Las Vegas Sept 2008

Me & Brian Tichy (talented drummer for Billy Idol & sweet guy)

Steve "guitar god" Stevens, me, Sarah & Brad

Ok, so we got back from Las Vegas yesterday and it was a total blast. Of course the Billy Idol concert was the highlight. The show was awesome except for some major problems with Hard Rock security and their lack of organizational skills with regards to the VIP passes. We SHOULD have been front row but ended up being 3rd row because of some dumbasses working the event security. Then of course there were the inevitable looped up beaaatches who as soon as Billy pays attention to the crowd, go all nutzos. They have these psycho, glazed over looks on their faces like they can't even see you. Then they try to go through you to get to Billy. LOL! But it didn't work at least around us. There are probably a couple of women/girls/things that I'm sure are wondering why they have multiple bruises on their arms and where the hell they got them from. So sorry..... ;)

I have my own bruise actually from some skinny, amazonian woman who was wearing stilletos....yes, Andre the Giantess stepped on my foot. It took all of my strength to keep a straight face and not roll around in agony on the floor crying like a baby.....like I so would have if I was home! It took me about 2 days to remember why the top of my left foot was hurting like hell! Then the good times all came rushing back....

After the show was over we went to the bogus Billy Idol "After Party" in the Wasted Space nightclub. It was wasted space alright....it was such total BS. They just "invited" you so you would go there and spend a small fortune on alcohol. I had my suspicions about it so I left and saw the band around the center bar in the casino. We met Brian Tichy (drummer), Steve Stevens (lead guitar god), Stephen McGrath (bass) & Derek Sherinian (keyboards) and a bunch of other cool people. We hung out with Brian for several hours and found out he was a really nice, down to earth guy. He's also a very talented song writer in addition to his talent on the drums & guitar. He wrote & co-wrote several of Billy's recent songs.

Well that was the last BFI concert for me this year....until next Spring when hopefully some new music will be out. According to those in the know, there will be. It was really great to meet a lot of the other Idol fans. They were all so nice and a ton of fun! I can't wait to meet up again at another concert. Here's a link to a video we took of the finale....enjoy!
