By now, you all know about the storm that took down the stage at Rocklahoma
that Reckless was playing on
...
Fortunately, we never made it out of our hotel ... we were supposed to play at 11pm Sat. nite between Lita Ford & Warrant but at about 7pm our crew sent us a photo that showed our stage in shambles! So we just opened a bottle of tequila ...when that was finished we went across the street to Mr Lucky's Bar & Grill.
Joe and Chris got up and sang and once the people new we were supposed to be playing at Rocklahoma but had no stage... everyone started buying us drinks ...
We rocked Mr. Lucky's 'til closing...(with a brief break at midnite for a meeting w. the Retrospect Records promoter) -- the Tulsa folks were the BEST!!
They were so very supportive-- they just kept buying us drinks and having us sign their tees, bras and boobs ;-) -
a good time was had by all- after we closed that place
the partycontinued with Alibi at the hotel 'til 6am or 7am AND then a call at 11am to come and play-- a stage had been set up in the beer tent --Yikes! I can't sit up yet ! Let alone play-- the promoter kindly put us on at 8:40pm and I proceeded to eat Tylonal, Tums, Coffee , Gatorade & Burger King -- a true breakfast of Champions.
Anyway we played a good show - no one fell off the stage ;-) -
and I posted some new photos from the performance--although not from the "big" stage -its still quite a memory--
AND as soon as i get the photos from MR Lucky's I'll def post them -- there's gonna be some fun shots from there!

KUDOS to the crew and the promoters for getting 3 stages set up over nite so that the show could go on!

cheers

Since I was on vacation and out of any loop of real "news", I hadn't heard about the OK storm that ruined your gig. Sounds like you certainly made up for it @ Lucky's Bar and Grill! I hope you went ahead and bought a round of AquaNet for everyone, just for good measure.
;-P
Great story and thanks for sharing it! Happy that it all sort of worked itself out after all!
