Axle, You missed the big name change a couple of months back. a lot of people realized you could change your name in your profile... See ya in Vegas.
I was looking at the Round up web site and it says the Paladins are playing there at 4pm and then again later that night ?
Sounds good, count me in. Is there a fee or a pre-register or any of that? Or can I just show up? I'm really looking forward to it!
no pre registration or registration....simply pay at the door. getting emails from fresno on this! nads,remember helpin me out with the P.A. equipment in the employee elevator......half asleep.....two seperate doors closing at the same tme...one from the top, the other from the bottom, then WHAM!....there went the hand. my hand swelled every time my heart beat.....f*$kin hurts to think about it!
DAMN Alex havent seen you post on here in a long time. The old guys are still around. just hard to see with all the new people running around.
hey lover, I will call you, George wants to come to the show, but he can be a fussy and old man!.. Me and BRad are going to be working, we need to figure out what car to bring, I will call you soon. would it be possible to get a room?
germ, which show are you talking about? vlv?.....or pre vlv? if its vlv.....i just took care of everything and george has a room at the G.C. and a huge vendor/dislay area (same spot as last year) all other rooms at the GC are booked. the RIO,PALMS,& ORLEANS honor a discount if you mention the vlv weekender. now, as for the pre show...why dont ya come out? lots of cars (especially by the cars/clubs that have never been to vegas because its to far) and lots of good company and great music!

Hey Axle, Sure wish we could make the pre party. I heard your coming to Indy for our weekender, is that just a rumor? Try to keep Paco out of trouble in Vegas for us until the rest of us get there!! Roy ROAD ROCKETS
there were some nice cars over there. quite a few "in progress" dueces and what have you. i walked into the bar with my sister and received a few "what the***** are you doing here?" looks. is this what people do? i mean if you're not sporting a greased hair-do, rolled jeans, etc, etc? other than that it was alright.
It was a real fine time. Some nice cars and fun folks. The music was pretty good for the most part. The second band might want to invest in some tuners though Ran a bunch of us outside. So a Tip of the Viper Top Hat to the Shifters. Thanx for the party. I will definetely return to Los Vacitos, I came hungry, as suggested, and Los Vacitos did not disappoint. Chili
BRANDON 133, i got to tell you somethin. honestly, i think all of your feelings are made up in your head! there were all walks of life in that bar as well as outside. there were long bearded KIWI'S & AUSIES hanging out with squeek bell, there were los vacitos regulars the********s in attendance, also the friendly grey haired "old timers" with thier retro rods that went in to los vacitos, there was all of us rockabilly guys with our gals there, and loads of regular dressed people and ya know what?...it was one big party and everyone got along and had a blast. that said, THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED & SUPPORTED THE SHOW! IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!!! my wife and i had been there since noon preparing for it....people started arriving as early as 4:00 to get that prime parking spot. hundreds came and hundreds partied like there was no tomorrow! people seemed to realy like the royaltones surf band, rockin ryan, and rip carson. i think the show could of gone on until 5:00 am as there were at least 200 people stil wanting more! the bar actually ran out of beer! well, there was a few heinekens and a couple of corona's in the fridge but that was it! at 2:00 a.m. tom ingram was still dj'ing and all of the dancers and onlookers seemed to not want the night to end! AGAIN, THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME OUT! WE'LL DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!!!SEE MOST OF YOU A VLV ! alex
