How cool is that?!

As I look more into Blogger here I find that there are lots of cool little support features, etc.
This post, for instance, is being written inside of a cool dashboard widget (mac of course!).
It's great for quick little entries.

Back home

Ah, it's good to be back home in the relative peace and quiet of the Costa del Sol.
California was a lot of fun, and it was an amazing personal experience for me. I was fortunate enough to be involved in the high level discussions about eWorld's exciting Boomerang product, and to spend time with some impressive industry-leaders.

For all of you that couldn't attend the party on Thursday, you missed a good one! People like Russ Reagen (the guy who signed Elton John), the legendary producer and promoter Don Grenough, actresses Sally Kirkland and Cybil Danning, producer Doug McHenry (New Jack City, etc), me :-) and others were there. The music was great too!

Rehearsing that day at SIR was Jeffery Osbourne, so that was cool to hang out and listen to him and his band.

Anyway, I had a good time... pics of Hollywood to come.

Hollywood

Spending time in the Mecca of Movies....

(yes I took that picture from Hollywood and Highland).
Can't say as I'd want to live here, but it is a fascinating place. Even the street names are part of our popular culture... Mulholland, Sunset Blvd, Hollywood and Vine.
Pretty cool!

Off to LA

I head off to LaLaLand next week for a couple of days. I've never really been to Hollywood, so this is almost exciting if it weren't for the fact that I am only going to be there for 3 days.
The reason for the trip is to liase with eWorldEntertainment. CostaFilma are going into an interesting deal (details to be revealed this weekend and at the event).

The event is open to the public. It's Thursday, June 14th at 7:30pm at SIR Studios in Hollywood. Maybe see you there?

Tori Amos in Milan

We flew up to Milan (yes, Italy!) to see Tori Amos play at the Teatro Smeraldo. I've seen Tori quite a few times (I think this was my 5th time) and I have to say that this show was the best. Partly because she was playing with a band - I find her solo shows and they way she... stops... songs.......at..wierd...points very annoying. But with the band she was rocking!
She did, of course, some stuff from the new album, but the majority of the show, it seemed to me, was made up of old stuff. Even 'Liquid Diamonds' made a rare appearance!



The show appeared to be all but sold out - with a surprising cross section in attendance. Of course there were the feminist cheerleaders, but lots of men and a few old fogies like myself.
The girl in front of me seemed bored though, I think she was only their because of her friend.

Tori's daughter (I believe) hung out at the side of the stage for the first few numbers.

Someone's posted some videos from the show.
