"We Will Rock You" musical

I first read about the Queen musical We Will Rock You soon after Mig Ayesa moved to London with his wife, Simone. Mig and I worked briefly together in a musical several years ago. I was his dresser in Fame: The Musical. Fame was pretty lame but Mig shone in that. The musicians from Fame and Mig jammed at No Black Tie one night. What a night that was! It was very obvious to me that night Mig was destined for bigger and better things. True enough, not long after the Asian Tour of Fame, Mig left for London and then LA. The rest is history...

It is such a treat that Mig who was the original Galileo is going to be in the production in Singapore. I am very tempted to watch We Will Rock You in Singapore. The Queen fan in me is saying "GO!" but the practical me is saying "WTF! Spend so much money on one concert ah??" I don't have much time to make that decision...

Read the review.

Harry Connick Jr "My New Orleans Tour"

I was at the Harry Connick Jr concert tonight. It was FUCKING AWESOME!!! Best part is, I won the tickets in a contest! I read in the Sunday Times of a contest by Dockers to win 2 x RM300 tickets to watch HCJ in concert. I am no good with writing out contest form, getting an envelope, stick a stamp on the envelope and actually getting to a post box to post the contest form. This contest said to email in the answer. I thought I can do that! So, that was what I did :D

Last Wednesday, I got a call to say I've won the tickets!!! WOOOT! PT wasn't in town, so I brought along my girlfriend, Lia, who needed a night out. We bopped and wiggled in our seats and tapped our feet, all the while wondering why nobody else was doing that. I guess the concert being in the Dewan Filharmonik, most people there think they have to behave a certain way. Man, HCJ and his Big Band were playing such good music to groove to, it was difficult keeping still. I was quite tempted to jump out to the aisle to dance!

HCJ had a great sense of humour and a certain charm about him that says he'll be great at parties. He will fit right in with us at our parties at home. The boys in the band loved their music and it was obvious watching them play. I love watching musicians who love what they do play. Their passion is felt by the audience. What an experience!

I am a HCJ fan now. Even bought his new album "Oh My NOLA" at the venue.
