Hi. I'm sorry it's been a little while since I last posted but these are busy times.
I'll pick up from where I left off. So as you can see, I made it through Lollapalooza....just about! It was a truly amazing array of musical talent — special mentions go out to Pearl Jam, Lupe Fiasco, Amy Winehouse, MIA, Stephen Marley, Juliette and the Licks, Daft Punk, Paolo Nutini, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kings of Leon and of course, the man Perry Farrell for his gracious hospitality and for putting on one hell of a show. But what made Lollapalooza even better was its host city. It was my first time to Chicago and it was pretty much love at first sight. A smaller, calmer, quieter, prettier, cleaner, more laid back version of NY — Chi-town is a truly stunning city (in more ways than one). Along with almost every artist and band on the Lollapalooza line-up, we were all staying at the Hard Rock Hotel — so as word spread through the city the Hard Rock became the magnet for all those looking for a good time. Needless to say, there was rarely a dull moment.

So after a few great days and nights in Chicago, I found myself on my way to Chicago O'Hare airport settling into the idea of flying back to NY and all the good things that come with it...I get a phone call. A good phone call.
The kind of call that uses the words "Las Vegas" and "would you like to go?"
As easy as it was to say "yes" the flights were changed and 6 hours later, I was landing in Vegas to co-host "TRL" live from the Palms Casino Resort the next day. As I'm sure you know by now, this years MTV Video Music Awards are taking place in Las Vegas — for the first time!
