Boutie's "Not So" Back in tha Days

Boutie meets Diana Krall and her VERY famous friends.

It was Saturday, early afternoon. I had just finished having a
greasy "Bon's" breakfast with a friend of mine. We were on the
Skytrian, heading downtown and I got a call from my sister.

Sis: "Are you busy tomorrow night?"A TheMusicalRevolution.Com Back in tha Day Tale

Me: "Nothing I can't get out of. What's up?"

Sis: "Do you want to volunteer to help out with a VIP Photo Shoot for Diana Krall?"

Me: "Ah YEAH I do!"

Due to a dying phone, I agreed to volunteer for this event, knowing very little about what I was agreeing to. All I knew was that it was for Diana Krall and a photo shoot.

Once I was home and able to speak to my sister, I found out that this wasn't just a VIP photo shoot with Diana Krall. This was an exclusive Black-Tie Charity event for Vancouver General Hospital & UBC Hospital - to help raise money for the 'made-in-BC cures' for blood related cancers.

I was the liason for the VIP's who were getting their photo taken with Diana Krall and her friends. The lucky VIPs (that spent a lot of money to be a part of this event) were offered a photo opportunity with a group of 10.

Now, you may be asking yourself, who are Diana's friends? Well, let me tell you. Her cool cat husband - Elvis Costello, the very beautiful Sarah McLachlan, the crooner Tony Bennett, and the fabulous Elton 'fuckin' John!

Truth be told I'm not a super fan of these artists, but respect their talent and enjoy their music. And, I have to admit, when I was in the room for the photo shoot, with my VIP group, it all felt very surreal. I really did feel like I was watching a movie or something. And Elton 'fuckin' John, how fucking crazy is that.

Former President, Bill Clinton was also at this event. Unfortunatly, he did not attend the VIP photo shoot. So, I didn't get to see big Willy, and I wore my blue dress and everything! ;)

After 4 hours in heel, standing, smiling and looking pretty...I took advantage of the free meal available for all the volunteers. Then decided that my feet hurt way to much to stay in heels any longer. So, it was off to my usual Sunday night poker game. Which I won, by the way. So really, it was just you're average Sunday night.
