Maybe tomorrow we'll get some REO Speedwagon talk.
I have the best REO speedwagon story.
Sisters wedding, the band is done playing, it's 1 AM and the party flows into the resort bar where 2 guys are playing semi karoake. They are actually singing and playing guitar but have all the other tracks on tape.
Somehow, we end up on stage at about 2 AM, hammered, singing "Time for me to fly", people in the wedding party have the lighters out and as we look to the bar, Kevin Cronin and the other guys from REO speedwagon at the bar! They opened for Dave Mathews up in Wisc and stayed at the Grand Geneva the weekend of her wedding.
Cronin, from Evanston, big Cub fan, we kept the bar open till about 5 AM, drinking and listening to these guys tell some awesome stories.
Now making the whole thing even better, was also the weekend of the Tom Dreesen Celeb Golf outing, so you had a Jimmy Mac, Rollie Fingers, Ray Allen, Mikita, Robo TE, Buthhead a Gorman Thomas!
Had pics with everyone, on the course, in the bar, etc and left the camera in my hotel room! Realized it about 1 hr after I left and my mom made the "quick look" in the room figured it was gone and she said she didnt have time to start questioning people!
Some great pics, especially the late night bar pics. Gone forever.
