Great night and thanks!
Hey all. Just got back to NYC from Chicago and wanted to tell you all about what a great night it was.
I was with Will To Power and we weren't picked up until after Fascination and Noel performed but I caught everyone else. First off, I was lucky enough to meet all of the artists and hang with them in vans, waiting areas, and our hotel. I've seen most of them perform before and met them all many many years ago but this time I really got a chance to speak to them all in depth behind-the-scenes. All I can say, it this was one set of true, veteren professionals! Each and every one of them stopped to talk to fans, sign autographs, take pictures, chit chat...no matter how tired or busy they were.
Nyasia, I'm glad we got the chance to meet and hang out...you're a doll! And yes, I caught the Stevie Nicks spin!
I was lucky enough to have been at soundcheck for Safire...we also spoke at the show and was extremely lucky enough to have had breakfast with her at the hotel this morning. What a great great performer and an amazing woman with an amazing spirit. She oozes professionalism...I"m sure you all knew that already but I was really taken by her. I think I convinced her to work on a project with me so cross your fingers and some of you may get to see her perform again later this year!
Noel, Coro, Seduction were all so great to speak to. I hung out with Fascination at the hotel this morning and she was a complete doll. Incidently, for some reason, each and every artist looked better than they had when I saw them 10 and 15 years ago!!!
Now onto Will To Power....yes I was with them and of course, that may cause me to be a little biased but they were OFF THE FRIGGIN' HOOK! Our lead singer Siddy can throw down while singing, dancing, and sexing up everyone out there! When she came down to the lobby of the hotel, there wasn't one eyeball that wasn't trained on her. A gay friend of mine even said "HOLY S*IT! For the first time in my life I was straight for like 15 whole minutes!!!" :drool The dancers kicked booty out there. Backstage, someone from Chicago challenged one of our dancers, Ozone, to compete out on the dancefloor....let's just say you know who mopped the floor with whom...Ozone defies gravity. Bob Rosenberg is the strong but silent type..doesn't say much due to his inner spirituality but the guy lives for the music and serving it up to the fans...they really put on a great show and a full set of 7 songs!
So it was a great show...thanks to everyone who came out and for the love you gave us. Thanks to the artists who made the night as special as possible for me and from what it seems, I think some new friendships were made...thank you thank you thank you!
I have tons of video footage I'm working on for a DVD which I'll tell you all about when it's done in a few weeks. For now, I'll be posting my pics from on stage, behind the scenes, and in their faces a little later so look out for them.
Thanks again!!!

PS. And a special thanks to fans turned friends, Roger and Randy for driving all the way from Iowa and ending up in my bed this morning!!! (Minds out of the gutter...ah, leave them there, it's more fun! :jk ) Thanks guys!
