Never heard of rodney parker and his pesos...Until I saw them perform this weekend in Belgium... what a revelation!
They've got a new fan! ;D At least one!
btw, anybody knows the dude who sold the cd's?

Hey, great to hear that. I'm glad he's getting some female fans.
I'm not sure who that might have been. It may have been the booking agent that set up the shows in Belgium. Usually, its Brooks, the bass player who is at the booth selling discs.

I can see the Pesos running through the streets of Belgium being followed by the authorities in small compact cars with French police sirens. They are running through a sidewalk cafe and the cops hop the curb and people scramble from their tables as the cars blow through. The Pesos round the corner and there's a guy w/ a stick of Mentos on the other side. Everyone keeps running except Danny who quickly turns around, takes a Mento, calls it the "Freshmaker", and the guy holding it gives a thumbs up and Danny catches up to the rest of the gang. They run into Filip from the show on the 3rd and he notices they are in trouble so he grabs his buddies Guy, Henri, and Jean-Luc...they offer up their Vespas, the Pesos get away to the train station. They quickly get on the first train out of Brussels as the cops are just entering the station. They ask around for a group of frazzled-looking Americans. One witness said one had a long guitar and another with a broken string but he didn't get a look at their faces. From there, they connect to Antwerp and meet up w/ some Flemish dude with a boat that only speaks in Euro and francs, if you still have any...they sail up the river, into the North Sea and escape to the Netherlands. Whew...it was quite an adventure for the Pesos...tune in next week to find out how they get out of Holland...

Queenie, thanks for the nice post, which is a refreshing change here (just kidding, peso-posters). The guy selling the merch was probably Greg, depending on which night you saw us. He was the merch guy we brought with us from the states. Why do you ask? Do you need to get a hold of him?

He was the merch guy we brought with us from the states. Why do you ask? Do you need to get a hold of him? I saw you guys this saturday... and I'm still recovering off all the greatness I heard!  I had the time of my life... hoping you come to Belgium again... soon! I wanted to buy a CD from you guys... and I talked to the merch-guy (who was very nice I must say), and then he had to leave... before I even got the chance to ask for a cd... I asked some woman from the organization later on... but she didn't know where to find the CD-guy... So I went home without a cd!  to bad! Never the less... I still had the time of my life! ;D thanx! |

Man, that truly sucks you didn't get a record. I'm sure if you ask nice enough, the guys will be able to hook you up.
Baron? Is that you? Its been so long? My eyes and mind deceive me these days? I'm so cold...
