Are you kidding me? How many times do we hear about how certain things will never happen and then they do?

What on this website gives you the idea that John would actually be attending this event? My money would say, NOT!

All I will say about this is that I asked John personally about this and at that time he said he was planning on attending and that it would be the first time he will see some of the guys since he left the band.

John should go for sure.

Given the fact that John posted that link on his facebook along with the following text: "BIG NEWS: John Schlitt to Reunite with Head East during Iowa Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Induction Sept. 4 - Arnolds Park, IA. Sure to be a historical event, John will join the current Head East line-up on stage for a few of their most famous hits, including "Never Been Any Reason." This is the first time in more than 30 years that John has been on stage with the band." I would say there is a GOOD chance he'll be there. Good thing you are not a betting person, calico!

Yes, John will be there AND will be singing a few songs with the band. It's NOT the start of a reunion and it's NOT John 'selling out' in case anyone starts thinking in that direction. His main focus is and always will be Jesus Christ and his new songs will be glorifying HIM - not the rock & roll way of life.

This was something Roger asked John to do, and he agreed. It won't be that huge of an affair, thought it WILL be for Head East fans (and Schlittheads too, really).

Anyone up for a road trip? I have a car of four going... possibly two more...

Will John be singing the "Better than a white line" lyric? that would be awkward given what that means.

Well this sounds like a once off... I am there!

Enosh, I think that would be an ok thing to sing.. because to John, Dorla is better than a white line

Enosh are you going to go?

I had this same thought for a split second Enosh and then immediately thought the same way Daniel did. "Woman with the sweet lovin', better than a white line" We all know that Dorla stuck with John through very hard times while he was addicted - it might seem like a stretch of the lyric to some, but really.. We know John can say without a DOUBT that "Wife with the sweet lovin... WAY better than that junk" - I don't think there's any problem with John singing that lyric - we all know he did cocaine in his past - and he can sure claim that theres many things much better than it. This is a great honor for the band - and its only right John be there.. anyone who knows how captivating John's voice and performing is knows that he was a huge part of this band's success.. and anyone who knows John would be silly to think that he's taking a step backwards or selling out.. It was John's Head East days that gave him the expierience he needed to do what he did in Petra and that ultimately brought him to the Lord.

I, as a Head East fan (and Schlitthead hehe) will be in attendance and am VERY excited.

that's exactly what John said yeseterday....

TICKETS:
You MUST have a ticket to get in for Sun. night show. $30 general admission, or $40 reserved. They just opened up more reserved seats. If you want reserved - you should buy before Friday... they have 25 reserved available. http://www.iowarocknroll.com/events.php (the $15 tickets are for the INDUCTION. You want the SPECTACULAR)

RECORDING:
They (Hall of Fame) will be recording this professionally, both video and audio directly tied in to the board. DVDs will be for sale to anyone, at $50
each in about a month after the event.

HOTELS/ROOMS:
A pastor that hosted John a month ago has a bible camp/conference center in the same area that has cabins with 1 or 2 beds in them. Shower facilities, fridgerator, air conditioning... not sure about the TV. A mile away from the lake, and in close proximity to the venue. He's offering the cabins at a very decent cost....... so if anyone is interested in going, let me know for sure and I can see if he'll give the same price. There's no one at the conference center now, so we'd have our own private camp, so to speak.

Pethead Convention time, do you think?!

AWESOMEEEE!!!! I'll still bring my cam and stuff, but will actually get to sit back and enjoy this!! So Excited! Oh Sue, we were able to get out of our booking without quitting the band!! lol

Wasn't easy, but our boss knew how big this was to us!

Excellent! I KNEW you'd find a way to get there... you've been talking about this kind of thing for YEARS.

BTW: the time Head East will be on stage is 11:30 p.m.

Yes, this will be a late one, folks. There are 8 other bands ahead of HE, so they will be the very last ones.
