OMG...MiG in a fedora!! ;D Laurie, thank you so much for posting the pics!! What a gorgeous picture of you all!! #bearhug# Nancy, I'm so pleased with the pics. They came out awesome! MiG has a smile that brightens a room - or in this case, a cloudy, rainy day. The pic of all of us was taken by MiG's aunt. She was great. She took everyone's camera and took each picture for us. What a great time...even though he really couldn't perform.

You know they say it's better late than never. So sorry that my body decided it needed rest more than I wanted it to and shut down on me right after I loaded my pictures to photobucket... Let me start off by saying that I had the most awesome time with Laurie, Wendy, Christina and her husband, Brain. We had our own little MiG posse. Brian remined me so much of the other MiG husbands I've met. He's very sweet and I KNOW that Christina has a picture of her and Brian with MiG because I took it for her on her camera. Laurie, Wendy and I left the hotel and headed for Exchange Place a little after 1 or so. Things were moving along well until we were actually in Jersey City with about four miles to go to get to Exchange Place. There was construction leading to the Holland Tunnel (which we didn't have to use since that goes into NYC) and prople were driving like idiots (I KNOW they do that in this part of the country so I wasn't suprised). Anyway, we arrived and were able to park just a couple blocks away from the plaza. The Philippine Idol competition was going on when we got there. The sun was shining and there was such a nice breeze coming off the river. We were looking for Christina. I took my purple hat (Refused to wear it cos it's more of a decoration at home) so Christina would recognize me. She was carrying a gold colored hat so I would recognize her. We saw each other simultaneously and she led us over to the back of MiG's tent where we stood and talked. She told usthat MiG was on his way but was stuck in the tunnel, now which tunnel she didn't know but I'm thinkin the Holland Tunnel since it was the one we passed on the way in. It was 1:45 so I knew he had nearly an hour to get there so I wasn't worried. At 2:30, the skies opened up with all their fury. Tents were blowing over, the chairs in front of the stage were blowing over and sliding all over the plaza and the tent with the mixing equipment completely blew over with some of the equipment actually rolling across the plaza toward one of the tents on the side. Just about that time MiG's tent started bouncing and was acting like it was going to go over too so I grabbed the cross bar at the back and held on for all I was worth while a very nice looking man grabbed the front crossbar and did the same. Brian had an umbrella and held it out to try to keep the rain off my back while the wind was blowing. It helped but the whole back of me was soaked as was my heir but I managed to keep the stuff I took with me for MiG and the pictures I took for the girls to have signed from getting wet so that was something. Anyway, the sun came back out and a few minutes later here comes MiG and Adam walking across the plaze with MiG looking frazzled...and wet but wearing that smile that lights up the whole place. He greeted his aunt then looked up and saw me standing behind her and held out his arms. I hugged him across the table then he came around the table. I told him I had the pleasure of introducing him to three "MiG virgins" so he came around the table and into the tent where Christina beat me to the introduction and introduced herself. MiG smiled at her, kissed her on both cheeks , hugged her and tahnked her for coming. Then it was Laurie's and Wendy's turns and they were given the same treatment. Then MiG tuned to me and said "I want to talk to you too.." He hugged me tight and said he had finally gotten to Decca on Thursday or Friday to pick up the box. He apologized for taking so long but that he actually got to use the afghan Saturday night because he had changed the bed linens and didn't want to mess them up so he used the afghan and he was "toasty". I asked about the one for Powder and he laughed, saying that Powder gets so hot she lays on her back on the wood floor to sleep. I'm going to post a few pictures now and please don't laugh at the hair.. mine or MiG's in the pictures cos these were before the group photo (sorry it's so dark cos my flash didn't go off). and here's my group shot: . Here's MiG with his Tita Ching (after he fixed the flash on my camera "It's the middle one for the flash"): and here's some arm porn for those of you who like that : I didn't get many pictures and none during the two songs but I got video of the end of WWRY and ALL of A Song For You which I will get done and up in the next couple days. I also want to tell those of you who had me deliver notes to MiG that he had them along with the little photo book I put together for him and he was going to take them with him on the plane. He was heading for London at 9 p.m. that night and it was already 5:30. Now, back to the pre non show. It looked like we were going to get to see a show after so MiG went off with his Uncle Ramon to get ready. No sooner did he leave than it clouded up and started to spit rain aqain. At least the wind wasn't as bad as before. MiG came back out about 4:15 and waited a few minutes before he jumped up on a table outside his tent and began the stomp, stomp, clap intro to WWRY! Laurie, Wendy and I hurried across the plaza from the building where we had taken shelter from the spitting rain. Poor Christina and Brian had gone of exploring and didn't get back til MiG's two songs were over so they missed him singing. Anyway, after he sang he continued to stay on the plaza and take picctures with peopole who asked him to. He had told me earlier to keep the 8 x10s I had printed for the girls dry and he would sign them. When there was a break I asked if he was ready to sign the photos and he said yes but he was sorry he hadn't gotten back to the car to get his silver marker. He had a black sharpie and signed the pictures. When it got to mine (a picture of him and Marty from Market Days, I asked if he knew Marty had left the Lovehammers and he said yes, that he wished him luck. I told him Marty was going to be an hour and half from me and I was thinking of going. MiG said if I did to tell him he said hi. I asked him if he had a chance to see the interview I did with Marty last December that was on You Tube. He looked up at me and said No. How do I find it? I told him to go to Team MiG's You Tube site cos it was a TM exclusive. There were people buying his cd and he was signing them. I knew he was getting ready to leave so I decided I had to take my chance and tell him we needed to talk. I wasn't sure even what I was going to say but I knew I had to say something or it would bother me for the rest of my life. I won't go into our conversation here except to say that MiG told me to tell everyone here that he loves us. His actually words were "Tell EVERYONE I love them." And one more thing, earlier in the day I told him I'd been a bad girl and had recorded his originals onto cassette then back onto the computer in MP3 format and he said, "I don't care about that, as long as people are listening to the songs I'm fine with it, share all you want." I was shocked by that... After MiG left the skies opened up again and we got drenched going to the car then it was back here. Two hours later I was finally eating solid food for the first time all day, which probably explains why I fell asleep at 9:30 and didn't wake up til nearly 4 a.m. Anyway, that's my recap and a few of my photos.

Thanks so much guys, for the pics and recaps. It sounds like it was quite a wild and wooley day, so typical for this time of year in the Eastern half of the U.S. ,lol. Sorry that MiG's actual concert was messed up, it would have been so nice for him to have been able to perform a full show in front of the Phil audiences, but it's so typical of him to carry on in any way he can. p.s. Glad you all got home safely!!!
