  I'm startled to be alive quite frankly! The week that was, was huge. ACtually. Ginormous would be a better description.
  
  Thursday night our band Uranus opened the entertainment at the Fight Night charity event to raise money for Operation Smile. This is a black tie dinner affair where white collar workers who have been training for six months entertain the crowd by boxing in a proper boxing ring in the middle of a large marquee. Myself and the bass player were in the ring, the drummer was at one end of the marquee and lead singer William Pfeiffer started on a podium but ended up in the ring bouncing off the ropes as he sang. We perfromed Queen's "We Will Rock You" to get the show on the road. A large night ensued.
  
  The next night, Friday, was the Afterglow show. A fabulous night's entertainment, once again to raise money for Operation Smile's China Mission. The event was put together by Mandy d'Abo and I was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. The show consisted of rapper Detroit Diamond, from Chicago, exotic art performer Meow Meow, Melbourne band Funky Film Express and to top it all off, the former member of the Pussy Cat Dolls, Carmit Bashar. The party rocked all night with gorgeous podium dancers, hostesses, a live auction which included a guitar signed by every member of the Rolling Stones during their Shine A Light Tour, a silent auction including a helmet signed by Lewis Hamilton and a gold album signed by Michael Jackson. We RAISED OVER ONE MILLION U.S. DOLLARS for charity. Awesome! The afterparty at Adrenalin went until 5 a.m. and there were a few after after parties that went longer than that! Very rock star.
  
  Exhausted as I was, the fabulously creative Pirate Doris painted, dressed and dragged me along to the Alive Not Dead Halloween party, feeling truly like the Lord of The Undead, I descended into Zuma's well turned out restaurant into a pit of gouls and gals. A few vodka shots later and I was back in the picture and being completely entertained by the fabulous costumes being paraded around me. It was good to catch up with friends and rock the night out. William Pfeiffer, Cara G, Jasper, Liza, Rosemary, Pirate, Paul, Joyce, Andrew, Kate, and Roland all looked smoking hot and fabulous in their creative costumes and I think I actually dislocated a rib I was laughing so hard.
  
  Next up for me, a week of post production to finish off a documentary special, a gig at the CASBAA ball for Uranus on Friday, and then the I Shot Hong Kong Film Tent at Clockenflap.
  
  Peace.
