AND THE AWARD GOES TO ......

Last night's Hollywood Life Breakthrough Awards was a really fun night. It took place at the Henry Fonda Music Box over on Hollywood Blvd, and Donovan and I were asked to present Sam Riley (who played Ian Curtis in the Joy Division movie, Control) with his award. The evening was a blast, with a ton of faces showing up to honor these actors who have really delivered in 2007. I have to say that I was humbled to be asked to do this - the movie Control is one of those rare music films that actually works! It has been made with such love and authenticity for the period, with so many incredible performances (including Sam's eerily accurate portrayal of Ian) that to be asked to participate in last nights Award event was fantastic. Everyone had a good time (thanks to Hollywood Life and all the sponsors for putting on a great night) and congrats to all the Award winners. I am now moving straight into Circus Diablo mode with a couple of days rehearsal before our shows this week. It's gonna be a good way to finish up the year. Get over to The Viper Room on Thursday and come party with us. Use our special password and get in for the discounted price of $10. Just say "GIBSON" when you get to the door and save money on us!!

Peace

Billy

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.

You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair... People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.

Glad you had fun last night. CFR was great. My first full live listening experience. I agree w/Carly, to see CD & VR together, would be an incredible expierence. It would have been a worldwind trip from KC but, I thought about it. Just couldnt pull it through. Take care & enjoy the next few days!!! Niki

What is you take on the Hills? Do you ever run into each other on the circuit? I think these girls work very hard for what they do & it is obvious that it is edited the way the show wasnts it to be percieved (hence the drama). Just wondering your thoughts, since this is in you back yard. I think you will agree. The less intenitonal drama in a relationship, the better. What drama does appear you head in on as a couple, not seperately. IMO only. Take care-NIKI

There once was a guy named Billy

He formed Circus Diablo
Just look at that boy go!
He's the shit in Piccadilly!
