Reggie and the Neville Brothers
How can I begin to tell you how much fun I had yesterday at the International Festival. The day stated out very well with meeting people who have seen me before. There where happy to take photos with me. I was remembered from last year. The food was terrific music was great. All types of music. I enjoyed the country music of course.
The best part of the evening was music from the Neville Brothers. Arron Neville. I actually got to meet the Neville brothers. A very big thank you to the Neville brothers for taking time to meet and take photos with me. Also thanks to my friends who joined us, Matt Jones, “The Tall One” and William Hughes, “The Smart One.” I said man I would love to meet the Neville brothers. Matt said, “I bet I could make that happen.” Well, he did and you see the photos as proof. I have to tell all of you I had the best time ever.
SEE PHOTOS OF CONCERT AND BACKSTAGE
It would be a really good thing if we could get a group together and do what I have been doing for a year. I can promise you it will change how people feel about NF, and you will feel better that you did it. Whether you have nf1 or nf2, it is a great thing to let people get to know who we are. I would really like my friend, Brian, to go with me some time. I really think people are more understanding now. It seems to me that people expect me to be there. How cool is that?!! Next stop, the “Art Car Parade!”

Brian, Reggie met the Neville Bothers last night after their concert in Houston. We had spent the day having fun at the Houston International Festival then finished the night watching their concert. At the end of the concert, we just walked back and introduced ourselves and took photos with them. One of them asked for Reggie’s card! I haven’t seen Reggie since…probably a member of the group now.

April 28th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Thanks for inviting us, Reggie and Lou. We had a great time, even if Lou decided to assault the stage skyclad to fetch a new “feather for his cap”. I am looking forward to the next shindig.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Enjoyed it, William, although the handcuffs did pinch a little bit. Next gig, the Art Car Parade, Saturday, May 10, at 1pm!

Brian I emailed you.
April 28th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Reggie, I think it is so cool that you got to meet the Neville Brothers. I wonder if Charles Neville will be emailing you or not. He seemed sincere. What an incredible saxophonist? Is that a word?
April 28th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Lou that would be so cool if I would get an email from Charles. He was really nice. And not I don’t think saxophonist is a word.
April 28th, 2008 at 3:30 pm

April 28th, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Hey Reggie! Just got back from my slap-dash trip to Denton to help Kimka (girlfriend) with her art show. You should check out her site at http://www.imbroglioglass.com, we’ll have to get her to donate something for the next auction.
The Neville Bro pics looks great! That was SUCH a good time!! Also great pics of the jam at Lou’s afterwards. Is it just me, or does that banjo player looking strikingly like Brad Pitt?
Looking forward to the next get together.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
You mean that wasn’t Brad Pitt?
April 28th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Hah! Like Brad Pitt can play the banjo…
April 28th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Hey majorly famous DUDE!
I just saw your full page ad in this week’s TIME magazing featuring your Just Ask campaigne. I am truly impressed and want your autograph when you have time for it.\\
(I’m serious it could be worth someting someday/but that has nothing to do with it), I really wish I’d made it to the TNFF houston highlights party so we could have had a bidding contest over something really neat; like maybe a horny toad skull from Marfa on an ivory pedestaL.
Well, it’s late (8PM) so I’m hittin the hay.
Later!

Bart,
Reggie needs to stay sober during his trip!!! I’m sure the spots you had in mind might test his resolve. I may have to go with him to make sure he stays out of trouble.
Lou

That’s great about the ad!!! I haven’t seen it yet. I guess it would help if I subscribed to TIME magazine. I’m not sure if the ad is in the newstand issues or just the ones that come to the home in the mail. In any event, I’m going to start checking mailboxes in my neighborhood tonight. Thanks for the heads up, Bart!
Lou
April 28th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Bart good to hear from you. Yes please give me some suggestions. FOOD and Trains. And email some photos to me.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Comment 43 Bart email me and let me know, I will come over and sign it for you. I haven’t seen the ad, but I do get to see myself everyday. What more can I ask for.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Lou bring me a few thundered copies of Time magazine. I will wait up for you. See what you have created? I’m already making demands. It gets worst you know.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Brian where you at?
April 28th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
I am here Reggie but fixing to head to bed I am really tired and I am going to have to force myself to work on my tractor tomorrow I really need to start working on it instead of just letting it sit there I also had a email from Facebook but now its gone and I did not even get to read it oh well
April 28th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
hey Reggie I also want a copy of Time magazine with your ad in it and want it autographed
April 28th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I should be here for a little Brian. For me it’s a little early. I have to watch TV for a while Blog and I’m sure I can find some trouble to get it to. I will have to see if I can get some copies. I haven’t see it.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I really love music, I wished I had some talent but my mother and grandmother, and uncle took all the talent, my mother can play the piano, my grandmother could really play the piano she could make any song her own she just had loads of talent, my uncle before he died was writting songs with Roy Clark and Buck Owens, but he died in 68, I really don’t remember him, only what my mother has told him, I can hold a key to save my life, I sound so bad, I sip sinc at office b-days, partys,
April 28th, 2008 at 9:37 pm

April 28th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
comment 54 Patricia I would be tared and feathered before I let someone hear me sing. I don’t think anyone would call it singing.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
LOL thats funny Reggie since I lost my hearing I get songs that I used to listen to that I like and I will start singing the song that’s in my head and my mom tells me I cant carry a tune in a bucket but most of the songs anyway are the old country I like all the old guys like Johnny Cash Merle Haggard Hank Williams Sr all the old guys
April 28th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
For real, I sound so bad I can’t stand to hear my singing. I keep hearing my self say please stop.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
No, that’s me saying it Reggie.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Can’t be you, I never listen to you and nether does anyone else here on the blog.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Reggie , I hope that Lou wouldn’t sing either we would have to Sick Simon Cowell on him.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:27 am
Did Lou say something???
The TIME mag came in the mail so I don’t know if it’s in the local newstands. It had your shirt but not your photograph like I was expecting. It is 5AM and I’m up but I guess that’s what happens when you go to bet at 8. Reggie, I bet you just went to sleep. You’ll have to get yourself ready for jetlag.

April 29th, 2008 at 6:55 am
Comment 55. LOU. Glad you like my girlfriend’s artwork, she does great work. As far as why she’s with me? It’s because chicks dig jugglers!
April 29th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Comment62, No Dr. Moore Lou did not say anything. If you try to call me Just Let my personal assistant know who you are and the will put the call through. Dr. Slopis and you will not have a problem getting through. It’s just the groupies Like Lou that will be kept at bay.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:30 am
WHY’S EVERYBODY ALWAYS PICKING ON ME?!!! I’M PROBABLY THE NICEST GUY HERE…WELL, WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF DR. MOORE, WILLIAM, BRIAN, MATT, TIM, AND JOHN. BUT DEFINITELY NICER THAN REGGIE!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Matt I like the Tree Lamps. I’m going back to the site and see more.
Tell your girl friend They are very nice. Noe you see how I’m ignoring the blogger? Just like water on a duck’s back.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:59 am
I guess I can go to the newsstand and look for one on the magazines that have my ad?
April 29th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Cool Reggie! I’m glad you like her stuff too! Keep her in mind for the next auction. Well, her work. I’m not willing to auction her off just yet!!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Hey Reggie. Just found you on myspace too. I sent a friend request from my juggling show’s myspace account. So the request from “The Other Brothers” is actually from me!
See you later, I’m off to a few meetings now.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Thanks Matt. I will look for the request.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Hey Matt I added you as a friend on myspace.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:19 am
Comment 62 I give out Autographs on Mondays, but because it’s you I will come to you and sign your magazine.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Oh, man, there will be no living with him now.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:42 am
O well. It’s just something you are going to have to live with. Just think how many people will like you because you are hanging out with a cool person like ME ME ME! Did I say ME!
April 29th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Brian haven’t see you. Hope all is well.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Is anyone blogging today
April 29th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
yeah Im ok Reggie just kind of feeling kind of run down today I am fixing to go to Starbucks but maybe I will be better tomorrow I was supposed to work on my tractor today but just don’t feel like doing anything today
April 29th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Brian I hope you are in a better mood later today. Maybe coffee will help you. Just say to yourself. I do feel good. Just think you could be like Lou. And believe me you don’t want to be like him. He is mean to me because I’m so popular and he is not. Someone always have to ask him his name. And it’s only 3 letters. So what does that tell you. Mine has 6 letters and I’m remembered. 8 letters if you go by Reginald.
April 29th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
LOL thats funny Reggie
April 29th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Well it’s true. Lou know that. He will never admit it.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:29 pm

My last name is Congelio, Mr Bibbs. Need I say more?
April 29th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Lou, I can’t wait to hear from the Neville Brothers. That would be terrific. Man that was really nice hearing that music. Just know I met them is cool. All I hear in my head is Amazing Grace. Wow! Powerful. I just wish it would have lasted for about 10 minutes for that song.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Did someone say something? Never mind it must have been the wind.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Reggie the wind must have been Lou cause he always full of hot air and blowing smoke.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
lol you are correct.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Reggie we all know Lou is full of bull corn
April 29th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
