Andrew- it was a blast. I hope there are many more CRRs to come! Great job and thanks for putting this together. Fun to have you sit in at QH too...anytime.
Shucks! Absolutely my pleasure...it was great to see you rockin out with both bands! It was so gratifying to see all the hard work you and Franke poured out come to such nice fruition. And I'm so happy for the turn out...felt like a bonafide family reunion!! xoxo Roxi
Yay, I hope you make the Rave too. It's much more about the music and MUCH less drama. Things have been getting crazier and crazier at Viva with every year.
