Re: Reading 3-23

If possible, I'd like to add one more, my husband Anthony.  After hearing Dust Bowl, he reorganized his schedule and got a ticket in the balcony.

I didn't know whether to take the liberty and call in the reservation for one more or not, so just give me a heads up.  Thanks again for your efforts.

OK, so I have the following headcount:

Hombre - 6
Paul - 2
Vik - 1
Forever Young - 2
Cathy/Ang/Jane - 3
Moi - 2
Total - 16

I will make reservations and post details later today or tomorrow. 5:30 chow time (M&G is at 4:30 for those that got lucky big_smile ). That gives us 2 hours for chow/drinks/chat and leisurely stroll to the venue @7:30. I will include parking details for those interested.

***Please try to get there by 5:30 so the restaurant does not throw a fit about people not showing up... big_smile

Re: Reading 3-23

Ok, got the babysitters arranged, studied the maps, and am ready to go! Dang it, now I gotta wait a couple of days...  tongue

I'll repeat Manoj's point about it *NOT* being the big "Sovereign Center" in the maps, but rather the Sovereign Performing Arts Center - the small gray box in the center top of the map with the completely unclear label.  roll This was kinda confusing...

And thanks to a super-awesome Bonafan - and I'm not referring to myself  lol - MEET AND GREET HERE I COME!!! I feel silly with excitement, I don't usually get this way as I am not a 16-year-old girl. (No offense to any 16-year-old girls reading this.)

Re: Reading 3-23

Getting stoked for the show myself! Unfortunately, I'm so busy at work that I doubt I will be able to get there early. Who knows, maybe if I bust my a$$ & sweet talk the boss, I'll be able to leave early! Congrats to those who got hooked up with a meet & greet. One of these days I'll work on getting invited to one of those. I'll try my luck at scoping out the bus after the show. Looking forward to hearing some of the new stuff live! Everybody have fun & maybe I'll bump in to some of you!  cool  big_smile

Re: Reading 3-23

Can someone please be sure to take lots of photos at the pre-show?  tongue

I would particularly like to see Angela, as I was so looking forward to finally meeting my Bonnie sista, but now can't!   sad

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Angela! I put your pic on a photo hosting site, thereby turning it into a link. Just so y'all don't miss her today, here she is (with another guitarist of some note.)  wink

Just try not to drool.....  wink

If you hang near Cathy after 4:30 (if you're not just busy trying to think of things to say to the WGGP, whom you haven't even heard live yet  big_smile  ), we might have an opportunity to say hi.

Re: Reading 3-23

Hi George,

I'm hi-fiving your techy skills!!  wink I mentioned before you were posting here....my teens told me I was rude to wear a Joe shirt to a KWS concert. They keep me laughing big_smile  and my defense... that was the first time I saw Kenny and I didn't own a KWS shirt and didn't know I was getting backstage.

C'mon, Rick...with the M&G, dinner with the diehards, pit photopass, decent seats, and the show, I may not even need a designated driver...perhaps will 'catapult' directly home as I get ejected into deep orbit after the encore...and yes I am taking a 'change' of clothes a.k.a Dust Bowl 'T' once I hit the venue lol

My boss has seen absolutely no productivity from me at the office today.... wink
