marvin Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I just threw some questions out for Eric, figuring that he'd likely read them, not figuring that he'd answer. Now that he has, let the guessing games begin!Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesberry Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Let's see. I'm guessing we're going to Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 October is an awfully long time from now, but it allows plenty of time to plan. Thanks for the heads-up. KCPS. Good work Marvin! You get "Thread Starter of the Month" award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 "Thread Starter of the month"? I accept with grace.Let's see the last time I flew to Cleveland was for the NYE show. The itinerary went something like this: Calgary to Salt Lake City to Cincinati to Cleveland. Left at 5:00am, arrived at 5:00pm. After the show, got a ride back to the airport, slept there for a couple of hours, and did the itinerary in reverse to get back to Calgary.I remember saying, "never again, never again..." Famous last words!Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Carmen Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Marvin, Are there direct flights from Calgary to Toronto? If there are, Toronto to Cleveland is an easy 35 or 40 minutes non-stop. In my youth, I used to fly up to Toronto to go shopping at Long John's Rock 'n Roll Clothes on Yonge Street quite frequently. They were way ahead of the Cleveland curve when it came to cool clothing and boots. ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Eric when I came to the November reunion show, it was a fairly easy Calgary-Toronto-Cleveland flight. Unfortunately for NYE, there was nothing else available other than the 'itinerary from hell.' Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mac Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Marvin,You get my vote for best post yet. You have a gift for probing ever so gently, but with great precision.Sort of the ANTI CARTMILL, if you will...We can discuss further on October 6th in Cleveland.

Tim From Wisconsin Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well - At the moment it's $192.99 round trip from Milwaukee to Cleveland in October via Midwest Airlines.Maybe it's the first annual "Weekend at Eric's"! I'll bring the brats and beer!Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ahhhh, A day at the Carmen Compound WITHOUT being chased accross the lawn by security guards, dobermans, and a yippy little coton...Now that would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Now this rocks. Five months' advance notice for what sounds like a Raspberries-related event in Cleveland, on a Friday --- three days before John Lennon's birthday. (Wanna feel old? Lennon would have turned 66 this Oct. 9...)Anyway, this time, I'm in.... A drive home to see my folks (western NYS) and then a hop, skip, and jump over to Cleveland. Eric, can I leave my li'l daughters with whoever's watching Clayton and Katherine that day? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 But I'm guessing another show at the R&R Hall, this time with that 70's power pop group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 It will be my 1st trip out of Florida! Never had something to look forward to during the upcoming hurricane season here besides the end of the season! (I came on board too late for prev show dates) Hmmmm.....board up the windows dear, just in case, let's go to Cleveland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggsherby Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sounds like a hint that it's going to be an outdoors show....but I have a feeling the "Raspberries" may not be involved...I'm feeling a SOLO gig......!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Eric has laid the seed, now every one else will plant the ideas and thoughts as to whether raspberries or a solo flower will bloom on Ocotber 6th.I've got my own guesses but I'm going to wait for more hints.

AnneG Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Anne: How do you feel about spending our anniversary in Cleveland? Husband: Anne: How do you feel about spending your anniversary alone?

Tony Cartmill Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Oct 6th says there will be a full moon! You know what that means?Special Guest: Mike (The Werewolf) McBride!...Complete with the 1974 monster sideburns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 October 6th...I'm assuming that you're not inviting all of us over for a backyard cook-out. Could it be the arrival date of a new one of them fancy puppies? How about a special "by popular demand" induction to the R & R Hall of Fame? No, I think I've figured it out! It's been decided that the new CD/DVD is only going to be sold by infomercial, and 10/06 is filming date and they need a studio audience. Maybe they can get Davy Jones to be the host!

AnniekNY Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 OK....OK....OK...I'VE GOT IT!!!!!! Since Eric's post about October usually being his favorite month mentioned leaves changing color, that means "Fall", which could be another way of hinting that something ELSE is going to "DROP" and according to MTV these days, when something "DROPS", it's usually a new CD...... SO - we're all invited to Cleveland for the release party at the House of Blues for the live DVD/CD combo PLUS a live concert with NEW MUSIC!!! With a wine and cheese soire at Eric's (I'll bring Grey Goose too....)to follow UNDER the Harvest Moon..... or i could be dreaming again? But LOOK what happened last time we all did that?!!!

marlene Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 You see, Eric...we DO trust you ! I think there'll be a big party in Cleveland in October !! And it's fun to hear everyone's guesses as to what the "Mystery Event(s)" might be..... Whatever it is, I'll be there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 We are ready to rock the house, Miss Marlene...you know us, just give us a time and a place and a certain band....By the by, Eric - your comments about the demographics of CD buyers were so on target..as an example, i just bought Chicago XXX (love every track and I don't remember the last time that happened - definitely loading onto the ipod) and Barry's new album...eh. (I think I don't enjoy the songs themselves...some I like, but mostly don't connect with the rest)On the flip side, the 14 and 15 year old girls on my soccer team RARELY buy music...they download it illegally. My kids don't buy CDs - they buy it from Itunes piecemeal (or pirate it...I am being realistic )...So how much money are those artists REALLY making?(total aside: i really miss the cover art to the albums.....)Well, we EC.COM women and boarders WILL buy CD's and DVD...I think you told us WHEN and WHERE, now just give us the exact location that Al will be selling......

mannoman Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Annie, Marlene, Jen. Wow! It's good to see all of you here at the same time. Seems like old times. Can you believe it might happen again, this fall? I'm pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Me too, Ted ! It sounds like there a lot of us from the message board that plan to attend THE EVENT ! As soon as we have more details, I think we should plan the biggest, bestest pre/post party EVER !! Hearing my favorite music...seeing (and meeting more of) my WONDERFUL EC.com family....enjoying the lovely city of Cleveland in October...life just doesn't get much better. I hope you and Ruthie will be there !! Marlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
