Hey Dave,
Let us know if you decide on the Texas shows.  Ken and I will be flying into Dallas.  We'll be spending a couple days there, then down to Stafford/Houston for a day, then to Austin for a couple of days, than back to Dallas to fly home. (3 Joe shows in 3 days.  It doesn't get much better than that.) It would be really cool to hook up with you.  We missed you last year in California.  We met JDawg in San Luis Obispo but I think he told us you chose the San Juan Capistrano show instead of SLO. hmm

Hope to see you in Texas.  I think David A. is also going.  It's really fun meeting fellow street teamers at these shows.  It will also be our first time seeing Back Door Slam.  It's three  months away and we're already getting excited.

Susan smile

Oh, My vote is FLY TO TEXAS!!!  lol

Waiting to hear from my Bro, then it's GO!!!.....think I'll bring his twin sister from Ft. Worth, I sent her a Joe package last year, her husband (plays the gitfiddle) had his doors blown away!!...definetly will hook up with ya when it all goes down

Dave and family smile

Re: Where would you fly to?

Shred. I know it is a Thursday but you ought to come into OK City then drive down I-35 stopping in Ardmore to say hi to Aubry "Two Frogs" Harris and have some scooty fries. It is worth the stop and Aubry is a big fan of Joe's.

Re: Where would you fly to?

Jim and Phil,

Ken and I are looking forward to meeting both of you so we can tell you in person how much we appreciate what you do for us here on this forum.

This trip just gets better and better.  See you all in Texas.

Susan smile 

P.S.  Have fun in OKC too.

If I had two grand I'd be coming to your backyard to visit my family. Roseville and Yuba City. But if one must get out on the road I think your idea of DFW is right on! BDS and JB is gonna be a way cool gig. You'll kick yourself if you miss it!

Paradise is right up the road, ain't it!?! Love it up there.

It's a long story. Family history I won't go into here. BTW what union/local? My brother works as an officer for the laborers union there in Sac/Roseville. If thats your union email me please.

Maybe I need to pull the proverbial rabbit out of my hat and make a trip. I know my wife won't mind as long as we can afford it. And I have loads of friends in Fort Worth. But if I get that far west I gotta go to Yuba too or my Ma will be heart broken.

Re: Where would you fly to?

Correction, I done messed up, it rolls like this

Sep 26th.....Joe and BDS
Sept. 27th...Lance lopez... OR...BDS at ASL (afteroon)L...then at Antones in the evening"
Sept. 28th....Joe at ASL

If anyone else wants to go in my vehicle, I'll rent a van, we got 4 spots reserved in a sedan, so a van with more than 4 makes sense....we might have to put Roy in the very back so he can wave at all the cars behind us...wait a minute, I dont want to get pulled over, I'm keeping that dude right next to me so I can keep an eye on him wink

Anyone else?...Andy?...email me...and for the record, I dont want to go to jail in Texas, if you all get my drift smile

Dave,

That's fine, but don't you dare try to put your arm around me in the car! I saw the way you were looking at me at the San Juan show. Besides, Phil will get mad!! lol

Hey, Jacque is suppose to call me at work today. I'll run some information past her.

Jail? Now why would my name come up in the same sentence as jail? hmmmm....wonder what I could have said that led you to that thought. Nope not me. I'm too much of a freebird to have my wings clipped to be locked up.

I'm working on the financial aspect of it. Give me until the end of this week for a definate.

Re: Where would you fly to?

I was talking with my wife last night about making this trip. She's not once to mince words and she quickly spoke up and asked me what I want to do, go on the trip or buy a JB Les Paul? I hate it when she's so sensible.

decisions, decisions.............

I'm headed outside to scream to the tone gods.
