| A Word from Josh: I think Rooters has figured something out. This the second consecutive time they've booked us to play coming off of a break of at least three weeks. The result both times was a pretty outstanding show. Sure, we may have missed a few more notes than usual but also had extra energy and extra spunk. The crowd responded in kind with a great performance of their own. During this latest time off I was fortunate to see a lot of other bands including (in alphabetical order) Bon Jovi, The Boogiemen, Dokken, The Goo Goo Dolls, The Heroes, The Metal Men and Road Trip. You know, over the years I've made a nice little career for myself as a member of some pretty good cover bands, and the one predominant skill I've gained from that experience is the skill of plagiarism. Yup, I'm all about assimilating ideas from others and I certainly got a lot of good ideas from all those fine bands. In fact, I think one of the reasons I hit the stage at Rooters with so much energy and good vibes was because of the inspiration I got from those other shows. Another reason I was in a good mood was because my birthday is in a couple of days and a lot of friends were helping me celebrate. Yet again, Maribeth came through big time with a delicious home made cherry cheesecake to mark the occasion. I also got cards and gifts from others including Lisa, Shannon, Suzy, Jenny, Erika, Lynn and Patty. When John announced my birthday on stage I assumed the position to receive the traditional Cherry Pie sticker-on-the-ass birthday treatment, but John declined to follow through with it. Fortunately, we found a couple of volunteers from the audience who were more than eager to do the job. Everybody was so great all night. I really appreciated the super vibes coming from people I was meeting for the first time as well as familiar Cherry Pie faithful including Julie & Stef, Julie & Carrie, Julie & Rachel (that's a lot of Julies), Cheryl, Dawn & Sam and Marlena & Linda. Tiffany and Dawn took the evening a step further by reserving part of the upper level to host their own private "80s Party". It was all part of a great night that will always be particularly memorable for me. John invited the crowd to come out to our show next week at Kelly's II adding that we could "tear the roof off" if we had the same kind of crowd as we did on this night. - Josh Were you at this show? Would you like to comment on it? B-MAN: "Good Show boys! It was great to see so many people so pumped up - banging heads, pumping fists, chanting CHER-RY PIE! Makes for a good time, doesn't it?" Angie: "All I have to say is Giddy Up Big Daddy! What a fun time! Haven't been out since before the Holiday's so this was a great stress reliever. I'll see you at Kelly's II next weekend!!" Teri: "The best band to dance too. You guys make me dance soooo Hot!" Bittersweeteus: "You guys really rocked! You were like live wires all over the stage. I guess that three weeks off did you some good. And by the way, Josh, happy birthday to you! And by the way, you really got into the groove of things when the girls were putting the cp bumperstickers on your butt!! Great show, again!" Jason and Kyle: "Awsome show guys!! I mean you had us all dancing and shaking our fists like it was 1985!!! Hey did you notice those two hotties bumping and grinding in the corner?!?! Someone get me their names cause my buddy and I wanna meet them!!" Julie: "Great show guys!! Glad I was there to help celebrate Josh's bday by personally putting the sticker on his ass...by the way nice ass Josh :)- See you guys at Kelly's!!" |
