Paul and John with Marya Roxx @ The Joint in LA

Deb · 11 May 2008, 18:37

Me and Heather went to see John and Paul with Marya last week. I can't believe it came and went to fast and that itls nearly a week since we got back

There were many many highlights to this trip

Here's a few...

We arrived in LA last wed evening. Just in time to pick up a hire car, get changed in the loo's and tackle the LA traffic to find 'The Joint'

This was all as horrendous as it sounds

We survived and got there about 30 mins before they were due to go on lol.

After having a quick chat and a few well deserved Southern Comforts it was show time

The sound that comes out of Marya's mouth for someone so tiny is amazing! . Usually at these sort of shows the sound is way too loud but this was perfect. Although my video doesn't seem to think so lol. I can't fault the show at all. It was very very cool to see John and Paul play with Marya. It was also very cool to get to see and meet Joey Vera. If I say so myself Marya is very lucky to have such an amazing band

They were all having such great fun onstage, and seemed to all play so effortlessly, yet still play amazingly.

It was great to hear some of Marya's other songs. I'm really looking forward to seeing more from here soon. She is destined to make it big. And the couple of shows we saw in LA are the start of things to come.

Here's some pics from the show...

After Marya's set, John and Paul were asked up to Jam with the next band. This was an unexpected highlight for me and Heather.

This was one of the longest days ever for us lol. But also one of the best ever

Oh and the police in LA are very friendly and helpful lol

good to hear you had a good time at the shows!

Deb · 12 May 2008, 15:48

Thanks all

Steph, all police run ins were all driving related lol. And no I didn't do anything wrong

Not that they know of anyway, you don't have as many cameras as we do

We even had a police escort to one place we were going to lol.

Was that the only way they could figure out how to keep you on the right side of the road?? "Just follow us, Ma'am. And DO NOT cross that center double yellow line!"

Deb · 13 May 2008, 00:01

I was alseep at the time so not really sure lol...

Battybarb · 14 May 2008, 19:36

So some place has taken the HOB's crown as worst venue in the world then huh?

Deb · 14 May 2008, 21:17

At least we didn't have to get in a car AND drive it and find a venue lol. We just rolled out of the aiprort to the HOB lol. Into a hairdryer if I remember rightly

But I think both were left with not enough time between landing and show starting

But at least when we did it we were both totally aware of the fact we might not make it. I really have no clue on gods earth what me and Heather were both thinking when we planned that bit lol. Another similarity was the getting changed for the show part lol. Oh actually no. I just remembered where I actually got changed when we went

Another time I thought of you this trip was at the Rio for breakfast lol. For many many reasons

Also when ever I saw one of them stupid casino things that you can't walk by

And the bridge from the Paradiso to the other hotel (which just happens to have started swaying

) And just about every other thing in Vegas actually

*AndyK* · 14 May 2008, 21:22

I'd forgotten about the getting changed bit

(mostly) Fond Memories of a fab trip! You should have got Rabe to drive down and meet you!

Deb · 14 May 2008, 21:30

Yeah our trip to Vegas was one of my best trips yet

I forgot Rabe lived close by

Could have done with some more anal probes lol

*AndyK* · 14 May 2008, 21:34

that's a memory that really should have stayed in Vegas!

Deb · 14 May 2008, 21:40

I tried explaining it to Heather lol, think she might of thought I was insane

But as the saying goes. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and it's true on sooo many levels lol.

*AndyK* · 14 May 2008, 21:44

I can only imagine the look on Heather's face as you tried to explain that one

Sounds like you had a blast out there again! For someone who generally avoids the touristy places like that, I absolutely love Vegas and am mildy (understatement) jealous that you go out there again.

Deb · 14 May 2008, 21:50

Yeah Vegas holds many many good memories of many Meaty friends and will always be somewhere I love

Don't be to jealous, you were definitely there in spirit lol. Didn't you feel your ears burning the whole time?

Meataholic · 19 May 2008, 00:11

Anyway, here's a pic of us with Amanda
