Wanda,
Thanks for sharing. That is a great recap of the day. I'm so glad you got to talk to MiG. Makes the trip worthwhile even though you didn't get a real concert. As always, MiG was at the top of his game. I so appreciate hearing all about it.

Wanda - "Help help me Wanda"....OMG! Like I can't believe he sang that to you!!! Even if MiG didn't do his little 2 song performance, I was happy just to be in the tent with him. At one point when he moved out of the tent, the 4 of us had our cameras pointed at him. I said to Wendy, "Look at us, we are his groupies!"
It was great to represent Team MiG. It was an honor to do this and I'm glad that I was able to go. Next time though, I want to meet some more MiG fans!!!

I just wanted to say that we were soooooooo lucky while in Jersey City. The weather was really bad - thunder and lightning. There we were, huddled in a tent with metal poles holding it up. Nice, huh? They had two people on the news this morning who were electrocuted Sunday afternoon. One in NJ and the other in NY. They were both on talking and seemed to be ok, thank god. We recently had a mini tornado come through my town which had some extensive damage, and now this. The weather has been so crazy lately!

OMG, Laurie, I forgot the "Help, help me WANDA!" I know I rolled my eyes at him when he did that. Thank you for spilling that little tidbit...Too bad Donna wans't there cos then you'd have gotten to hear him do the chorus of Richie Valens, Oh, Donna for her. She and I are...MiG's words not ours, "Thelma and Louise." I'm assuming for our cross-country trips to see him. Maybe next time. I'll be posting some of Christina's pictures as soon as I get them to download from Yahoo...part of them downloaded and the others are in limbo right now. She was having trouble uploading to Photobucket so I told her I'd do that for her. She and her husband, Brian, got some really good shots...including one looking out over the Hudson during the storm... Thunderbolts and Lightening, very, very frightening in deed...
Oh, and another nugget from Sunday. Someone, a Filipino journalist I think, asked MiG if they were going to bring WWRY to Manila. He said they actually tried but they couldn't coordiinate the venue with the dates available but he was still going to strive for that because he would like to do it in Manila. Someone else asked him how long it had been since he was last there and he said December 2006 for a week and that he misses going there when he gets so busy like he has been but he likes the perks of keeping this busy.

Finally, here's Christina's pictures. There's a total of 13 of them but three or four are of Exchange place including one she took during the rain storm so I'll post those first then the ones of MiG after. EXCHANGE PLACE: , , and I'm thinking this one was during the SECOND storm, the less powerful one: . I'll do the MiG pix in a second post.

Now, for the MiG pix. , Tita Ching is a good photographer, isn't she? This was where MiG said "she should be able to take pictures, she's a doctor": . The next two are ones I took for Christina with her camera: MiG & Christina: and Christina, MiG and Brian: . MiG talking with Christina (Tita Ching in the background) courtesy of Brian: . Another Christina and MiG, this one courtesy of Brian: . Brian captured us deep in conversation. The gentleman over Christina's shoulder with his back to us is Adam: . The last two are MiG outside the tent AFTER THE FIRST STORM: & . Hope you all enjoy the pictures. Now we're just waiting for Wendy's...We've had mine and Laurie's and Christina's.

Great pics, thanks for posting! Right now we are getting one of those wild and wooly T-storms. *e2a* Well, looks like my cable tv is out, the modem is going out and rebooting, so I may be MIA tonight. And Darrell seems to be stuck out in the 'beer barn'. hahahaha, as if that's a big problem to him!!!!

Sooooo - after the storm we thought Mig was going to be able to perform....he was hanging around in the tent and going to and fro...but the rain started up again and the planned show was not to be...once the second rain storm had stopped Mig gave us the impromptu 2 songs atop the table as the festival was pretty much being taken down and the sky threatened rain yet gain.
I was able to catch half of We Will Rock You
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQbF9gpfp5Y
and all of A Song For You
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJHy0QwZG5M
But you can hear how strongly the wind was blowing in most of the video... oh well better than nothing!
Anyway! Like Laurie said - I was sooo thrilled to meet Mig and spend the time with him under the tent that it didn't really matter so much that the show couldn't go on. He said he won't be back inthe States until Sept. I HOPE that he plans some gigs in or around the City when he gets back!!
