In the afterglow of celebrating his 63rd birthday, Sammy was his usual shy self. “What a party! This year was truly like no other,” writes Hagar. “Mona could not come down early so the 'Other Half' rocked the house for two nights. Thanks Mikey! Then I got very sick and had to move a night back to the 12th. So sorry to those Redheads who couldn't stay to use their tickets.”
“Speaking of that,” continued Hagar, “It blew my mind how many virgins were in the house, hello new ticketing system! There seemed to be a significant number of fans in attendance who had never been able to get in before this year. And they were a wild crowd to say the least. Welcome to the Bash!”
Even under the weather, Sammy was a trooper. “I was still not really back for the third night, I felt like hell but played anyway - I was delirious but had a blast. I exited the stage by going through the crowd so you know I was insane by the end of the show. Four nights and we only repeated a few songs, that's the way the Wabos roll in Cabo.”
“And how about the Fan Cam? I watched for a minute after the show and there was some crazy s**t going on. Look for that on RR.com soon. Next year it's your turn.”
“The off night we previewed the new movie 'Be There Once, Go There Twice' and everyone tells me the fans loved it. That will be out before Xmas.”
“Every year somehow seems to be better than the last. Playing with Chickenfoot for the Cantina's Birthday was a blast, but nothing compares to the Bash itself. We have big plans for next year.....will you still need me, will you still come and see me when I'm 64?”
