The crowd was thin at Clancy's. I got there before Sharon. At break Peter asked where I have been. I reminded him I had recently seen them at Edgar's. Joel came over to talk. Bless his heart he tried hard to make small talk. I told him Sharon should be arriving any minute and he said "You mean my girlfriend?". He told me he and Sharon gone to see Alexis sing the night before. Sharon walked in and the hug & kiss fest began. Frank was standing near us and he likened them to Kip & Camille in the old days. I corrected the record and told him Kip & Camille were never like that. Frank then got his drink & toasted Joel & Sharon with "To Young Love". Quite a few familiar faces were there including Pete (D'Jais). Very noticeably missing was the annoying photographer. I finally got to see Charlie Brown's friend. I didn't see what the bruhaha was about. The song list was handwritten, not typed like it usually is. Brass in Pocket is still my favorite and a crowd favorite. After it Kip sang Cruel to Be Kind. Like they say on Idol, he owned it. Harry now does Secret Agent Man. Peter invited me to sing in his microphone during Run Around Sue. Sharon & I really cracked up at this. People would have fled the bar if I did, although I might have on a Stones song. I Got Your Number (written on the back of my hand) played during break. It brought back a ton of memories. I left early. Before I did I ran into Sementa again. He was wearing a BRIGHT green tee shirt. I reminded him how years & years ago he said he could not wear green because of the tint of his skin (and he never did wear it). He laughed. It reminded me of the skin cream he used to use on his face. One of the reasons this entry is so late is because I tried & tried to remember the name of it but couldn't. I bought it for him once in Macy's Herald Square. It was expensive & I think it was Swiss. After I was gone Peter asked Sharon why I left. Sharon told him it was a school night. He asked if I worked. So either I look wealthy or he thinks I make money writing this Blog. I got home at 1:00. It was fairly early so I stayed up & watched the eliminations on American Idol. I then go suckered into watching Skating with Celebrities. Poor Susan (Rutkowski). We went ice skating days later. She fell & broke her elbow & fractured a bone in her arm. *Thanks for the Joel well wishes. He's fine & back in the saddle again*

Good job on the Blog ! You can only read the old stuff so many times over ! Thank You Michele ! Barbara ~.~ !!
I really enjoy reading all the news on Holme. My name is Pattie Church and I was known as Pattie Homefrie from 1978 to about 1981. I live in Georgia now but this born & raised, Jersey girl longs to hop on a plane with her husband to see Kip and Frankie again! Would love to see Danny and Mark. You never mention Mark Mazur--AKA Major. I know he and his wife, Nancy and 2 kids live in NYC. I may give them a call. Glad to hear Danny is married--and happy! He is a very sweet guy! And Puggy......yes woulfd love to see eim! Saw Bobby Bandiera 3 months ago with Bon Jovi. Bobby saw and heard me too! Had a huge sign with his name on it-they put on camera and let him have a 1 minute guitar solo. He is too good not to be the lead singer! Had row 6 center so was able to get up to Bobby and gave him some pictures of him from 1978. They put that on camera too. Bobby looked great! Please say a big hello and kisses for me to Kip, Frankie and any of the rest that may show up. Pete would remember me from The Stone Pony as we went outside with him a lot! He is a great guy too! Harry too. I did not know Joel well. Hope to meet y'all down the shore-where everything's all right! I have books full of old pictures--even Kip's high school picture! Please put more pictures on this site!!!! Love to see Kip and Frankie!
