I recall be amused when the Strawbs played in 2004 and Dave Cousins (much to his chagrin) walked around all over Zoellner and was rarely acknowledged.

I think this is going to be a really good one, This has become many peoples only vacation plans for the year, with last year falling through and the declaration of the end of the series as we know it and with the prestigious reputation amoung musicains and cogniscenti. It will be a blast.


What us really funny is that really famous mainstream people, actors, performers show up as fans and nobody aknowledges or recognizes them (or even gives a shit IMHO). If Sherman Hemsley showed up that would be different.

Frank & Gino,

Frank - I'm happy to hear that you are recovering nicely and are feeling much better.

I read about the incredible lineup of the 2012 Nearfest Apocalypse festival and wish both of you guys and everyone else who attends a great time !

I wish I could be there...

Robert

Gino,
 
I am actually in pretty fine shape these days. I belong to a gym, I weigh 178 pounds (down from 239), I eat right and I am working on recovering my upper body strength. I no longer take, nor require blood pressure or cholesterol medication, my blood sugar, triglyceride levels, etc. are all great. Except for a bit of arthritis, I feel fantastic. I think by June 21st, when I leave for Bethlehem, I will be strong enough to schlep a M400 out from my basement and carry it up to my truck by myself... not that I intend to do so.
 
However, I am grateful for your offer of help and not to prideful or stupid to accept and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
 
Frank

It's old home week for me.  All of us record importers from the 70's make contact during the festival.  We feel like we actually did something in our youths.

I will be around if you need help.  I know you shouldn't be humping gear.
