Well I'm off to the first scooter event in over 15 years! Hope it's all it's cracked up to be... give you a report either on Sunday when I get back, or Monday on Presiden'ts Day.

I think it will be fun to see people I have not seen in 15 to 27+ years--more if the really old fatrs show up from the '79 to '83 scene period--show up!

Big highlight will to meet up with BMG and her blazin' guns! [:D]

Keep on Scootin' [8D]

Nope, I'm the retard BMG! I didn't write your number down and take it with me--I'll just log-on to the Internet and get it while I'm there... doh! My cell wouldn't log-on to my e-mail account, the computer in the hotel lobby was down... and no one had a laptop (that I could find!)... Sorry BMG!

Rotator was at the event... We danced together at the Sat. night club shin-dig, and Fri./Sat. morning at 3 am he belted out a great Elvis tune and changed the words adding Vespa, Lambrettas, and scootering into a whole new verse, the guy can sing!

OK, some pics of the Vegas trip, too bad I didn't get a shot of Rotator; especially, when he was singing karaoke... [:p]


Drinking $1.00 pints of Microbrews at Ellis Island, the casino next to Super 8, with Robert of Section 7, I've got me Heifeweizen... [:D]

Yes, I met up with "rotator" (Mark) and was going to see "Birdmadgirl" (Lisa)--but I didn't bring her phone number with me, and has Inetrnet-less at the hotel (Super 8 - duh!).

And I did get to see Mark sing and we danced together (well in a group of people!) to Lionrock's "Rude Bot Rock!"

Sounds like good times, glok!
Now you'll have to make this an annual event



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

This is my favorite shot. You look completely absorbed in the redolence of your sweet intoxicating friend. Hurray beer. [8D]

^^^ Thanks, I think I was already 4 sheets to the wind by the time the shot was taken, yet not as drunk as when I was at The Jam concert... ^^^

On another note: Rotator, you took your photo down... Why? And di I not see a "Skeletons S.C." patch on your jacket? The Dancing Skeletons or is it the The Skeleton Crew? They were the first scooter club in California circa 1980 in San Diego???
