Will Crum... Where were you?

It's Sunday... I get an email this morning about a spontaneous show that was going to take place in the Wendy's parking lot on 17 St. in Costa Mesa. Will Crum was supposed to perform. I went at 3 p.m. when I was informed it would start. I waited for 15 minutes... the parking lot was empty. Where were you Will Crum? I was super excited about the random show. I thought maybe this would be a new trend for local musicians. It's a beautiful Sunday for some Wendy's and Will Crum. AND I had planned on filming it and photographing it.

Was it a publicity stunt? Did something happen? Or was I just punked? You owe me a show Will Crum. ; )

P.S. I'm working on a Press Pass Music video promo. It should be out soon. AND don't forget the last OC Music Awards live showcase at Detroit Bar with Champagne Blvd, Starving For Gravity, Sederra and The Living Suns this Tuesday. The show starts at 9 p.m.

Hey there,

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Well, I went to a few shows this week and celebrated the four-day weekend with a little bar hopping. Monday I saw The Sweet Sweet Things and Francisco The Man at Detroit Bar. I talked to CJ, guitarist for The Sweet Sweet Things, and bumped into Luke Allen of Gemini Studios. Then I discovered the band Walk In Medical, who is featured in this month's OC Weekly as is our KUCI music director Sam (his name's on the cover -- Heck yes!). Check it or don't. It's free. Also, OC Weekly has releasec a free local music compilation -- download it at: http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/oc-weekly-local-music-compilat-2/

On Tuesday, I went to my favorite pub The Auld Dubliner in Tustin and sang "Seven Drunken Nights" with the Humble Hooligans, who I played on the show. On Wednesday, a few friends and I started the Thanksgiving celebration around 2 p.m. and ended at Del Taco at 2:30 a.m. It was a busy week. : )

The Halloween after party at Press Pass Music - Show #5 - 11-01-08

Happy Halloween Weekend!!!!!!!!

So here's what happened:
I was up at 7:30 a.m. Friday and stayed awake until 8:30 a.m. Saturday. It was my first alnighter while I have been a DJ... and oh it was a good time. Dressed as my alter ego aka Wonderwoman, 5 ladies and I party hopped in Newport then to Huntington.....ending the night at a friend's house at 3 a.m. playing Rockband and singing Pat Benetar. I went to the show still as Wonderwoman.... I played Halloweenish tunes by local musicians and passed out when I got home.

Then last night, my friend Nina and I continued the celebration by going to a lame club opening in Newport Beach but we walked right in and walked right out.... and rushed over to Durty Nelly's for some karaoke! We rocked out to Pat Benetar's "Heartbreaker ( yes, I have been obsessed with this song all weekend.... but you know I would have sang Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" if someone hadn't sang it already). Here are pics from last night... since I have a feeling the third member of our trio who assisted with our routine will be checking out my blog, well if he knows what's good for him. :P Oh and we also met McLovin!! ; )
