Anyone else planning on being there the first couple weeks of June ?

And that darn Peter Noone -- have seen himseveral times and I am still trying to figure out how a guy whose records I bought when I was in grade school -- still looks 10 years younger than me easily. Somewhere there is a picture aging ala Dorian Gray

I have seen them on the festival circuit here about 5 or 6 times - always a good show -- but I'll still take that MANIAC Paul Revere......even without Mark Lindsay singing lead

And Labuda, if you don't use your credit cards, how are we going to pay for our trip?

Paul is a maniac..you have the correct word and they have a wonderful show that just makes you smile. So, for any of you that will be in WDW during the time they're there, don't miss their show. It's well worth the wait and time taken out of touring the parks. I'm confident you'll leave with a smile on your face!

I saw them back in 1967. (Oh my, am I THAT old?!?)

This year I am renewing in February. When are the block out dates for summer starting? Please, no bad news. I'll hold my breath....

He stayed after and signed autographs -- stil have the signed sweatshirt - as did the whole band -- many of which have been with him for almost 25 - 30 years as I am sure you know. I was so impressed with him as a performer and a person, it was truly refreshing. BTW -Peter Noone as here that same year and also a 1st class guy ( not a maniac) - but put on a much 'cooler' set than one would expect from Herman's Hermits.... To be that cool at 68 -- tell him he is an inspiration to me ( and others ) not to whine about being 50 --
