Have a good time seeing MIG tonight - will want details tomorrow.
I hope you're ready for a very long post.
Hello everyone!
Where to start, where to start.... We got to the club shortly after 7:00pm, we did take the world tour of Boston since we got lost for a while. When we went in the place still had plenty of tables empty. They first sat us at about the mid point, which wasn't bad, but they definately would have better seats that would be opening up. I could see a table pretty close to the front that were getting their bill, so I set my sights on that one.
I asked the waiter if we could move to it once the people left and he said sure. The employees of Bob's were very nice to us by the way. While we were waiting for the table, first I saw Darryl come in, who I later met, very, very talented musician. Then following right behind him was MiG. I couldn't believe I was seeing him in such a small place, it was so surreal. He just walked in as if he was going to have dinner there like everyone else. I then noticed members of MiG's fan club talking to him, so when they sat back down at their table, I got up to talk to them. They were very nice and offered us chairs at their table, but we had food coming so in order not to be in the way we ate at our table. About ten minutes later I saw Leeann and Donna (fan club members) again talking to MiG at the bar area, so I asked my husband should I go over and talk to him? I was so nervous and my husband said you should, so I got up the nerve and went over and introduced myself and said something lame like I loved you on Rockstar. Leeann then asked if I had a camera, which I did, so my husband took a picture of us together and it actually came out good for a change. I went and sat back down after talking with him for a minute or so, shortly later MiG started his first set.
The first set was great. It was just MiG and Darryl at that point. He sounded wonderful. I can't remember all the songs, but I know he did "Wake me up when September ends" and it was awesome, so much better than the original. They played for around a half hour and then went back and sat with Donna, Leeann and Claire. Claire then was motioning me to come and talk to him, so we did and they made room for us at the table. We could have asked him anything, he was so open. I asked questions about the show, told him I loved the scene when Simi visits, we asked about who he liked on the show and he basically mentioned every name. My husband asked if it was hard being a musician trying to make it in the states and he told us all about how it works and how he thought after Rockstar there would just be offers flowing in because the producers lead him to believe that would be the case, but he really had to make his own way after the show. We talked to him for an hour as if he was someone we had known forever, watched while he ate his salad, how crazy this all was. He just is so nice! He told us how he and Darryl rented a van in Chicago and drove it to Philadelphia and then to Boston, they must have been so tired.
He went on the do his second set around 10:15pm. He only got to do a few songs, when the manager went to talk to him, this particular bar becomes a rapping poetry session every night around 10:00pm so they started integrating the poets in since probably 95% of the cliental had come in to see the rapping poets. It was too bad because the place had really picked up by then. The poets performed for probably 20 minutes, then MiG got to sing again, I think it was a couple of songs, then the poets got back on stage. By this time it was 11:00pm and my husband likes to get to work at the crack of dawn so we called it a night. MiG was crouched down by one of the exits listening to the poet, so I said let's go out this way so we can say goodbye. He immediately stood up and thanked me for coming and gave me a hug and I kissed him on the cheek. Wow, I'm thinking did all this just happen? It was an amazing night, I couldn't believe the access we had and I hope to see him again at the Hardrock on Friday night.
I hope this wasn't too long, if I become computer literate, I'll post the picture I have of us.
Having spent most of the day reading spoilers on another site, I was pretty confident once Dana sang that Toby was safe (one spoiler said that ONE of the bottom 3 skipped practice). So during the commercial, I had it all worked out in my mind and was starting to relax a little. Then Brooke said "Toby...." Good LORD! I nearly died. But thankfully, Toby is safe and will rock on for another week (or more!!)
What was she thinking
