Ok, I have finally come back to reality after the most amazing experience of my life!! Of course I was excited to see Queensryche, my favorite band, when they came to Myrtle Beach. I was excited about meeting new fan club members and reconnecting with old friends. But the real excitement didn't start until 1 hour before the doors opened and Amy L handed me a pair of meet & greet passes, AND jury selection passes!!! For the non-Queensryche-freaks, that means we got to be part of the show...on stage...WITH THE BAND!!!!!! For one whole song, we got to stand on stage as members of the jury in the second set of the show, Operation:Mindcrime II, for the song Hostage. If that wasn't thrilling enough, we got to meet the band after the show. And they were very gracious and talkative and took as many pictures as we wanted. Scott Rockenfield(drummer) remembered us from when we set up our Rockenwraps account as a dealer. Geoff Tate(lead singer) said he wanted to make sure he had time to come by and check out the store the next time he is in town. Now, from most rock stars, I would just brush that off as being polite. But these are guys who follow through with what they say! And you think that's the end of my excitement? Oh no, my friends, there is more yet!!! On the Thursday morning after their show here, I got to spend 30 minutes on the phone with Geoff Tate interviewing him for my friend's website!!! It will be posted on anarchymusic.net on Monday September 18th. If you want to see pics of the concert and meet & greet go back to our website and click on photos. That will take you to our Photobucket page and click on Queensryche Sept o6. Rock on!! --Amy & Amy
Well, Amy C & I have been back from Vegas since Saturday afternoon and we are just about settled back into work.
What an incredible time we had. Our post last week just touched upon a few of the things we found this trip. There is a new line called ROCKSTALGIA. This features bands/artists like Dokken, Keel, Y&T, Steelheart, Winger, Pat Travers, Stephen Pearcy,Sweet, Jackyl, Enuff Znuff and my favorite ZEBRA!!!We are hoping these will all be in with in the next month or so. So, stay tuned!!. We really had a "RockStar " week. The first night we were there we went to see THE FIXX @the Hard Rock. We got some great pictures. They remembered us from the Myrtle Beach show & hopefully will be back.
Monday was the start of the tradeshow, imagine our surprise when we got to one of the booths to find KIP WINGER (still lookin' FINE!!). We were able to meet and talk to Don Dokken, Ron Keel and again my favorite Randy Jackson (from ZEBRA). We were able to catch with our old friend Stephen Pearcy and our new friend Chip Znuff.
Tuesday night we partied at The Joint at The Hard Rock with Randy, Ron, Stephen, Metal Mike, Chip, Don and Jon Levin(from Dokken)along with our buddies Aimee, DeeDee, Matthew, George, Rick ,Stewart & Heather. For some reason we even took a limo back to the hotel.
more rock star run ins to come!! ROCK ON! --Amy & Amy
