Can you believe
that setlist? What a night. I can't even begin to
explain how amazing this night was. When Paul came
onstage and started singing Hello Goodbye, the smile
on my face was so huge I could barely contain myself.
My eyes were welling up 'cause I was so damn
happy that I was seeing a Beatle and it was sounding
SOOOOOOOO good. And I don't mean good for a guy at 60,
I mean good ANYTIME. Had I seen McCartney in the
70's I wouldn't believe he would sound this good live.
He was absolutely DEAD-ON. Hitting EVERY damn note. It
was simply unbelieveable. And the band? No offense
Ringo - but guess what you couldn't do. Play or sing
like this dude. WOW. It sounded so good, so tight, so
amazing - I have to believe that I've never heard a
better concert...
...nor have
I ever seen so many celebrities at one time. The
night started off with Ozzy and Sharon in a luxury
booth. Ozzy was all stumblin around and people were
yellin for him so he throws his hands up and everyone
screams. He sits...then 10 seconds later he stands
again to more screams, then stumbles back to his
chair. God love Ozzy. Then Sylvester Stallone walks
past us to his seat. !??!! So strange. We were in the
3rd row from the floor so it was prime seating. Then,
as I'm calling Marty to tell him this - there's
Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley. Huh? LOL. It
never ends. Here's a full list of celebrities from a
fansite:
Sharon &
Ozzy Osbourne, Cloris Leachman, Ray Ramono, David
Spade, Mick Jagger, Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie
Presley, James Taylor, Eddie Murphy, Christopher
Cross, Sylvester and Jennifer Stallone, Tom Green,
Keith Urban, George Thorogood, Carole King, Bill
Clinton, Winona Ryder, Brian Wilson and Kevin
Spacey.
About an hour
after the concert, at the VIP entrance, former
President Bill Clinton exited under moderate secret
service escort. Clinton stayed outside and shook
hands with an estimated 50 people and signed some
autographs before leaving. Clinton had a caravan of
eight cars and many secret service agents when he
left.
DAAAAMN. I was
RIGHT THERE. But we left right after the concert.
GRRR. That would've been cool. But still - WOW. The
show was unforgettable and I can't thank my dad enough
for making this possible. I never would've been able
to experience this on my own, and Jess and I were
elated all night. Thank you, thank you, thank
you.
As if
that wasn't enough just a few hours before
the concert I had a tremendous meeting
with the commercial agency. To say that
the DVD player was a good idea is kind of
an understatement.
There were 2 people in the room, and they
passed it around watching my demo, parts
of the show - and just playing with it.
They were knocked out at how well put
together the DVD was, the characters
- the everything. They loved my headshots,
they knew the photographer really well
(thank you Charlotte, that was a great
move), and were excited about the
different characters I could play.
We talked for a
half an hour, and just had a good time. I mean, it's
quite scary just how much you can talk about when it
comes to the things I've done entertainment wise.
Although nothing big has happened, from talk radio, to
production director and voice-over talent, to 4tvs, to
my music CDs (all of which I had there and was able to
play on demand - god that's cool) - they were very
excited. They have a meeting at the end of every week
and they talk about the people they saw that week and
who they represnt. They said they will certainly call
back Friday, and if by some chance they don't they
said "Please call us on Monday, we may have pushed the
meeting back because we were busy." Absolutely
wonderful. If all goes well, they would be my
commercial agents...getting me auditions for on-camera
commercials. As far as voice-over work, that's a
completely different side of the company, but they
advised me to submit things to them as
well.
What excites me
more than anything, is just getting out. Going to
auditions. Meeting people. Doing ANYTHING. What's nice
about having agents, is that's all they do - get you
work on commercials. They are one segment of my life.
They're fine if I don't want to just be an actor.
They look at my "look" and my "talent" and see if I'm
worth their time to push me for commercials - that's
it! On the side I can still do 4tvs, look for a
manager - all that. There isn't that sense of dread
like when Charlotte changed the road we were on and
said that I now had to be this, this and this (all
without ever speaking to any
agents...EVER).
So right now, it's
nothing but excitement. My only worry is missing
auditions because of a full-time job. Which right now
is completely nerve-racking as the only interview
I went on was strange to say the least. I don't
want to get into specifics, but the fact that the
woman was driving out of her garage as I arrived 5
minutes early for the interview pretty much says it
all. LOL. She then proceeds to say: "Oh, I thought you
would call..." !?!?! You arranged an interview with me
at 3 PM on Thursday...YOU made the appointment.
LOL. Why would I call? Needless to say, the
headache may not even be worth it. I'm looking
elsewhere.
For tonight
however my goal is clear: Start a race riot at the
funeral of a well-known Haitian Gang-Leader so the
real estate prices go down enough to help my mob boss
make some serious JACK. My health is pretty low, so
I'll be sure to pick up a hooker on my way to Little
Havana. I know this nice quiet spot by the airport
where we can get it on.
From Animal
Crossing to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, gaming in the
21st Century absolutely RULES.
