MEETIN' PETE AT JOE'S PUB!

ITA/Meet N' Greet Nov. 29th 2006We,Meg,Joyce,Laurie,Marc and I take two cabs from our hotel in mid-town Manhattan and pulled up to the curb in the lower eastside in front of the huf*ckingmongous bus parked there in front of Joe's Pub.I immediately spot Mikey Cuthbert talking to a couple and thus,I begin to start my "casing the scene".As I case said scene,I spot several familiar faces in line such as the lovely and sweet Cynthia and say my hello's as my eyes look sideways left to right,I now see my opportunity to siege Mikey,who I've always taken a liken to.I then summon Marc to whip it out(his video cam that is)and start filming as I shake Mikey's hand and make somesmall non-sensical talk as usual,then from out of nowhere appears the sleak,sexy,glistening and shiningRachel Fuller dressed in a tight black knit dress curving herarse into the shape of a moaning Lisa, I acost her like a paparazzi without a job (she was looking hot as a cat on a hot-tin-roof) and I barreled in and proceed to talk in my usual (startling start) in the middle of sentence ways that "I catch my twin bro Marc from time to time listening to your CD Cigarettes and Alcohol as he works out on the weights in his garage" Well,pretty embarrassing moment as her CD is actuallycalled 'Cigarettes and Housework' so after being corrected by Marc,I went back to her and apologizedonly to get in return "you're all f*cking mad anyway".She was sweet and very down-to--earth, made usfeel quite comfortable.After standing in line for what seemed an eternitywe proceed in and take our seats at a table wherewe can see Roger,Heather and Mr.Curbishley seatedto our right in a level slightly above us.Lots of smilesfrom Roger,lots of staring from Marc who had a perfectsightline(he even said that he thought he was makingole Rog feel a bit uncomfortable at one point withthe unavoidable staring),well,pointing a video camat Mr.CSI(kidding) can help that situation grow a bit uncomfy dontcha think Mr.Starckarazzi? We order our medicine,say hello to William Snyder andvarious mates such as Billy Canell(Who's Next guitarist)and his brother Jimmy.We schlop our drinks and orderfood and in moments the lights dimmer and on comesRachel who intros Jimmy Fallon who does a hilariousbit called 'Car Wash for Peace'.Rachel did her gorgeoussongs,Marth Wainright is fantastic just not my cupof tea(I did shout out,"what no horse pajama's" in whichshe made a comment about).You see,at the last Joe'sPub she was wearing these cute PJ's with horses on themand to say that those PJ's contoured her body likepermanent tats woody be an underwear....I mean,understatement.No comment on Ryan Adams(if there were rope on handwe would of either hung him or hung ourselves).He'snot bad, just not the right crowd.Mikey did 'Misery' and 'Plasticine', as Meg noted in herreview,he does sound much better live in the flesh.Sean Lennon came out looking alot like his dad of the1971 era decked in specs and beard.He sounded likehim,talked like him and joked like him,it was quiteeerie.His 4 songs were by far the best next to Pete.Oh,yeah Pete.Who did Marty Robbins! What asurprise and the best song of the night.Drownedkicked ass as did In the Ether and Endless Wire.Watching Pete push out In the Ether was spectacularto watch.The nights participants came on for the finallyto do ' Im One' with Jimmy Fallon even havinga part,done admirably and his mini-mic spindrew a chuckle from good ole Rog from hisseat.All in all,musically it was a good,not great.But the fact that we were obscured by a hugepiano didnt really help the overall enjoymentbut then again,meeting Pete was really whatwas on our minds more than anything.Anyway,to keep this short,we were usheredinto a hot stuffy room whilst we wait for ourPeteness,we talk amongst eachother andorganize our stuff we want to get signed.Pete's then lead in and a friend of Joyce'snamed Joe Ganley I believe was the firstto get with Pete.To make this to the point,since I am the writee of the reviewee.Marc and I didthe bookend poses with Pete as Megsnapped away at her cam,I tell Petethat we are Mike and Marc Starckehoping he heard of us but just "oh'd"and smiled.(I think the APB has beenout on us no thanks to my stalkingemails to his assistant Nicola.Ofcourse I may be paranoid too haha).Pete's hands are big and he gave mea nice firm handshake(no I didnt kisshim as my brother did but now I wishI had.I wanted to know what thosewhiskers felt like lol).Nuther great moment with Pete waswhen he remembered my posterfrom the Florida show and thenlater he signed it and wrote a littlenote that said ' YOU NOTICED...I NOTICED. Pretty darn cool!!
