Hi everyone. We had a great time at the A&M Roadhouse last Thursday night. It was such a blast rocking to an audience of Tripple alumni once more – we were all ferklempt! It looks like we’ll be playing there monthly (probably on a Thursday), so watch our website http://www.bassenettes.com for the next outing. Thanks to all of you for your support – we truly are nothing without you.
The Bassenettes
Well, the wait is finally over. The band returns to the Big Apple,
and we hope to see all you Tripple Inn refugees there. We really
like the vibe of this club – it has good food, a dart board,
convivial staff, seating and an overall Tripple–esque feeling. And,
like the Tripple, no cover. We won’t be able to play til a quarter
to three like we used to but Jerry the owner says if the crowd is big
enough, he’ll let us go to 1:30. See you all there. W,
When: Thursday, May 4 9pm – 1am
Where: A&M Roadhouse
57 Murray St.
New York, NY 10007
Directions: The club is 2 blocks south of Chambers and 1 block west
of Church. If you’re taking the subway, the A,C,1,2,& 3 all have
Chambers St. stops that put you within a block or two of the club.
If you’re driving, pick your poison – but the parking situation is
much easier than Midtown.
I have added an automatic mailing list option that will notify subscribers when the site is updated. By default I have added all of the current subscribers to the list. If you do not want to be included you can unsubscribe here.
Well, here is the start of the Gallery . It is on a different site so it is going to open in a new window. If you have any additions please send them to me.
It has been a while since most of us have gotten together and I think after the Passover\Easter holidays is as good a time as any. I guess we could try to all give our own suggestions on when and where using the comments section on this post. It may work for us or it may be a disaster but it will definitely be interesting to see what happens. So if you have a preference voice it here and maybe your wishes will come true.
I have been very busy with work and sailing so I have not been able to work on the photo gallery very much so I am going to put up a section for The T.R.I.P. on my personal gallery for now (link will follow when complete). Hopefully when I have more time I will be able to dedicate a gallery so that other people can post but getting some photos online is the most important thing for now.
A bunch of Refugees (plus some honored guests) are getting together this Wednesday evenening (Feb. 15th) starting between 5 and 6pm at The Barcelona Bar. It is located on the West side of 8th Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets. I don’t have emails for a bunch of people so please tell everyone that you know who holds the values of the Tripple close to their hearts to drop by for a drink or six.
Our lovely Jennifer (she is the one on the left 
) from the Tripple is now bartending at a pub called “Circus” on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I am not sure what time she starts so show up early and if she is not there yet gush to the working bartender about how wonderful she is. I have not been there yet but I hear good things. I encourage everyone to drop by, say hello and buy a bunch of drinks! It is located on 9th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Street.
I really want this to be a system where Tripple Refugees can post any news they want within reason. If you have any news, events or just want to try to get people together to hang out just send me an email and I will give you permission to post to the site. After your first post is approved you will be able to post whenever you want. The posts are moderated so they will not appear until they are approved. This means that if you want to let people know about something coming up please submit the post as far in advance as you can since I won’t be able to approve every post immediately. This is especially true for your first post since I have to enable your account for posts first.
Registered users have the ability to comment on posts. Comments are also moderated so they might take some time before they appear.
If you find that your posts or comments are taking a while please send me a message and give me a nudge to check it out. I will not be on this site constantly since I have other things to do. Once you have become a trusted user I can upgrade your account so that your posts do not need approval and they will show up immediately.
Well, we are back online with new software running the site. I have not gotten the look and feel completed yet so I am using a default theme. I wanted to get the site up and running as quickly as possible so I will be changing and adding things over the next several weeks. The new site does not have as many bells and whistles as the old one but it is easier to manage.
I was unable to move the user accounts over from the old system so everyone will have to register again. Sorry about that but since I don’t know your old passwords there was no way to set up an account without emailing each of you new passwords and that was too much work on my end.
The Photo Gallery is still under development. I am hoping that the issues I was having with the software running on the old site will not cause problems with the new software.
There may be some times when the site is unavailable because of development. I will try to give warning before this happens but I can’t guarantee it.
As always please feel free to share any comments and suggestions.
Thank you,
Andrew
