Labor Day Weekend in Joko History
Here is my once-a-month blog where I don’t create anything new, instead, I just re-post memorable stuff I’ve done before. Most of you have never seen this before, so I don’t feel like that pathetic guy in the bar who goes on and on about his glory days playing high school football.
LAST YEAR… Me, at my multi-tracking best:
Two years ago… Baby, would you eat that snack cracker in your special outfit for me, please?
Three years ago this week, I was performing at The Mainstage (now closed) in Seattle every week. Here is a little compilation of the performers there three years ago this week…
“Do any of you write a blog? Yes? Well, for those of you who don’t you should, because we all really want to see pictures of your pets.”
(Or in my case, the squirrels who aren’t REALLY my pets, but kinda count because I feed them.)
Lastly, from 4 years ago, a TWO PARTER… Joko declares bankruptcy in the City. These were the last two videos I made in the state of California. They’re a nice presentation of San Francisco. The weirdest part of this series was when the homeless guy, seeing me walking down the street playing my ukulele, assumed I was a member of his tribe and offered me the food he couldn’t eat. I was being offered help BY the homeless… Yeah, I wasn’t in the best place 4 years ago this week.
You must have some Labor Day Weekend memories. Yeah, it’s not exactly Christmas, but this is our last big holiday until THanksgiving, so share something!
I love it when you talk snack crackers… Let me slip into some cheese whiz. I’ll be back in a minute…
I thought you had a cat…… I heart squirrels, but that’s cos I’m a girl…I know….
Those were great as usual. I like visiting San Francisco and have been able to get there a few times. I’ve always wanted to go to see Alcatraz, but the closest I was ever able to get was the tour boat ride out to the island and back. 8)
Poignant…Meh….. 8)
I would post a picture of Girl, but I still don’t have a camera. I will get Amy to take a picture the next time she is home from College. Yep Girl follows me everywhere and sits and/or sleeps within 5 feet of me. She still won’t let me pick her up, she will scratch, bite, and yowl like her very life depended on it. I have managed to delouse her, she has not been to the Vet yet.
Great Vids. I was on NFL.Com last night watch vids when I could have been watching Joko Vids, dang. I am heading to Morehead to have lunch with my daughter. She is a Resident Advisor and cannot come home for the weekend, so I am going up to visit. I know I could buy a camera for what the gas will cost, but we make the choices we make.
Looking forward to watching your vids when I get back.
and we all should be a member of their tribe at least for the day.
We have a Block Party on my street every year. There’s a waterslide and a Ducking thing for the kids. A bit of drinking for the adults. Food for everybody. We cordon off the ends of the street in the afternoon, and sometimes we’ve had a DJ 😆
Last big holiday until Thanksgiving????? 😯 How could you POSSIBLY leave out the mother of all occasions and the holiday to end all holidays….HALLOWEEN!!!!! Anyday when you can play dress up and get candy for doing it RULES!!!! 8)
Very cool videos. 🙂 It can be a lot of fun to play tourist where you live. We sometimes take some really cool things for granted, just because we have access to them all of the time.
As for Labor Day memories, I have two. 1) Getting knots in my stomach because it was time to go back to school and 2) Jerry Lewis and his telethon. :entertained: And this year he isn’t even on it because they dumped his butt and I’m pretty sure they cut the telethon down to a total of 6 hours. Is nothing sacred??? 🙁
