Two Weeks Until the 4th Annual Melody Bar Reunion

Time flies. What was once months away is now right around the corner. The 4th Annual Melody Bar Reunion is February 27th at the Elk's Club in New Brunswick starting at 7 pm. Barring another crazy blizzard, it should be another glorious evening of revisiting, reliving and rejoicing a magical time in our lives, the many evenings spent at the Melody.

There will be dancing and drinking and all sorts of fun as we listen to the greatest music of the past. All the great DJ's, and yes Matt WILL be there.

This year we've managed to round up a few more lost Melody souls who will be making their first appearance, and I'm sure they will experience what we all did the first time we attended. A big smile and maybe even a tear or two.

As for the Elk's, well we drank them dry last year, so they will be much more prepared for us this time. We also stuffed their register for their charities, and I know we'll do the same this time.

We still need to try and get Cal and Steve to attend. Someone please track them down and let them know they should see what legacy their little club on French street has produced.

And we also need to get Tito Class to show up. He's in north Carolina last time I spoke with him. He shouldn't miss this either. Somebody please call him and get him here.

As usual, both the Hyatt and the Heldrich hotels are right near by our event and are ready to welcome hordes of Melodyites who would be best advised to end the night safely in a warm hotel room they can walk to, especially if they happen to be one of those who help drink the Elk's dry again. And don't forget the after party, which I was told was happening, but the details escape me. Check back here and on the facebook page, I'm sure the information will appear shortly.

Remember, our private event is 38 and up, with Big John the gatekeeper to paradise. We do not want the event overrun with non-Melody types, as occurred a bit too much last year. All are welcome to bring a spouse/partner as always. Bottom line is if you were a Melody regular anytime up to 1992, you'll get in right away, no waiting. There will be a line for "the others", and John will use his good judgement as to who among them gets in and when. If you are a regular and for some reason have a problem, just stay cool and we'll get you in. We all know who we are.

Final point, we are charging everyone one dollar at the door. This is to compensate Ed Wong who once again has graciously offered us the use of his great sound equipment, which without we'd have no party. And also to thank Big John who will be keeping a careful eye on the door for us making sure our private party stays private.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. I look forward to seeing you all and having a lot of fun again like we did a long time ago.

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
