Holiday Plans?

According to some articles and some "general Jovi knowledge" (lol) there are plans for Mr. Jon for the upcoming holidays.

Memorial Day:

Southside Johnny is playing Stephen's Talkhouse in Amagansett (out on Lawn Guyland) on Friday.  JBJ and Dorothea usually in attendance when Southside's in the Hamptons for Memorial Day Weekend.  He's said in the past that he typically spends the weekend out at the manse when Southside's playing.

Catte, you asked if I was going to be in the area -- we non-rich folk steer clear of the Hamptons on the major holiday weekends -- especially Memorial Day.  That's the weekend when most of the city folk go and open their summer places.  People all over the damned place -- you can't get anywhere without bumping elbows with a zillion people.  Besides, it's my baby bro's birthday bash this weekend.  *sigh*   I'll put my MIL on the case though :)  She knows practically everyone out there in Amagansett :)

Fourth of July

The Family Vacation Critic blog is reporting that JonBon is scheduled to play at Macy's 35th annual fireworks show in NYC.

No one does big like New York City, and this year will be the 35th year of Macy’s world-famous fireworks show. The show will begin with a number of famous performers, including Beyoncé, Jon Bon Jovi and Mariah Carey before the six barges around Manhattan loaded with fireworks detonate the country’s largest fireworks display. While the concerts will take place near Macy’s 5th Avenue, the best views of the fireworks are from the river. If you can’t make it to the Big Apple, NBC airs the show for a taste of what your family is missing.

That's a mighty busy travel week, there, Jonny-boy.  Dublin to NYC to Istanbul --  OH MY!

And if he's going to be in NYC for the fourth, why spend part of the week at the AT&T National Golf Tournament in Philly (Aronimink)?  The Soul Foundation will again be one of the beneficiaries of the golf event -- suppose Jon would put in a photo op appearance?  I mean there is a WHOLE week between Dublin and Istanbul -- plenty of time...

Busy, busy, busy...
