according to his website, www.stevenistor.com, he will be performing at this concert,, although sparks have had terrific drummers to date, steve n, is in my opinion, the best!!!!, who has clear an amazing talent!!, hope he stays with sparks as long as they still record cd, and really hope he gets to be on the new sparks cd!!!

I'm planning to go to several bars in the UCLA area this weekend to scout out the best one for our get-together. I will post my findings here next week.

All those travelling to the US under the Visa Waiver Program must now (since January 12th) complete an ESTA on-line at least 72 hours prior to travel. Failure to do this will result in refusal to board the aircraft/ship or whatever. You need to find your US Embassy site and follow the instructions.
For fellow Brits, here is the link...

Enjoy LA!

Remembered to fill out that ESTA thing, one assumes we just take the print out to the airport.

Well, as the day gets closer by the second I thought I'd better mention my offer again. If anyone is struggling for accomodation in the LA area, I have a room at the LAX Marriott that people could use to crash for the night. From memory there is usually enough room for 4 people minimum (two on bed two on floor) but there is usually space for a few more. Think of me as the last line of defence lol. Feel free to PM me anywhere between now and the 9th February though if you definately have nowhere to stay.

Apologies if information already posted but anyone who needs to save on taxi fare there are buses running between LAX and Union Station, Westwood and Van Nuys at $6 one way. Metro seems to be pretty reasonable too.

See y'all soon!

Well I'm off down London tomorrow night, so won't get the chance to get on the net after 16:30, so I'm pretty much making plans now, ha. Already found out i can get my ticket from the box office before saturday, so i will do that as I will be otherwise engaged saturday morning, and of course I will hopefully be with some of you people saturday afternoon :)

So if i don't get in touch before, see you all later :)
