Marriott Show a Smashing Success

The show at the Marriott downtown Los Angeles turned out to be an overwhelming success ! We actually had to upgrade to a bigger ballroom, we packed in 300 plus. Mike Marino brought in a surprise host, Frazer Smith, and he was awesome. I had my hands full, coordinating the room rental, arranging for the film crew, and the company that brought in the back drop curtain, and also the sound people. Brian Sheil, brought in an outstanding crew for the 3 camera shoot, he lit the audience and stage beautifully. He said the taping turned out great, and now he is starting the editing process. Hopefully the DVD will be available in a few weeks. Ofcourse Mike Marino, headlined and just killed for over an hour !. I can't thank Mike enough for making this show a winner, as he always does.

One Week From Today

Well everything is in place for the big show next Saturday night.  We had some last minute challenges with the space at the Marriott, but everything is working out.  The film crew that is shooting the DVD is ready to go.  We have another company bringing in the curtain for the backdrop.  Ticket sales are great, we are limited to 200 seats, 30 more to go in the next few days, and we will be sold out.  I will be rehearsing my set intensely until the day before the show.  Mike Marino is ready to blow the room apart as usual, I could not have a better headliner.  Back to rehearsing.
