I'll start... not sure who this guy is, but he looked semi-important. I think he was South African from his accent.

Believe it or not, StocktontoMalone and I appear to have more in common than just our mutual love for Dokken and Michael Eden. When he mentioned making a run to Walgreens for some silver Sharpies, I had a fleeting thought that we might have been separated at birth. Walgreen's runs for silver Sharpies is a steadfast Rokken tradition on any trip.

We all made him put the Crystal Light in there on purpose

Shocking to see you in a black leather jacket. Are you married to that thing or what?

The Rock Sugar dude has white chicletts.

That has become Mel's trademark. I authorize her to wear it, even though if it would happen to be 95 degrees out, sweatin at every crack possible.

Thanks for the pics, Rip. It's great to see everyone getting together and having a good time. Those of us who couldn't go appreciate the updates and stories.

Why, that's none other than Michael Eden himself! I think you two should do a duet on the next Trag album!

Wish you both were here! I'm pretty worn out and called it an early night while the youthful MR folk (everyone else) parties onward.

Okay this is what I mean about your posts, what a stupid comment on a great/fun thread. This thread was started so they could post pictures.

By the way, great pictures and it looks like everyone is having a great time

[chynablue]

I posted some pics on my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/rockkeyboards that you can check out. What a great night! My only regret was publicly tearing into St. John...I'm sorry dude, I was a bit wound up & seeing you kinda set it off. It was very uncool, you seem like a nice guy & to the whole group I just want to apologize. Come over today and let me buy you a beer.

You're welcome! We're all having a blast! It's funny, last night we were sitting in Bennigan's laughing at how many times at these things a person can be exhausted, on their way to their room to call it an evening, then the next thing you know you run into someone else at the last minute and end up staying out until all hours anyway. I have a feeling that's gonna happen every night here for me.

Glad you like the thread, and it will get a whole lot better once the others have a chance to post their pics. I'm just a rock geek who stalks everybody with a camera and a crapload of things to get signed, so I don't think about how many photos I worm into until I start trying to pick some to post, lol. I should be embarrassed, but dangit I can't afford to have shame if I want to end up with these kinds of memories to look back on.

Watching everyone else having such a good time is awesome, and especially seeing all the love for the bands, music, and especially Andrew and MelodicRock.com! He's been very popular and he's working his tail off making this special. It's a great deal of fun just watching him do his thing and see all the appreciation he gets for it.

Whatever happened to having a sense of humor?

I don't think you have seen my Facebook page - I have a TON of concert/sports pictures.

I'm a rock geek too that stalks everyone with a camera - LOL At concerts I usually take anywhere from 200-400 pictures and add about 50+ more of friends/fans backstage.

Just like you, I love all the memories of the great times to look back on. Don't ever be embarrassed!! Again, thanks for sharing. I wish I could've made it down there. There's a 20% chance that I might make it tomorrow.

The prerequisite to a sense of humor is that something has to be funny first
