Location: Rego Park, NY, | I'm usually behind the camera. That way I don't have to actually pick up a guitar and bring the Jams to a crashing halt.
But wait!! Here's a picture taken by Cliff with my camera of me and Matt Smith after he signed my copy of his book.

Location: Newington, CT | Soooooo...since the "veterans" have convinced me that I should just set this ball ta-rollin' and let it roll, I have some fun topics to exercise your creativity 'twixt now 'n the date: (please fill in the blank)
* Event name (hint: not g8rbowl):
* Event Logo (be mindful of copyrights, fair use, etc. Think T-shirts):
* Event Theme:
Rules:
---------------------------------------------
* You do not need to attend to participate.
* Please submit your nominations for the above event characteristics to me, with how you wish to be referred to if I pick 'em. My e-mail: alanminer@cox.net[/B/
Also: I will try to contribute door prize gifts, but if you all could send me things you think would be meaningful, I would MUCH prefer to use those. I have things like picks, and, ummmm...I have picks.
My address:
Alan Miner
167 Moylan Court
Newington, CT 06111
I promise to use ALL of what you send as door prizes (unless, that is, I deem it inappropriate -- my judgement) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | We used to have good parties. Drink, eat junk food. Great fun until the next morning. Then everyone got a girlfriend or wife. They had to plan the parties. They'd make big meals. Then we started having "theme" parties. Pretty soon they became a chore and people got mad if you didn't show up.
The moral is: just have the damn party Alan. It's a party, don't overthink it. |
