Hiya! Thanks for the welcome.

Kate - I still listen to my Roswell music all the time, it was one of the more enjoyable aspects of the show for me.

I don't know that myself or my friends will ever be entirely over it either.

I won't say much about the special features - just that if you are a Shiri fan it's good.

I'm still bummed that none of the gag reels made it to the DVDs! Seeing them online is not as good as the real thing.

Gag reels and extra scenes that were shot and not included...high on my list would have been Jim and Amy chaperoning the Senior prom (in the eraser room! ) .

Here's a bit of sad news. Sadler played here a while back and I always hoped maybe I'd get to see her play there "next time". Not going to be any "next time" now...at least,not at CBGB's.

NEW YORK - Hilly Kristal opened CBGB's in December 1973, envisioning a home on the Bowery for country music. And then the punks took over. The Ramones. Blondie. Talking Heads. Television.

They all launched their careers on the cramped stage at Kristal's low-maintenance club, which became the mid-1970s epicenter for a musical revolution and still rocks on three decades later.

But it may be time for the last (slam) dance at the storefront bar with its familiar white awning. The club's lease expires on Aug. 31; a longstanding rent dispute could persuade the landlord, the Bowery Residents' Committee, to shut down the venerable birthplace of punk and find a new tenant.

Negotiations were ongoing over the new lease, with high-profile rockers Little Steven Van Zandt and Blondie's Debbie Harry coming to the aid of Kristal and the club. And although CBGB's won a recent court decision regarding its back rent, there's no guarantee that a new deal will be reached.

For now, the club's walls remain covered with band stickers and posters testifying to CBGB's long musical legacy. And even if it goes out of business, the club with its capacity of 350 people provided years of memorable moments.

On the other hand, as the late New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders once observed:

"You can't put your arms around a memory."

How is everyone doing?

It's my 3rd wedding anniversary today. Do you remember when did Bill and Marni get married?

Berengaria · 08-24-2005, 12:24 PM

Congratulations,Bency. Hope you have a lovely day.

Ms Carolyn · 08-24-2005, 03:33 PM

Hi, Bency! Congratulations!

Bill and Marni's anniversary is in May or June -- sorry, I can't remember the date! But I do know that they met on July 3rd, 1976, and married either the next year or the year after that.

Berengaria · 08-24-2005, 09:52 PM

I would have been married 4 years and living in LA by then. Ben having just joined the Navy and that being his first duty assignment. 1976....a very good year.

I was born in 1978.

Berengaria · 08-27-2005, 01:45 AM

So was my oldest daughter...so I would consider that a VERY good year.

Ms Carolyn · 08-28-2005, 07:52 PM

Bency, you're a sweet girl to hang out here with us old farts!

Berengaria · 08-28-2005, 09:09 PM

Bency can tell "young at heart" when she sees it!

Besides,she's just

that way.

wanderer78 · 08-29-2005, 08:39 AM

You guys aren't "old farts" at all! I

hanging here when I can.

Glad to hear you avoided the new hurricane, Kate.

Pav, I didn't know that about your anniversary! Congratulations!

Berengaria · 08-29-2005, 09:06 AM

thanks,wanderer,that's always nice to hear.

I love hanging out on the boards because I find most of the posters to be fun and good-natured. I know it's a good group who swings by here.

blondiebluegirl · 08-31-2005, 12:27 AM

congrats Bency

Berengaria · 08-31-2005, 04:24 AM

How did you meet your husband,bency?

I believe Bill was performing in a Shakespeare in the Park thing and he was walking home afterward and saw a pretty girl with some friends sitting on a stone wall. They had just seen the play. He walked over to talk to them....and the rest is pretty much Sadler family history.

Ms Carolyn · 08-31-2005, 06:04 PM

Yep, Bill met Marni in Central Park on July 3, 1976. They were watching the bicentennial fireworks.
