Oh man, I would love to hear this as I live in LI as well. (about 5-10 minutes from Petrucci actually).
Hi, and welcome here! As soon as the PM-machine starts working again, I'll send you the link
Anyway, does JP still live in Long Island? Have you ever met him at the supermarket?
Thanks a ton!
Yes he does, its kind of known that he lives in St James, NY and I believe either him or some of the band members have mentioned it before. I dont want to toot my own horn, but I actually know where he lives(not that I stalk him or anything). My girlfriends family own a restaurant right around the corner and had delivered to his house before. Of course out of respect to him, I wont divulge that info, but if I do happen to see him, stories will be shared here.
About 5 years ago, my friend was working at the DSW in the area and there was a Petco next door(which is now gone). He was ringing a woman up and when she handed him her credit card he noticed it said Rena Petrucci on it. Turns out it was her and he was ecstatic. This was around the the time of the Score show. She had told him that John was actually next door getting pet food and that she would pass along the praise.
Its a silly story, and I dont expect anyone to believe me, but whatever. Hopefully when the next US tour comes around, they'll do the meet n greet package again and I'll finally be able to meet the guy in person.
