I've only been to Central once, and the dance floor seemed a bit small. Not sure if it was because of all of the tables in the way...but I guess table dancing wouldn't be out of the question if they were in the way... - Mon, 3 Jan 2005 10:03am

Unfortunately I will be absent from this show. But, I will be there in March to shake my groove thang..wait, that's not quite right...I will be there to Wang Chung during Dance Hall Days in march...though I'm not sure if you play that song...so maybe it'll have to be during Everybody Have Fun Tonight...bah, tired ramblings. - Tue, 4 Jan 2005 10:37pm

Vegas J- no worries I just thought I'd give you a hard time about that one! But you do owe me for that I'd say! I think I just made YOU a little too excited with that pee comment!

Yeah I'm probably gonna work on some tunes with the Duke and Haden on Friday... I'm really excited about it.

Be sure to email me a reminder about the show- like a couple days before... I won't have Haden around to remind me... she'll be on tour.... OMG- I'll have to show up to a cougar bar by myself... maybe I should think about bringing security... ;) - Tue, 4 Jan 2005 11:06pm

OK fair enough...I owe ya! Workin' with Duke on Friday,eh? Not Saturday...I'd love to come down and sit in the corner and drink and become s l o w l y less coherant and then suggest things like Europe and Poison are the only true musical talents of this century and...oh wait, I did that last week.

Just kidding...(well about the Europe & Poison bit )...would love to listen if invited! Is Haden bringin' the upright? Duke is pretty talented I hear, though I really don't know first hand..

Finally, aren't cougars women? Are you afraid of them? Wouldn't over-aged guys be called something else? Like Jaguars maybe? Heh heh. Giggidee Giggidee!!

Oh, Hi Cheeky...the website http://www.nuvowavo.com has a full song list under "tunes" I think..

And Wolfy, well our lighting sources are a secret....if we told ya...well y'know..;-) Hi's to Ms W & K - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 4:48pm

Vegas, I can never figure out your ramblin` jibberish, maybe instead of Cougars, old rock guys should be called Renos' as in Mike Reno and BlubberBoy. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 6:05pm

User Info...
I was actually referring to female cougars. As it was to tactfully put after I snuck off the dance floor, "I took one for the team," as everyone sat by and watched me get dragged to the dance floor by a scary platnum blond...thing.

Guy versions of a cougar usually get pegged with "Dirty old man". - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 9:53pm
Little Red
User Info...
yeah Dirty old men.... we all know a few of those! j/k

nah I'm scared of the cougars b/c of exactly what Haden said... they drag you out on the dance floor and then they hit on all the men you would've seen as the potential for yourself, and leave you with the dirty old men to deal with. yuck!

Oh and the thing with the Duke is a maybe... I work on Saturday and rehearse on Sunday. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 11:16pm

Vegas, a Jaguar is a really wealthy cougar and you guys get alot of those ;) No reason to be afraid of them little red. I like to study them I think they are so funny! You know one day we to will be cougars as for now we are just kittens but one day will wear our tightest jeans with our thongs on backwards ( to get a better camel toe) and dance the night away with younger men. Personally I cant wait!
