JUST TALKED TO DEEN AND ROSS!

by **Rip Rokken** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 2:09 pm

My pal RATGIRL is 2 for 2 on accomplishing Rip Rokken missions! First, she puts me on the phone with Don Dokken a few months ago, and tonight she puts me on the phone with none other than Ross Valory and Deen Castronovo! Had a short but nice conversation with Deen, and mentioned how much I regretted missing him in Vegas. He instantly remembered the P.F Changs get together with all the crew there, and was super cool! I think he said they'd just finished watching Slipknot tonight, and that they were unreal.

RATGIRL -- I owe ya TWO now! YOU ROCK!!!!!!! We simply must meet at a Queensryche show sometime and tear the place up!!!

LOL -- Dude, I'm gonna FIND some way to out you someday... My suspicions must be correct in that you were that sludgy, viscous trail seeping out of that overturned porta-potty in the parking lot at Superpages last Sunday. I shoulda known!!!! Too bad my attempts to get the ladies to investigate more closely were met with such resistance.

Ratgirl can confirm the story...

Good for you, Rip!!! Pretty funny that he remembered the Vegas get together at P.F. Changs......not that he could forget his mom being picked up and tossed around, though!!!

Texafana, just go away already. Please. :evil:

why would Rip make somthing up like that. Yes Rip is abit of a Dokken nut, but he doesn't lie about this type of stuff. I don't think any respected poster on this forum would make such a thing up.

Handing off a T to Arnel in front of the whole world... and now this.

But to be fair, I've never actually known of Texafana to LIE about anything, either... He's just be a general P.I.T.A. who is too good to greet his fellow MR brethren at shows. So trust me, I'm KICKING myself that I missed a call from Steve Perry! Next time at least leave me a "Voice"mail, my man!

LOL... I knew someone would ask, and here's the best I can tell you.... I think he was hanging out with a few fans, took the phone and spoke to me in a Bugs Bunny voice for a few seconds and then passed the phone to Deen... LOL! And "That's all, folks!"

I had a very BIZARRE day... went from feeling like a jackass and a simple shtick poster on MR who had a small handful of generous "enablers" like yourself and BJG who keep my short threads afloat to finding out that several people read and enjoy them, learning that Saint John and myself have been referred to as "famous" and the "Cuties of MR"... (faith20yrs, was that you?!?), having the ever-so-hot SacredEyes saying she felt "sticky" when I was singing along with Journey (though I haven't confirmed that was a compliment yet... haha!), getting over 100 separate requests for info on the shirt we gave to Arnel and how they can get one, and being welcomed with "Open Arms" over on Arnel's official website where both he and Neal apparently show up regularly. Top that off with a brief but very nice conversation with Deen, and that makes the whole banana split. No wait, the SUPREME cherry on top of the sundae -- learning I will be in Cleveland with all my best pals! ALL THIS IN ONE FREAKIN' DAY!!! And Behshad, really looking forward to meeting ya, bro! Proggie, too!!! Let's DOKK IT UP BIG TIME!

Andrew, hold my drink, bitch! LOL! j/k....

Awesome.

I am finally My last leg of this trip and Don is fired up and blastin in the Mimi mobile stereo. Thanks for the hookup rip.

Sorry to miss ya at the Dallas venue texafana. Lucky for you - the Mimi smack down (verbal)was inevitable. You'd have been Standin On The Outside waiting for the EMT

Well shit. It never occured to me to tell you "in case you ever speak to Deen, tell him I think he's a helluva drummer." Ok, so in case you ever speak to Deen again, tell him I think he's a helluva drummer. :lol:

That's awesome Rip!!

And for the record, I think you are one of the best posters here. I always enjoy your posts.

Hope to see you in Cleveland!!

My pleasure, and hopefully FU FU got a good shot of it, too! She has such a short time to prepare before her Dokken show, and I fear Don will sweep her off HER "last leg" if she's not fully prepared! The man's charm is infinite...

Seriously, and all teasing aside, I've made this offer to texafana several times and will continue to make it -- ANY venue we are both at, you are welcome to come by, be a regular guy and say hello, and we will have a great laugh over all this silliness -- NO awkward moments or animosity whatsoever. I would sincerely be excited to meet you. But if you want to limit your MR exposure strictly to trolling around in people's posts, dishing out left-handed compliments, and generally bringing the ants to everyone's picnic here, the beatdowns will continue... At this point, I'm still not convinced you aren't simply another manifestation of some crazy MR exile with multiple personalities (and screen names).

NOT COOL.

Rip is absolutely an honest guy and he does NOT make up bullshit. If he told me Steve Perry was indeed on line one, I'd know it was true.

You don't know him, so don't say shit like that.

I have confirmed since then that Steve Perry was actually on line 4, which doubles as our fax line, so I ignored it fearing getting a loud screeching in my ear. Now, if it were Mark Slaughter calling, I might not have noticed the difference... LOL!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if fax machines sounded like Perry when they are transmitting?
