Journey to the Cure Gala, Steve Augeri and Journey

[Maui Tom]

I wish they did this more than once a year. What a fantastic time. Can't wait till next year.

you didn't do something to get yourself banned next year did you?

Aside from drinking about $500 worth of booze I don't think so!

cool...good job by you...

Hope to see you there next year! Bring Sir WIX-alot, too.

I shoulda been at both of these...petty stuff paralyzes me and I bail....one of my many character flaws...maybe my worst...

[Frank Martinez]

Wow you both look fantastic,HUBBA<HUBBA!!!

[Saint John]

Rip and SA ... notice the 70 things he brought to have signed on the table at right

And that may be underestimating! The collection of things Rip brought to have signed would have made Tito blush! I'm laughing just thinking about it.

36, 35, 34 .....

That was soooo funny! Augeri is sitting at home with carpal tunnel right now.

[faith20yrs]

What a fun night. Just a great cause run by some extremely nice people. Last thing I remember was sauntering through the lobby at 3:?? am and seeing Steve and Lydia Augeri chilling on the couch talking to some fans. I have to say that this Nick Lynch kid that performed last night was absolutely amazing. Steve Augeri is an incredibly classy guy and so is his wife.

People that are on the fence about this event really need to step up to the plate and make one of these functions. $125 is an extremely small price to pay for a great cause, some amazing sets of music, a frickin' 7 course meal which included monstrous shrimp and filet mignon, and open bar with top shelf liquor for FIVE hours.

I'd hate to say I told you so..... Glad you made it! It was WONDERFUL seeing you all again! Big hugs to everyone!

[Lula]

[Frank Martinez]

Frank, this event has you written all over it. Would love to see you there next year, bro.

Dan,I was thinking the same thing!
I will try to make it next year,I will even wear a Tux!
I am hopeing on Getting Mr Augeri to California for a JTTC avent,I am thinking a Tie Dye ball.
I can sell the shirts and donate the cash for the Cause.
All the gals with Pink Tie Dye garments and the Dudes with Pink and Blue would work.
I am expecting to hear Back from Steve Augeri and Dr Val this week.
Steve really showed intrest on doing this.
It would be like a West coast Tie Dye Ball but a concert scene with 4 band's!
Maybe Journey to the cure Gator Bash!

There could be a Formal East Coast Sparkle Tie Ball and a West Coast Tie Dye ball!
We need a Journey to the cure avent in California,this could be a huge sucess.
I would also get the Miles Schon Band to play!
Also working on the Gregg Rolie band for this if it happen's.
Question,who would attend if this were to happen?
I am working on the historical Fox Theatre in Redwood City California,with a 1,800 person Capasity!

[faith20yrs]

EVERYBODY looked fantastic...

True story...do you know that I can NOT tie a TIE? Never have been able to....

No excuse! I'll tie your tie for you next year!!!!! I didn't even concert call you because I was so sad you were not there dancing with me like you promised! ... or maybe it was because you never answer your phone, and never call back... so we didn't know if it was the right time

[faith20yrs]

Steve looks good. He either has had a lot of sun or he's blushing.

LOL, you all are so funny! There were only 5 things, and half were for friends who couldn't make it. (2) 8x10's, (1) Tall Stories CD, and (2) copies of Generations. Oh, wait... My set list, too!

On the video issue, I got a bit confused. Last year there was none permitted, but this year I understood we were looking to have some done. I didn't realize Matt couldn't make it until the day of (and missed ya bro!), so with him and Marty both out, I sort of filled in as a makeshift photographer using Lori's Nikon. Saw a couple of people taking vids of songs and thought to grab an excellent chunk of "Kiss Me Softly" from the guitar solo to the end, and the entire "DSB" singalong for Lori. I'm going to send them to Val to see if they are anything they could use; otherwise, they'll never be seen online.

Anyway, had a total blast helping with and enjoying the event, and once I get back home in front of a real PC, I'll further debunk the carpal tunnel myths.

One quick thing I enjoyed - seeing Dan sitting on the edge of the stage watching Steve, and asking him
if he was having a good time. He said something like, "When do we EVER get to do something like this?"

Also his reaction to finding out there had been a mixup and he'd actually won that autographed copy of Escape! I believe Faith20yrs donated that item, and I've never seen one so beautifully signed by all 5 members before. It's a real treasure!

[Rick]

This is as good as I could do.

[Don]

Lets give them Blue eyes instead of Red eyes.

ha! I just got home from moving my oldest into colledge out of state! I am a mess and have been crying my eyes out all day long. But Tom it was pretty petty to flip a coin as to whether you should go or not!

Hugs, Wixie, and one for Gina too ... I can really relate ... leaving them behind, coming home to the empty bedroom ... Just packed my youngest off for a master's program in Boulder this past weekend; he'd been around here for undergrad & now he's really gone. Sigh.

Thanks for all the kind comments on our party pics everyone; makes the fun last longer when it's shared.

[Melissa]

This is as good as I could do.

That is neat Rick! I love Debbie's dress!! (I know I said that before, just had to again )
