Please come to Dallas Mr. Hook! :)

I wonder where he would play in Dallas.

14 Aug 2005, 18:06

Hmmmm....well...he could play One...or Z's on Greenville...or anywhere off of Oak Lawn...

Kind of pissed to be in Miami on the 9th, am I? :cry:

15 Aug 2005, 08:06

I am so there for the 7th in Miami. The Pawn Shop is a great location.

15 Aug 2005, 08:56

Nicos...any idea when we can expect some more info on the Texas dates...I could see me following Hooky around the state, since that is about the time our remodel is supposed to be finished!!!

Got to see Hooky and Arthur Baker DJ at Mansion in South Beach for the WFTSC release party. Funny thing is was that Hook was just kind of standing around the stage before the show started (I managed to jump backstage when the bouncer wasn't looking). He was just standing there by himself, I couldn't believe it. I just walked up to him and said "Hi, Mr. Hook I am HUGE fan" and shook his hand. Stupid I know; but he was really nice and we ended up talking for about 15 min before Baker started DJing.

We talked about the new album, how much he liked working with Stephen Street, and about his rig during the JD days. He doesn't even have the same pedals anymore! He lost them or they were stolen; he can't remember. He loves Miami and was thinking about buying a condo in South Beach; I told him one was opening in my building and that if he needed to borrow a cup of sugar I'm his guy. He laughed at that.

What a fucking experience! I was on cloud nine for weeks after that.

I would love some info on the Texas dates. I can't find anything out though. :shrug:

Here you go (check the top message)

Anybody doing the Orlando date will PROBABLY have the unique chance to party with AgentWood! ;)

7 Sep 2005, 12:43

I'll be there for Orlando. And it's on Saturday night! (I work six days a week) Yep, the planets were definitely aligned for this one.

7 Sep 2005, 12:46

Holy flurking schnitt! I live in Denton, TX - a smallish college town just north of Dallas. I can't believe Hooky will be within the city limits - I better lock up the women! :ignore:

Thanks for that update Spotnik. :wink:

And are any of you from the DFW area going to be at the Denton set? If so let me know and I'll be there to buy you a beer.

Interesting...

Not sure if I should do Miami or Orlando.

Maybe both. :nod:

AgentWood, what/where is The Social?

it's a small venue in downtown(ish) orlando. i've never been there, but it's known for being the 'indie' venue in orlando. i've only been to three gigs since i've lived here (2 at house of blues and one at the convention center), so it should be interesting.

Guess who's flying in for the Noo Yoik show? :crazy:

Can't keep a good man down though.

And, nope, it's not me.

You're kidding me...?

For a DJ show? :eek:

8 Sep 2005, 09:45

I think if I remember correctly, The Social used to be Sapphire Supper Club and it is at 54 N. Orange Ave. - it's at the heart of the downtown scene, at the bottom of Orange Ave. in the downtown area - you can't miss it.

I've seen several shows there, sometimes inside, sometimes outside, I dunno what the plan is for Peter Hook though but I can tell you, an outside gig in October in Orlando might be nice so wherever it is, I'm sure people will be reprazentin'.

8 Sep 2005, 09:55

Does Hooky do autographs? :deal:
