| Wow what a night. I'm sick as a dog right now and going back to bed but a brief recap. Joan Jett showed up with Carmen Electra as her date, so the night was a sucess from the get go. Hooked up with K-lo and Mp1975 from the board early and saw Joe Rock later on. Saw the mayor briefly a few times, she looked stunning (if I wasn't a married man...) The boys showed up in a stretch limo and the crowd went beserk. Inside Joan Jett got her award and she looked smashing. Peter Criss got his and was pretty gracious. Then I went out side for a while and met Billy Joel, Paul Shaeffer,Peter Tork from the Monkees, WWE Superstar Mick Foley (a long time TS fan, I saw him at the first BB show at the Downtown) and a host of others. Got back inside to see the boys get their award. Great to see Phil Carson and Fingers on stage with them, as both have been a part of TS history. The bands acceptance speeches were way cool. MAM and DEE busting on the rest of the guys for not being native Long Islanders. Then I sprinted (ok we all know that chubsy ubsy doesnt sprint anywhere) to the press tent for the press conference. Pure hilarity. The boys were cracking jokes (AJ telling reporters I'm not in the band,I'm here for the Bud Light had me peeing in my pants!) I'll go into more detal later, but I asked if 2006 was really the last year and in true TS fashion Dee and JJ both stated that you just never know!!! So the doors still open!!! It was truly a great evening and this news just topped it off.
I didnt stick around for the Jam, as the show was running like 2 hours late, but rumor had it that some of the boys would jamming.
Good bye, back to bed for me. |
