Leave early tomorrow for Edmonton for our gig at Amiskwacîwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ in Treaty Six Territory, or The River Cree Casino as it's known to most. This gig is with Aldo Nova. A lot of people don't realize this, but Aldo sang background vocals on GOOD TO THE LAST DROP and NO, he won't be doing that Saturday! LOL.
Meanwhile, we just keep selling tickets to the 1st HELIX BACKYARD BARBECUE. Troy Koontz is helping out that day by manning the barbie. We'll also have pop & chips on hand, but no booze. However, you can bring your own as long as you can behave. Get out of hand-yer out of there. We're asking everyone to bring their own lawn chairs. Parking is only on the street (Little Grey). No one is allowed to park in the driveway (except me and the boys!) or go in the house. There will be a port-o-pot on site.
Randy will be there with the new merch that day as well. We have the new 50th Anniversary shirts designed by Studio 73 Digital Media Jay Panaseiko, the new ROCK YOU shirts with "50 Years of Rock and Roll" between the horns, HELIX key chains & zipper pulls made from classic HELIX picks, my new vinyl album "ITS A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS", HELIX patches, and the two 3D Printed figurines of myself and a mythical "Heavy Metal Love". The figurine of moi sings the beginning of ROCK YOU. We're thinking of personalizing each for an extra $20.00. Example: Judy buys a Brian Vollmer Rock You figurine which sings the chorus for ROCK YOU. At the end of the chorus I put a personal greeting or something like, "You rock Judy!" or whatever the person wants, as long as it's not a book.

Lastly, a big GET WELL to our biggest Windsor fan Brian Denomme. Yer the best buddy!
