To my sons 50th BD party. How on earth did this happen? He's in good shape, but I get a kick out of him having more gray than I do. Party is to happen at a resort in Islamorada, no chance we will miss this. Probably will have a chance to party with my Ex. Good times, will be much mild misbehavior!

Foo Fighters playing?

I had not thought of that, but entirely possible. David brought his whole band, tour bus and all, to his wedding to perform a show. The Big 50 is a pretty big deal, so it's possible. My other son lives 6 miles from Dave, maybe a good road trip? Pictures to follow, but it's not till 7/22.

I'm not sure it could get any cooler than to have the Foo Fighters play your 50th birthday party!

Considering that the first drum set David played was my son's, maybe he feels that he might owe him something?

In reply to gearheadmb: Ah, no. But I'm sure that if you happen to wander in to the Kon Tiki Resort, Mile marker 81, Islamorada, on 7/22, you will be welcome. I expect that there will be a pleasantly noisy bunch of us.

Just an old guy with a lot of interesting stories and experiences. And a pretty cool family. Thank you.

Wait... so fellow GRM'er CWH is somehow related to one of my personal heroes... Dave Grohl?

That is pretty berking awesome. Wow.

Yeah, cwh is Dave's uncle. I thought everyone knew that. He's our board link to actual celebrity. Also, my dad peed next to Larry Csonka once, so there's that, too.

Yeah, Dave is my sister's son. We have all been kinda close for a long time, even way before he went big time. He really did play drums for the first time in my living room in 1979. My sons go to his shows a lot, back stage and all that.

So did FF play the birthday bash? Inquiring minds want to know.

Unfortunately no, but good messages were sent.

So I guess this means that now our only shot at an exciting follow-up story in this thread is down to JG and Larry Csonka's potty habits.

Maybe I will bring some signed photos to the Challenge. You know, to help fund the car.

Maybe Dave can do music for the challenge? That'd certainly bring a lot of attention to it!

My Honda Accord salesmen told me he went to high school with Larry Csonka. I told it won't be long when young people will be responding; who?
