BREAKING NEWS:Roger & Sony in Florida!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--
 Mike here,

The following news leads me to believe that the boys may be seriously trying 
to strike a deal with a record company,I don't know...what do you make of 
this?My friend
Barry emailed me with some inside info that Roger is in Clearwater Florida to 
meet with Sony representatives tomorrow evening for dinner at an undisclosed 
restaurant.
Barry heard this from a reliable source,a club owner friend,but the location 
of the restaurant was not known,what is known is that it's one of three 
restaurants owned by the same person who owns The Salt Rock Restaurant in the 
Clearwater area.... so I did some homework of my own.I called the Salt Rock 
and asked the girl if she could tell me the names,location and numbers of the 
other two restaurants,so I called the first one called The Island Way Grille 
because it was in Clearwater and the other one,called The Bistro Blvd Grille 
was in Indian Creek,so I went with the one in Clearwater on instinct.I called 
up and told the lady that I was with Sony and just got into town and needed 
to know what time the reservation was,so she told me 6:30pm Saturday night 
and then preceded to tell me more than I asked for.She said," I assume you 
are with Rick Hughes"? I said yes! (I'm guessing he a big honcho?)She then 
preceded to give me directions,she said "and you will be coming from the 
Sheraton Hotel on Clearwater Beach"? I said Yes! LOL!! I got the right 
f*cking restaurant alright! I will make the 5 hour drive and I will dress as 
a busboy with white shirt,black vest and apron and I will put a mini-tape 
recorder in my apron.Hopefully I will be able to obtain some valuable 
info.The Spies they travel on!Ok,so I'm not going to go that far..LOL! 
Probably another meeting among many others before it but maybe this is THE 
one?I will be near Clearwater as my brother and I are going to see Barry's 
tribute band The Wholigans in Orlando tomorrow.They hit the stage at 10:00pm 
at the Lost and Found Club at 664 U.S. Highway 17/92.Maybe a little snooping 
around at the Sheraton on Clearwater Beach before we make the trek 
backtracking to Orlando :)

recieved an email from a clubowner friend of mine, he told me that roger is 
here in town and has a reservation for 20 with sony reps at a certain 
restaurant ( I know but I'm not telling you cos you won't come to orlando), I 
also know the hotel, go figure the one night I'm out of town!
The clbowner wanted to take me out for dinner 2 hrs prior to rogers arrival 
and tell the maitre de we were early...that would have been a laugh.<<


Cheers,Mike
