On Tuesday August 29th I'll be attending the MAGIC Convention in Las Vegas to help promote our new retail merchandising deals with Balzout &
Bioworld. MAGIC is a trade show for clothing and apparel, and Balzout will be premiering the new 'Rockstalgia' line of concert merchandise from bands
like KEEL, Dokken, Winger, Angel, Steelheart, Starz, and many more.
'Rockstalgia' items such as concert t-shirts, hats, and much more will soon be appearing in retail outlets such as Spencer's, Hot Topic, and
elsewhere.
Thanks to our licensing agents Jim Paidas and Jon Levin at Paidas Management for making all this happen. Balzout will be hosting the after-party at
the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and I expect to see old friends Don Dokken, Stephen Pearcy, Kip Winger, Metal Mike, and many others there. I will be
sure to file a complete report on the Message Board Forum.

There's a 1-800 number at the bottom of the ad
Hey, I checked for a website, and balzout.com is under construction, but you can email them for info at the email address: info@balzout.com
(This company also apparently does SpongeBob and South Park merchandise)

REPORT: Magic Convention, Day 1
Just finished up a killer day at the convention in Vegas - the merchandise is awesome, and the convention is like the NAMM show for clothing,
absolutely huge. Hanging with me at the Balzout booth today were Kip Winger, Pat Travers, Jon Levin (Dokken), Frank Dimino (Angel), and Mili from
Steelheart (the awesome voice featured in the movie "Rock Star")...It was like a Spinal Tap family reunion. ...Stephen Pearcy's flight was delayed but
I'll see him tomorrow, along with Don Dokken, Metal Mike, and others. Tomorrow is also the big Balzout party at the Hard Rock, I hope to get pictures
and post 'em soon.
The 'Rockstalgia' program is just getting off the ground, but it promises to be huge and I'm really proud to be a part of it. Also did a deal today to
manufacture KEEL belt buckles, how cool is that.
More tomorrow.SexyLeo75 - 8-29-2006 at 10:53 PM
Sounds like you are having a blast out there!!! RK - 8-30-2006 at 01:25 AM
Report - 6 pm Pacific Time - Magic, Day 2 - Tuesday August 29
Taking a break from the festivities - spent the day at the convention, meeting with lots of retailers, fans, and other cats from 'back in the day':
today's guests included myself, Metal Mike (guitarist for Rob Halford & Sebastian Bach + Painmuseum), Ritchie Ranno (Starz), Chip from Enuff
Z'Nuff (hope I spelled that right), and again Frank Dimino from Angel and Mili from Steelheart - also on hand were my old friends Stephen Pearcy &
Don Dokken (Don and I shook hands and smiled, didn't speak, no blows were thrown).
I am also hanging with my graphic artist Stewart Johnson, who did the graphic design for "Alone At Last" and many of the 'Rockstalgia' merchandise
items. Stew rocks, and is keeping a photographic record of the festivities for us to document the week.
I've got a couple of hours to chill before the big Balzout party at the Hard Rock Cafe. I'll let you know how it goes.MAGICTOUCH - 8-30-2006 at 02:51 AM

You're welcome. It would be a great thrill to walk into the Spencer's closest to where I live and see Keel merchandise in 2006!SexyLeo75 - 8-31-2006 at 04:17 PM
Yes I have to agree that would be totally awesome to see here as well!! RK - 9-2-2006 at 08:32 AM
Still recuperating from the Balzout party at the Hard Rock in Vegas...great hanging with various cohorts from Rock N Roll history. Here's a choice pic
