If it is a rock n roll hero of yours I would suggest skipping work or begging / paying someone to cover for you.

1. given your relationship with said artist (if it\'s who I\'m thinking ;)), this is not necesarrily a one time thing and they will understand/invite you to numerous other occasions in the future one of which you\'ll be able to make.

2. Have I been? No, unless you count members of the breakfast. However, you do have a few years on me duane, so by the time I\'m your age I might have been invited to a party of this kind! Otherwise, fir the time being, I\'m just not as cool as you.

hey, not everyone can pull that outfit off.

Not saying I can either, but I have a little bit more of a physique for it than some people. You didn\'t see Gencs and Walsh in spandex when they went to get the tandem bike last year, that\'s for sure. rotfl


anyway, you\'re already jealous of me because I have all that moe.video at my house.

to be honest, i have been invited to a couplea kinda cool parties like that, and always blew off work for them...

of course, that was back when i was bartending, so work wasn\'t exactly high on the priority list at the time...

i\'d probably still drop everything and go be master groupie if the right musical hero asked, but frankly i\'ve lost most of my coolness since deciding to rein in the craziness, so i don\'t expect to ever get an invite like that again...
