but (as JJ now confirmed) rumor has it that they are planning something in N. Florida this fall. To my knowledge, no other info has been disclosed...unless he gave Brandan more info. So JJ could be talking St. Aug, but "relatively nearby" could also mean Jax or Jax Beach (or Daytona for that matter.) If it's fall I suppose it could be an outdoor event, or perhaps it's a couple nights at the Freebird. Total speculation on my part because I honestly don't know. ---------- MofroFan1

Oh no! I don't want to be the cause of hired thugs or sky high ticket prices; therefore I propose that Clay purchase a small cattle prod or a low voltage taser and just apply a wee bit of "crowd control" if I get antsy............or I could stop going to shows. ---------- When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be
I vote a "padded" cattle prod ~ you can't deny Giggles exposure to JJ.....probably would not be good reprocussions ---------- "No effort, no gain No effort, stay the same No don’t you ever try to live a lie"
It was funny; when I asked J.J. about BSR3, I started by saying: "Since there will be no BSR3 this year..." He interrupted me and smiled and said that wasn't necessarily true (or words to that effect)... BUT, he then told me they were working on something around that same time period, most likely for Jacksonville. And then he apologized for making me have to drive from St. Augustine to Jax for a potential shindig, which I got a kick out of...
Hello Brandon! Thanks for the inside info, great sleuthing work! You were the gentleman in the autographed hat, right? As Sunshine said, it's always nice to match faces to screen names=) ---------- When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be
I don't know how much of a gentleman I was... Yes, that was me...Got it autographed at the second Skipper's show this year You may(or may not)recall talking to my sister, Amy and me regarding you chastising her at the Orlando HOB show for not knowing the words to some of the songs...
Are you sure that was me? I was the crazy red head holding the big fake fish! Because that does not sound like me at all! I can't imagine chastising anyone for not knowing the words! I very often will not sing along because I am just so moved by the experience that I am literally rendered speechless with awe. But if by some freakish reason I did (maybe I was suffering from heat stroke?), please accept my most sincere apologies!! ---------- When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be

You know what--It is I who must send my sincere apologies...I talked to my sister, and I got things mixed up. My absolute sincere apology to you. Not that it was that big of a deal to my sister--she got a kick out of it. But-I don't want anyone to get the wrong story. And, I certainly don't want to get off on the wrong foot on this forum...I guess that may be too late, eh? Really, really sorry. I owe you a beer or three next time around. And, I certainly remember the fish.
Oh Brandon! No biggie! I just wanted to apologize if I was un-giggles like, is all! I try to spread, cheer, positive energy & good vibes to all that I meet. =) ---------- Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History

how cool, a converted lurker,welcome to the board and you don't ever have to worry about saying the wrong thing, that's my job but only because I'm from a different planet and sometimes all I know how to say something is to be straightforward, without any frills and confetti. you were at HOB? we were the crazy bunch up front that kept chanting names ---------- "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation." - Herman Melville
