Speed Bag Truck tour dates! US and Europe!

[spinsmashpop]

I wil be with Foreigner for through April. Here are the dates. Hope to hook up with some more baggers out there! Speedbag, will you be able to make any of these TX dates? Hope so! Looking forward to baggin' with ya!
Tim and I have now hung out for 2 days. We got an hour or more bagging in
the Truck today with 2 platforms set up..... Time has some insane 4 way elbow combos going....
And tomorrow we hook up in Silver Springs with Skunk.
It's a daytime show so we may be going back to Skunk's that night for some baggin'! Suday is off so we can hang some more.
I gotta remember to turn on the Flip Cam and video.... today was a little hectic and we just started bagging going for it. Tomorrow we should be more responsible withe the cameras. Although I do think Tim's wife Carol filmed a bit.
Here are the Foreigner dates. Just send me a Private Message and we'll hook it all up to meet at the show.....
But, I don't know for sure if I'll have the platform in Europe. I will certainly try.....
BAG ON!

Sat 20 MELBOURNE, FL - King Center For Performing Arts


That's about an hour from Orlando :)

For all that haven't been - the speed bag truck (not to mention seeing Foreigner perform live) is a guaranteed good time. Everybody loves the speed bag truck, we brought someone else into the speed bag obsessions just last night. All it took were a few punches and she's determined to put a platform up in the garage now.

What time you guys rollin into Ameristar? If its cool I would like to hang w/ you guys the whole time I just got out school, and don't have a job. So that day is clear. I might have to leave for an hour or so that night, but I'll be back.

Hey BT! So your in Germany in April, I have lot's of work planned in Germany, looks like I'll be there most weekends for the best part of 2010. I'm going to try and make your concert in Frankfurt Sunday 18th April. ;) Let you know when we're closer to the date.

[sparrky37]

also I'm looking to get a good ball and hook If someone can bring one to sell that would be great<)BL<)BL<)BL

Vegas, but no Reno. Seems to be the story of Nevada tour dates for most good bands. :(

Now that's a reunion I really hope happens for you. You and BT will have a grand time and It would be a first for the Forum.

ROCK & ROLL, bringing the world together....

It's in my diary! :D:D I'm going to make every effort to make this happen, even if BT doesn't have his truck it will be great to meet up with him. I'll be bringing my platform for him to sign.:D

I could make the February date to Vegas... I see the show is marked "Private"... are forum members welcome?

Tim...Yes, that's right. Man, it took me a few minutes to remember. Today was a long day including self driving from one gig to the next without even stopping at a Starbucks, baggin' at the show with Tim, Skunk and Ham'n Cheese, (Daniel, taught by Skunk). Then the show at 3 pm, then cruisin' to Skunk's town, grabbing some food, and then hittin' Home Depot for some plywood and 2x4's! The next 1-2 hours was spent building up the Speed Bag Porch! Just wait for Skunk's vid!

Sparrky, it will just be me. I may be there the night before, but I may fly home to CA for a day and a half off. We will plan on meeting in the mod afternoon though...
I'll PM you....

Sounds great... if I don't have a board, we should find a gym .....Or better yet, bring your platform and we'll find a wall at the gig to hang it to!

I won't have any to se. you need to order online at Titleboxing.com or Everlast.com. Or check out a few sport stores in your area. Call ahead and ask what bags they have.....and swivs...

I've been to Reno many times with many bands... Foreigner has been there....

Cool! Looking forward to it!

Usually Private means the artist is hired as the entertainment for a corporate type gig. They are not to the public. We don't get guest lists.
But, sometimes, we can walk people in the back to see the show....
Of course forum members are welcome by me! But I can't get them in without being a little covert!

My grandson Daniel who is an 8th grade percussionist and I will see Spin in San Antonio on the 12th. Daniel will get a great opportunity to see the pro drummer in action.

A BIG thank you to Spin and Alan for the Texas invitations.

[Tim]

Any of you guys that get on the truck, please SIGN the platform furthest from the door - anywhere you sign is fine, the drum or any place not already taken. That platform will be coming back to me , in March I think.
