Yup!! and that's what the whole Toro, Rodrigues & Martinez clan did!! along with many of our wonderful friends and family from all over the place.... We came together for a fun filled weekend in Las Vegas to celebrate Hector's 50th birthday... and MAN!! did we Celebrate!!!.... So much food(yummy dinner at the Market City Caffe)
shopping (Diane & Rita at the Forum at Casaer's)
sightseeing (New York,New York & tasting all the coke products from around the world!)
But of course the highlight was Hector's party on saturday night...
At the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino.... 56 of Hector's relatives and best friends came together to celebrate Hector turning 50...
I was thrilled that Hector's first band from 1978.... "Night Flight" was able to reunite!! with Hector on drums, Jeff Lane on bass, Chris Wischman & Hector's brother, Eddie on guitar, they all came together to play some of our favorite songs!! They rocked it out!!!
Hector recieved a beautiful hand made custom guitar from Doug Stein, one of Hector's closest longtime friends.... Hector was blown away by it!!
It was such a perfect night!! There was so much love there for Hector and he was very moved and humbled...
Thank you to all who made this incredible weekend possible!!! We love you!!
Hector, Kari, Rita & Marshall

Is that Chris Wischman, also known as Chris Wilson? I was a big fan of his band, and unless memory serves me incorrectly, Hector produced his record, didn't he? And...Eddie's band the Runaway Boys opened for them quite a bit....brings back memories...:-) If you see Chris, tell him the flip side of their single "The Last Good Girl" is getting re-recorded in a few weeks for a local band I'm producing in Seattle, WA....
