Hula Girl in S. Austin

[jamestchaney]

several Months????? I already leased you a killer house in S. Austin near Blaze's grave. MY OLD HOUSE, SWEETIE! I LUB U.

[jamestchaney]

I submit dat we shud commence ta "rejoindering" rite now. What ya'll thank? Who wanna "rejoinder" a mite bout Hula gal? (how am I doin' now, Miss Moderator-Hostess?) l luv dis!

[Anna1755]

You are doing much better, I'm happy to note. THAT SAID, I've got to attend to some chores. Signing off for now. Be well, and give my regards to Austin and or Blanco.

[jamestchaney]

bye, bye sweetie

[Anna1755]

Bye you crazy madman!!! Later!

[jamestchaney]

sounds like u have "regulars" in here & I dun irreparable damage to my stellar rep-a-ta-shun awready, dang it. U takin advantage of newbies! agin!

[Anna1755]

I do. And, as mentioned previously, am very proud of having won their respect, given that I am not a trucker.

Your reputation will probably survive. But these truckers have mighty sensitive shit-detectors, so you betta be on the up-and-up or be prepared to be shot down and / or put on 'ignore' : fate worse than death for some. *ahem* *cough cough*

[Anna1755]

And to give you SOME perspective on how coveted HULA GIRL is,....I posted 1,162 comments to win her. That's 500 comments more than my nearest rival. She is thus famous, and my winning her much lauded and applauded.

[jamestchaney]

And I thought this was merely like a party line in far West Texas . . . Mabel, git off da phone . . . I gotta git a phone order in overtha Licker Store 'fore it closes . . . Dang it, Mabel, hang up NOW!!!!!! Only 3 on a line . . . U KNOW DAT, dangitalltahell

[Anna1755]

LOL!!!!!!!! It's a party line, all right, that goes all around the world. Now you know.

[jamestchaney]

Have u seen Prince of Tides?

Cuz sounds like . . .

My posts: Nick Nolte

Your posts: Babwa Striesand

[Anna1755]

LOL!!!!!!!!! Honesdagawd, you are funny!!!! And actually, not all of them know I was National Champion. But that's ok.

[jamestchaney]

I am thinking the host of a blog in here has somewhat of a wrestling advantage. I in trubbull if I let out u a wrestling champ of Canada?????

[Anna1755]

They have been apprised. See my "Tagged" vid, the featured one on my channel page.

[jamestchaney]

charming the way u exceed text limit ever 3 minutes in here.

[Anna1755]

That is to weed out the spammers and overly-hyper posting. It's not meant to carry on conversations as one would in a chat room.

[jamestchaney]

Oh. Well, what about hypomanic Austin Cowboys like Blaze and Townes and Jim? When shud dey log off? "What is our cue . . .?? We aint gotta clue . . ." hmmm- mebbe a song dere

[Anna1755]

Excellent question. Generally, one watches a vid, and leaves a comment. The person who made the vid acknowledges the comments.  Quite often, there is a rejoinder, several people will make remarks, jokes. We all know each other and enjoy the camaraderie. The discussion thread lasts a few posts and that's generally it, as new vids are constantly being posted.

[jamestchaney]

A video sewing bee circle.  A tite knit bunch. Well, I guess I dun flashed how much I know bout U-Tube. U shudda kicked me outta here 1st post, Hula toter. u off yer feed, sistuh.

[Anna1755]

Yes. Think I'll switch to some bran and molasses mash, with a side of alfalfa.

[jamestchaney]

Alfalfa goin' fer $14.50 a square bale here in Blanco. Try Coastal at $9.00. Gitterdun.

[jamestchaney]

Lay off the molasses mash - too much Naptha fer Al Gore.

[Anna1755]

LOL!!!!!!! You kill me, James T. Chaney!

[jamestchaney]

Excuse me. I apoligize. This is my very first time on Utube. Seriously. I know nuttin about it.

[Anna1755]

Lord hep us all!  Apology accepted.

[jamestchaney]

Are u shore u unnerstan' how rude Blaze cud be to strangers when he drunk, girlfren? (Like me!). But, he still a Drunk Angel - like dem gushy film folks say. But - he a lil like ol Jimbo.

[Anna1755]

It had occurred to me that, yes, he may have been difficult, even downright abrasive at times. His music absolves him at least to my mind. Sort of like your insane humour absolves you - most of the time.

[jamestchaney]

Dat only cuz u never heard me play my cowboy and reggae music!

[jamestchaney]

How did your drunken video of our lunch at SXSW last month earn 5 stars???? Who de judge?  Roy Bean???? Hula Gal??? She wuz drunkker dan u!

[Anna1755]

JIM T. CHANEY - that is slanderous and you know it! I was sober as all get out, so were you. If you continue - and I'm serious as a heart attack - I will block you from posting comments on here. I will thus ask you to behave, as none of my YouTube community is prepared for your special brand of insanity/hijinks/over-the-top shenanigans. I hope I've made myself crystal clear.

[jamestchaney]

Perdonome, chica. I will check my sense of humor at the door. I will be dull. No comedy. No sarcasm. Boy, that wud be TERRIBULL to get kicked off UTUBE! tee hee

[Anna1755]

Yo te perdonna per esta ves. One more such strike, and you are out like a candle in a hurricane.

[Whitelinefilms]

It was nice to see you make it "home" So many of the greatest artist never made it to the big stage like they should have. I think that in a way makes their music much more rooted!

[Anna1755]

So true. That's a huge part of what makes me cry every time I hear Blaze Foley's "Clay Pigeons". Many of his lyrics are abotu "I'm going to ...." , plans.....future tense....like he was walking on marbles. Some of us can keep our balance and keep going, some of us fall.

[jamestchaney]

I am trying to imagine what Blaze and Townes wudda made a u - iffen u had walked into Ginos in S. Austin while dey wuz a-pickin 15 yrs ago! They make fun a u bein' a Cajun, methinks!!!! :-)

[Anna1755]

100% 7th generation Acadian blood would have been a plus.  Only you would think to mock what intrigues you the most!

[aid2003]

great you both having fun..

[Anna1755]

Yep, off the charts!!  People seem to respond very well to Hula Girl. I'll get those New York vids of her up soon.

[ifonlypeopleknew]

LOL ! Thats Cute....

[Anna1755]

Thx! More vids in production....not to mention the New York adventure!

[Anna1755]

Hey BTJ, glad you liked it!

[cheeptorque]

sweet vid!

Hula sure looked like she was havin fun.

[Anna1755]

She was beside herself. Toooo much fun!! Wait - there's no such thing as "too much" fun!!`

[jamestchaney]

Dat not whatcha caterwauled to me, Cajun gal! U think I should work on "having more fun???" R U SURE????

[Anna1755]

Nothing wrong with having fun. Drawing all the attention to one's self so that a fully mic'd and amp'd band has to COMPETE with someone's antics is, well, maybe only fun for the sower of antics. It's fine if you're in a Shakespeare play and called "Puck". It you're at Jovita's and causing trouble, it's another word altogether.

[jamestchaney]

Hyperbole. Balderdash. I object.

[Anna1755]

Yes, you are sometimes the epitome of objectionable. Indeedy. And whenever you expostulate and ejaculate with the likes of "Balderdash".....THAT's when I know I'm bang-on.

[truckerflatlander]

great job! thx for coming and stopping by my beautiful state

[Anna1755]

You're most welcome. Yep, glad there's miles and miles of Texas. Got to have space to put all that heart and spirit!

Lock 'em horns, lol!!!

[Anna1755]

Cheers Flatlander! I'll SO be back there!!!!!!

[jamestchaney]

Please don't call people Flatlanders unless they are from Lubbock or Amarillo. You will confuse Joe Ely, Butch and Jimmie Dale Gilmore down here, sistuh!

[Anna1755]

Objection over-ruled. That is his name, and I do nothing if not address a Texan by the name he gives me.  He's from Midland. I gather it is relatively flat thereabouts.

[jamestchaney]

He gotta be a trucker. And, yes, it don't get any flatter dan Midland. Got family dere. Ok, u win, fer once. How u know truckers in Midland. oops. Withdraw question. don needa know dat. or wanna

[Anna1755]

Yes. He is, or will be in the near future. Fine young gentleman. I am inordinately proud to say that I know truckers in many places, and they happen to be among my favorite people. They, in turn, know me as a loyal, rather fierce supporter, and true friend.

[jamestchaney]

No one like trukkers mo dan me. I jus making an educated texican guess. And i wuz rite. only W. Texas trukkers tawk like dat. U doth protest too much, chica.

[Anna1755]

Just making sure. I rust my case.

[drivergeoff]

woot for the lone star!

[Anna1755]

Yep - I'm kinda trading in my Acadian star (we have a yellow on on the Acadian flag) for the Lone Star star. It's all good!!

[jamestchaney]

OMG. I am now posting on yer BLOG. Jeezus. Keep the yellow star so we can quarantine u a S. Austin ghetto for the musically insane. :-)

Yeah, it's me.  Jimbo.

[ZoeToots]

Anna!!! Most excellent! Whata adventure! I love how you did the tribute with Hula Girl. Good song too!!

[Anna1755]

HULA GIRL has been getting me into all kinds of fun situations. People in New York were like, "Is this one of those travelling videos?" and I'd say "Yes!" More vids on the way!

[ZoeToots]

Sweet! I am so happy you won her! You have taken her places I never could!

[jamestchaney]

Hula girl was appropriately dressed for Maria Corbalon's 5-star restaurant. Even Guy Forsyth was impressed. But, you video too danged much. But, at least u did not shoot me dancing to Guy! tee hee

[OneSillyTrucker]

Excellent job Anna, very nice...I like the SRV love

[ann440]

très belle musique ...bon pour les paroles je n'ai rien compris dommage !!! :)))

[Jepp300]

Good video

[jdawgsworld]

hey this song is cool...would love to hear the whole song though

[Anna1755]

Glad you like it. You are right....should have let it play to the very end. Try his MySpace page...they change the playlist from time to time, and you might be able to find it there.

[trikmitruk]

Very nice Anna,go Hula Girl.

[Anna1755]

Thank you Grant. There's some surprising stuff in production....

[HOOYANOE]

Now that's a great little film... Hula Girl adds surrealism... she's getting to be a celebrity... the music is perfect (particularly like 593Films comments, with the wall of fame). Really ENGAGING (to use a YouTubism) ***** (6 ain't an option)

[Anna1755]

Thx so much! Wish I had the mad skills of some of these truckers. Wish list: HD cam and Final Cut....til then, making do.

[593Films]

Totally cool! I have never been to the wall but I should go. The whole segment of panning up to the names along with THAT Townes song was brilliant!

[Anna1755]

Kinda figured you'd appreciate that....also the two people "sitting around" at the cafe....dude with the cowboy hat when the word "posse" comes in. That is some song! Kind of my motto: don't sit around, live big and go far.

[klasstruckit61]

RIP, stevie ray vaughan,, now there was talent,,

[Anna1755]

They put a statue of him by the Colorado River too, but I prefer the drawing on the side of the Continental Club, Gone too soon.

[Newfieguy89]

That was great Anna!!

[Anna1755]

Tanks!

[TRUCKERMcD]

That's a far cry from the "Ice Road" :)

[Anna1755]

There's an understatement!! Had my sights on it, and life got in the way - too much on my plate. By next winter though.....don't count me out yet!!!

[Anna1755]

Not yet - was there during SXSW for the world premier of the documentary film on Blaze Foley. Won't be for several months yet.

[rp1430]

did you move to Austin,TX ?
