Follow-up On Kathy's Comments On Konocti Harbor

[Beau McCrury <Beau.McCrury@ucop.edu>]

Let's see if I can do this without making it too long...

>I enjoyed your report alot.

Thank you:)

>I'm sorry that I didn't get to meet Hazel.

She'll be attending the convention along with me so whoever goes will have
the opportunity then.

>Just out of curosity, what was the event that you met the "die in the wool
>Who fan" at and is it somone we might know?

It was at Simon and Ben's acoustic show in San Francisco last November.  There
were several listers there but I had the good fortune of hanging out primarily
with Gad, Tim and Lauren.  And I should mention too that I was able to
introduce
myself to Simon and Ben, having very pleasant exchanges with both of them, not
to mention Paul.  (Paul is Simon and Pete's other brother right?)  I found
everyone quite approachable and very unpretentious.

>Actually this was more than the average after concert party-that happened
>every night <G> (but Roger didn't attend those) this was the end of tour
>party.  I also think that it was the party that the people paid $900 to be

Ah, I see.  I want to leave this little snip it in and comment on it below.
  
>I was very glad to see that everyone *did* finally make it in.  Could you

>was otherwise distracted<G> I really didn't quite notice, did some of the
>gang give up and leave and not get in?

Yes there were a few that did leave.  Fortunately the few remaining were able
to articulate our interest to the security guard who went in and had our
getting
in approved by someone.  There were six of us remaining at that point and the
guard said only four can come in.  That left Hectow and me out in the cold but
when the guard realized there were only two remaining he allowed us in.  I
was 
left the impression that if some of us didn't leave that none of us would have
gotten in, there would have just been too many.

>Interesting, that I didn't know.  Though that night wen I saw him he was
>drinking white wine.

Well this is just something that someone said to me there.  It might have
been 
that lovely woman who played the piano on LROM.  Now I'm thinking
screwdrivers 
or Belvedere vodka isn't
at all Roger's drink.  What I'm inclined to think now is the party was
indeed the $900 a head
party and for that price, no wonder they had $30 bottles of vodka on the
tables.  Either way that stuff is damn tasty:)

>>Actually once he saw me come in to the party I had to get help from a
>couple of people
>>in keeping him off of me.  I mean, these Who members just can't seem to
>keep there >hands off there fans:)

><snicker> 

Yea, and I'm not giving any of them my autograph either!

>>A few of us walked back to the public bar and had a

>I wish I could have joined you but I was at the mercy of the people that I

>walked back to his room.

The ones that did walk needed to if anything just to unwind a bit from
the experience.

>Now it must be said here that I didn't voluntarily go over there for a

>literally took my camera from me I wasn't going to complain. 

Yep, you gotta take these opportunities as they come.  Your not gonna get a
gripe out of me.
