| hosting events Posted: 8/20/2008 6:05:12 PM | | Amber...I hosted an event in May, it wasn't HUGE but it didn't matter, it was just right and we packed the place in Ballwin; I had a blast and everyone else did too, of course it helped we had a band, I do have a few feelers out for the Christmas Party and the Idea for the Children's Homes once again, for bands, I've contacted 4 so far, I have to wait and see..other than that, it's not hard, just contact the venues you attend for fun on the weekends and see if they'd be willing to have us. And then go from there. | |

| Friday Aug 29 Posted: 8/27/2008 6:40:25 PM | We're going to Mark Twain Lake with a buddy of Jerry's; his Mom owns some property out there and a nice size pontoon boat; other than that, it's another lazy weekend by the lake..we were at Lake of Ozarks with Laura (er a Yolanda) this past weekend, had a blast! Especially when we toppled off the seadoo into the Lake, not 100 ft from the resort, couldn't have planned that better! You all will have to have a visual on that as no pics were taken, we were all on the seadoos!
What a blast, I'm so ready for another fun weekend in the fresh country air and sunshine!
Kat ~ 6 Flags, have fun but mainly enjoy the Martina McBride concert; I cannot go due to Lake plans, but would love to see her; have fun at the SIX as well, the Evil Knieval is my new favorite coaster! | |

| Trixie Delight - thoughts and prayers going out to a great band Posted: 8/27/2008 8:00:42 PM | While everyone is out and about this weekend with their Labor Day activities, keep one of our favorite bands, that some of us gals enjoy going out to listen to from time to time, in your thoughts and prayers. Trixie Delight has lost a great guitar player this morning. Steve Burton, 39 years old, passed away this morning due to complications from being sick. Steve was a very talented guitarist and will forever be playing his music from above. This band is truly an awesome band and if you ever get the chance to meet them, they have great personalities on the stage as well as off the stage. They posted a bulletin on Myspace as well as their website in regards to this and have cancelled their shows this coming up weekend. I know my last memory of Steve is watching him play on my birthday at Wentzville Park for the 4th of July.
Rock on Steve , you will be missed!
This just goes to show that tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone. Live each day as it's your last and don't take anything for granted. | |

| Trixie Delight - thoughts and prayers going out to a great band Posted: 8/27/2008 8:43:52 PM | Teresa - sorry to hear about the loss of the band member. I know that this is a good band and my sympathies go out to them. As you say: This just goes to show that tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone. Live each day as it's your last and don't take anything for granted. I live by that thought since my car accident in April 2005. Not only was I lucky to live but also lucky that they didn't amputate me at the hip but instead pieced it back together. Carpus Diem!!!!!
Everyone have a good Labor's Day Weekend!!! | |

| Trixie Delight - thoughts and prayers going out to a great band Posted: 8/29/2008 8:01:09 AM | An update on what Theresa posted about Steve of Trixie Delight.....
Collections are being done for his funeral expenses as well as a trust fund for his son. Steve had no life insurance, or even a car for that matter...and with his life ending so abruptly, the St. Louis Trixie fans are really needed!
http://www.trixiedelight.com/DonationsforSteve.html
Donations can be made online, as well as Kelly and the band will be circulating the bars they play, passing the hat, this weekend.
I am working on a donation spot at the Strat, as well...though it has been a bit since they played there. Two of the spots they frequent often and will most definitely be at are That One Place (Fenton) and House of Rock (Ronnie's Plaza in St. Louis Co)
Thanks! | |

| Trixie Delight - thoughts and prayers going out to a great band Posted: 8/29/2008 9:16:49 AM | I did get a note from Denise and see here that Theresa had posted about Trixie Delights band member. It is very sad. Just shows ya never know what can happen. Trixie Delight is my all time fav band and I will miss their awsome guitar player. Hope ya'll have a great weekend!  | |
|
| Trixie Delight - thoughts and prayers going out to a great band Posted: 8/29/2008 9:22:19 AM | I know, Laura...VERY sad. Very frightening, too...as he thought he only had a flu. :o(
Trixie and Just Mr. have been my two fave bands for YEARS....have some hilarious memories of Trixie at That One Place...OMGosh....when they had two female leads...and I have been hooked ever since! Once saw Kelly at the boats when she was just out having a night out,...and she is a RIOT! | |
|
| Trixie Delight - thoughts and prayers going out to a great band Posted: 8/29/2008 4:27:17 PM | Hey Kat so true ya just never know when it's your time. I'm glad you posted about the donations for the funeral too. It such a shame that people have to pay such astronomical fees just to be buried/cremated whatever. Never saw Trixie when there where 2 leads but I'm sure it was awesome. I do remember the last time Denise and I went to BBB just standing there and watching Steve play. Strange thing is I was only watching HIM... premonition? I don't usually do that either. I hope he is at peace in heaven.  | |

| Blues Festival Posted: 8/31/2008 6:56:08 AM | Had alot of fun..heard good music and did some dancing.. The Blues Fest. is great.May try and go again today.. | |
|
| Blues Festival Posted: 8/31/2008 8:30:23 AM | | sorry I missed the good time there. I used to go there before I turned 21 (which was many ages ago) and have gone there just a handful of times since, but we always had a good time. I ended up going to the local bars out here in Troy last night after the reception, had a great time and am thinking that it's high time I get back out again and stop playing hermit because of my surgeries......unfortunatly though the smokey bars is doing a killer number on my throat. | |
|
| Blues Festival Posted: 8/31/2008 3:39:33 PM | Dang kid - I didn't know you had surgeries!!! I would of kept you in my prayers. Sorry I didn't know but def have you in the prayers now. | |

| Blues Festival Posted: 9/1/2008 7:26:31 AM | I see we have survived (almost) another long weekend; heading to wineries today. I think I'll be glad when Tues rolls around so I can rest LOL
Had fun at Mark Twain Lake; went out on a friend's boat for a trip around the lake, had lunch and almost ended up as an overnight adventure..you know, no cell service, no oil in the boat, all oil containers empty, good thing the water patrol was out and about, they came right away, offered us a qt of oil and we made it back to the main boat ramp. Hung out at the house yesterday, the guys cut his mom's grass about 6 acres worth! I laid around most of day, wasn't up to par, feel much better today! | |
|
| Blues Festival Posted: 9/1/2008 2:20:26 PM | | Well Dave and I went motorcycling ride with Clint up and down 94 thru the Winery area on Sun. Nope, didn't stop to drink just enjoy the beautiful day. Today Dave and I went by ourselves over to the river road and stopped at the Dock Restaurant in Grafton. Good thing I was wearing my swimsuit - decided to go into the river to cool off. It was so nice that I didn't want to get out to get back on the bike. Hope all had a good weekend. | |
