Funny how most shows I've been to lately have been benefit shows. I tend to enjoy myself more when I know my $$ is going to a good cause.

I'm so there!!

See you then, Cindy and Terry(and Chris/Cpt Howdy if you're there) and all the other SMFs!!!

Dammit! Dee got snowed in in Long Island or somethin and never made it to Jacob Javits Center. To top it off, someone at the convention jacked my iPhone.

I had some cool stuff to get signed, too.

Sorry Chris...
I'm going to do the train for this one! (last time I visited Poughkeepsie for Twisted it snowed about a foot! I was grateful to be watching it all from the train)

The train station, by the way, is walking distance to the Hudson Civic Center (unless google maps lies).

Hey George

I always eat before....and after....

I tend to eat late afternoon very early evening so that I can get the venue very early before doors open.

Look forward to seeing you there!

C'mon slamboarders--this is for deserving charitable cause....it's in Poughkeepsie so the bobcats and vods can finally be happy.....and it's not christmas for all you grinches....
get out there, support a good cause and rock out to the one, the only, Twisted Fuckin' Sister!

Hey Chris(Cptn Howdy) I'm driving up from north jersey. I can't deal with JFK, but if you could get more into the city somewhere I could most likely give you a ride.

Just gave a listen to Poughkeepsie band 3 Up & 3 Down-- I haven't listened to any of their originals yet, but their facebook page has some of their covers--I was impressed. Decent cover of "Holy Diver" I think we're in for an EXCELLENT show--good warmup band, plus Y & T (which will be a bit bittersweet--this will be my first time seeing them without Phil on bass)-- and I'm hoping for a great setlist from the boys in the pink and black.

in fact...I'll think I'll start a new wishlist thread....

Gonna be a great time, if anyone wants to meet up and eat/drink beforehand lemme know and we'll plan something. Last time I saw some of you was at the Chance.. and a Christmas show somewhere in NJ.... Theres a new place right down the street called Union Square, used to be called the mad hatter... http://unionsquarepok.com/ would be a good place to meet up.. and really close to the civic center...

see you there Joe

I'll be sniffing around the civic center early to maybe grab an earful outside of the sound check (I've been lucky before) unless it's raining, in which case I might melt....

Otherwise, I'll be hobbling around the local coffee shops--wonder if I can get the TS roadies to tape up my cane with pink gaffer tape....don't have trouble walking but I am having a rough time standing on hard surfaces for more than 15 min at a time.....

Not sure what time exactly I'm rolling into town, but I'll probably be ready to eat most likely before and after the show. Union Square looks decent. What other choices are there?

I had a Southwest omlette and sweet taters at a local cafe located in a strip mall called Sugar and Spice a little outside of the downtown area south on Hwy 9. Food and the coffee was great. Service was excellent as well.
