I'm leaving! I'm gonna miss you all!

Post by RobTheDrummer »

Ok, so I have some news to spill...

I'm moving away and yes, I'm not joking...I was very recently offered a gig in Reno, Nevada. The gig is full time playing various casinos across the Reno/Lake Tahoe/Vegas area. So, I had to decide what was best for me at the time. Turns out, I feel that moving is my best option. This is a great oportunity for me and I want to thank all Rockpagers for supporting my ass throughout the years. Also, special thanks to:

Jim Price
Hair Force One
One Gun Salute (Dave, Keith, Scott)
Hexhed (ex Hedhed- SM)
Fat Vinny and Randy Kettner
The Hurricanes
Generation Gap - Get Closer to the Music
Bill Hockerl
Bad Daze
4 Days Dirty
Randy Scharillo(SP?)
Moondoggy (Dan Mullen...also brother Nick)
Dustin Burley (Plasma)
IN (matt, adam, greg)

I would like to thank all of these personally for letting me share a stage with them at one time or another- or just for being friends. I love you all! Hopefully I'll have some time to make trips back to the homeland and visit from time to time.

One other thing:
I'm still gonna post on here to annoy everyone.

Peace!
Rob, Miles O' Toole, The Bonz...

:D

I, unfortunately, did not get a chance to work with you. However, I hear nothing but praise, and witnessed your talent watching the OGS Live at Aldo's DVD. Losing one of Central PA's finest musicians is like watching a loved one pass on to the afterlife. It sucks for awhile, but you know that person will always be in a better place. (did that sound gay, I hope not.) Good luck and try not to lose your pants at the slots.

Let's not fool ourselves. If you aren't a showgirl or crime scene investigator, there's only one other job available in Vegas:

Congratulations on the new gig, and a gigantic high-five for having the balls to follow your dreams! It was a blast working with you, short-termed though it may have been. We'll miss you greatly.

Um, anyone know any drummers? Dammit. :(

Rob, I take it all back...your Drumming sucks. :cry: You'll be missed. Best wishes to you, always! I know...everyone, how about a "RockPage Road Trip to Reno"??? :) Sleepytime Bear, :D he doesn't need to worry about "losing his pants" in Reno, he wears Assless Chaps. Something tells me Rob/Miles/Bonz has found his true calling. :wink: CONGRATULATIONS!
