Nikki Sixx will appear at a NAPA Auto Parts store in Ontario on Friday, Aug. 16. (2007/AP Photo)
Today in the “I Can’t Make This Stuff Up” file we have Nikki Sixx, of Motley Crue fame, headed to Ontario on Friday, Aug. 16.
That part isn’t so unbelievable–Sixx and the Crue have been frequent visitors to the Inland Empire over the years. The part where it gets weird is that the appearance is to celebrate the grand opening of a NAPA Auto Parts store in Ontario. Sixx and Kerri Kasem, who co-hosts his “Sixx Sense” will appear at the store. (NAPA is one of the sponsors of the show).
Then, when you think it can’t get weirder, it does–Blue October, which had a radio hit with “Hate Me,” will perform an acoustic set at the store.
The appearance is free, but if you shell out $20 in auto parts at the store, you could get two wristbands to meet and get your photo with Kasem and Sixx while supplies last. Just think, for the price of an air filter or a couple of quarts of motor oil you can meet the man responsible for “Shout at the Devil.”
Call the store at 951-360-0192 for more information.
4-6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, NAPA Auto Parts, 2191 Burgundy Place, Ontario, free.
I’m pretty sure the Crue’s “Kickstart My Heart” is appropriate video for this post. You’re welcome.
