eta: Mrs. Gonzo is driving tomorrow night, which is rare. I need to "get my game on" for my eleventh Todd Rundgren show

So that's what you kids are calling it these days

Mornin' Lodge!

I have an afternoon meeting starting at 1. I hope it doesn't go all the way until 5, but it probably will.

Hopefully you don't have 45 minutes of people asking questions at the end. I hate that.

I'll be downtown tomorrow night for a concert at the State Theater. We may try to squeeze into the Rock Bottom before the show. If nothing else, we can go upstairs to the Palomino for some refreshing pre-show beverages.

I will be in meetings from 8 - 5 the next three days. I am not sure what we will be doing after 5 each day but I do know that Crown will be involved.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be the sharp dressed man wearing pin stripes.

And a stars and stripes speedo?

That depends, do you call finding out at 9:30 in the A.M. that you need to do a 4 page ad by the end of the day and you still don't all of the pictures for it, getting off to a good start. If so mine is off to a thrilling start.

I didn't know that you were a Yankee fan. Good choice.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

stayed late at work to talk to my boss and the division chief... wanted to stop by after dealing with HR all day long... for that brown-nosing I got my first true taste of the "Orange Crush"... oof. Must leave work at a normal time in the future.

edit: but the first day of work went fairly well seeing as it involved nothing but wall-to-wall HR.

so, what's your first planned act of tenure... might I suggest a little self-manuring of the school president's lawn?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Who is he?

Well, pull up a chair and let me tell you about "70's" music.

There are a few "older" posters in here, so I'll throw out a few more names that some of you whippersnappers may not recognize, but should listen to if time permits. (I've seen them all live)

Yes
Jethro Tull
Wishbone Ash
The Tubes
Nectar
Montrose
Chick Corea
Mahavishnu Orchestra

There's more to "classic rock" than:
Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
The Who
The Kinks
The Animals
Grateful Dead
Lynyrd Skynyrd
ELO
etc.
^ Saw all of them live too

Todd has been a favorite of mine for many years. I first saw him in 1975 on his "Another Live" tour with his band at the time, Utopia. The show tomorrow night is one of seven or so he's doing in the states. He actually reunited Utopia, and the first 35 minutes of the show is a return to his hits. After an intermission, Todd and Co. will perform his album A Wizard A True Star in it's entirety. It's a complete retro show, with the original outfits they used to wear and all the campiness that goes with a '70's rock show. Naturally I won't be under the influence of the same substances that fueled my vigor in the '70's, but a couple of martini's and some, well, other stuff and it's best if I have a driver.

I realize you were probably being facetious, but as you can see, I'm pretty passionate about some of the old stuff I grew up on.
