  • Diana Krall


    So how was the concert?  I don't know.  Good I suppose.


    ?? Didn't you see it??  No, I had to work during the concert.


    Well, at least you got her autograph.  Nope.


    A picture with her?  Nope.


    Did you meet her?  Yes, we had a small conversation.


    The problem with events management is that usually, you don't get to attend the event at all.  All these fuck ups to smooth over to make it look like we've got everything in control when in fact it's like trying to handle a newly caught fish that's flipping and flapping in your hands.


    But I guess it does get a lot better...


    She needed a Chinese doctor and an aunt of mine hooked her up with one that she was very happy with.  She personally thanked me, asked why I didn't meet with her earlier and if I would be hanging out with them for the rest of the Asian tour so she could have a real chat with me.  Really nice woman she is.


    So now that Shanghai is done, they are going to fly me to catch her concert in Hong Kong as part of the audience.  Backstage passes, autograph and photo to come soon!


    And I pick up Ming today!

  • Lately...


    ... I have had the strangest feeling...


    That song was done so well by Jodeci, where the hell are they now?   I thought they were coming out with another CD soon?  Wanna hear some of that DeVante Swing shit.


    So this Diana Krall concert is really going to happen, and I'm the man!  We're arranging for a couple of S-Class Mercedes Benz to go pick her up from Pudong Airport (Ming, I'll see if I can save them for when you get here too - otherwise, I'll pick you up in the standard VW Santana).


    And during this whole Diana Krall adventure, I've met some pretty cool people and done some pretty cool things.  A Canadian boat err... Warship is docking in Shanghai on the 25th, the second day of the concert and a bunch of seamen will be going to see the concert.  On the 26th, the Trade Commissioner of Canada has invited me to tour the boat err... ship.


    But it looks like I won't be coming back to Toronto until Chinese New Year 2003 .  I changed my ticket from August 2nd, 2002 til the farthest date possible, January 31st, 2003 and don't intend to go back until February.  I'm missing so much over there, and I miss you guys man... you haven't been updating me with pics!!!  But it's great because a whole bunch of people come out to Shanghai every once in a while... so far


    Paul & Nancy
    Mom & Dad
    Selina and friends
    Mercy
    Margaret
    Gigi & Cheryl
    Marv
    and soon Ming


    So if any of you come to SH, look me up!!

    My friend Andy is this guy that Nick introduced to me.  He used to be an i-banker in California, then got shifted to London and then got cut at MSDW, 27 year old.  He is now in Shanghai doing what most of us do when we lose our job and have nothing else better to do... party in a new city overseas.


    I like telling fukked up stories people tell me, and his happened in college.  He was at a frat party, got completely hammered and real horny.  Horny to the point that just about anyone would do, and he got talking with a slightly larger female.  They ended up doing the nasty and on the next morning, with a terrible hangover, he woke up beside her.  She started trying to small talk with him, and then jokingly said something like, "We probably won't be seeing each other again huh?  You probably don't even remember my name do you?  Haha..."  That haha turned into a frown when a confused Andy didn't respond to her enquiry.  "You do remember my name don't you?  Andy?"  "Uhh... heh, no."  The angry slightly larger girl got up, picked up a marker and wrote across the wall of his bedroom in big letters:


    J E N N I F


    When Andy realized what she was doing, he was so angry that he got up, took his pants down, and pissed on her.


    BIATCH!
