I kicked my poker buddies out of my house at 11PM to try and catch Harry (who I thought would be the only Reinhart there) and it would have been at 11:30 PM if I called to let you know that Haley just showed up at PS PUB. Would you have been awake then? She took the microphone at about midnight for about 15 minutes and then left.

What a fabulous night with all 4 Reinharts plus I won big playing poker which helped pay for all the Jets Pizza, Portillos chopped salad, Costco salad, munchies, beer, drinks and my wife made a Splenda apple pie and a double layer cake for the 9 poker players.

^ It's a great life Captain Dinkens...

"The get was good...and she got it!" The gig is good!

Yeah! How exciting. Thank you so much Steve for sticking your neck out to get all the info and set it up, you're making this whole thing possible (with the Reinharts of course). Thank you.

Edit to add: I'll arrive late evening (8:30) on Friday, and leaving about that same time on Monday. If anyone is arriving around that time, I'm very happy to give you a ride in my rental car- which I haven't booked yet, looking for a good coupon. I'd like to say I'm willing to share a room with someone, but I need my alone time, especially since I'll be in a lot of crowded spaces during this trip, LOL!

This SHINDIG is a definate go folks!! Haley sang 4 songs at PS PUB tonight with Harry & Patti and the Graduate Angie was jivin' to the fabulous music of Traffic Jam! I timed it perfectly after kicking my poker buddies out of my house at 11 PM in time to make it over to the second set of their gig. I walked in and Haley was standing right next to me. She got there about a half hour earlier. She gave me a big hug and we talked (shouted) over the music about our plans for Labor Day weekend. She's game! Patti then walked in and stood right next to me and we chatted thru two of the songs. Harry announced again that Midnight will be backing up Haley Saturday night August 31st in Buffalo Grove. Haley sang "Hey Joe", a song she sang in Vegas (not one of the regulars but I forget the name),"Son of a Preacher Man", and probably the best version I've ever heard her sing of "HOTRS". After the set ended Haley & Patti came up and said that Sunday would probably be the best time for a party that they could attend. Haley will be busy with other commitments the rest of the time but Sunday looks open. Haley gave me a hug goodbye as I was mentioning Hawaii (she said "I'll be writing") and then Angie was standing there chatting away with me. They are a family that is never shy to give a hug. On my way out Haley was outside and she gave me a big wave and a super smile and said "Bye Steve" from across the parking lot. As I got in my car HOTRS was playing from my ipod in my car and I turned up the volume as I passed Haley & Patti. Silly me didn't think to bring my good video camera, I only had my cellphone for some photos of The Reinharts singing together which I'll download and post in the morning.

So bottom line: this Labor Day Party Weekend is a go for sure.

HIMM:You're the most lucky man on Wheeling !!!!CONGRATS¡¡¡¡

Fun, Fun Night!! Glimpse of things to come.

^^Those are two wonderful videos!! Haley's voice is in fine form and the band sounds tight. I really love the smokey quality that Patti's voice has.

(By the way, I am as sick as a dog right now and only got up to check Haleyfans. I'm going back to bed now.)
