ELVIS COSTELLO IS THE KING

By -
I have 2 Brothers and the 3 of us are as different as Day or Night except our love for Music. One Brother Met singer ELVIS COSTELLO after his show in Chicago and the other backstage at the Royal Albert Hall in London all in the past Year. I was still hoping for the opportunity as he was on my bucket list and when I learned of him playing at a venue in Orlando ,I had to give it a try.
After the show I wandered back to where his buses were to an area that is built like a fortress and totally unapproachable for meeting any stars or getting an autograph. As I walked up ,security asked if I was going to the meet and greet and with out any hesitation I responded " Sure". I was escorted to an area with about 50 people who waited for Elvis to appear. Entering a side door, he came out smiling,dressed warm even though it was quite muggy and wearing his trademark hat. When it was my turn I bragged about my brothers meeting him before and chatted about his music and life in general. He was kind, attentive and signed and took pictures with all. Having finally meeting him , I was so impressed with his style and caring for his fans. I have said it before,sometimes someone You always wanted to meet turns out to be a bust but in the case of ELVIS COSTELLO it will be a highlight that I will never forget.

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach...

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th...
