Well, what a night!! After a few bumps in the road, our karaoke contest got underway and was a smashing success!! Congratulations to Sully, our Grand Prize winner!!! We had some very talented and enthusiastic contestants, and the crowd at Broadway Louie's loved it!! Thank you to all who participated. Thank you also to Broadway Louie's for having us, and especially to Broadway Jake who helped us scramble together and make it all work. And of course to the House of Blues, and our "celebrity" judges Patti Travasos and Tattoo Slover. We had a lot of fun, and I'll have pictures posted soon. Looking forward to the Poison/Cinderella concert tomorrow night at the House of Blues. We'll see all you crazy 80s metal headbangers there!!! ROCK ON!! --Amy & Amy

It has taken Amy C. & I a couple days to "recover" from the weekend, so this post is a few days after the fact. On August 5, 2006 we hosted our third in store autograph signing with Faster Pussycat and Bang Tango. As some may know, Steven Adler was supposed to be there, unfortunately, he was" indisposed" for both the in store & the show that night. (If you want more info on that, just go to Metal Sludge). Tamie Downe & the boys from Faster Pussycat & Joe Leste and the boys from Bang Tango more the made up for the missing Steven. Everyone got autographs and pictures, we got lots and will put them on the website as soon as possible. A lot of shopping got done, guess the guys needed some new shirts for the road!!! Now comes my favorite part of the day. Amy & I were lucky enough to have dinner with Joe, Lance, Timmy and Jordan from Bang Tango & Chad & Danny from Faster Pussycat. David, Stephanie and Jaime from the store came along too. The drinks were flowing and great fun was had by all!!! On to the show- our buddy Jamie had the PA hooked up and we were ready to rock. The show started a little late, but it was worth the wait. BANG TANGO KICKS ASS. Joe Leste was awesome (and HOT!!!). He can rock the house. I was so impressed. And not just because he wore a RETRO ACTIVE T-shirt for the whole set. One final time, we LOVE Bang Tango. Can't wait to get the new CD. As not to disappoint, a Guns & Roses set was performed, as Radlers Appetite. TOO funny. Faster Pussycat was next. The fans were happy. I heard all my favorite Pussycat songs. The new stuff wasn't bad either. I still need to check out the new CD all the way thru. After the show, we continued to party with and like rock stars. On to the the strip club!!! Sunday morning came way too early. By mid afternoon, a few of the guys were on their way over for a little BBQ at our house. We had a very enjoyable afternoon with Chad, Danny, Sean and Chip Z'nuff from ENUFFS Z'NUFF. Chad and Sean are the karaoke kings!! Anyway. We had so much fun with everybody over the weekend. We made some great new friends. Come and check out Chad & Seans other project, STIMULATOR and Danny and Chad's side band MOTOCHRIST. We have CD's for both at the store. Amy & I actually saw STIMULATOR last summer open for DURAN DURAN up in VA, they were excellent. I am working on getting both Faster Pussycat and Bang Tango t shirts for the store and the website. Joe showed me the picture that will be on the t shirt, those shirts are gonna be cool. So, stay tuned!!! That's about it for our weekend with the "rock stars" . Thanks to both bands and especially Chad & Danny for hanging with us. We had a blast!!! ROCK ON!! --Amy & Amy
