One of the many reasons it's ALWAYS cool hanging out with Crazy Deb & Dr. FU!

APR.com moderator reunion! First time all together since Memphis, 2009.

I felt very underdressed, lol!

Always fun to make new friends

With some of the MR.com VIP's!

About 2 minutes after the show.

Why thank ya! When someone throws a mop and a bucket at ya, we really don't have much choice. Good ol' Cabo Wabo Cantina, passing out the free TQ shots, lol! J/K -- it was all pretty tame this week. But Sammy's spicy shrimp tacos can't be beat!

Normally I try, but I hate leaving one out of a small group shot if I don't remember someone's name, though. I guess I could always ask.

FYI, that is Ron Mancuso and Louie Merlino of Beggars and Thieves. We got a tour of the studio AND a 2 song preview of the new cd (slated to be out soon). Louie played it straight out of the mixing board (computer) thingy. This was the best overall band performance at Firefest 2010. Soulful rocky excellent.

Thx for snapping that Rip!! wow--that was just the coolest few minutes, eh?

After you have seen all the new Journey schutt, check them out. (shameless plug over now)(and yes I like this band alot)

Double-plugged!

It was awesome, as were the new songs. Blew me away that they did that for us. Dana Strum from Slaughter shares the studio with them, and there were some Slaughter cabinets there, too. It was one of the coolest, most laid back studios I've ever seen, and I was really impressed. Plus, Louie and Ron were the nicest guys you could meet. Quite humorous, too! Oh, yeah... Ron mentioned that Jake E. Lee had just been around the day before. SWEET!!!!

Love the new songs, guys! We'll be among the first to buy when it's ready.

You were missed man, especially when Dave Perry showed up!

I actually never saw him, and wasn't clear if it was a full manifestation or just partial -- Maui Tom may have just been hallucinating... lol!

Oh, Slimey Dave was quite real ... among other things, he asked MT if Tom would hook him up with one of his "daughters" ... that would be Crazy Deb and me .... [insert evil laugh here]

by **StevePerryHair** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 9:53 am

Yes, Dave "Perry" .... someone we all meet in Vegas around a Journey concert :shock:

I think I've posted this before, but it's Travis with DP. The guy wouldn't leave me alone, and he kept carrying that video camera, trying to interview people. I kept refusing :lol:

Did he have his video camera this time? I'd love to know what he does with all that footage.....actually, it may be better NOT to know! :shock:

He had "business cards" he was passing out too. I can't remember what they said though. 2008 was forever ago now! :lol:

Oh flashbacks!! :lol:

NOW I remember him showing me a video clip of him singing too... I wonder what Travis remembers! :lol:

We figured most of what he told us was BS. He was making a documentary...... right? :lol:

by **MCC620** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 10:49 am

I remember his replica yellow and black shirt, and he explained to me that it had been designed to match exactly the same shirt SP wore :lol:

I miss the Heart Bar!
