Hey Hey Everyone!

Fini …. KOMEDA!!! GREAT BAND!

howdy! Man o man i got a new computer and set it up today and so I went to reboot and it installed 25 updates about ten minutes before I was supposed to post this. Sorry I’m late.

Oh dear, it’s cool though just nice to see you here…

Well, I had no idea Donita liked Komeda…that is so cool

Also - the Stellar Moments show in Cambridge MA sounded phenomenal, they were tight, perfect!

they about took my skull off the shoulder blades last night. I cant believe how tight they sound! And Dee and Donita were totally into it which got the guys into onstage with them…great stage chemistry.

No crap huh?!?!?! Talk about a great Performing Band! They truly were STELLAR. And though we had a crowd of <20, it was a VERY ENTHUSIASTIC <20.

find your nest of salt
everything’s your fault

:~)

Drinking with rock stars? - that’s a road to ruin, young man.

;>)

We had decent turnout, not great, but I’d say 40-50. They were mighty though, everybody was way into it, singing along, jammin, lots of air guitar in the crowd.

db! Pun! Yeah man, there was something called a carbomb, jamesons and bailey in a shot glass dropped into a glass of guiness and drank rapidly…not recommended for the non professional drinker. (Or in my case the retired pro.)

Yeah, it seemed like everyone knew the songs from this end too, which thrilled me. Also got to meet 2 “Roadies for the Day” which ruled. Donita called me her ‘mixmaster’ and made my heart melt. Lots of actual conversation between the audience and the band. and no better way to end the set than “Walking in LA” … Missing Persons are one of my FAVES

Hi everyone.

It’s a little hard to use a brand new computer and do this column when one has ingested some alcohol the night before with rock stars

Hi finifinito.

I envy you. I want to hang out with rock stars as well. …on second thought, I don’t really want to. I’d look nerdy next to them plus I’m known to be shy to an extend that makes everyone feel awkward.

But please share more of your impressions. Don’t let us ask for every detail.

Time for tonight’s first Youtube link

That version of Walking In LA was OFF.THE.HOOK!

O man, the whole evening rocked, her version of Headcheck live is amazing! And Curtains For Cathy was fantastic. She opened with Infancy of a Disaster which got the whole crowd revved up to the red line and kicked the set off right.

That’s a naughty path, a bad boy path to be walking.

Of course, having done much worse with rock stars (children - avert your eyes!), who am I to judge?

;>)

O man, the whole evening rocked

OK, now I envy you again. :)

and now for something completely different:

I hope this is no repost. (Could be I’ve seen it on another board)

Oh hell man, I thought you knew…I have not always been a meek and humble web servant for Donita, there are stories passed around to this day about my antics as a career drunk guy/DJ/Audio Tech. I still don’t remember August of 1995. There are people who won’t speak to me anymore.

Drive by! Tooo nice here below the the great lakes to miss weather like this.

Donitaday needs to go late nite!

I’m really glad you got to go and have a blast, fini!
Does the band have any Columbus OH roadies for a day lined up?

Nothing stopping people from continuing to post in this thread later tonight. Happens quite often actually if you go back and look at archives of the column.

Right on Fini fini!
I can’t freakin’ WAIT till Donita hits town again!

They’re already out of Ohio I think now, and I cant say Columbus was on this leg of the tour…I understand they’re trying to figure out where all to hit in the fall, they might come there then.

‘After all these years, I don’t need glasses - still straight from the bottle’

;>)

Having said that, I love Columbus and may come see her there if she ever plays there. Cross your fingers!

I’m mostly straight these days, but special occasions bring me out of retirement. Donita playing in my town counts as special in my book. There was something else that Dee counseled against my drinking but it got drank anyway called a Tuckawee or somethingorother. All I know is you could run go carts with it and it makes you distort your face and shout TUCK! Ahhhh Weeeeee! when you drink it.

Rockers cautioning a young man regarding mixed drinks - Good lord, the state of music these days, not like my time by cracky.

;>)

Ah. The Everclear Special? lol

Oh dear. That doesn’t sound healthy. Please tell me you didn’t drink to the point where you acted embarrassing.

no no no, no embarrassment, I was in full control of my faculties, though the grip was tenuous at times.

Good to hear. …ehm …did Dee give advice on other topics as well? (I’m just asking because the discussion is kinda slow today)

I was in full control of my faculties

thank gawd for tenure

Rector merely wobbly?

;>)

Alan the Italian the guitar player for Donita sand Happy Birthday in Italian to my niece Lilah on camera for her first birthday next week. He’s a great guy and a great guitar player.

I was awed by his guitar….
