Paulina Tour Updates (2005)

April 29 - (Dallas, Texas) Our first show went Great! Dallas was awesome...got to hang with my cousin Hector and that was great too. I got to see Texas Stadium - Home of the Dallas Cowboys and the "Big Tuna." How cool is that ? :-)

April 30 - (Houston, Texas) This show was a special one for me, 'cause I got to see two ex-students of mine (Pat Carey & Christie Schiller) as well as Beth Carey and Brian Carey, who were like second parents to me when I lived in Houston and taught at Deer Park H.S.

May 1 - (San Antonio, Texas) Two shows in a row that I get to see friends that are like family to me. Today I was able to invite the Cuevas Family to the show...originally from Brownsville Texas I might add...It was so great to see them! Thank you so much for coming to the show and for the baby gift for Julian :-)

May 3 - (Corpus Christi, Texas) Finaly had a day off yesterday...that was good...much needed rest. Todays show was great. I want to thank Steve and Terry at LP for sending me that Cajon...I was able to incorporate it in the show today :-)

May 4 - (McAllen, Texas) This show reminded me of the best things in life...like family. I think I had more fun than them at the show. I gave them a "behind the scenes" tour and the highlight of the night for me was seeing them meet with Paulina...oh, and ofcourse seeing the "We love Uncle Paul" sign that my nephews Cristian and Daniel made for me...I love you guys too!

May 5 - (Laredo, Texas) This was another great show. The hospitality in Laredo was top notch. Cudos to the catering crew...the best food we have had by far.

May 10 - (Palm Desert, CA) Finally have internet again...let's see...events that have happened up until today: 3 Plane rides, two hotel rooms, 1big shopping spree, a laundry run, 3 venues (San Diego, Reno, and San Jose) and about 10 hours of sleep! Glorious, egh? I got to see my cousin Carmen Lerma and some of her friends in San Jose...that was great! I hadn't seen her for about 30 years or so. We will be in LA (Home) tomorrow for a much needed day off...I'm stoked about that :-)

May 11 - (Los Angeles, CA) We rolled in at 3:00am today...woke up at 9:00am to go to a session that lasted 'til 5:00pm...then went with my wife to meet with our future pediatrician (whom wouldn't stop talking for what seemed like 10 hours!) Extremely tired must get sleep now ...I am so excited though, 'cause I can see Julian kicking now :-) It's good to be home, even if it's just for two days.

May 12 - (Los Angeles, CA) Our "home show" was great. I was so happy that the whole gang from DCC came to see the show - Julie, Erika, Dave, Eric, "Sunshine," Colleen, and Dennis - luv you guys :-) Chris Brady from Aquarian Drumheads was able to make it to the show as well, eventhought he was a little bit under the weather...Thanx for being a trooper Chris!

May 13 - (Las Vegas, Nevada) Played at the House of Blues...amazingly enough, they were still able to set up the drum riser...needless to say, I got a nice tan from the stage lights :-) jk

May 14 - (Phoenix, Arizona) Great Venue...We had a very fun show today. We had two birthdays among the group/crew and our last song ended with a "Birthday Cake fight." The audience loved it.

May 15 - (Tuscon, Arizona) The show was hot...so was the temperature out in the desert :-0

May 16 - (El Paso, Texas) Day off. Bought some awesome sports jerseys for Julian...got him Cowboys, Rockets, and Longhorns "get ups." Not much to do here, so we actually went bowling - "What!" - and get this, yours truly actually manged to win both games with "whopping" scores of 128 and 147...How bad are we?! :-) We ended the night with what else, but a Whataburger feast.

May 17 - (El Paso, Texas) Show was cool...audience was great, eventhough the show started more than an hour late...out of our control.

May 18 - (Houston, Texas) Day off. We stayed at the "Derrick" in Houston - only the fanciest hotel ever! ...Very nice :-) Most of us hung out at the "Galleria" ...I saw and said "hi" to Cuttino Mobley there (Ex-Rocket Basket ball player, now with the Sacremento Kings)...and by the end of the night, I actually ended up with a free ticket to the midnight showing of the new Star Wars flick...had to give it away though...we bailed Houston at 2:00am.

May 19 - (Pensicola, Florida) Day Off. Stayed at the Holiday Inn...pretty ghetto compared to the "Derrick." Finally checked out the new Star Wars flick...(It was OK. a bit slow, but the ending was pretty cool). Ended up at the go kart speedway with our video guy David...we had a blast!

May 20 - (Orlando, Florida) Another Great show! It was pretty weird waking up in the middle of a huge theme park...

May 21 - (Tampa, Florida) What better way to arrive in Tampa, than by watching the tour favorite "Gold Member." :-) "How about a Schmoke and a Pancake?!" ...that's kinda like the catering we had :-) "Ouch baby, very ouch!" :-)

May 22 - (Atlanta, Georgia) Crazy Wicked Madness! I can't believe how long the lines were of people still trying to get in to the show...and I thought the line on opening night of the new Star Wars flick was long :-) I can't believe how many people they "crammed" into the venue...I was actually very worried about security and about the safety of the audience! The place was so loud and rocking...I am so glad the show went well and that there were no injuries...trust me, after the audience broke through the first set of barricades, I thought something bad might happen...luckily, all went well.

May 23 - (Detroit, Michigan) Day Off...lots of rain...ate some Thai Food - "Kick BoxingChicken" - quite good actually...ate some incredible gelato Italian-style ice cream, and did some laundry - "Boring!" :-)

May 24 - (Detroit, Michigan) Great Show!...quite a bit chilly though..."What's up with that?!"...missing that SoCal weather.

May 25 - (Chicago, Illinois) We played the Aragon tonight...very cool...built in 1926. Show went great. We now head off to Atlantic City.

May 27 - (Atlantic, City) We had a day off yesterday...Last night Paulina treated us all to drinks at the bar, then we all went to a local club to hang for a bit. We had a blast. Show today was cool...smaller stage than we are used to, but we dealt.

May 28 - (Elizabeth, NJ) I got a chance to invite Jim Feck from Drum Art and his wife Melissa to the show. Thank you guys for coming to the show. I had a blast hanging with you guys after the show.

May 29 - (Alexandria, Virginia) All I have to say is...you know how when you see a little baby trying to fit a square peg into a round hole?...yeah, that's kinda how it felt when I saw the crew trying to set up our massive set on a small stage about the size of my living room..."It was all 6's and 7's baby!" :-) Austin Powers.

June 3 - (Miami, Florida) Today we arrived in Miami. Won't stop raining...I am trying to get tickets to the Heat - Pistons game..no luck yet.

June 4 - (Miami, Florida) Never got tickets to the Heats - Pistons game...#@$! Show went great today...one show to go...how time flies.

June 5 - (Santo Domingo, Domincan Republic) Wow! I can't even begin to describe the amount of people that were at the show...the venue was over-packed, there were hundreds of people on roof tops, hundreds of people gathered in the streets...If I didn't know any better, I would say all of the DR was there! What a great crowd to play to for our last show of this tour. Well...something tells me we are coming back here soon...To be continued! :-)

Thanx to everone who made it out to see the show! I had a blast seeing you all...take care, and I will see you on the next one...Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease :-)

(July 7, 2004) We have arrived in Grand Forks, ND. I have met our tour bus "Mojo 2," and I must say - "Yeah baby, Yeah!" Quite impressive...All the troops are ready to get started! Our bus driver's name is Larry, and I swear that he knows where every Wal-Mart is in the country! We will be frequenting "Waly World" quite often I imagine.

(July 12, 2004) We have played three shows to three great audiences in ND,SD, and WI.  I will never forget the two young ladies in Appleton,WI who changed their "We love Clay" sign to "We love Cherie's Drummer" ...very flattering - thank you, and I am sure Clay won't mind sharing two of his billions of fans. Today we are in Lexington,KY home of the "Wild Cats."  I can definitely feel the "College Basketball Town" Vibe. Looking forward to the show!

(July 13, 2004) The show was great last night..."thank yous" to the stage left upper deck fans who showed "much love"...I love you too  :-)   I especially want to wish a speedy recovery to 10 year old fan "Ariel" ...Everything will be alright!

(July 14, 2004)  Last night "Mojo 2" lost his mojo...We had to switch buses...we will be reunited with "Mojo 2" as soon as he is fixed.

(July 15, 2004) Nashville show was good last night...I got to see and hang out with my great friend Drummer/Percussionist Garrett Buell, whom I hadn't seen in about 9 years .  It was a great reunion...He gave me the great news that he is engaged to be married soon...I am very happy for him.

(July 17, 2004)  Doing a show after a day off is the best! ...even better after eating two "Chic-fil-a" sandwiches...don't really have those in LA. Anywaysss, I had a blast hanging out with the "Cherie contest winners" that flew out all the way from Austin, TX..."Hook-em Horns!." I wish little Andy the best in his percussion studies! Keep in touch. Our bus "Mojo 2" is back and "fully recovered"  :-)

(July 19, 2004)  Aah...a day off! We are in beautiful Portsmouth, VA.  Today I will definately get out and enjoy the sites. As for yesterday in Charleston, SC...We had one of our best shows so far...not to mention a killer "three on three" game of hoops, which I am glad to say we kicked A$$ in!

(July 22,2004) We are in Baltimore, Maryland enjoying two days off. I want to thank Drew (whom I met last night) for his "hospitality" and congratulate him on his job promotion and recent marriage. Today we get to go to a BBQ Party that Charity's (our tour manager) family is throwing for us...yummy! Can't wait for them ribs!

(July 24, 2004) We have arrived in Syracuse, NY...Nice campus, but the dressing rooms at the Oncenter are quite scary...not good when I'm still feeling the after effects of them Ribs and "wicked punch!" Last night s show in Baltimore went well. It  was so much fun hanging out with Charity's family at the show...they are great!

(July 30, 2004) Last night at Foxwoods went great! This was the one show where Cherie and Clay Aiken sang a duet together ("Fool" from Cherie's soon to be released album). Went over great. Today we arrived in Portland, ME ...we have 3 days off - "Woo Hoo!" ...needless to say, you won't hear from me in a while :-)

(Aug. 3, 2004) I'm Back...the three days off did me good. My wife flew in to Portland, ME and we checked out all the sights there...drove into Boston and visited the "old stomping grounds" and then drove into Norwood, MA to visit with my great friends Carl, Declan, Rob (AKA East Coast Goat)...got to meet Carl's girlfriend Faith and ate dinner at the Renda's.     Now it's back to work...we are in Kingston, RI...sold out! Looking forward to the show.

(Aug. 8, 2004) It's been great being on the upper East Coast these past days.  Rob (East Coast Goat) and another friend/ex-student of mine Joe, came down to the Gilford, NH show...I got to see a bunch of cows, pigs, and horses in PA ("Yee-haw")...and today we are in Albany, NY. 

(Aug. 14, 2004) Sorry for falling behind in my updates, but we have been playing a bunch of State Fairs lately....and well, one can't really connect to the internet via a pig pen if you know what I mean  :-)  I'll make up for it now.
    Yesterday we played in Springfield, IL. It was the most memorable show yet! Where do I begin...Biggest surprise of the day was running into the same two fans from the Appleton, WI show - you know, the ones who changed their "We love Clay" sign to "We love Cherie's Drummer"...Well, I got to meet them (Stephaniee Hartman & Nikki Owens) and members of their family...the nicest people one could meet. I had a blast hanging out with them! You are the best!
    The Other surprise of the day was winning a whopping $8.50 on "Sherrie's Delight" at the Horse track..."Woo Hoo!"

(Aug. 15, 2004) 2nd day off in Indianapolis...I have done way too much shopping! Finaly got a new Apple Lap Top...got tired of the old PC. Oh!...and I forgot to mention that had some Chic-fil-a yesterday...It's been a good 2 days off.

(Aug. 17, 2004) Aah...we are back in an arena! Good ol' Knoxville, TN home of the Fighting Volunteers...It's cool to be in there locker rooms and be amongst their rich Basketball tradition...those Lady Vol's kick Serious Butt! Oh...the show was awesome, by the way :-)

(Aug. 20, 2004) Last night we played our last fair...can you say "Yee Haw!?" We are now in Clio, MI and we will play 2 shows in 2 consecutive days. Yesterday Cherie bought Austin Powers 1 & 2, so now we are fully stocked with all 3 Austin Powers Movies! "How about a Shmoke and a Pancake?!"

(Aug. 22, 2004) We have a day off in Rockford, IL. The Clio concerts were great...I want to give a "shout out" to Rachel our Monitor Engineer  whom had to  leave the tour yesterday to get her Appendix issue all fixed up. I hope you feel better soon!

(Aug. 25, 2004) Today we had a day off here in Cleveland. We hung out all day at Cedar Amusement Park and had a blast. Home boy stayed off of the "Dragster," which...by the way, only goes 120mph in less than 4 seconds...no thank you :-)

(Aug. 28, 2004) What a great day! Today we played at the US Open (will be televised tomorrow on CBS at 10:00 AM PT)...then we took a private jet from NY to Dayton, OH and played a show there to a great crowd! Tomorrow will be our last show with Clay...We will miss everybody lots on the tour, and we wish them continued success on their final 3 weeks.

(Aug. 30, 2004) Last night was something else! For our last night of the tour, the crew decided to participate in our show...Our concert was more like an obstacle course than anything musical...to our credit, We were able to deliver a great show and still have fun. We had a blast on this tour and we thank everybody involved for making it a success. Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease!
