Great you guys! Please make some pics!?!

[Buglunch]

Great t-shirt, Zuluman!
I had the b&w poster back in 70s at uni music school in Edmonton............whee! I'm "well-behaved" now........
These things get announced too late for me, band duties and plans need warning time. Obviously I'll have to have a travel-kit ready at all times to make the surgical strikes. ;)
Lots of wicked electronic things happening here.
AND we found some big morels today on the foray I led right at home out back.

:disco:

Have a great time and say ho to Alan and tell Geoff I'll chew the keyboard fat someday with him soon.

:keyboard:

( Any other keyboardists on White album or only Geoff? )

[JaneEyre]

Can't wait to read about the party!

[marklovesyes]

It was a great little party. Great to meet you, MrZuLu! Hope you made it back to Ferndale safe and sound!

I'll post a few pics later when I get home.

A "Who's Who?" of attendees: All of White sans Downes; Paul Secord, Roger Fisher, Reek Havoc, Goldie McJohn, Geoffrey Castle, Paul "Wayo" Hogan.

Who am I missing, ZuLu?

[Buglunch]

Did they play anything? I was hoping Downes would be there......


We found morels out back here when I led the annual society foray, so that makes up for some of the "Aw, Crap! Factor".
they look just like this:

:D

[marklovesyes]

They didn't play anything. It was just a party. CD playing overhead with video of the New Year's show on this screen. I tried posting a pic, but it wouldn't take.
Is there a problem posting pics on the new YesFans.com?

[MrZuLu]

The Party was a blast.
I first spoke to Gigi after receiving my promo package.
I was a lucky one as they had a limited number of them. Alan, Steve and Kevin came in about 8 or so.
By 8:30 they had to add two more bartenders.
Soon after that it was standing room only and everyone was having a blast!
Not wanting to bother Alan straightaway I had a popperazzi moment

Steve noticed I was sneaking candid shots of Alan and jumped in the way
:lol:

[Andersonic]

lol! Thanks for the glimpse!

[MrZuLu]

After most of the people had filtered out and the party was winding down,
Alan and Steve had more time we finally got to speak.
The supporting Tour is going to be this summer.
Geoff is in the UK and will be stateside sometime in June.
The guys are happy and totally stoked to get this show on the road.
I didn't get to speak to Kevin as he had to leave early.

I am not sure who the girl is

The dude on the left is a very good friend of mine, he is the other Mikey :lol:
Gemini bass player of course. Ya'll be seeing and hearing more from him in future as well!
I believe the guy inbetween Alan and Steve is Mark Miller, one of the recording engineers involve with "White".

[MrZuLu]

It was a great little party. Great to meet you, MrZuLu! Hope you made it back to Ferndale safe and sound!

I'll post a few pics later when I get home.

A "Who's Who?" of attendees: All of White sans Downes; Paul Secord, Roger Fisher, Reek Havoc, Goldie McJohn, Geoffrey Castle, Paul "Wayo" Hogan.

Who am I missing, ZuLu?
Dude there was a bunch of notables there I just can't remember all their names.

Was sure strange running into Goldy.
He and I go way, way back!

I will have more pics when Mikey develops his film. My camera died... :banghead:
:buttkick: Leave it to me to forget to bring battery :bash: :flamethro backups

[Hill St.]

Great Pics Michael!It looks like a good time was had.

[Scooty]

Great photos brother Michael!!!
Alan looks so happy compared to...nevermind.

I am looking forward to hearing the album and tour!

I'm not sure who that guy is, but it's not Mark Miller. I've known Mark for a few years and he looks MUCH different than that. I didn't see Mark Miller there, actually, as I looked out for him. I did overhear that this guy in the pic did some engineering for Alan at some point, though.

[marklovesyes]

Let's see if I can get a picture posted now.

Nope - still won't work. Why can't I post pics??????

Gigi called a friend in Victoria few weeks ago to set up Alan clinic this summer sometime; haven't met her yet. Great pics!

[MrZuLu]

A long time friend I have not seen in 35 years, Goldy McJohn, Original keyboardist for Steppenwolf...

could it be Jesse White? Eyes and nose resemble Alans' a bit...just wondering.

[True Believer]

Great pics, Michael! Glad you had a blast!

[marklovesyes]

No. It's not Jesse. Jesse was there, but that was not him.

[Buglunch]

Great stuff! So, any Seattle /Vancouver gigs?

[marklovesyes]

The earliest there would be any gigs is June and possibly not until July. But I would not be surprised if there weren't a Seattle date some time in June. We'll just have to wait and see.

Possibly the other engineer credited on the CD, Gary Thompson.......

[Buglunch]

Wicked Goldy shot, Zulu; John Kay's been on TV a lot- CBC bio and such among others.
Have you met him and where did you originally meet Goldy? Is he a Canuck?

I hope the White band gets really good solid venues with info in timely timely.

I met Goldy at UofU back in 68. Long time friend...

Before last monday the last time I saw him was summer of 70 which was the last time I spoke to John as well. In fact that was last time I spoke to Eddie Jobson and Ruth and Ian Underwood as well!

[Buglunch]

Thanks for your Wakey Retro/DA help too, if that was you. Thursday on deliciousagony.com, South Side of the Sky show- be there.

[marklovesyes]

Hey - the picture upload thingy is working now!!

This picture is of the screen showing the band's New Years show (with no audio - just the visual).

[marklovesyes]

This is of the "White" banner (see Alan underneath?)..

[marklovesyes]

They have posted some pics from the party on the White web site.
