Well, it's Monday again. Today we are on pins & needles waiting for the big Rocklahoma announcement! It is only three months away. You may be thinking, whats the big deal, three months is plenty of time and for a club show, you would be right! But for Rocklahoma, we start planning on the last day of the show for the next year. Usually by now, we know at least half of the bands on the line up. Unfortunately, ROK as decided to change the format and feature "modern" bands too, completely changing what ROK is supposed to be about. Instead of listening to the fans or taking Eddie Trunk up on his offer to help book the bands the fans want to see, they decided to bring in a company that doesn't know anything about the 80s! The took away front row seating (which is really gonna piss of the folks that reserved their seats from last year) and added a pit....at what 80s show do you need a pit??? This year is going to be an entirely different kind of show. Maybe they will come thru with some big names, maybe Iron Maiden, or Judas Priest, or Scorpions...maybe! Or, and more likely it will be a bunch of bands no self respecting glam band fan would ever listen to....and I am afraid that is more likely to be the case. I sure up I am pleasantly surprised in 14 minutes!
On a happier note, at Saturdays Kidz Time event, Amy H got out there and taught some eager kids how to do a little THRILLER dancing. Lots of fun was had by all!
Til next week!

So, did everyone enjoy Valentine's Day? Just another day of the week to me. But hope it was a good one anyway!! Well, the move is done!! Finally!! A special thank you to Bob, Stacy, Sean, Kyle and a VERY SPECIAL thank you to Shelly for all your help!! You guys are the best :)
Some friends and I were at a bar that didn't have Miller Lite on draft, I know, right? So then they ran out of Bud Light, so we are down to Pabst Blue Ribbon. So, we invented a new drink...PGR, Pabst Green Ribbon, just add about 3 limes per glass!! Here's a tip tho, skip the shots in between!
So football is over, but pitchers and catchers report in less than a month!!!

Happy February Everyone!!
Well, I got to see snow and didn't even have to go all the way back to New Hampshire! Eight inches fell in VA Beach between Fri night and Saturday. Luckily I got to see my family Friday night before it started, but didn't get to go out to try and see some of my friends :( Hopefully next time! But, I did take absolute pleasure in spending the entire weekend on my sister's couch in my PJs and robe watching her brand new 55" Vizio TV!!! Wow! It was worth getting up at 3:30 am Sunday morning to see the sweat beads rolling off Roger Federer's forehead!! Had fun at my pit stop in Raleigh on the way up with my buddy Todd, thanks again for the wine, had a blast!
So, moving on Wednesday, can't wait until it's done!!! And then, the big game Sunday night!! Interestingly enough, from the responses that we have received for our Super Bowl party evite that included a survey, the majority are picking the Saints!! I say GO COLTS!!!
Just an FYI, for all you retro rockers out there...there's a new new festival coming around in June called the M3 Rock Fest, check it out... http://m3rock.webs.com/.
Hopefully we'll have some new concert updates soon. Not much going on at the store right now, but if you hate battling the crowds in the summer, now is a great time to visit Retro Active at Broadway at the Beach!! Or if you want to stay warm, visit shopretroactive.com!!!
Rock On!!
