around the bend.....

My darling friend Adam and I knew we were BFF the day we both shared a love for ex-Disney Channel kid stars, (minus Britney) i.e. Justin T, Ryan Gosling, Kerri Russel, Fergie, Christina Aguilera....one day i asked him who his favorite artist was and he told me, Tony Lucca... (what?!) Don't you rememeber Tony?
I had a total crush on him as a child when i watched the Mickey Mouse Club religiously...( i am sure he cringes when people say that)... you always hear about kid stars trying to shake off the bubble gum image... and he certainly has... less clean cut abercrombie looking now....but he was cute and talented then, and he is cute and talented now!

To my suprise and delight Adam begins to tell me all about his albums, how great of an artist he is, and gives me his collection of music to listen to for myself.... i listened to it, and LOVED it...

He plays in Chicago a few times a year, and the last time he was here, in the midst of my wedding planning, i was not able to make the show.... So when he rolled into town this time, i made sure to make myself available....I am not kidding by saying that the CDs hardly do the guy justice...lucky for me, the day he came we got about 8 inches of snow(March in Chicago!), so though there were quite a few people there, we got a seat right up front to enjoy the show. I sat there with my friends smiling to myself because i enjoyed listening to him that much....it was one of those really intimate performances, where the music and the singing is so good, that it gives you goosebumps...

I think I am fan for life...

P.S. Is it just me, or do Adam and Tony sorta look alike?

Can't get it out of my head.....

This week, the hotel that i work for had a huge "unveiling" party. We just completed a 30 million dollar renovation of guestrooms, meeting space and a bar/lounge.... Samantha Ronson was the DJ at the bar that night and she played a song that i couldnt get out of my head for the rest of the night.... hands down, Leona Lewis is my new favorite singer.... not only is she beautiful, her voice is amazing....here is her new single its FAB!

Silly Shots...

About a year ago, my very old, refurbished three times computer finally died. After going through a very challenging experience with Geek Squad (whom i will never use again) i managed to get my music and pictures off of my old computer and transferred to an external hard drive. I finally bit the bullet, got a new laptop, hooked up the hard drive and peeked through some pictures that i hadn't seen in forever. Don't you just love finding stupid old pictures of yourself?
