OK I know you're all just dying to hear of my adventures, so I'll spill. I made reservations inside the Waldorf's restaurant to get me in the door. First off got stuck in an hours worth of traffic so we missed the dinner reservations. No big deal, by the time we got to The Waldorf there was a TV camera crew set up in the lobby to catch the incoming celebs. There was no security set up into the several hotel entrances, due to "business as usual" and most of the people there had no clue what was going on. So we saw some famous people such as Michael J. Fox, John McEnroe (big RS fan btw) a group from the Saturday Night Live cast, Paul Shaefer and his band, a bunch of bling-wearing Rap Stars like Jay-Z, Furious, Grand Master Flash, someone who I think was Art Garfunkel, someone from REM who I dont know his name (the cute one), Aretha and her entourage, and some other famous looking people who I recognised but couldn't name. Men wore expensive suits and formal wear for the ladies in attendance, TV execs and record industry insiders (saw Clive Davis and his "people"). The ceremony itself was in the Grand Ball Room so everyone going there had to take certain elevators, and my friend and I waited by the elevators looking for extra tickets. We spoke to the security crew, and the way it was set up inside the ballroom was round tables and chairs, so it wasn't like a theater where we could just slip by and take a seat in the dark. You had to know somebody. Anyway, there were tickets for sale with a price tag of $15,000.00!!! Yikes!! I could have greased my way in for a mere $3,000 but I don't have that much grease!!! So we pretended to have tickets and took the elevator up, stood outside of the entrance to the Ballroom where the "talent" entered. From there we saw more people in the orchestra and the bands entering with wardrobe and make-up people. We could hear the show, but it was muffled, so we stayed there thru Aretha's set and she sang loud so we heard her. Then we decided to hit the bar and order the Waldorf salads and hang around for the after party that we were hoping to get into. After a while we got tired of waiting (the "connection" was a bodyguard but he was a No Show!) so we went home because we both had to be at work at 9 am the next morning. So that's it! No KEEF, no big major stars but a night out in NY, and that's always fun. I love NY! Oh, outside the hotel were dozens of Rolls Royces, Limos, and black MB's, drivers waiting. Very impressive overall, top notch if you have the CONNECTIONS |

Thanks for the review, Bitch!
What gets me is that none of the people who organise this back-slapping fest 'honouring' rock'n' roll sees (or cares)how..er..un-rock n roll it is to ask people to pay a five figure sum to get a ticket. |

There's a "cute one" in REM??? |

$15,000? I'm floored. I've never even made 15,000 in a year's time in all my life. Amazing. |

I'm sure it was much better on TV anyway. At least then you could get a beer when Jann Wenner went into hypberbole overdrive. |

Colonic irrigation would be a more pleasant alternative than listening to Wenner droning on |

He really was stultifying boring. And he had such a great topic to go on about too! He's another Algore. |

You've done both? |

Well it was worth a shot! I saw some celebs, had a few laughs, and it was fun night out for a Monday! I had no idea of the seating arrangements or the outrageous ticket prices!
Plus, and there was the a chance of getting into the after-party where KEEF supposedly was invited to (wishful thinking, and possible bullshit from a guy I met in AC). If I would have stayed home, there would of been no chance at all! |

I would've done the same thing you did, if I had the time and was close by... Why not? |

Yo, Bitch!

You represented!

Your effort has been duly noted. |

From Blabbermouth.net:
"I totally encourage the thing with Dave," Hagar said. "If VAN HALEN has any move they should do for the fans right now, it's to do a reunion with Dave." ...
"If we all grew up, including me, maybe all of us could do it together," Hagar said of future VAN HALEN touring. "I'm down with that."
A Van Halen tour with Roth AND Hagar?!!?!?!! Hagar may have the best attitude of the whole bunch of them.
I think that that is the equivalent of Ron Wood saying he'd want Mick Taylor to play some slide guitar on stage with him and the Stones this year. |

Hey Bitch! Sorry you didn't run into Keith, but it sounds like you had a good time anyway. Wish I could've been there with ya, but it just wasn't in the cards. I salute you for your tenacity!

I see by the photos that Keith is using a lot of filler/hair additions ....has he effectively covered the bald crown area? Some shows he had good coverage, others he did not cover the crown area, and the baldness was very evident....sad to see this ... |

It doesn't bother me that Keith is balding...hey, that's the way it is. I love him just the same. Alas, jb, not all men are blessed with a full, luxurious mane such as yours.
