MiG was getting photographed from every direction since there were stairs behind him, and he took it all in stride as usual. I couldn't help my creative photography side from coming out! You never know when those photos may come in handy for Photoshop. The Australian is a nice place - very welcoming. The dining room has lot of natural light. They were so cool and gave great service, even though we didn't order dinner for quite some time from our prime location in front of MiG. Our servers were awesome. Matt bent over backwards for us. In fact, the staff kept ducking under the video cameras so they wouldn't ruin the vids! LOL

You're welcome for the cellcerts. My new cell plan no longer costs me an arm and a leg for roaming, so that helped. I'll post some photos tomorrow night.

The Australian was, in deed, a really great club with great service and good food. It was to my great benefit that MiG was going to be late starting the show because parking at the Australian does not become free until 7 p.m. Unfortunately, I paid at a parking meter then was informed that the only vehicles that could park in those spots and pay prior to 7 p.m. were limos and taxis but they wouldn't tow my car if I stayed with it until 7 p.m. Donna and I took our stuff in and found Kay. Donna stayed inside while I went back out to stay with the car til 7. We found out when we got there that MiG had to go out to get something and the show would not start at 6:30 but later so I breathed a sigh of relief. At 5 til 7 MiG came back up the street with whatever he had needed to go get. I counted down the minutes til 7 p.m. then went inside to find Donna and Kay again. I patted MiG on the hand as I went by. He was setting up his keyboard but took time to give me a hug and kiss before I went to sit down with Donna and Kay. MiG asked us not to post any of the vids we took at the show online because he had just gotten the keyboard and was seeing how it would work. Later, he relented and told us we could post one video. It was of him doing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" with three backup singers. Early in MiG's second set he sang Kiss From a Rose and a fellow Aussie, Cody, decided to join in on the "baby" part (even singing it-as usual- when you aren't supposed to). MiG, as usual, got a big kick out of that. Toward the end of the second set, a couple more guys joined Cody to sing "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" with MiG. We didn't get their names but one of them (who had a Jason Mraz hat on) was trying to get Donna's attention with his dancing and singing but she contined to film MiG so he turned his attention my direction and decided to act out the lyric, "I'd get down on my knees for you" falling to his knees in front of me with his arms open and singing along with MiG. I was in stitches but he wasn't a half-bad singer. I gave Jaunty a cellcert and it made her cry. I felt bad about that but she said it was happy tears and it was good because MiG's voice was gorgeous. The evening ended at about 11:30. I dropped Kay at her hotel and Donna and I made our way back to the RRI in Secaucus, our home away from home to rest up and prepare for the next day at 8 Mile Creek. Here are some pix from the night: MiG at the very beginning of his first set. A man really into his music. Donna and Me. Me and Kay. Kay and Donna doing their media “thang.” MiG and Cody following Kiss From A Rose. A close up of Cody: “Da Boyz” getting down with MiG on You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling. “Da Boyz” 2. MiG packing it in and getting ready to leave.

I wanted to post the group pic of the boyz on the Australian website, but unfortunately they don't have a place for customers to post photos, nor do I find them on fb

Next time I get to NYC, I must check out the place. I think it's not far from where we got that cheap hotel room. I would love to go when MiG is playing!

I think you'd like it Toni. Anywhere MiG plays is an awesome destination.
