Re: Glenn Frey Statue Unveiled at Standin' on the Corner Festival in Winslow, AZ- Sep
I have the same problem as Houston Baby. I need a real reason to get off work, and I'm not going to lie. They ask where you will be on the form and why. Would they really understand "attending a memorial ceremony in Winslow, Arizona?" Methinks they would guess who it was for!
I rarely ask for time off and I can take care of getting a substitute by myself, so that's not a problem. Still, I've already asked for time off in October to attend my cousin's wedding. I'm still debating whether or not to try. I don't want to be perceived as weird since Glenn is not a family member or even a friend in the real sense of the word, although he feels like so much more than that to me.

I really want to go to this, but I haven't decided if I want to do it alone or not. A lot of things I don't mind doing by myself, but I don't know about this if no one else is able to go. Guess I have to make up my mind soon. :hmm:

I wouldn't say that. A mullet is short on top & long at the back. This is the same length the way I see it.

I'd agree: the hair and mustache is pretty much spot on, I'm just not too sure about the face!
Re: Glenn Frey Statue Unveiled at Standin' on the Corner Festival in Winslow, AZ- Sep
Would love to go to this. I have wanted to see Winslow for ages and all of Glennsallnighter's pictures made it even more so. Wondering if I can justify the money for a flight/car rental/motel and all the other assorted expenses. Can't believe I am even thinking it might be possible. Lol

I heard about this on sirius radio and figured someone had posted about it here! Wonderful idea for the city to do! Glenn owns that song as much as Jackson, imo! :thumbsup:
I hope someone here gets to go. I know I can't.

Here's some more about the statue and the event. They say they will probably stream the ceremony.

This is my problem too. To get to the unveiling I would need to take Thursday and Friday off work that week and we are only just back. If I want ANY hope of getting to LA in January I will probably have to pass up on this one.
An added complication is that our teaching council have sent us letters saying in a nutshell that basically ANYONE can complain about us if we act in an unethical / irresponsible etc manner inside or outside of our jobs. Nobody is exactly sure what the guidelines are here but basically if a parent ( or even a colleague) got wind of the word that I was taking time off to travel I could be at the wrong end of a disciplinary hearing. I would be happy to take unpaid but I want to keep that option open for LA if I need it.

GA - If I have a vote and you can only do one of the trips, my selfish vote is for you to take off in January! :grin: It would be great to see you again! And you have to go to Joshua Tree National Park with us!
