Yeah, go to the Pete Townshend forum instead.

You can't be old Val, you go to rock concerts and everything.

[superval99]

Thanks, dusty!    You're a great diplomat.   I did do the 100 metre sprint to the front in Amsterdam too!    and Mr Val and I climb 10,000 ft mountains every year in the Alps without the aid of lifts, etc, so I don't feel too geriatric just yet!

Thanks Julio for all the info.  I just wish I could be there tomorrow morning.  I hope there will be something about the event on TV or in the newspapers.   If anyone from here is going, PLEASE take some pictures, or even a video!   

BTW Julio, how did you get the blue plaque? 

[Banjo99uk]

I mailed PRS and asked the score about attending, got this reply.

ROFL Val, yeah you might be a bit older then most of the people here, but you have shown that you and Colin are still young in your heart and are an example for many of us here! 

For the people who can go tomorrow, I wish you a great time and please don't forget to make a video or pictures!

Btw When it will be in the news, which channel will probably broadcast it, any idea?
