for the sake of your own sanity, all informations about the happennings of last WE in LA has been classified confidential, besides for the concerts.

all i can say is that the familyhood is not a concept. it's a reality. as i remember repeating over and over during the bbq: it was so right.

hopefully, when the DVD is out, you'll witness how everything r...

Hey all! I have never posted a review of a show before, but since I see the reviews are scarce, I will try to throw in my experience of the weekend. I got in Friday night, after a 5 hour flight, straight from work, so I was already exhausted when I got there. Everyone from the list was hanging out at the Travelodge rooms (that was the central meeting place). Everyone I met was immediately frie...

Man oh man....what a weekend. Like Sarah said, gives us some time to recover a bit and gather our thoughts because a LOT of stuff went on that weekend, from a lot of different perspectives. First and foremost what everybody wants to know: The new material. A lot of us have heard four or more of the new songs on the last tour, but they worked them a little differently for the Temple Bar shows (...

Hey everyone! Just wanna say that the show on Friday nite wuz the BOMB!! The new songz are incredible, each song had my full attention through out the show. They're brilliant! Last Dayz is the shit, heavy groove with da' reggae twist. Skank and go Nuttz, Are u wid it, etc. HOT Damn, This is Fishbone! PFN is a good album, but this is the shit Hollywood wrekordz should have let them do. The show and...

Hey all!! We just got in a couple of hours ago...but man, we miss being in Santa Monica. All the way home all we could talk about was missing our new family. The drive home was just a dazing swirl of laughter and storytelling. For all of you that didn't get to go, I will do my best to recount, to the best of my recollection, any and all happenings.

First, the familyhood. I never knew that I could instantly love so many people. Everyone was just so great! I miss you all and I wish that I could have spent just a few more hours with you... The familyhood is a reality that finally set in for me...and I am truly blessed to be a part of it.

I don't know if you want details of filming and all of that, but if you do, I'll be glad to put in my two cents...but I won't for now, I don't want to rub it in...

Now...for music!! I cannot begin to explain, especially since I'm running off of a few hours of sleep, how much the new music moved me and how I cannot get the songs out of my head. Totally electrifying and amazingly powerful, the list is as follows:

Skank n' go nuts--Such an "I wanna just throw my arms up and dance" song that I still cannot get it out of my head. This is one of my favorites and I see it being a lot of other's as well.

Heat of Anger--So powerful, such a message, driven and very moving...

Last Dayz--Maddvibe to music is always an awesome way to go, I love this song and it lays down such a groove...

Get out of the city--so good that you just have to participate...

Black Box--I can only remember a little of this one, it's still growing on me, but it's got some great lyrics

Premadawnutt--I know I liked this one, but I can't pull the tune up in my head...hopefully one of the others can do a better job of a review on it

The Devil Made Me do it--funky and strong...one of my favorites as well

Are U Wit it--Oh, my GOG!! So good...got the groove to make yo' booty move...This song just takes you to another place no matter where you are...

Dance it on Down--So far, my favorite...it really hits home and lets you know that it's okay to have a bad day...one to listen to when you need to let off some steam. So high powered and funky, if you haven't heard it, you are going to love it...

Lose Our Minds--slow groove that lets you feel some Fishbone

Demon in Here--Nicely heavy and great to mosh to...really exorcised some demons..

Frey'd fucking nerve endings--even more powerful and twice as heavy as "Demon", this song got me thrown on stage a few times just from the human tidal force that was crashing me from behind...

And We Fly--Also one of my favorites...this song is forever in my heart. It is beautiful and soulful, a perfect song for a new generation of Fishbone

I think that was all of them. If I didn't review them to anyone's satisfaction, I am very sorry, but I am still in a daze from this past weekend and I am tired... Maybe someone else will fill in my gaps..All in all, I had the most amazing time of my life and I am so glad that I decided to go ahead and make the trip.

I wish I could have met everyone else from the list, I miss all of you that I did meet, and I'm going to go and have some very good dreams.

Peace, Jenna

Wow. What a weekend. WOWOWOW! Its difficult to put into words, but I'll try.

First off, thursday: I went with three friends, two of them virgins, all of us from LA. We got there really early for fear of a sell out, which gave us much drinking time; I had guinness, the others had tequila (more on this later). I met Sarah and several other list members, all of them beautif...

I have to admit to a little apprehension when I heard that the show was going to be all new (more or less) music. It's not that I don't dig hearing new songs at shows, it's just that I love the old stuff so much. Plus, hearing the four new songs on this previous tour when they were in Seattle, they weren't completely fishbone tight yet. But I was sold quickly, once the boys started into their s...

Hey all, I think I've recovered enough from my flight back to NYC to make a coherent post. First off, to echo the sentiments of most everyone else, the reunion and the shows were flat out amazing. The chance to meet some of you folks truly was an honor. At one point, Lauren Batiste asked me, "So what was your high point?" To which I replied, "High point? You mean I gotta pick just one?! Hel...

I just got in (Monday, about 10:30pm) and had about 130 notes to read... mostly, everyone summed up the weekend just as I would have. The whole event just exceeded my expectations at every turn. the music, the location, the people the BBQ (Go Derrick!)... We had seals swimming in the ocean in front of the BBQ! Just amazing.

I still wish I had taken a picture when I opened...

i have slept! yesterday i flew home, went straight to work, then to rehearsal where i was thrown around stage and did backflips (i was already tired!). but now i have rested so i will add my take to the gathering, or really, the soldiers:

Keisha, Angel that she is, picked me up at the airport at 5 am friday morning, before she had gotten a chance to sleep! then she played tax...
