Best party of the year!

// June 13th, 2006 // View Comments // Flotsam & Jetsam

IMG_7334.jpgFrankie, owner of Forgetta’Bout It, threw a smashing party last night that was attended by the elite of the Houston rock scene. Seen in the crowd were John Adams of Jailbreak, Rob Howl of Midnight Circus, the incomparable shredder Ajax, Randy Dickey of Damascus, Bobby Blotzer of Ratt, Lee and Val Seals of WolfeBlitzer, Joe Caine -formerly of Escape and Mystic Cross, Jeff Clifton and Chuck McFadden of Azreal’s Bane, Donny Bragg, and many more. Other partygoers included Cindy Close, Mike and Alpha Settle, Pam Thompson, PV, Dara Springer, Jackee Clifton, Libby Conway, Cindy Dickey, Andrea, and Kymberly.

Abbey Rode started the festivities off with a true-blue set of Beatles music. In what’s becoming an Abbey Rode tradition, the birthday boy and 40 of his closest friends joined them onstage for “Birthday.”

Already Gone took the stage next and had the crowd cheering and singing along. One word – INCREDIBLE! If you haven’t seen them, and you like the Eagles, this is your group! Also making an appearance during their set was Bobby Blotzer, who guested on drums during “Long Run.”

Ratt tribute band Back For More capped the evening off with headbangin’ classics like “You’re In Love”, and of course, “Round and Round.”

Photos will be up soon.

Abbey Rode photos up!

Well, they’re finally done! I turned in almost 30 photos to Jay of Abbey Rode. From there, he’ll choose which ones they want on their site. I’ve posted the 10 that I think are the best – mostly crowd shots. (The lights bit that night. The guy that was supposed to run them didn’t show up, so whatcha gonna do?) In any case, we managed to pull out a few good ones.

If you were in the crowd and don’t see a photo that you were expecting, contact me. If you are the couple that was celebrating your 23-year anniversary, contact me – I have more photos for you!

Well, I’ve finally got this blasted thing up and running. It’s not exactly the way I wanted it, but what remains to be done are mostly cosmetic issues, and I’m tired of having an outdated site!

I have some “new” photos up of Sound Breaking Ground and Damascus, including a shot of some very popular audience members. I also have some photos in the chute of Already Gone’s debut performance, along with photos of the first band on the bill, Abbey Rode. (Lots of crowd shots, too. If you were in the audience, be sure to take a look – you’re probably in there.)

Sound Breaking Ground

118Caught Sound Breaking Ground last night at FBI. Those boys put on a hell of a show. They pulled in a good-sized crowd, and notable amongst them were Chuck Wright (bassist, Quiet Riot), Keri Kelli (guitarist, Alice Cooper, Slash’s Snake Pit), and Bobby Blotzer (drummer, Ratt.)
