:041:

[Mudcrutch]

The Knobs ride again, nice.

I wonder if they might do a show before then too...

[TheWildOne]

Woo hoo! On a Saturday!! With advance notice!! :023:

[KansasPettyFan]

:026:

WHOOHOOO! Ryan, are you finally going to get Knobbed????

[agirl]

Why, do they always play on my weekend to work?? :-(

[surfnburn]

Woot..... Too cool..

Why does it say this on their schedule?

"Saturday December 8: TEAM HONKY TONK (Country)"

[fandlinvegas]

What a coincidence...I am going to be in SoCal that weekend for a family thing. Looks like I just might have to stop by :003:

[Refugee]

Woot..... Too cool..

Why does it say this on their schedule?

"Saturday December 8: TEAM HONKY TONK (Country)"

No clue. They haven't updated their website since 9/3/07

[surfnburn]

^I think it means there's going to be a dirty hoe down....LOL

[Echosoftom]

YEAH BABY!!!!!! :041:

I see from the map that The Maverick is near one of my favorite places...Chumash Casino! ;)

[Relic]

Oh my!

Gas up the car baby, its ROAD TRIP time :)

[acomplexkid]

YEAH BABY!!!!!! :041:

I see from the map that The Maverick is near one of my favorite places...Chumash Casino! ;)

then it must be near Solvang? hmmm...wonder if I can make it this time.

[Tara]

Sweet! So this is in the vicinity of Santa Barbara? I'd love to go.

[Echosoftom]

then it must be near Solvang? hmmm...wonder if I can make it this time.
Yes you can! Don't make me drive to the LBC! lol

[surfnburn]

Come on, Gina!! You CAN do it!!!

[Magnolia]

Ohhh, I'm SO ready for a Knobs gig! It is on my calendar and wild horses
could not keep me away. YAY!!
Carol, you gotta switch weekends with someone!!??

[Zombie Zookeeper]

This being a benefit show, should I assume that maybe the Knobs will play a shorter set than usual?

[TheWildOne]

YEAH BABY!!!!!! :041:

I see from the map that The Maverick is near one of my favorite places...Chumash Casino! ;)

Oooooo, Knobbing and gambling all in the same weekend! That's double the pleasure, double the fun! :003:

[Echosoftom]

^ I see I found me a casino buddy! :003:

[LizzieB]

Arg! It was just requested yesterday that I come to London in December (part of filling in for my ex-boss). With the holidays, I just don't know if I can do this show too.

But I haven't completely ruled it out yet. I really, really, really, really want to go!!!

[LizzieB]

This being a benefit show, should I assume that maybe the Knobs will play a shorter set than usual?

Yeah, does anyone know? I probably wouldn't move heaven and earth trying to get there if they're sharing the bill with several bands.

[WildflowerNJ]

Yay!!!! And plenty of notice, too!!! I can't wait to see the Knobs again!!

[Starfish]

I'd love to see a dirty hoedown! Unfortunately I'm going to be in California a month EARLIER. My timing stinks.

[Marion]

I just can't come out in December. There is too much going on for me during that time of the year. I hope lots of you get to go! I want a full report and lots of pictures!

[Raelin]

Yay...Steve and I have a pair of airline tickets we have to use before the first of the year, we were wondering where to go...California here we come!! Is this town near the airport? I can't wait to see them. again!:045:

[wild1forever]

Oh geez, this date doesn't look good for me. Have fun!

[Athena]

Yay...Steve and I have a pair of airline tickets we have to use before the first of the year, we were wondering where to go...California here we come!! Is this town near the airport? I can't wait to see them. again!:045:

Depending on traffic, I am guessing 2 hrs from LAX, 30 minutes from Santa Barbara.

[Refugee]

It's a little more than 2 hours from LAX and about 45 minutes to Santa Barbara.

[Zombie Zookeeper]

Yeah, does anyone know? I probably wouldn't move heaven and earth trying to get there if they're sharing the bill with several bands.


My thoughts exactly Lizzie. Not that I wouldn't enjoy it either way, it's just hard for me to get out there.

[Athena]

It's a little more than 2 hours from LAX and about 45 minutes to Santa Barbara.

Thanks expert, for straightening me out on that one. :) I was looking at hotels and saw one in Lompoc. How far is that? We are debating on staying somewhere nice in or near Santa Barbara, or somewhere not as nice closer to the gig (Buelton or Solvang). The casino would be nice, but $300 plus? And anything right in the wine country area itself is expensive.

[surfnburn]

I would wait and see what happens. December is a long way off. A lot can happen between now and then..

[Refugee]

Athena, Lompoc is about 27 miles East of the Maverick Saloon. They have some nice hotels and some nice restaurants, but not much else, lol.

I think the only place to stay in Buellton is Pea Soup Andersens or the Marriotts.

Solvang has some really nice hotels. Very Danish and has some great little restaurants.

There is also Zaca Creek and Los Olivos, but like you said, the wine country can be a bit pricey.

[The Wild One, Forever]

Do you think this is going to be a concert with an age limit?

[Echosoftom]

Yay...Steve and I have a pair of airline tickets we have to use before the first of the year, we were wondering where to go...California here we come!! Is this town near the airport? I can't wait to see them. again!:045:
YAY!!!! I'm so glad you guys are coming Raelin. It's going to be blast!

[Relic]

Do you think this is going to be a concert with an age limit?

The venue's web site says '21 and older' -

If that is an issue I would call the venue before going to find out if there is any wiggle room.....

[Relic]

Was just wondering......

Given the country theme of the bar and all, do you think the Knobs will dust off a version of the theme from 'Rawhide' for the gig? ;)

Never been to the place but am picturing chicken wire across the stage, and a lot of cowboy hats in the audience :D

[Pawie]

Guess who lives walking distance from Mavericks?? And who WAS supposed to work the 8th??
Right - MOI <VBG>

And I'm going!!! :):):)

Hi guys, it's been a while... :)

[Mudcrutch]

hey. :)

[Pawie]

Mavericks is Santa Ynez. Everything is a bit pricey and I wish I had space for you all, but I just don't and it sucks....
The audiences varies depending on who's playing. Sometimes there's a lot of cowboys, others hip hop. It's really cowboy western style, though.

But I may have an idea. Let me look into a few things:)

[wildgator]

You guys that are going, take plenty of pictures! I have to live vicariously through you guys till I get to the West again!

[LRED]

Holy Cow !

[Athena]

Their website now says, "To Be Announced, Special Fundraiser" :)

[Echosoftom]

I wonder if this means this is the only place and day you can buy tickets for the event??
Athena, thanks for posting this.

[surfnburn]

Thanks for the info.

[Refugee]

Warren Zebon? Can't they spell his name right? :095:

Oh boy, looks like tickets are gonna be hard to get for this event. :085:

[Raelin]

Oh crap.....I hope we can get tickets! That's the day we fly in. I wonder if I can call before then?

[Relic]

I emailed the venue and asked about getting tickets over the internet (or phone) ..

The response I got was:

"Tickets will be available on the internet, guessing Warren Zevons site. Also at the Maverick at $35/pp AND THEY WILL SELL OUT QUICKLY."

Ill add any info I get as the gig approaches.

Check the Warren Zevon site : http://www.warrenzevon.com/news/

I got mine today in a hand addressed envelope with a big Spiderman stamp. Very cool. The note was a nice personal touch. This is going to be good. I'm looking forward to it.

[Raelin]

Mine came on Friday, with a note.

[Tara]

Wow...very cute! Who's Mike Cambell? ;)

Are there any tickets left for this event?

http://deweil.com/steve/Jason_1.jpg

Just got back an hour or so ago - hope everyone got home safely! We really enjoyed seeing all our friends again!

It was a truly terrific pair of gigs. We had a ball.


(Going thru the photos now, but it is going to take a while to get 'em right. Here is a teaser!)

[KansasPettyFan]

That is quite a teaser! Jason looks so good and I love his scarf. Excellent photo! Can't wait to see more!

[Refugee]

That is a BEAUTIFUL shot, Relic!! I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures. :003:

[surfnburn]

Aww....that's sweet, Relic.... I know yours are going to be awesome... So I'll just post a couple for good measure...

http://www.wildbluegator.com/1207show/maveric2.jpg

http://www.wildbluegator.com/1207show/maveric.jpg

It looks like Mike is playing a Les Paul Goldtop... (Jordan Zevon is center stage.) They're going to post more photos from the show on the website for the benefit. Also, someone mentioned there might be some videos on Youtube soon...

[Refugee]

Nice pics, Ames!! The Maverick looks better than it use to be, lol.

[surfnburn]

I loved the cow skulls...lol

I'll write a little something later... As the song goes..."I'm soooooo tired."..

[Relic]

What Knobs gig would be complete without a mirror ball?

http://deweil.com/steve/Mirror_Ball.jpg

Very festive don't you think? "We wish you a Knobby Christmas, we wish you a Knobby Christmas, we wish you a Knobby Christmas and a Dirty New Year!"

Mike playing with one of his electronic toys - Not sure what this one is, but it acts a little like a theramin....

http://deweil.com/steve/Mike_Jag_2.jpg

So there is Mike, holding a pick in his teeth like the way a Pirate holds a dagger ...... :)

[Refugee]

OMG! He's wearing my favorite jacket. *sigh* :heart:

[Echosoftom]

Relic and Ames, the pictures are great! The one of Mike holding the pic in his teeth is Sooo adorable. :055:

Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the reviews.

[Marion]

Thanks Relic and Ames. Great shots! LOVE that one of Ape! He's so cute!

[WildflowerNJ]

Thank you so much, Ames and Relic......beautiful pictures!!!!!

[Magnolia]

Ohhh, these pictures are FANTASTIC!! Thanks you guys! Glad the weekend
was fabulous!

[wild1forever]

Great photos! Thanks, Steve and Ames.

[LizzieB]

Similar to others, but again, I'm sure you don't mind seeing more.

The Knobs as part of the tribute show. They played Incidental Hygiene and My Shit's Fucked Up. LOL, they found the second on YouTube and thought it was funny, so they picked it for the tribute. You can find it there. I have to admit, I'd never heard it.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/lizzieb_bucket/DK%20Dec%207-8/IMG_0091.jpg

The group song near the end, Werewolves of London. It was great.

Ready to get down to business

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/lizzieb_bucket/DK%20Dec%207-8/IMG_0100.jpg


Everyone sang that night

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/lizzieb_bucket/DK%20Dec%207-8/IMG_0107.jpg


The coat...it was so cool!! And necessary. That place is just a big barn and they had the doors open all night. Brrrrrr!!!

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/lizzieb_bucket/DK%20Dec%207-8/IMG_0104.jpg


It was a cold night, but the Knobs were so hot, Jason had to take off the scarf and jacket. I'm glad!!

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/lizzieb_bucket/DK%20Dec%207-8/IMG_0108.jpg

[Refugee]

Excellent pics, Lizzie!!! Thank you for posting them. :003:

[LizzieB]

Ok, that's it for me, it's bed time. If I post a review, it'll have to be in a couple of days. I'll see what others put up, and if I can add to it, I will.

It was a great weekend!!! It was so much fun to see everyone. You guys are the BEST!! And, I LOVE THE KNOBS!!!!!

[Refugee]

HAHAHAHAHA!! These are interesting lyrics.

(Warren Zevon)

Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
He said, "I'll break it to you, son [Warren sings, "Let me break it to you, son"]
Your shit's fucked up."
I said, "my shit's fucked up?"
Well, I don't see how-"
He said, "The shit that used to work-
It won't work now."

I had a dream
Ah, shucks, oh, well
Now it's all fucked up
It's shot to hell

Yeah, yeah, my shit's fucked up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you

That amazing grace
Sort of passed you by
You wake up every day
And you start to cry
Yeah, you want to die
But you just can't quit
Let me break it on down:
It's the fucked up shit

[LizzieB]

^LOL!!! Thanks, Ref.

Ok, I had to log back on because I remembered something.

Beth, I thought of you when Jordan Zevon auctioned off a little guitar he had autographed by Jackson Browne. $750! What a deal. I sure wish I could have bought it for you. :)

[Echosoftom]

Lizzie, very nice pics! Thanks for sharing. :cool:

Ref - LOL@ those lyrics.

[Raelin]

Hey LizzieB! Glad you made it home. Your pictures are great! I can see the backs of our heard, LOL, Steve's little bald head...

[Magnolia]

Lizzie! Great photos! That song is cracking me up right now. LMAOOOO!
Raelin, glad you're home safely and that you and the hubby had a
rockin' time!!

[SusieSunshine]

Lizzie's pics dont come up on my computer....do I need to change a setting?...all I get are little x's in boxes.

[Relic]

They are working for me Susie.

Not sure what the problem is....


(Dont mean to torment you with that which you cannot see Susie, but I really like her photos!)

[LizzieB]

I'll send you a link by email, Susie.

[LizzieB]

^^Thanks, Steve. That means a lot coming from you! I must say your photos this time around are superb. They always are, really. You got some really nice shots both nights. Yours are the photos I'm reliving the evening through!!

[SusieSunshine]

LizzieB...I got the link....but my email was too slow to respond, got impatient and came back here to respond. and also, the pics come up on the thread on my home compoter, but not at work. hmmmmm

[Pankie]

What Knobs gig would be complete without a mirror ball?

http://deweil.com/steve/Mirror_Ball.jpg

I wish I was that pick! Look at those gorgeous hands.....sigh....:heart:

[Marion]

So there is Mike, holding the pick in his teeth like the way a Pirate holds a dagger.You are so clever Steve! That is a great analogy!

[Lucy]

Hi.

Surfnburn sent me here from the Zevon bulletin board. Thanks!

The song's actually 'Sentimental Hygiene' (not Incidental) in case anyone wants to go looking for it. SH is also the title of the album from 1987.

The song My Shit's Fucked Up is on the Life'll Kill Ya album (circa 2000) and it's NOT listed on the back of the CD case. That was WZ's little joke.

Thank you for your support.
