Here's my report:
WOW! #wow# What a night! Not only did I meet MiG **big smile**, but Brandon pulled him up on stage & he perfermed "Hard To Handle"! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! So, thank you Gee & Nance for talking me into going on Tuesday night when we talked on the phone & wearing the Team MiG baseball jersey (it comes into play later!). Let me start at the beginning... I pm'd Michele on our board in time & I met up with her & her fiancee inside The Roxy. Now, they were smart! I had found out that the only seating was in VIP, but they were there so early that it wasn't VIP yet & they sat down at a table (this comes into play later as well!). Before Deanna came out to do her set, Michele & I stood in front of the stage. A few mintues before she came out, we saw Brandon Calhoon walk out to watch her set. So we go over to him, introduce oursleves, & he notices my shirt! We said we are from Team MiG, & I said I write for the newsletter on that website. He took a pic with us, was very nice (tall too!), & said MiG was going to be here! I about fell over! #thud# It's a good thing I'm an actress! I think I said something like, 'Oh, really." Then we went back to our spot, & Deanna performed. She was amazing! She sounds great in person! She did perform acoustically her originals, & 1 cover of Janis Joplin's "Piece of my Heart," & kicked butt doing it! If I recall correctly, during Deanna's set we heard that MiG had arrived. Michele noticed where he was sitting but I did not. So as we walking up to the now VIP section & our table (we don't get stopped b/c we were already there!), whose black hair, head & shoulders do I immediately recognize sitting at the booth across the aisle from our table? That's right, MiG! I was trying really hard not hyperventilate or go into an anxiety attack! #lol# He had his cell phone in his hand & was talking to the guy sitting next to him. So we waited. Just as I was about to get up, MiG came over! Talk about timing! I said, "Hi, I'm Stacy." He said, "Hi, I'm MiG," & held out his hand. I shook it, & said, "Gee, really!?" Always a gentleman, introducing himself even tho' he clearly didn't need to with his pic on my shirt & everything! #lol# I told him who I was, co-editor of the newsletter. He proceeded to compliment the baseball jersey caricature pic! Then we took pix. One of MiG & me, one of Michele & MiG, & one of all 3 of us together. **big smile** Then he said he would talk to me later! OMG, I barely kept it together that time! Ty started his set, & we had to fight to get our spot again b/c more peolpe had arrived. Ty was in the zone, rocked out, & kicked ass! He did all orginals. Ty was the one rocker we didn't get a chance to talk to & take pix with. After his set was over, he disappeared. When we walked back to our table, I had to say "excuse me" to get past a gentleman who was blocking my way. As I did that he said, "I called Simmy (she was there too), & told her, 'you're never gonna guess! There's a girl sitting at the table in front of me with a Team MiG shirt on!'" So they knew someone from Team MiG was there before they even arrived! #lol# I said regarding the shirt, "Hey, any way to get promotion! ; ) A girl already asked me for the website addy, & of course I gave it to her." Brandon's set started, & we stayed at the table for the first few songs b/c we were getting tired! But to get pix, we ended up getting to the front of the stage, a little to the side b/c people had already started to leave. As I was standing there, all of a sudden MiG appears with his camera & starts taking pix of Brandon! I think I did a double take! It was just such a shock to see MiG standing there! Then he went back to standing with Simmy a few feet behind & diagonal to me. Simmy stood in front of him & danced, & he had his hands on her hips one time. Awwwwwwwww! They are so cute together! And, hey, I only peeked back a few times! Brandon got hot & started to sweat so he said he needed to take off a few layers of shirts. Then he said, "This is my MiG Ayesa impression"! The stripper music kicked in & Brandon proceeded to take off a long sleeved top & wore his tank top. LOL! Later on, Brandon asked Suzie McNeil to come up & sing a song! She did & sang Stevie Wonder's "Superstitious"! She sounded amazing on that song! Then he said something to the effect of, 'Since my Rock Star friends are here tonight, MiG Ayesa, why don't you come up & sing a song.' I nearly passed out! I was going to hear MiG sing tonight! MiG walked right past me & hopped up on stage. He walked up to the mic & said, "Hi, I'm MiG Ayesa." But what was funny was that the the mic was taller b/c Brandon is tall, so MiG jumped up & down like he was on a pogo stick! After joking about the mic stand MiG said, "Hold on, we have to figure out what we are going to do." So after a few minutes, the guitar strings of "Hard to Handle" started, MiG smiled that gorgeous smile, & sang, "Baby, here I am..." #wootrock# IMO, he has never sounded better. His voice was in top notch form; he didn't miss a note, he worked the crowd, & I still can't take my eyes off of him when he's on stage. I was in absolute heaven singing along to every word! Then when he was done he stood at the foot of the stage close to Michele & me & acted like he was going to stage dive & wanted all of us in the area to catch him! He didn't; he jumped off the stage & went back to Simmy. Brandon thanked him, & then MiG blew one of those famous kisses! BTW, Brandon put on an amazing rock'n'roll set himself! The show was over, & Michele & I turned around & started walking over to the table. Simmy stopped me, & this time she complimented the shirt! I introduced myself, then she told a quick anecdote about when she & MiG did "Pokemon." She said, 'Hey it was work! MiG's caricature for Pokemon looked like him just as this one does. It really captured his features.' I sooooooooooo would have loved to talk to her some more; she is lovely & petite in person! But someone else wanted to talk to her... Then Michelle & I were gathering our belongings, & MiG came back. He thanked me for the work I do. He said Laura had called while he was there. I said I had tried to call Nancy & we laughed about all of that! I asked for a hug, & he said sure! #bearhug# So after we hugged, I looked him straight in the eyes & said, "We are not going anywhere." He had a quizzical look. Then I said, "Laura had said you were worried, so I want you to know we love you & we're not going anywhere." He knew what I was talking about. He put his hand on my arm & said goodbye. Michele has the pix, so when she has the time today she will put them up or send to Laura, I don't know! I forgot to ask!
I love you all! Going to go to bed at almost 6 am my time on Miggy cloud 9 in the stratosphere!
Miggy love & squishes, Stacy
Edited to say: I forgot to say, yes, Michele & I talked to Deanna for a few minutes & had our pic taken with her! She is quite beautiful & petite.
Edited again to say: All of you are going to throw things at me! **ducks in corner with bowl for protection** MiG also said to me, "I love you guys!" He was talking about Team MiG! He loves us! Commence throwing! I am so sorry I forgot to add that sooner. Please forgive. **on knees, groveling**

Stacy, I'm so happy for you! I would have loved to be there with you (obviously), but just couldn't work it out. Next time, though! In the meantime, enjoy the "afterglow" -- I remember it well! Donna

Stacy & Michelle!!!
Oh, I'm soooooo happy for you guys that you got to meet and speak with MiG and Simmy!!! I was pretty sure MiG would make it to that gig since it's in his own backyard. I so wish I was in LA for situations like that...being in Seattle I would have to know in ADVANCE when he would be at a gig to be able to make it down. *sniff sniff*
Can't wait for the photos and video!!!
You girls ROCK!!!
Sophia xoxoxoxox
