| When Debbie Met Tico
Early June, 1998 Last night Heather and I went up to see Tico play a reunion concert with a band he used to be in called T Roth and Another Pretty Face. Here's what happened.... It was at a place called the Soundgarden in Lodi, NJ...a nightclub. Once we found the place, we went inside and had a drink and waited for them to come on...show started at 11 pm. Just before 11, we spotted some people we knew. We stood right up against the stage...a very small one at that...we were about 5 feet in front of Tico. We had no idea what to expect from this show since we had never heard of the band before, but we had a great time. Tico was amazing on the drums, I just couldn't stop watching him, besides that, every time I looked at the singer, I couldn't help myself from laughing...Tico looked really great...and was in a good mood. He smiled at Heather and I while he was playing...and during a break between songs, the four of us yelled out his name, and he gave a big wave and laughed. The lead singer of the band seemed a little bit wacko, but there were a lot of fans of the band there (just as crazy as us BJ fans) ...and I have to say, we got a really scary picture of how we are all gonna look in 20 years at a Bon Jovi reunion concert (that is if the boys will hang on that long for us! LOL) We had to crack up at all these ppl...they were absolutely hysterical...*wink to Heather on the lady dancing by herself ROFL* The show ended at about 1 am. After the show was over, we went out to the side of the club to find Tico...he was inside another place talking to a lot of ppl with the rest of the band....we tried to get in, but weren't allowed...so we waited. Finally at about 2 am, Tico came out to us. He signed autographs, and then I asked if he would mind taking a pic with me and he said of course come on over...anyway, we got our stuff signed, pics taken, chatted for a few minutes with him, and he went back inside. And that's it! |
