OK. I've saturated the blog with RRFC stuff to last for days. I think it's gonna be a few days (at least) before I post any more about the camp, but I did want to leave you with what I thought was a pretty cool pic.

RRFC: Miscellaneous Signage
I am not a huge 'gimme your autograph' kind of guy. But even I recognized the potential for coolness to be had at the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. I took an old sketchbook from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum and that became my Autograph Book. I wanted to have a page … Continue reading RRFC: Miscellaneous Signage
RRFC: Los Angeles (Aug. 26th)
It hardly seems real. But it is. We drove through the night from San Francisco to LA and pulled up to the Grafton sometime in the wee hours of the morning. In what can only be described by mere mortals as a 'whirlwind of amazingness' we unloaded. I had to get a shot with Rob, … Continue reading RRFC: Los Angeles (Aug. 26th)
RRFC: San Francisco-The Aftershock
So...we played the Fillmore. The LEGENDARY Fillmore. What could possibly top that?? If you had asked me that right after the show, I would have not had an answer for you. Because in my mind, nothing could top that. We stayed through Kings X set-which I have to say, I really am starting to dig. … Continue reading RRFC: San Francisco-The Aftershock
RRFC: San Francisco (Aug. 25th)
Alright, now on with the Camp. This was my 3rd Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. I couldn't believe it. I had to pinch myself-really (serving two purposes-making sure I wasn't just dreaming, and making sure the NyQuil had worn off). I was also just a TAD nervous. I'd checked the list and I was the … Continue reading RRFC: San Francisco (Aug. 25th)
RRFC: San Francisco -The Trip (Aug. 24th)
Vegas was quite amazing, to be honest. And the turnout at the Hard Rock was even better than the crowd at the Marquee (which kind of surprised me since we didn't have the headliners that we had in Phoenix). So, Sunday was our travel day. I don't know how late the rest of the VIPs … Continue reading RRFC: San Francisco -The Trip (Aug. 24th)
RRFC: Las Vegas (Aug. 23rd)
After getting through the Phoenix show, we all piled on the VIP Bus. Courtney (the tour go-to lady from Rockcamp), Nathalie (a doctor from Canada), Bill (a surgeon from Canada), Nathan (a concrete contractor from Palm Springs), and me. And I was tired, boys, lemme tell you. The emotional roller-coaster, the adrenaline, the flu...all combined … Continue reading RRFC: Las Vegas (Aug. 23rd)
RRFC: Phoenix (Aug. 22nd)
So, all prior bullshit and bitching aside. The actual experience of the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camps was amazing. David, you and your group did an AMAZING job of bringing this all together for a noob like me. Righto. After pulling up my skirt and deciding to stick it out for a day or so, … Continue reading RRFC: Phoenix (Aug. 22nd)
The Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp That Almost Never Happened (for me)
It is night after the last show of an amazing 4 show run that for me started in Phoenix just 5 days ago.you see, I'm a winner. At least that's what I've been telling myself (and others) this week.I won a contest. And by now we all know which one, so I'll stfu about it … Continue reading The Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp That Almost Never Happened (for me)

OK. So...day before Rock and Roll Fantasy camp departure time.What's the worst of all scenarios that could happen? Fever? Nausea?Aches? Coughing? Extreme Fatigue?Oh no...not any of those...but ALL of those.I got home from work last night and I should have been pumped as sh*t for RRFC (is there really a need to put a link … Continue reading this is SO not Rock and Roll
