BCR AOL Alumni Board

Welcome to the BCR AOL Alumni Board! This board is for BCR fans who originally met through the now defunct AOL BCR board to reconnect and keep in touch. Visitors and newcomers to the BCR online world are welcome as well. Not necessarily a place for BCR news, just a place for friends and online fans to connect, particularly those who remember the days of the AOL BCR Board, iMusic chats, Tartan Heaven and the very first Rollerfests!

Subject: For da Mass. chicks Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:48:40 09/07/02 Sat Hey how many Mass chicks frequent this board? I'm gonna be out your way in a couple of weeks and would love to see some of ya's! How does the afternoon/early evening of Sunday 9/22 look? I'll likely be meandering somewhere between Warner, NH and Norwood, MA that day, so I'm flexible as to location as long as I make it to Norwood at a decent hour that evening! Meet up for pizza or something casual? Lemme know! Replies: Hi Connie :) I just might be able to do this, especially if it's in Norwood. I have find out from hubby what his work schedule is and check that against soccer games but I will keep you posted. Hopefully some of the other chicks will be able to hook up with us:) (NT) -- laura, 09:33:28 09/09/02 Mon How many Mass chicks does it take to screw in a light bulb? Ohhh the answers one could muster here! Connie I'll plan now to hook up as I'm free that day. Hopefully more of us will be too..drop an email so we can forward it around. It would be nice to have a day out with the ladies! (NT) -- ~Mary, 19:09:18 09/09/02 Mon Maaan! If it was ANY other day but the 22nd, I would say yes, but that happens to be the day that I am flying back to Ohio from New Hampshire. Guess the best that I can do is wave to you as I fly over.

Subject: icouldnt believe my eyes Author: kathi [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:16:23 09/01/02 Sun not from the old forum just found this one today can't believe what i have found thought I was the only one left...a reall flash from thepast. It only saddens me that this has been going on for so long and I didn't know about it. I was a tried and true die hard fan and never even crossed my mind that I should look on the internet...this is great and it looks like you all have a great time reliving a great part of your life...if you don't mind I am going to visist here often...kathi Replies: Always good to see a new old fan Kathi....glad you found us!!

Subject: Happy Bay City Roller Day!!! Author: Julz [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:20:37 08/24/02 Sat I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Bay City Roller day. : ) Even before there was AOL or the internet, every August 24th, I thought about the day the Rollers went to Bay City and got the key to the city in 1977. I guess it's the 25th anniversary too!!! So Keep On Rollin' babies!!! Julz Replies: wow...time sure does fly, can't believe it's been so long! happy bay city roller day to you too julz! :-) (NT) -- sandi, 06:41:37 08/24/02 Sat 25 years...wow. That means it's been 25 years since I saw Les, Eric, Woody and Derek at the Michigan State Fair too. I think it was the day before or the day after Bay City Roller Day, but the mind ages, ya know. I don't remember the date anymore. (NT) -- Becky, 17:42:10 08/25/02 Sun I remember the date...it was August 26, 1977...that's TODAY!!! I was there too! I'll never forget that day. Can't believe it's been 25 years! (NT) -- Cathy, 06:58:32 08/26/02 Mon I knew you'd remember, Cathy!! Glad to see you're still out there somewhere, LOL!! It was great seeing you and the kids when you stopped by. Stop in anytime, and we hope to make it to your place eventually! (NT) -- Becky, 04:20:25 08/27/02 Tue I finally made the trip across the state to Bay City (a few weeks before BCR Day) For those of you who told me there is not much there...you were right. But, I was not expecting much. Really all I did was drive directly to the City Hall and take a few pics. One of my sweety Bill Posing on the Steps. ~{Hey....he IS Scottish}~ I knew the building as soon as I saw it from across town. (NT) -- Luvlee~{andmymothersaidIwouldgrowup}~2cu Part 1, 08:55:54 09/02/02 Mon The City Hall is a gorgeous old Place. I could almost picture the guys all standing up on the Balcony gazing across the industrial little town ...thinking "What in the......We named ourselves after THIS???". I can see the elderly towns folk & curiosity seekers looking at all the screaming fans and then gazing back up at the guys....Thinking......"D@mn,That one has funny hair." I would have loved to have been there as a young kid. I am sure the view of the crowd below made up for the lack of scenic interest for the guys. (NT) -- Bay City pt 2, 08:58:49 09/02/02 Mon I had always pictured the balcony overlooking a scenic Courtyard...but instead it was just a little asphalt road. Oh well.... while on that side of the state I also stopped by and bought a box of the famous Krispey Kremes everyone raves about. They were wonderful and we made the trip into a fun little weekend jaunt we traveled through Ann Arbor on the way home and went by an old friends house. I had a great time...and now I can say...I have been there....Next stop Scotland!!! hehehehehe.... (NT) -- Bay City pt 3, 09:00:06 09/02/02 Mon I made the trip to Bay City to "site see" in November 1977. Had the cab driver take us to the wall, which was half covered in snow. I climbed up the snow drift and prompt;y fell in, earning frostbite on my feet for my efforts. Wish I had taken a picture of the wall that day. (NT) -- KathyF, 09:25:38 09/02/02 Mon

Subject: I gotta tell someone Author: Shaz [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:30:26 08/15/02 Thu I know this has absolutely nothing to do with BCR, but I had to tell someone. My husband was nominated for a national award (unbeknownst to him) by his company, and he has just been told he won it!! To accept the award we have to go to New Zealand next weekend (Aug 24-26) all expenses paid!!! I am so proud of him, and so excited about the trip. I know there are a few NZ fans out there, anyone near Taupo? Can you tell me what the weather/shopping/scenery is like. Shaz Replies: Congrats to your hubby, Shaz!! What kind of award was it? Hope you both have a great time in New Zealand! (NT) -- Connie, 08:28:20 08/16/02 Fri Thanks Connie, he was named Australian Furniture Removalist of the Year. (NT) -- Shaz, 04:45:11 08/17/02 Sat shaz, that's great news, congrats to your dh. and enjoy your trip :-) (NT) -- *erica, 15:43:06 08/21/02 Wed Shaz! So happy for you and Craig!!! Please give him a hug and Congrats for me!!! Have a great time in NZ matey!!! (NT) -- BcrDeb, 04:00:59 08/23/02 Fri Thanks for the good wishes guys.

Subject: At Julie's Request Author: mary f. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:46:42 08/15/02 Thu Okay, this has the teeniest, tiniest BCR thread to it: We were on our way home from lovely NC a couple weeks ago (ahhh, mountains, waterfalls, hiking...gotta love it), and when passing thru ohio I see a sign for a town by the name of "Kettering". It sparked a BCR memory for me. Anyone remember a gal (name escapes me) who was in ALL the fanbooks back in our youth from Kettering, OH? She used to run some sort of fanclub for a band called "Riva" which had SOME type of Roller connection. But WHAT was it?? I have completely forgotten. Who was Riva, and how are they connected to the BCR? Anyone else remember this young lady, or the band? Just wondering. Replies: Hi Mary -- I used to write a girl who was Marilyn & Les (although she went by Suzy & Les -- like myself). Anyway, she lived in Kettering. Riva kinda rings a bell but I can't remember anything. I know this is probably of no help to you. (NT) -- suzy, 10:03:46 08/15/02 Thu Lordy i used to write to her! But for the life of me i can't remember what riva was about, i'll have to dig up the old fan books i have and see if i can't find anything. (NT) -- Gina = ), 22:51:40 08/17/02 Sat omg, i remember her too msmary...micki newnam (or newman?). she got me pat's autograph a zillion years ago and told us all about riva and the mcglynns! IIRC, she was still signing fbs a good few years ago (i gave them up since they sat in a box)...but she was into someone else....i would have thought of her too passing by kettering!! (NT) -- *erica, 15:40:46 08/21/02 Wed Ooooooh -- I met Micki Newnam a few years ago. She is friends with Nicki Hillerich from Louisville. I'll have to tell Nicki about this board..... (NT) -- suzy, 05:22:04 08/22/02 Thu Hi ladies! -- Nicki, 09:53:07 08/22/02 Thu At Julie's Request -- Mickie Newnam, 22:42:19 08/22/02 Thu

Subject: I can't stand it anymore!!!!!!!!! Author: Julie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:19:45 08/15/02 Thu This is of no importance whatsoever, I just can't stand checking the board one more time and seeing that same post (no offense meant, please!)again!!!! Or is there something wrong with my system and that's just what I am showing? Someone please post something new!!!!! : ) Replies: I hear yah J. Me thinks it is the summer vacation/kids going back to school thing that is interfering with some people's right to post. I think we should protest, organize a sit in. ALL we are saying is... give peeps a chance. ( to post that is) (NT) -- Heather, 09:37:59 08/15/02 Thu I have noticed that when someone replies to a post further down the board, that message jumps to the top again. Maybe that is why the same message is there, or maybe everyone is too busy. (NT) -- Shaz, 17:50:22 08/15/02 Thu lol, i've seen the same posts at the top for ages too, but we were away last week and i am just now reading thru boards and such!!

Subject: Where is Cassie? Author: Shaz [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:53:56 08/15/02 Thu Okay, someone out there has to know where Cassie is at these days. I heard she moved back from Brisbane (Aust) to Michigan, but nothing else. Her website has no email details to contact her either. Can we send out the hounds to track her down??? Replies: I had a second e-mail addy for Cassie at boo_family@yahoo.com but I don't know if it's still active. (NT) -- Connie, 08:42:21 08/16/02 Fri FYI, There's an underscore there between "boo" and "family" but you can't see it because voy underscores the messages.... (NT) -- Connie, 08:44:02 08/16/02 Fri Thanks Connie, I'll try it too.

Subject: I think I'll go for a walk outside now, the summer sun's calling my name.. Author: ~Mary [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:20:42 07/19/02 Fri Connie I visited your links and you've done a fab job. Course I think permission for approval to posting some pics should have been forthcoming, but you'll be forgiven this time!! I have pics from our little pah-tay "Rollin" that I can send you so you can add them in if you'd like! Course most of the pics will be of the stripper we hired, but if you can't get a Roller to attend your event might as well hire someone attractive and in shape with a propensity to take his clothes off! Sounds like a win-win bit to me! I read your intro and was reminded of the days we had to pay for AOHell. Remember you'd get only so many hours and then we had to pay some obscene amount per hour after going over? Course everyone would go over just chatting and reading the AOL board. Then the AOL chat rooms had to be created privately due to some loony bin. Here's a question for you all that I think Connie can't be allowed to answer..Can you name the private room names that were created for chat?? (Connie can't answer as I think she created some!!) Sweet and Innocent... Duka Rulz! Replies: Can you name the private room names that were created for chat?? -- Julie, 11:06:42 07/19/02 Fri LOL..great job Julz and Bec! I always had problems with Shang'hai...never could remember if we needed the damn apostrophe! (NT) -- ~Mary, 23:18:22 07/20/02 Sat Ah, the days of the $200 AOL bills!!!! Ack! Now when I want to gripe about rising access prices I can look back on those days and think...hey it could be (and has been) worse! LOL! Yes Mary, please do send me some photos of Rollin' to post!! Thanks! :o) (NT) -- Connie, 12:54:58 07/19/02 Fri I dont see any SAL pics there either...if I can dig through some boxes here in the midst of this madness of a new home I will see if I can find my discs with loads of SAL pic of many of you oldies! BTW..Mary get the Rollin pics posted...dont think I have ever seen ANY from that event ( and I was there!) (NT) -- debby ;-), 09:38:08 07/20/02 Sat I've also got some SAL pics you can use. You know where to find me. :c) (NT) -- Nemesys, 13:43:56 07/20/02 Sat Duka Rulz? Hahahah Rulz what M? ;-) (NT) -- Debby, 15:34:47 07/19/02 Fri Rulz your life?? Hopes he rulz your life?? LOL I just knew by putting that you'd post....and it worked!! :-) (NT) -- ~Mary, 17:03:27 07/19/02 Fri Yes ~M in his mind Duka rulz me..and we let him just go on thinking that (makes for a peaceful marriage! LOL) Good tactic in getting me to post....you smart girl! ;-) WHEN are we getting together????????? (NT) -- Debby, 09:35:11 07/20/02 Sat Shanghaid and shanghaid 2 because the chatroom was too full for just one room.... (NT) -- Becca, 16:27:48 07/19/02 Fri Blimey Ms Skinner has posted, I have seen it all now!!! Its great to see all these names on here, spent last weekend reminicisng with Patsy about the "Good old days" when even a fest was in the imagination!

(NT) -- Debby, 09:36:15 07/20/02 Sat ~Mary, Debby....all the cool girls are rearing their heads, lol. Hey Connie, I used to have a few Rollin web pages up on the web and I am SURE they are still on my puter somewhere. (NT) -- KathyF, 10:29:02 07/20/02 Sat Hello Kathy F...one of the nicest I met at Rollin! (NT) -- Debby, 11:28:08 07/20/02 Sat That should read "nicest peeps" I met at Rollin! wow I need more caffeine.... (NT) -- Debby, 11:29:13 07/20/02 Sat Yes KathyF was one of the nicest peeps...I remember downing a bottle of Cointreau with her...better yet drowning in a bottle with her!! Just bring the Stoli next time Kath! Completely off-topic, but has anyone else seen Minority Report? Talk about disappointment with the one and only Tom. If you haven't seen it wait for video. If you have seen it enlighten me. I mean he's awesome to watch and all, but you can only watch for so long! (NT) -- ~Mary, 23:15:24 07/20/02 Sat Yeah I was disappointed by that film too. So, Stoli eh? Think I can handle that, lol. (NT) -- KathyF, 10:02:20 07/21/02 Sun Think it's going down better over here (UK) - we saw it last week and enjoyed it - but just trying to recall it and am having probs remembering what it was about!!!

LOL Been busy working on some other projects but will get back to posting more Fest pics eventually...in the meantime, those with pics of Rollin' and any other gatherings, send 'em my way! (NT) -- Connie, 17:52:53 07/20/02 Sat Ahhh yea I have New Orleans pics...remember all those Teddy Bears?? (NT) -- ~Mary(yet again!), 23:16:34 07/20/02 Sat Oh ya the Teddy Bears! New Orleans versions of scarecrows as I recall....or should that be scare-pigeons?? (NT) -- Connie, 19:24:48 07/22/02 Mon

Subject: NEW Online BCR Fan Database Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:55:46 08/04/02 Sun Dear Roller Fans: It's been far too long since the BCR Fan Database was last updated.....lots of unexpected changes in my life has left me with little time to spare for time-consuming side projects for the better part of a year. However, now that things have calmed down a bit, and have acquired some (very basic) HTML skills, I've decided it's time for a new on-line version of the BCR Fan Database. In the interests of privacy, the online version of the database will ONLY feature names, e-mail address, and city/state/country information, so that people can find and locate old friends and pen-pals as well as make new friends in their home area. If you have not received an e-mail from me in the past couple of weeks regarding the database, then either you were not listed on the last edition of the database, OR I do not have your current e-mail address. Therefore, if you would like to be included on the database, please send me the following: Name: (including maiden name) E-mail address you prefer to have listed: City and/or State you live in: Country: Other:* (Optional) *This is a category for random notes, such as if you want to find other Roller pals from a particular group such as "Rollerloonies", if you have your own BCR-related website or message board to invite folks to, or if you want to list your special "pen pal" nickname that you were known by back in the 70's. Please limit the information in this column to as few words as possible, as the information will be set up in a table format. Thanks for your patience during this long stretch between updates! Though lately I have found the majority of my time being occupied with "life" rather than fandom, the friendships I made because of the BCR are something I will always cherish. And although our busy lives often take us in opposite directions, I don't want to lose touch with these special friends and I'm sure others feel the same. The database is my way of hopefully helping people who found each other through the BCR to keep in touch. I hope it helps you keep up with old friends as well as find some new ones. -Connie

Subject: Searching?? Author: ~Mary [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:47:59 07/30/02 Tue Hey all Has anyone posted or going to post about the last weekend? Or are there posts somewhere that I am missing? There's nothing re:the Blast on Duncan's board though some posts about the new CD which is awesome I might simply add. Is there another board? Replies: Hey ~Mary-the-scarfer -- there are a lot of posts over on the Rollerblast message board. Everyone should go there to check it out. In short, we had a great time, AWESOME music, lots of laughs, a nice intimate group so you could really talk with other peeps. Kathy, Lorraine, Cheryl, Tanya, JAnz you all rock! Duncas was fabulous as always. Can't wait to get his CD! (NT) -- wendee, 10:35:51 07/30/02 Tue Thanks Wendee! Off to go take a peek! "Scarfer" sounds a helluva lot better than stripper!!

Subject: California Alumni Fest Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:17:36 07/11/02 Thu < >> Well Cat, glad ya asked...I have a question to pose to y'all. See, we were originally thinking of doing it April 4-6 because Easter is on April 20th. Which means the weekend after April 4-6 (which is April 11-13...are you following this?) is the beginning of Easter Week, for those with kiddies who have the week before Easter off from school! Now, we've run into some potential attendee conflicts with the weekend of April 4-6. So....my question is this. Does the fact that April 11-13 is the beginning of Easter week make it a *good* weekend, or a *bad* weekend for folks? Good in that it's easier to bring the family and make it a longer vacation for all, or bad in that you'll have to rush home after the weekend to watch the kids? Or do you really not care either way because a) you don't have kids or b) you would only stay the weekend either way? My main concern with April 11-13 is that (being the start of Easter week) it would probably mean more crowds, and possibly higher prices for hotel rooms. Then again, every weekend in April is part of Spring Break for SOME school or another (seems the colleges all do Spring Breaks different weeks now) so maybe it really doesn't matter one way or another! Considering all of the above, which is a better weekend for most? April 4-6 or April 11-13? Lemme know your thoughts! Oh, and I should let you know that at the moment the preferred location is the Sheraton Universal...which is not only part of Universal Studios and the Universal CityWalk shopping mall, but has a bit of Roller history as the lads actually stayed there! Which makes it a good "first stop" on our planned tour of famous L.A. Roller-related sites! :o) Now, if someone can just tell me where Sharon has gotten off to...no fair dragging me into this and disappearing, woman!!!! Your butt's gonna be right here in the hot seat with mine!! LOL! Replies: Hey!!! Cat's quote "whens the tentative date for that california fest connie?" was supposed to be a part of that message! Guess I'd better review my Message Board Posting 101 manual....:oP (NT) -- Connie, 19:19:06 07/11/02 Thu ooh, i didnt know you could do quotes from other messages, cool. either of those weeks are fine for me, connie (NT) -- cat, 09:59:35 07/12/02 Fri Hey Cat! That means we may get to hang again soon! It's been too long since i've seen your smiling face. Wish you were going to Blast. Maybe Dunc's will do a gig or 2 while they're out here. L.A's not too far! (NT) -- Brat, 11:11:38 07/12/02 Fri Well, you already know April 11-13 works better for me, so let me publicly cast my vote. (NT) -- KathyF, 12:48:58 07/12/02 Fri April 11-13 is my first choice though I'll still come if it's the other weekend. Just found out today that my in utero roller fan is a GIR! yay! I'll be happy to bring her to the fest too ;-) (NT) -- Colleen (aka wylma), 15:00:02 07/12/02 Fri Woo hoo!!! A sister for Lady Vi! :oD Congrats again!

Did I tell y'all that the kids and I are coming to Disneyland July 23-31? WOuldn't you know it- I think Brat is gonna be away at Rollerblast then!! Waahhhhh.... (NT) -- Helen, 12:34:33 07/13/02 Sat Hi, Connie! I prefer the earlier weekend in April, for exactly the reasons you describe. We usually go away over Easter w/my husband's kids and end up being gone both weekends w/them, since they don't live w/us and we don't get to see them much. I'm dying to do this CA thing, esp. since my Aussie pals down under are going to try to come too!! (NT) -- LauraR (who is carrying a boy - due in 8 weeks!!), 03:34:25 07/16/02 Tue That is most definitely the plan - and all you guys will you be bringing the new babies along as well. It's been years since I had anything to do with babies. I think I've forgotten most of it. April the whatever suits me. Can we please have a show of hands for all the Aussies planning on coming. I heard a whisper from another Aussie who isn't called Sonia or Aly. SuzanneR, Sharon, got any plans for next April????

Is there anything there worth seeing?? Any "must do's" around there?? It does not even have to be Roller related. I have been told the mural is long gone and nothing remains of the Rollers to see.

I too am in the beautiful SW part of the state. Bill & I like to watch sunsets from the bluff & walk on the beach. We can see the lighthouse on Silver Beach from the bluff. I am a lighthouse fanatic so for me that's pretty kewl! On the 4th we watched the fireworks over the Lighthouse...that along with the lights from boats bobbing in the water made it an awesome display.

Subject: The R&R Hall Of Fame Author: DEE [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:07:59 07/14/02 Sun I just got back from Ohio & my hardrive had gone out so I lost all my email addys. So BETSY could you please resend your addy? LAURA: yes I remember you! Don't worry about the SAL pics I am trying not to be a packrat anymore. OK the R&R HOF was totally cool! From the early stuff like Little Willie John down to Green Day it was great. I loved seeing some of the B-52s outfits, Jon Bon Jovi's long leather coat from the NJ tour, his school ID card, the whole John Lennon exhibit was really good. Yoko loaned them tons of stuff. Johns Rickenbacher, their church pew bed, his Sgt. Pepper jacket, his leather jacket he wore in Hamburg, too much stuff to list. But they only had 2 BCR things: Erics roller gear from 75, the white pants & jacket w/ the red tartan trim. W/ the "E" on the front pocket & "Eric" on the back & his platform shoes. Then they had a 16 mag w/ the original group standing in front of a ladder w/Eric holding an orange tabby cat. They have a big gift shop w/ so many diff. style shirts it was hard to choose. Courtney got a set of black drum sticks w/ the HOF stamped on them in silver. Oh & her hair is green & blue now. Anyway if you are w/in driving distance I would recommend going to the HOF & checking it out. ESP. if you are really into music history, its a must see. I plan on going again next year b/c the exhibits are always changing. Boy its weird seeing all these names from when I first got online, "Hi" to all of you! Dee formerly Itsagame77. Replies: Isn't the R&R Hall of Fame cool? Was there probably 5 years or so ago and one other BCR thing they had there at the time was a display of a number of 16 magazines where they were all on the cover. The description read that the BCR held the record for being on the most covers of 16 - even to that date (who has that record now? N Sync, Maybe?)

Subject: my favorite fest memories... Author: cat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:01:47 07/11/02 Thu hey mary, thanks for the idea! i have so many favorite memories from different fests, where do i start? well, my first fest was Fest West at colleen's in jan 98. it was awesome to meet the BAGs and we always have a good time at the bay area gatherings, the time sharon came all the way from toronto and we went dancing at polly esthers was a blast. SAL was my first big fest and the whole weekend was just fantastic. i just remember all of us hanging out in the bar, i remember shooting pool with lori s while watching woody on tv, meeting all the HOs for the first time and of course seeing woody and duncan play together was so cool...the vibe at that fest was special and stayed with me for awhile. edinburgh fest was so great, its such a beautiful city and i really loved the ghost tour we took, a tartan ghost jumped out at us! and at liverpool fest by far my most favorite memory is of taking pictures with kitten's digital of zoe (dont kill me zoe but you are hilarious) in a shall we say compromising position with a certain carved wooden leprechaun in the bar of the hotel. of course others saw and bedlam ensued...i nearly wet myself. i knew when i saw that statue the night before that it was trouble, hahaha. we are a raucous bunch, arent we? and as always major kudos to the hard-working fest crews who make all this debauchery possible :) miss hanging with everyone. wish i could see duncan in virgina, his shows are always so good, rollerblast sounds like its gonna be, well, a blast so cheers to everyone attending! whens the tentative date for that california fest connie?

Subject: Duncan gigs Author: Becky [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:26:09 07/10/02 Wed I see that more gigs are being posted on Duncan's website. Isn't it exciting to have him back in the states playing his great music? Not only do we get to see him at the Rollerblast, but we will be able to catch at least one more show that I know of (Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA.) since we'll already be in the area!! I hope to see some of you at the shows! Replies: Oh no, I will be missing the Jammin' Java show by one day!! Oh well, I am sure Rollerblast will make up for it ;-) (NT) -- KathyF, 19:43:01 07/10/02 Wed

Subject: Favorite "Fest" memory? Author: mary f. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:59:25 07/05/02 Fri Happy 4th all! Since Connie's been kind enough to post photo memories of the various fests over the years, Just curious what everyone's favorite fest memories are. Not necessary your favorite gathering, per se, as I'm sure that would be hard for some. For instance I have snippets of memories from various gatherings that can still bring a smile no matter what. Bay City fest: seeing others "like me" for the first time and just being totally overwhelmed by it. Les' Show in 96 (I think?) in Shaumburg, ILL (tho not a "fest" - actually)what fun that whole thing was! Great show overall, and cramming I don't know HOW many of us in one hotel room. Vegas: Ha! Coming home on the flight from hell w/ Cathy and Becky (tho NOT a good experience at the time!) And although totally UN-bcr related, the Sammy Hagar concert *right* before we were due to leave. New Orleans: The show at Tipitina's (spelling??)was so cool, and the night a group of us all went out together on the town just walking club to club. Just plain old fun. Anyone else? Replies: Aw darn, my message is too long to fit in the subject line.... -- Becky, 03:26:53 07/08/02 Mon Bec stop your giving me flashbacks! The party in Philly is legendary babe,, BTW it was Jacs room we had the party (i forgot who else roomed with here, it was like a revolving door in there) and don't forget about me boing your "bodyguard" in vegas = ) ahhhhhhhhhhhhh flashbacks..............help me!!!! (NT) -- Gina = ), 17:03:53 07/08/02 Mon How could I forget how you protected me on those mean city streets, Gina? (NT) -- Becky, 10:55:30 07/09/02 Tue LOL Yeah and if you ever get your behind down to chicago i promise to protect ya here...................HINT!!!!!!!! (NT) -- Gina = ), 16:19:53 07/09/02 Tue One of these years, Gina...one of these years. In the meantime, where are everyone else's favorite 'fest memories? I'm interested in reading them if anyone is still around. HELLO!!?? (NT) -- Becky, 18:34:23 07/09/02 Tue

Subject: Chat? Author: charlie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:28:20 07/09/02 Tue Hey! Is there a scheduled BCR chat these days? I would love to join in!

Subject: Any former RollerLoonie members.. or Canadian BCR fans? Author: June [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:14:53 07/08/02 Mon Soooo great to find a site, with so many fans who remember the Rollers when they were at the height of their popularity. Never was a closet fan... was proud to say I liked their music, simple and fun. An 'innocent' time. My fingers practically numb from trying to get thru to radio station contests to "meet them in Toronto", and actually getting to meet them a couple of years later in Philly. Ahhh youth!! Looking to talk with anyone who went to Shang A Lang in Toronto a couple of years ago... also any RollerLoonie fans, and Canadian fans too. Would love to find out where there are any upcoming Fan Fests. Used to go by the moniker "Woody's Woman". Love this site!!! Sincerely, June Replies: Hi June, there are alot of us Canadian BCR fans. Did you also go to SAL? What a great party! (NT) -- DelsCat, 18:47:58 07/08/02 Mon

Subject: Misty eyed Downunder Author: Shaz [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:26:32 06/23/02 Sun I wasn't an AOLer either, but was around at the same time. IMusic, TartanHeaven (anyone hear from Cassie??), Connie's fan database, the gutter slides, the trout......what great memories. I was even part of a recipe ring with some of you, lol. Great to see you all, Connie you are an amazing woman (again) to think of this. I can't believe there are new babies around, congrats to all and good luck. I can also relate to the 'I the centre of the universe' 15 year olds. I'll bookmark this board and come back often to catch up. Replies: Hey, Shazfly, you were the first person I ever got in contact with back in 1998. Can't believe that was four years ago. (NT) -- Sonia, 20:45:45 06/26/02 Wed Hey Sonia, been meaning to respond to your emails (camping etc) but just so busy at work and too wiped out at night to turn the purter on.

(NT) -- Shaz, 17:42:36 06/27/02 Thu WOW, congratulations. I used to feel proud if we won. We did once but only because the other team had to give us 3 goals because one of them didn't have the correct uniform on. That was the one and only time. Still I used to enjoy it, till I did my ankle in. Melissa has just broken her arm for a second time in 3 years rollerblading.

Subject: Kewl idea. Great to see everyone. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Author: Weezy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:04:34 07/03/02 Wed Hi everyone! Has it really been 5 years since I first moved from Bay City Roller searches to actually dubbing myself Weezy & venturing into the world of Tartan Heaven? Seems impossible and so much has happened since. I remember at that time trying to unsuccessfully cajole a friend of mine into going to Absolute Rollerfest in Vegas in '97. It was not to be so I was content to get to know new peeps through chat & it has been mindblowing seeing so many familiar posters on this new board. One just never knows the ramifications of such a simple action as becoming a Roller fan at 7 & how it can impact your life in the long term. I have travelled more in the last few years & met more wonderful people from all over the world who I am proud to call my friends. I have shared more laughter, tears & insanity than I ever thought possible with you gang. Hell, I even now work for Sharon who I met in TH and I spent this past weekend with LoriC at her farm. How cool is that? As everyone is giving life updates, here is mine in a nutshell-- quit my government job of 13 years, moved to Toronto, divorced my husband in February and lost my cats & microwave in the process, started working for Bullseye Records of Canada, enjoying the single life, lots of travel and that's about the extent of the highlights. Life has had its challenges in the last few years but I am feeling better than ever for having gone through it. I have a greater sense of who I am which I think is half the battle in this day & age. So, California in 2003-- sounds kewl to me. Bring on the tartan & stay away VH1... this is our party. Replies: Whoo hooo! Hiya Weezy! Long time no hear! :c) (NT) -- Nem, 10:13:48 07/04/02 Thu

Subject: Peeking out from under her rock.... Author: Lu [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:45:02 06/28/02 Fri Okay, what am I going to write that hasn't already been said, and that doesn't sound too hokey. (Taps forehead, looking for inspiration. Nothing. Hits forehead harder. Still nothing. Knocks head against keyboard. OW! Headache! LOL!!) Nothing original is coming to mind, so I guess that I will just ramble for a couple of minutes. :-) I have been reading the board all week, and thinking about posting, but decided to go ahead and actually do it. First off, Hello to everyone! :-) It's been a looong time, hasn't it? Bear, Kerry, ~Mary, Nessa, and everybody else. I have missed the AOL Chats that we used to have. It took me so long to try and figure out how to keep up with everyone, but I finally did it, I think. (Unlike our 4 hour IM sesssions, because we didn't know how to get into a private chatroom, aye Baca? LOL!!) What have I been up to? About 5'7", last time I checked. LOL!! Seriously, for those of you who do not know, I am living in Ohio now, and have been for a little over three years. I work for a Saturn dealer, and I love my life out here. Still single, but that doesn't mean that I don't look. >-) Have kind of let the BCR stuff go, but there are still times when I get the "twinge", and peek out, and see what is going on. Right now, my big obcession is NASCAR. Now that I have bored everyone silly, I think that I will climb back under the rock. But you never know, I may peek out again soon. Be afwaid! Be vewy afwaid! (-: Replies: Lu! I was hoping you'd show up! It was great seeing you in Edinburgh....dang, was that really two years ago already!?! NASCAR, hm? I'm amazed at how many people I know who are into that now! Hope you stop by often! :o) (NT) -- Connie, 20:36:39 06/28/02 Fri Yes, Connie, I'm here. Has it been 2 years already? Man, time flies when you're having "fun". Oh yeah, NASCAR is my thang right now. Got Tony Stewart pictures, diecasts, and stuff all over my apartment, including a full sized carboard cutout of "da man"standing in my living room. Only room that I don't have something in is my bathroom, but if they ever come out with a Tony Stewart shower curtain, I'm in! Even the license plate on my car is TS related.(-: Sad, isn't it? LOL!!! (NT) -- Lu, 03:44:16 06/29/02 Sat Lu -- Sabaca, 09:26:42 06/30/02 Sun Oh, but I beg to differ, Baca. You and your wonderful hubby are totally to blame for this. LOL!! If the two of you hadn't been watching the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600 on that fateful day in May of 1999, I probably would not heard of TS. (NT) -- Lu, 14:41:05 06/30/02 Sun Hi Lu! Funny you should show up at this moment...I got a kick out of watching my Duncan and Tipitina's video yesterday. You, Julz and Michelle in your dark shades were cracking me up! Where is Michelle these days???? I try to keep up with Nascar too, but I've missed a lot this year. Even though my brother says it's a waste of time "watching cars going around and around in a circle," I think it's fun. (NT) -- Becky, 06:33:38 06/29/02 Sat TIPITINA'S! Thank you Becky! I have been racking my brain trying to think of the name of that place. That night was a lot of fun! And tell your brother, who watches the race to see the cars go around in circles? I like watching the guys that drive those cars going in circles. <EG> (NT) -- Lu, 14:44:46 06/30/02 Sun Oh, and I don't know where Shell is. I wish I did. Been missing talking to her. (NT) -- Lu, 15:10:37 06/30/02 Sun Hi LuAnn -- Glad you made your way here!! We'll make a die-hard BCR fan out of you yet! We missed you in Atlanta! see you soon - Suzy (NT) -- suzanne, 07:47:40 06/29/02 Sat Suzy, I heard that you guys had a great time in Atlanta. I have to admit, part of the time that you guys were gone, I was kinda wishing that I was there. But, Suzanne has talked me into going to Roller Blast, so, we'll see. (NT) -- Lu, 14:56:31 06/30/02 Sun Lu and Suzanne at Rollerblast! Cool...can't wait to see you there! (NT) -- Becky, 18:43:25 06/30/02 Sun Well as I live and breath...oh my LU?? As I scanned the posts (and trust me when I say it really is great to see everyone) I saw a response that said "Lu". I quickly scanned searching for a real post from you! How the hell are you? Well I can see how you are! You've got to be taller than 5'7" though as I always felt so short next to you! ok..maybe that was Ker that always made me feel so short! I now have a scanner and may have to post those Hard Rock pictures of us from those days gone by!! (Relax I *have* a scanner, but that doesn't mean I really get how to use the damn thing!!) (NT) -- ~Mary, 08:44:08 06/29/02 Sat LOL!! Yes ~Mary, it's really me. I am doing great. Thsi move out here was the best thing that I could have done for myself. I think that it was the combination of both Kerry and I that made you feel short. LOL!! Gads, the Hard Rock Cafe pictures!?! Nooooooo... not the Hard Rock pictures. (-: Have you or Kerry (or anyone else for that matter) heard from Bernie at all? I have been thinking about her, and wondering how she is doing. (NT) -- Lu, 14:51:12 06/30/02 Sun The gangs all here? -- Bernie, 20:57:52 06/30/02 Sun {{{Bernie!}}} There you are! Is that really you? Been worried about you, lady. Glad to see that you're still around. (NT) -- Lu, 21:16:55 06/30/02 Sun (((Bernie))) -- Sabaca, 07:00:19 07/02/02 Tue Bernie...it's so great to see you too!! Miss those long phone conversations!! xo (NT) -- ~Mary, 10:28:34 07/02/02 Tue I do still have my same old email addy (hint hint) (NT) -- Bernie, 04:17:58 07/03/02 Wed LOL and you even figured out the little smiley's already...yea I shall write you a novel this weekend. How does one condense 2 years into an email?! Why write a novel of course! (NT) -- ~Mary, 06:40:35 07/03/02 Wed Are ya done yet??? Oh, and ~M, I still have a PHONE!!!

Subject: Ixnay on the pop-ups Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:59:51 07/01/02 Mon OK, the pop-ups caused by the chat room link were driving me (and apparently a few others) crazy, so I removed the chat room from this page and created a new homepage for BCR Alumni Fans which includes the chatroom as well as links to this message board, photo pages, and a ton of other links as well (I'm amazed at how many are still out there!) I'm sure I didn't get them all, so feel free to let me know what I'm missing and I'll add 'em! You can now access all of the above via http://members.aol.com/cojehali/bcralumni.html. (I'd make that into a link if I knew how!) What I want to know is how the heck I found myself actually making a *bleep*ing BCR Fan page at this late stage in the game after resisting it for so many years...LOL. Oh well, I hope y'all enjoy it! 'Tis nothing fancy, really, just a central "gateway" for us oldtimers to access the key sites and --if desired-- explore the online BCR landscape as it exists today! Pop by and add me to your bookmarks! :o) Replies: GREAT job Connie! Nice and useful page. Thanks for putting that together.

Subject: OMG! Author: Sabaca [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:27:51 06/24/02 Mon Caiti! Brent! Becky! Connie! ~Mary! Whoa isn't this bizarre? So glad to see the old names and boy that photo really does make everyone look very young. Great news from most of you too. Just returned from LesFest, great time. Tons of newbies...it's been so long I can't even figure out how to get into a chatroom anymore. Life sometimes gets in the way doesn't it? Claudia and I were looking at photos from the Chicago shows this weekend - what a great time. What's new? I resigned from the University and am taking a sabbatical of sorts - I was there for 13 yrs. That's too long to be anywhere! LOL After attending college I started working there. I just needed a freaking break so I'm spending time...lying in the sun and doing collie rescue. Oh - does anyone remember Paul (he was in Vegas) - he was in Atlanta too! We have a new house now, I'm still hanging in a convertible. Only sadness is that my collie - Sabaca - passed away this year. Totally devasting..of course I do have a 6 month collie now too so that brings me up to 3 85 lb. dogs... Ciao for now Suzanne Replies: Aw Suzanne, I'm so sorry to hear about your namesake! Being a pet person myself I know how hard it is....{{{Hugs}}} to you! Glad you found this board! And feel free to post more about your adventures at LesFest! :o) (NT) -- Connie, 18:59:40 06/24/02 Mon Hey! There's a name I haven't seen for awhile! Great to see your name pop up here! I wondered where you disappeared to!!!! And yes, I remember Paul. It's my recollection that he was part of the winning scavenger hunt team in Vegas. (NT) -- Brent, 05:24:57 06/25/02 Tue Paul -- Sabaca, 05:40:15 06/25/02 Tue Well I know the feeling. In my mind, I WAS a Roller. I just knew I wasn't old enough to join the band yet. I didn't realize that most bands go defunct quite quickly. (NT) -- Brent, 08:49:07 06/28/02 Fri I remember Paul fromNew Orleans...He was at our table (#2) with Lu and the infamous crochet hook, et. al...We won the scavenger hunt there as well.. I think Paul brings good luck...or luck of some sort.....LOL (NT) -- wendee, 07:08:57 07/02/02 Tue

Subject: Party weekend? Author: Lindy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:12:50 06/30/02 Sun Lu, I will be at your party girl. :) Suzy, thank you for the kind words. The past two years have been rough, but I am getting through it. Sussi, it is so great to see your name again too!1 How are your girls? Replies: WHOO-HOOO! Party time! And guess who now has a video camera? Only this time, I think that I can almost guarentee that the video won't be shot upside down. Buuut....add some alcohol, and who knows? (NT) -- Lu, 15:00:12 06/30/02 Sun Lubelle....director of the year -- Lindy, 16:42:43 07/01/02 Mon

Subject: Happy Birthday Tammy!! Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:09:00 06/30/02 Sun Just wanted to wish the very happiest of birthdays to my dear friend Tammy Freeman (our very own TFree!) Not sure if she'll be lurking in these parts come Monday, but just in case...;o) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!!! Hope your day is as special as you are (though I know that's setting the bar pretty high!) All the best, always...{{{{{HUGS!}}}}} Replies: Tammy Freeman...now that's someone I haven't talked to in YEARS!!!! If you are reading this Tammy, I hope you're doing fine and that your birthday is a wonderful one! (NT) -- Becky, 11:02:27 07/01/02 Mon

Subject: Great to hear from everyone again!!!! Author: Suzy (aka suzanne) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:55:44 06/24/02 Mon It is so nice to hear from all the old familiar names. I can still remember being one of the first people to get on-line at work in 1995 and I'd key in Bay City Rollers all the time and get nothing. Then, suddenly one day (I think in 1996), there was something and now look at us!! As most of you remember, I was pregnant in Bay City with Paige. She is now 5 and will be in kindergarten in September. I had another baby (Nicholas) in April, 2000 so he is now 2. Sabaca, Denise and I just got back from Atlanta last night and it was GREAT to see Les again. He and the band did great and they were so nice to everyone. They were all out at the lobby bar on Friday night so it was fun to hang out with everyone then the concert on Saturday night was great and they all made sure everyone got autographs and pictures. I don't think that session even wrapped up until 1:30am then everyone was back to the bar until the wee hours of the morning!! Thanks again for this board Connie!! ts so nice to know everyone really IS still out there. Keep writing everyone! Suzy :) Replies: hi suzy, i don't remember you (and u prob don't know me *smile*) but i have an almost 5 yo about to start kindergarten in sept AND an april 2000 baby as well!! just felt like pointing that out :-) (NT) -- *erica, 19:23:22 06/24/02 Mon HI Suzy...my teenage penpal! Isn't the internet amazing? Here we are so many years later meeting up like this. How cool that you went to the Atlanta rave! (NT) -- Helen, 21:32:00 06/24/02 Mon WE were penpals at the age of 12! Suzy's my oldest Roller friend! Well...one of them! (NT) -- pammy, 19:28:15 06/28/02 Fri Hi Suzy, it's great to see you here! Sounds like everyone had a blast in Atlanta. I really miss seeing everyone on a regular basis...that was really something to look forward to every year. (NT) -- Becky, 06:36:25 06/29/02 Sat Suzy....it's so great to see you too...I remember playing on the escalator with Paige and now she's 5? Wow and a new little one too. I promise to show him the fun of going up and down ad naseum next time out!! (NT) -- ~Mary, 08:48:50 06/29/02 Sat Hi ~Mary -- That was not Paige who you were playing with. She has not been to any fests with me before. You are probably thinking of Sally's little girl Nicole who was in Toronto (SAL). Good to hear from you again! And, hello back to Pammy, Helen and Becky and everyone else. *erica -- I think I remember you posting in the past but am pretty sure we have not met. Did I hear you are having another baby? That is where we will be different. I'm stopping with my 5 year old and 2 year old!!! That's enough for me :) (NT) -- Suzy, 06:48:39 07/01/02 Mon lol, yeah i'm having another, mine are 9, nearly 5 and 2. and i can never remember half the ppl i meet at fests ;-) (NT) -- *erica, 08:28:50 07/01/02 Mon *erica - you are on your 4th child? I missed one somewhere - LOL! Congrats to you! Great to see you here! Suzy - how is Sally? Do you know where she is now? Is she still in Texas? (NT) -- Cathy, 08:33:54 07/01/02 Mon Man for half a second I thought if you were asking ME if I was having another baby!! 3 little moppets for me is enough...*e can keep the population growing! You're right it was Sally's daughter, but I can always offer my escalator services to those other kids that need the entertainment! (NT) -- ~Mary, 10:50:51 07/01/02 Mon Hi Cathy -- Sally is back in Indianapolis. I think I wrote and told her about this board. I will tell her again. She's very busy these days (and divorced now too). She did go to Atlanta though! Hope to see you again one of these days! (NT) -- suzy, 09:54:32 07/01/02 Mon

Subject: Hey friends!! Author: wendee [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:28:32 06/20/02 Thu It's sooooo good to see so many old faces....I've "only" been around since mid-1997...so I'm not as "OLD" as all of you...but I remember all the good times...I hate how fast times flies...I really do.... wendee Replies: Wendy, just so you know, our friends spent the last year and a half living in Philly and we always intended to visit them. I was going to make sure that we paid a brief visit to you as well when we went there but, unfortunately, we never made it there and our friends moved. Someday I hope we'll run across you and Dom again though. (NT) -- Brent, 05:31:38 06/25/02 Tue Wendee -- I met you in New Orleans but don't know if you remember me. Anyway, it is good to see you and everyone else on here! :) (NT) -- Suzy, 08:14:42 06/25/02 Tue WENDEE, miss water dancer, how the heck are ya girlfriend!! haven't heard from YOU in ages. thought maybe you were swallowed up in the pine barrens or something! (NT) -- *erica, 05:53:14 06/26/02 Wed hey friends -- sandi, 17:44:02 06/26/02 Wed hey brent, suzy, *e and sandi.... -- wendee, 06:27:03 06/27/02 Thu aha, wendee, it's in writing now. after rollerblast, we ARE getting together. just not at cmas and NOT at my place, hehe!! and i'm willing to be preggie in your stead, cos i am just plain nuts, but you KNEW that already right?!?! (NT) -- *erica, 14:05:21 06/27/02 Thu wendee...it has been way tooo long i'm game for a get together. maybe we can all meet up someplace??? might be easier than organizing something at anybody's place. of course if i had a BIG place instead of a small apartment i'd invite you all over. (NT) -- sandi, 08:30:55 06/29/02 Sat Wendee. Two words for ya.......crochet hook! (-: (NT) -- Lu, 03:52:34 06/29/02 Sat LOLOLOL..for the unknowing Lu's reference to a crochet hook has t do with a "scavenger" hunt in New Orleans...during one of the games, the organizers asked for an odd assortment of items. And Lu....to my amazement had a crochet hook when asked (a point for our team I may add.) That was a fun fest. New Orleans will definitely be one of my fondest BCR memories!!
