Real-Time Rock and Roll

In a down economy, PeopleSoft continues to beat Wall Street earnings estimates (12 consecutive quarters and counting) and delivers the real-time enterprise. The band keeps doin' what it's always done best: high-performance, maximum rock and roll.

Patrick "Drummer #7" gets a working gig in a transvestite punk band and lays down his sticks with the Daves, though he still helps us out on special occasions. Raving Daves Emeritus Extraordinaire Mark "The Wolf" Fletcher, even though he's got 3 kids and 2 other bands, returns to fill in on the skins. Now, *that's* devotion to raving!

Around mid-year, original Ravette Erika "Rita" Voelker leaves the band to get married; original Ravette Dana "Scooby" Leipold takes a leave of absence to have a baby. Stepping in on the female vocals are Pat "The Wailer" Waller and Linda "AirDry" Jarrell. The photo below shows the Raving Daves backstage as they appeared on August 25th, 2002 in New Orleans ...
