not sure yet Frank - I just moved to a new home and started a new job about 2 weeks after I moved. I'm really swamped with a backlog of website and photo work, and I'm trying to catch up. So I won't know for about another week if I can get out of here for some Florida sunshine.... I really would like to go.

Kat - good luck with the relocation and new job!

If i can get some good pics, i will be happy to email them to you.

Have a great day.

Frank

Wow, Blair Mansion, I remember the Mansion! I remember doin' wedding receptions there back in the 80's! Congrats to the G's on the Mansion. I need to make plans to check out my old neighborhood again! As a matter of fact, I'm plannin' on checkin' out Billy Cobham's Spectrum at Blues Alley I think Nov, so I'll get to check the Mansion out while I'm there. I figure and hope that AA will be back in Jacksonville again, and hopefully this time, I will not have two rehearsals that evening, and I can hang and check the show and holla at the boys.

Thanks Frank!

I will PM you to let you know if I am going to make it.

I'm glad you brought up the topic of pictures... Stewart and I were recently discussing 2008 ideas for the website and MySpace.

We think we have quite an archive now of stage shots from various places, and that what we'd really like are more candids of the guys or perhaps photos of them anywhere else but under red lights!

While we appreciate all of the photos, we just would like things to look fresh - especially since many of the venues are regular stops on the tour.

So if you manage to get a few shots outdoors, it would be nice to see the guys at the meet and greet or wandering about before or after the show. Or even a photo of you with the guys....

Hey Kat. I was wonderin' if you could make a stop in J-ville when the boys come to town, and, I hope everthing goes well with your new location. If you can, let them know that they're in my top 40 friends space as a matter of fact.

Bruce,

I don't know about Jacksonville this year, haven't seen it on the tour schedule....

Thanks for the good wishes... and I'm sure the guys know about your MySpace. From your other posts, it seems like you have a busy schedule coming up! Take care of yourself.

I think many of us have looked at next year's cruise and tried to do the math to figure out if we could make the $$ work. Well... check out the package that's been put together for AA fans, my eyes popped open! $999 per person and you can make your reservation and pay for it in monthly chunks... makes it a little easier on the wallet.

(and yes, this was on my list of work to get done this week.... have to be away for business again for a couple of days! )

Now I have to convince Lauri to be my roomie...

Some June dates just added....

Miss Kat-

I would love to be your smooth cruise roomie-any chance this is one of those disney cruises where Mickey Mouse would keep my little criminals busy while I enjoy the music?

BTW-to all you boarders-a long overdue hello to this former Floridian now residing in Southern Miss!

Lauri ... (America's Sweetheart returns to the board...)

No Mickey Mouse ears for this cruise! We're due for a road trip.... we haven't been on one in a long time.

However, there will be no Dairy Queen root beer floats on the cruise. We may have to go to California or Texas.
