Hi ALL,

It was a wild weekend celebrating 30 years of doing what I do.

TOMMY FRENZY and what's left of the TUFF DARTS were rockin' like they did back in the '70's. LACH & the SECRETS always blow the roof off of the PUSSYCAT. The GRAY vs. BLUE III was another success with all of the bands getting wasted and having a great time. It was so much fun, I woke up around 2pm on Sunday and I had NO VOICE. Now I know some of you wish you could have been there to not hear it, and if you came to OTTO's that night, you would have. It didn't return until around 8:30pm and it was still cracking a little all night long.

This week I have V.O.X. at the PUSSYCAT. They are on a national tour and they will be doing two shows with us while they're in NYC.

Also this weekend our very own PAM the METAL QUEEN is getting married! In LAS VEGAS! When she comes back next weekend she will have been doing it legally for once (or probably more). CONGRATULATIONS ERIC & PAM!

F.P.TOZ continues their residency at OTTO's on Sunday at 9pm, while BITTERWEED does the same at GRAND CENTRAL on Thursday at 10:30pm. These are 2 awesome bands, so come on down and check them out before it's too late.
