News From The Road

The LA show was not anywhere near LA. It's about 60 miles away from Hollyweird - as the crow flies. Unfortunately the crows don't take I15, and we did. 2 1/2 hours later we got to the gig. Paul Stanley gave Joe one of his signature model guitars backstage which I thought was a cool gesture.

On Tuesday Oct. 21st, Steven and Joe spent the day in a film studio doing a few commercials for the NFL. One of them aired this past Monday and one of the other commercials, a version of the old Troggs song, "Wild Thing," will air sometime soon.

In Albuquerque Joe shot the cover of a Magazine called "Fiery Foods." Look for it at finer newsstands in the next month or so. There is also a great interview in there, too. On a side note, Joe's guest spot on "Food Finds" is set for January on the Food Network. Set those Tivo's and VCR's now.

Rock Royalty photographer, Ross Halfin, was out in Sacramento shooting both Aerosmith and Kiss. He managed to have both bands squeeze into a small corridor for a quick photo session. No word yet if he managed to insult anybody at the venue.

VEGAS!

Whoever decided to book Vegas at the end of the leg is a genius. I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep and can vouch for half the crew and a few Porch Ghouls.

It was pretty wild. Elvis impersonators, women body builders and even an on stage wedding! I'm not sure if the people coming into the MGM Grand Gardens that night knew what was going on when the ushers asked them, "Bride or groom?" but I bet they had an idea when they checked the back of their ticket stub and it said "Chicken or Fish"?

Steven's daughter, Mia, tied the knot with Papa Roach skin beater, Dave Buckner, right before the band played Walk this Way and it was a perfect ending to a Vegas Vacation.

On a sad note: I feel really bad that the Yankees lost to Florida
in 6 games. The Yankees gave it their all and deserved to win
their 98th World Series in the past 100 years.
Better luck next year guys.
