perhaps too busy on the pearl jam forum or something?

It really is not that far.

I was talking to some girls and they said they would be there by your car.   By youuur car.   :)

Seriously though, Chief, at least you have a party.  I can't even find someone in St. Louis, or KC for that matter who's having a one.

Are the Robinson boys alright with you changing your name?

[ChiefOKONO]

hahah the robinsons will have to deal with it!

you should come out to this party! i'll give you more free stuff :D

SO I just got my package today.. WOO HOOO!!!!

[BH]

[ChiefOKONO]

cheif okonocrowe...
hey!

the hotel cafe is a fab spot for the listening!  i don't know that i'll be able to make the time b/c i'm working in culver city.  :-/  sometimes i have to work late when i haven't planned for it.

BUT i am hoping to see black keys at the avalon that night.

a little mmj then black keys would make for a swell night!  :D

[ChiefOKONO]

well i really do hope you can come out for a little bit at least! thanks for the reply :)

[ms. yvon]

took me about an hour to get that posted.  i'd start typing, then get called into the other room, come back to the desk, settle into my train of thought, and get derailed again.

dude.  it just happened again.  

are you seeing the black keys this week?

also--will get the details on the listening today...

[ChiefOKONO]

heh, doesnt work suck?? dont know about the keys, ill play that by ear. im focusing on MMJ right now  :D

[ms. yvon]

"party thrower"   8)

[ChiefOKONO]

this is tomorrow folks! anyone else going to join us??

[BH]

I just got a mental picture of Ms. Yvon and the Chief alone in a bar with their fists pumping in the air and rocking the fuck out all by themselves.  I love it.

[ms. yvon]

foam novelty flying v's to the first 200 attendees!
 :D

[ChiefOKONO]

now THAT is an idea! i wish i had the time to pull it off :D

[ms. yvon]

r--quick note:
i'll be at the shindig, but not by 6pm.  i'm getting to leave work at a reasonable time, but the drive to h-wood is about an hour.

see you there!

[ChiefOKONO]

Well, all things considered I think it went pretty well.
THANKS Yvon for coming out and braving the traffic!!!!

Unfortunately the timing wasn't better but I worked with what I could and tried to get the word out.  Several people who I expected to come couldn't make it for various reasons.

Mainly it was me and ms yvon, although she came towards the end and wasn't able to listen to the whole thing.  Other two dudes showed up but they didn't stay very long and several others recognized the band and stayed to listen for a while. What was funny is MMJ got the bartender and the other dude working dancing!!!

OKONOKOS sounded awesome on the house sound system , especially the 2 guitar parts spaced out like that. It sounds even better on headphones.

I think I just may have to have another listening party!!!

[BH]

Nice going chief!

[ChiefOKONO]

Could've used you there man! :)

btw, the door man was also a fan of the band and was digging the live album. he asked me about their tourdates and we talked for a bit.
apparently one of the regular performers at the Cafe knows the band too...

Nice going chief!
