 Hi Amicustoall and annaonthemoon!  Nice to see you here.  :)  Anna/Becca - I'm still croaking a bit too.  My voice loss is mostly from the cough (that still won't die!).  And I can't seem to function without ten hours of sleep a night.  So worth it, though. 

 

haha AnnaBecca. I like it :D  (You can call me either, I respond to Anna just as readily as I do Becca).  Ugh. I've been sleeping so much since I got back, it's really driving me crazy!  My voice is almost back though! :D (just in time to loose it at Shamrockfest next month)

Just received this e-mail from the love of my life:

Some guy from Ohio just sent me a DVD of the whole cruise. I musta been drunk and gave him a business card. I think it has the song writer's circle too!

I'll bring it home for you to play with tonight.

How awesome is that GUY FROM OHIO? WOOT! ... Shout out to the Guy From Ohio, if you're reading this by chance, you're awesome MANY MANY THANKS!!

Cool, what time should I come over?

In the social order, I accept the bottom rung, until the wine is pouring and the Lord commands a song!

Call me.

Hey Kelly - I DO have a DVD for you! LOL. The world is a funny funny place.

I would much rather be posting this in the upcoming shows thread, but only time will time. Talked to Joy at Sixthman this morning, she said the new Ships and Dip V web site will be launched next week. At that time, at least one act will be announced (maybe more). The pre-sale is to begin about a week after that. Public sale to begin early June.

If anyone else was thinking about bringing their kids along--especially given the release of BNL's new kids CD--I checked on cost and all kids under 14 get a tiny discount ($99 off) but the cost is pretty much the same for each person regardless of age, including babies and toddlers. Something about the coast guard counting each body...have to admit my mind went south after she mentioned coast guards counting bodies, so I didn't get her explanation.

As always, I hope to see GBS on board and GBS friends old and new.

I'll second Tina's hope.

Tina, are you now TinaCap and TinaMack?  I'm confused, not really an unusual state for me though, lol!

Is the "Guy from Ohio" on the OKP? I would love to get the DVD too. I was lucky enough to go to the Songwriters Panel and it was great. We recorded some of the shows on a digital audio recorder, but had given it to one of our friends who went to the Carbon Leaf show during the SWP, so we didn't get it. Does the DVD have other GBS shows on it? I've also been checking out the BNL site as they are supposed to have a DVD available too, but so far haven't seen any release of it yet. I am so hoping that GBS is on Ships and Dips V.

If anyone in here is considering cruising on Ships & Dip V and wants to be involved in the pre-sale AND hasn't sailed with Sixthman before, you have to register as a fan on the BNL site and register with Sixthman before May 21st.

Read this for more info: http://www.shipsanddip.com/presale.html  You would be included in group 3.  

The full Ships & Dip V site is supposed to be up this week (just the splash page is up right now) and there is supposed to be at least one artist announcement too.

Double Post! SORRY!

New twitter from Sean:

Much talk about Ships n Dip 5. BNL are trying to bribe us with money but we r holding out for unlimited Mojito bar tab instead. Stay tuned.

LOL! Doesn't sound like a topic I'd bring up with fans if I wasn't planning on being there! WHOOT!! Waiting for confirmation. Hoping like hell. So happy I think my head might explode...stand clear!

Hey there, Ladies Room!

Barenaked Ladies and Sixthman are up to some more shenanigans! We're sailing again and it's the real McCoy - Introducing Ships and Dip V, sailing through the Caribbean February 1-6, 2009. We're bringing you the goods in what's sure to be the craziest, zaniest time at sea!

Join your hosts Barenaked Ladies, alongside Great Big Sea, The Weakerthans, Butterfly Boucher, The New Odds, Boothby Graffoe and more bands to be announced throughout the year, as we set sail on the Norwegian Jewel. For five days of NCL's Freestyle Cruising, you won't get the bum's rush for doing exactly what you want! You can get dolled up, or keep it casual. With 12 restaurants and 11 bars and lounges to choose from, a luxurious spa, full service casino and plenty of other features, you won't have any trouble making your cruise experience the cat's pajamas. We set sail from Miami and cruise to NCL's private island of Great Stirrup Cay and Cozumel, Mexico- two great places to get some sun on those gams!.

Cabins start at $749 per person* based on double occupancy, and with a new ship, new ports and a great lineup to be announced throughout the year, they certainly won't last long!.

As a Ladies Room member you have the opportunity to be a part of the Ships and Dip V pre-sale. Meaning better cabin choices and better seats for BNL's headlining shows!

Sixthman will be sending you further booking details shortly, including your booking time and booking token - which will allow you to reserve your cabin. Please keep in mind that tokens are non-transferable and the name that the token is registered to must be the same name as the lead passenger of the cabin. The deadline for registering for the pre-sale will be 11:59pm est. May 21st.
