Yeah Tavo...seriously!!!! I get my US money tomorrow, will have accommodation done by the end of the week and then hope and pray we can get tickets for the show on Nov 6 when they're released. I'm not the party animal like Pete is, actually, no way near it lol!!! But I can sink a few JD and drys before my words get slurred. I'd be great to catch up :-)

We are of the "all things in moderation" ilk when we go out, too many variables outside of the home for irresponsibility at age 45 and I have been known to be irresponsible more than once. I mean even just last night I ran screaming down the halls of an all girl University not realizing it was an all girl University. I was being chased by members of a certain rockabilly band. ...but thats another story for another time.

Well I'm lookin forward to ya comin to America! We'll keep the light on.

Hahaha, that paints quite the amusing picture in my mind!!!! I better not tell the pilot about the light, they may try to land on your roof and it would be too late for it to be Santa, lol

Hmmmm....there's something on there about a private suite/box booking for 12 or more people. I wonder if we'd have enough folks to go in on a HDVDL suite for the show? Might be worth looking into.

I thought about that but they're all to the sides of the stage if you look at the seating chart Has anyone seen a show there?

We should definitely all try to work together, whether it's on rooms or tickets or both - I reckon we'll have quite the contingent at the show!! And yeah I agree with Tavo, I dunno about ya'll, but I wanna be front and center at the show... as usual

HRG, are you planning on attending??

I definitely want to get into the Orchestra area, as close as possible!!!! That'd be brilliant to have us all in the same area, man I am so looking forward to this!!!!!

I wonder if there's going to be any pre-sale tickets? Wish Brian would be doing a meet and greet, I'd be up for that!!!

Hmm, I seem to have a few friends who like being a bastard

Now a shout out would be incredibly cool and of course well deserved, lol. Geez I'll be happy just being there and catching up with parts of the HDVDL family, everything after that is a bonus

I would LOVE to attend...but it all depends on the cash flow come ticket time. Airplane tix, concert tix, hotel stay, unfortunately it all adds up a little too quickly. But man, if we can swing it...

I'd be there in a heartbeat.

There is something magical about meeting someone without paying for it.

As long as you can talk and not say something goofy like..."I've been a fan since 6th grade!" Doh!

I have a guitar pick, a signed cd, and memories of a great night out with my husband that I will never, ever part with.

All's well that ends well,

yes.. especially when that someone you want to meet, is not obligated to smile and be courteous to you because you paid them too.

There is already an age old profession for such things.

Plus who says the artist needs to be nice to you and pretend they even want to stand next to you?


I got to meet Chad from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in a back row of the NAMM show, He was walkin one way and I the other.. I said I worshipped the Chili peppers music and because of them I know and love hendrix as well as have a deep appreciation for funk.
He shook my hand and shy like said" hey thanks".
That was it..

It ruled.

When I lived in Temecula, it was always rumored that "celebs" had ranches in the vineyards. Well one day I was walkin into my Starbucks and Phil Collen from
Def Leopard was sittin there with his girlfriend (all the stupid yuppies had no clue)
I walked up and said "Excuse me, Phil can I shake your hand... I still have my
Pyromania LP!!" He smiled and said" nice to meet you". His girlfriend was perturbed
but he was cordial.

it ruled!!

One night I was walking down sunset blvd past the comedy club when I heard feet suddenly shuffle behind me and a big black man slammed into my side. It was
Stevie Wonder being led by his chauffeur to an old school Rolls Royce parked on the street.. He said "oh" and I said "sorry"...

It ruled!!!!!

I didnt pay, they had no obligation. all magic moments

Some day I will run in Brian Setzer if the fates allow!

My fave magical moment:

Seeing "STRAY 48" parked on Sunset Blvd one afternoon in front of a tattoo parlor, B inside having something inked on his leg. Minutes earlier I had just picked up Stray 1 (Japanese import of their first Arista album) which had just come out on cd for the first time (it was 1990). I went inside and showed it to B and his eyes went wide, he was amazed to see the album on cd for the first time and proudly showed it to everyone around us. I remember his excitement as he slowly flipped through the pages of the cd booklet, and we ended up chatting for awhile, everything from the Paine Bros. to even his haircut on the Rock Tokyo video. There's more to the story, but I'll leave it at that.................

It ruled!

Hahahah, I know that story Scatman! I remember our friend David from Madrid telling me something about it. How cool anyway!!
