[Two blog entries in one week...miracles do still exist!]

I went to the Michael Buble concert @ TPAC last night. We had fine seats (thanks to my little brother!) in Loge Right, Row A. We arrived a bit late due to the fab dinner we had @ Capitol Grille (the restaurant @ The Hermitage Hotel). We asked for our fav server Terry and he was great, as usual. He also brought us some tasty chef creations, a spot of his latest fav wine, and 3 different creme brulees - on the house!

Although I was enjoying the songs and Michael was quite good live (a bit crass and his rendition of Maroon 5's "This Love" was marvelous!), I found myself totally focused on Alan Chang - the music director (and pianist) - the entire time.  He's brilliant - arranges a lot of what they do, cowrote "Home," directs Buble's band/orchestra, etc.  Amazing.  Probably too young for me. 

I had to rush home for a particular matter after the show...but then I got a call. It was a friend who was also at the concert who said she had someone who wanted to talk to me. It was Alan Chang!   We talked for a bit and probably would've hung out if they didn't have to head out for New Orleans last night.    Ok - I'm not a groupie  ...but there's something about his easygoing, sweet nature that makes me believe that he would have been a good hang.

Well - long story short...I'm going to Los Angeles for two weeks and Buble has a show during my time there. Although it'll probably be difficult for Alan to get me into that show at this point (and it being LA), he offered the possibility of attending their PBS taping next week. Giddy-up!    Oh - and he gave me his phone number   to give him a call about it when I get back to LA after my family trip to Vegas.    Maybe he'll want to go with me to see Yo-Yo Ma with The Silk Road Ensemble @ the Hollywood Bowl?
