darlene Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I've been away from the board, reading Raspberries Tonight. I promised not to say ANYTHING about anything till everyone received their books and Ultimate Fan Packs--but I WILL say that you can't imagine the thrill of either.I held the book with shaking hands all the while I read it. From the very beginning, tears were flowing as I read. If you didn't order, do it NOW! Run to the computer and contact Bernie. If you thought you heard everything about the reunion from the band, or thought you know their feelings about the reunion, you're wrong. This book will truly take you into their minds and hearts...Thanks, Bernie, Ken and Kathy, for this amazing book. And thanks SO much to Raspberries, Overdubs and Crew for giving us our dreams on a platter. Thanks, too, to all the fans and friends (and band families) who NEVER stopped believing. It's obvious the guys never stopped believing either. --Love, Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozmik Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Mine came today! Sunday delivery even!I've had time to browse through it. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarBabi7 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I got mine yesterday, Saturday, WOW! Hey I didn't know they even did Sunday deliveries anymore. We used to get deliveries on Sundays the last two weeks before Christmas when I was a kid living in Chicago at the time. Any other parts of the country still get deliveries on Sundays during the holiday season?TONIGHT far surpasses it's advertising, the extras were a really cool surprise. Now we need more concerts for 2006 so we can get the balance of the 2005 venues and the new 2006 venues (hint) into a new publication. After all, gotta keep Bernie and Kathy busy (like they're not already). Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Ken and Bernie make this book collaboration stuff look pretty easy. They're strengths compliment each other. Ken is a great interviewer, and Bernie is a layout and production genius; not much of a stretch to make the analogy comparing them to a great lyricist and songwriter working together. I'd help fund as many Raspberries/Eric Carmen projects as they'd like to do Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leff'tHome Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Me, too. But I have it on good authority that some friends in VERY HIGH PLACES are in the same boat. Patience is a virtue.

I had an album signed by the guys at the meet and greet after the first Cleveland show, but the album cover was missing the sticker since it was purchased. Now it looks great!!!!

sterling Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 BeatleJay,Its the carafe with the orange handle next time! Hey maybe some of us could form some kind of "fell between the cracks" group therapy session. At least we could confine our reactions to "socially acceptable" ones.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Just like "Keith", I won't see mine till Christmas either - that's when I'll be in Minnesota to pick up the book. Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leff'tHome Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Ooooh, it's here! It's here! It's here! The Ohio truck must have arrived! And it's beautiful! And yes, the true story of Barbie and Ken is included! I even tried to scratch and sniff the mailing label. Thanks to everyone who made this possible (and I mean EVERYONE).

Rich From PA Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Bernie:You're in New Jersey. I'm across the border in Pennsylvania.

blackhawkpat Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The books have hit Illinois! Just received it moments ago and as soon as I help pick up the postman, who I had pushed down the stairs for hanging onto it , I'll open it up.
