Rock 100.5 morning host "Southside" Steve Rickman turns 50 and Rock 100.5 is hosting a party this Saturday at Wild Bill's to celebrate. It's only $10 to get in so I expect it will be packed. (Buy tickets here in advance.)
Three bands will be there: an AC/DC cover band Back 'n Black, Rickman's favorite Journey cover band Departure and a Southern rock cover band Convoy (which does not actually play the song "Convoy.")
Expect many of his buddies to show up, including Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl and the always entertaining John Rocker. While wife Amanda of one year will certainly be there, some of his 419 past conquests may pop in as well. You never know...
