Hey kids

Carlo del Dios and I are meeting at TGI Friday's restaurant near Rockefeller Center (21 W 51st street) this Saturday.
(see http://tgifridays.know-where.com/tgi...cgi/site?01605 for a map. )

My Xmas tree that I keep by the skating rink there will be lit up by then too

and it's a 5 minute/two block walk to the guitar shops on 48th street.

I have a wedding across the street at the Rainbow Room that starts at 7pm (Private, sorry

), so we're going to meet at 4pm.

All are invited - pls post here if you can make it so if we have a large crowd, I can call Fridays and let them know we're coming.

If you want to go but can't because of a tight $$$ situation, let me know - I might be willing to subsidize your visit (subsidize="kick in" - not "pay for").

So again, in easy to read format:
Date: Saturday December 7, 2002
Time: 4pm
Place: TGI Fridays Restaurant on 51st at Rockefeller Center.

One more thing - this is NOT a playing event - leave your geetar at home. Just come for the hang

(non-bitchy spouses/girlfriends welcome)

I'd come down but my Father is having a big ass dinner for all 6 of his kids.Otherwise I would show up.We should try again at some point.A little advance notice makes it easier to plan.

awww damn kenny that sounds ubercool, but im going to be in georgia from friday till monday

how close are you to NYC? im only 2 hours by train, so we will definitely have to try again!

kennydoe · #6 12-02-2002, 11:11 PM

I work many many Saturday nights in the City. Unfortunately, I usually don't know until Tuesday what my schedule is. Hard to make plans anymore than 4-5 days in advance (that's a lot for me!)

Jason Stone · #7 12-03-2002, 12:01 AM

I have a prior commitment, so I don't think I can make it.

spacenuke · #8 12-03-2002, 01:23 AM

Me and Carlo made the plan first and then decided to invite everyone else later, so we're in this whether it's 2 or 10 or 20.

Sorry if just two of us aren't good enough to leave your house for

Hey everyone
Sorry - I didn't meant to abandon this thread. Got busy for the last coupl of days what witht he snow and all.

We're still good for tomorrow - seems to be carlo and I and possibly Rob Balducci, although i never called him as I said i was going to - hopefully carlo did :-/

My gig starts at 8, not 7 - if possible I'd like to change the meeting time to 5, rather than 4. If this interferes with anyone's later plans, we can keep 4. it's no problem - i was just going to make a tech-support stop at my singer's house in the City.

please call me even if it's last minute and you find yourself near Rockefeller Center. My Cell is 516-428-9986.

It was great meeting Kenny......very cool and nice guy. It was just the two of us....but it was still a lot of fun. We went to a couple guitar stores....tried a couple of amps here and there......had a nice quick dinner.....and even did some quality sight-seeing. It was cool.

kennydoe · #14 12-08-2002, 12:06 PM

'twas indeed a good meeting.
Carlo left out the parta bout me dragging him thru the sub-basement of the NBC/GE building to load my gear into the Rainbow Room

Took a couple of pics for posterity:

This first one, we were by the big Rockefeller Center xmas tree and i said "Carlo, lets make this look like a wonderfully romantic shot - put your head on my shoulder, will you boy?

actually, his head's not on my shoulder. I took the picture myself and i told him to get in close. his head just happened to look like it was on my shoulder.

Here's the other pic i took of the two of us. We were having a lot better time than is reflected in Carlo's face :P

We defintely do it again soon - maybe after some of the holiday madness passes.

Thanks for the fun Carlo!
