Day started with me setting off the fire alarm in our Manchester Hotel by spraying too much of Mimi's industrial strength hairspray; seriously, this happened, Deb's got it on video. Train to Nottingham was quite the adventure with 3 changes in a two hour journey, but we made it.

Hotel is literally around the corner from the Firefest venue & the place is littered w/ rock stars ... and Wombats, radio personalities, and assorted Journey/JSS/SA fans from both boards. Dinner w/ Pam, Pam, Maria, & Sandy, and then off to the meet & greet that was held at The Rig, a club next to Rock City, which is the main Firefest venue. Got the t-shirs and programs, listened to Drew's new duo Beggars & Thieves (who sounded really good), spotted Danny Vaughn & some of the Danger Danger guys, fought the crowd for a while, and that was it for me; jet lag has caught up.

Thanks, Matt, for the time change info.; that was helpful.

A couple of pics below; I'm sure Drew and some of the others have more to add ...

You both look gorgeous. Glad to hear you're having a great time. LOL about Deb, she's like an energizer bunny....just keeps going. :lol:

Talon started it off with bang singing songs from their new album "Fallen Angels".

Loud and Clear is the surprise talent for me. We had an acoustic teaser at the meet and greet last night and vowed to not miss that show today. Wow. Jess Harnell is a consumate performer and entertainer with a voice that won't quit. Wow

We went to lunch and walked in on a huge ovation for Paul Laine. Maybe we shouldn't have skipped that. Matt will gave to help us with that one.

Hugo and valentine had the whole house singing every word! Amazing.

JSS. Omgosh. Rocked the SCHUTT outta the place. Setlist? Heck no! Songs 1st time live were Mountain, testify and Our Song.

Setlist provided by Gary--thanks!!!!!

How old is Steve Augeri? He really looks great. None of the Journey lead singers, current or past, look their age. Unbelievable.

JSS's setlist looks great. I would love to hear Broken Man and Gin and Tonic Sky live.

No way... he looks great for his age.

...You and Deb look fab! Enjoy the show & save travels home m'dear.

by **Andrew** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 8:59 pm

I've had a drink and a couple of conversations with SA and will meet with him and Jack Morer again shortly. The man (as well all know) is an absolute gentleman. All class.

Hugo's cold got the better of him, but he did ok and JSS literally tore the place up. He owned that place yesterday. 1200 in attendence.

More later...gotta go do my thing...
