I met Tommy & JY in Vegas

by **fbnl** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 3:17 am

I've been reading your board for quite awhile, but never posting, but enjoy all the updates, etc. Anyway, I was in Vegas for 4 days celebrating turning 50 with my two high school friends, and we were walking down the lobby at the Mirage behind some guys who looked like Styx from the back, and at first I walked past then I thought I'd be kicking myself if I didn't go back and make sure, and it was JY (and another guy who works for the band, I want to say his name was Ron but don't quote me on that). What nice guys!!! Shortly after that Tommy arrived, which was a thrill for me, we took pictures, and Tommy's wife is gorgeous. Needless to say this was the highlight of my entire weekend!!!! We went to the concert at Mandalay Bay the following night, Foreigner was very good, liked the new lead singer very much, and Styx played mostly songs from the Grand Illusion album, Chuck was there for a couple. I hated that these groups only got to play for a short time before Def Lep came on, but I saw Styx earlier this year in Atlanta where they played over 2 hours so I was spoiled! If there is some way to attach the pics on the board here, I'll be glad to do it, just tell me how.......

Welcome to Hades, fbnl. To post a picture, you click "add image to post" underneath the text box before hitting "submit." This will enable you to access files on your PC and put them directly in the post. Hope that helps. I've met just about everyone in Styx at one time or another, and they've all been great. Glad you had such a memorable weekend.

That was Gowan, the telephone pole-tossing Scotsman.

Sounds like you and Gowan have something in common.

Welcome aboard.
