Air Supply back in Lincoln City!!

Well, it took 5 1/2 years, but this past Friday and Saturday "my boys" finally made it back to where I started with them. The shows were wonderful, and Russell made comments both on his web site and on the official site about how beautiful it was even though it rained like crazy Saturday. (well, and most of Friday...LOL) Graham mentioned in both shows about how much he liked it here. (i knew that...he loves the beach and I was really hoping for some decent weather while they were here.) He said it was very romantic watching the waves crash on the shore even though it was pouring rain. He spent the afternoon sitting at his window...feeding seagulls....LOL..he said they were probably waiting for him to get back. He said he called room service and ordered 4 loaves of bread. ROTFL.....

Russ was pretty darn good! I had a couple friends there who were drooling over him the whole time. LOL...They had me paying a bit more attention to the man and his muscles. LOL... I was really wanting to meet him. Perhaps next time around. I did get "Jed Hugs" both nights. Ran into him before the shows. Tracey spotted Mike (who I did talk to after the Friday show for just long enough to welcome him back...he said he was very glad to be back!) before Friday's show.

The guys were "dismissed" for Fridays M&G which I HATE when they do that! (did the same thing at Spirit MT last year) They had the stupid thing outside the showroom, which i have never seen at this casino before. They always have it inside. Security was hustling people right along. (sheesh) Saturday they didn't do one at all. Some of the guys in the band were jamming with the house band at the lounge in the hotel.

Amazing Anglesey pictures!

Well, I've had the wonderful fortune to connect with an incredible photographer who lives in Anglesey. (Wales, for the uninitiated) His name is Glyn Davies, and he has actually published a book of Anglesey pics. I'm looking into the possibility of actually purchasing it, but haven't gotten that far yet. http://www.glyndavies.com/shop.php?l=0&fp=49286&gid=280

Wanted to get it down on here first. Go check out his work. You won't be disappointed!

Technology gets it right!

Well, thank you to the people at VSO Image Resizer for Windows Vista! I actually like it better than the one from XP as you can do a bunch at one time! Pretty cool! It's about time someone developed one that worked well on Vista. I was begining to think I'd have to spring big bucks for a photo editing program that had one in there. (the 2 that i use don't have that feature )

Not enough time for posting

Well, I realize that I have been neglecting this page due to my recent emergency trip to Idaho, as well as my new obsession with FaceBook. I have been connecting with a lot of people from my past (think RHS and "Good Company" days) and crazy as it seems, I'm really enjoying it. It's quite fun to see where people have ended up, and what they look like now. There are other I would like to find; perhaps with time and patience (and the internet) I soon will.

No word on our class reunion for this summer, and now it's too late for me to do anything about it anyway. I've made vacation plans for Utah and Vegas, so unless it happens to be the same time, I won't be going. Nobody seems to know anything about it anyway. (you'd thing some of the people who are still in the Rigby area would know something..."do ya hear me Craig???")

Concerts are in less than 3 weeks now, and I must admit I'm ready for one. (ok...2) I'm looking forward to picking up a good friend at PDX, as well as spending time with other long lost friends who will be attending. Some people from Wallys are going also; that will be fun to share my "midlife crisis" with them. If nothing else, they will enjoy watching me watch the guys. LOL....

I'm also on a kick to get some old pics scanned into Mr. Computer. I didn't realize I had so many of them until I started going through albums. (dang, I was a cute kid! LOL.....)

The 2 Russells

Well, I hear from reliable sources that the newest addition to Air Supply, guitarist Russ Letizia, sounds great with the band and is a nice guy too. (once again I'm guilty of swiping the pics, this time from Russ's MySpace page.) I'll get the chance to see/hear for myself in 4 weeks. (Assuming he will still be around by then.) :d)

Frankie

OK...I had to go get nosy about just who shot that UTUBE video I stuck in the previous post. You'd think I'd learn not to ask questions like that, but NOOOO.... Anyway, regardless it was fun to watch him. I've decided that he looks like a cross between Jonni and Jed though. LOL.... He is a cutie, no matter how ya look at him. (I swiped the pic from his Facebook page...sorry Frankie, but hey...good publicity, right? heehehee)

Air supply video

A nifty clip of Air Supply last weekend in California . Thanks to my dear friend Khan (who was at this show, but did not film this clip) for providing the link. Some good views of Frankie Moreno who is filling in for Jed this month, (and looks remarkably like Jed) also new guitar player Russ Letizia. I've never seen Graham in short sleeves in any of the shows I've been too; different look for him. The guys look and sound great as always, and whets the appetite for next months shows here in Oregon. (The person who filmed this was apparently obsessed with Mr. Moreno...LOL)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUuc7sosZLY
