ice ice baby

last night was one of the strangest/coolest nights of my life. we played at the fillmore at irving plaza with vanilla ice, and it was pretty out there. first we got there, and a camera crew was filming everything...us loading in, us just standing around talking....kind of odd. then we waited around for a while and saw vanilla ice soundcheck. this guy is serious, he knows exactly what he wants, and he even was running sound for a while. i was pretty impressed. then we loaded onstage to soundcheck. after that, we were told to go outside, whereupon we were put inside a limo and driven around the block to make an appearance on the red carpet.....very strange, but very cool. so we played and it was strange but fun, and then waited and waited for v-ice to play. when he finally did, it was so worth it, he but on a hell of a show. he wasn't ashamed to play the old classics like ice ice baby and ninja rap, either. it's cool how he accpets that's a part of his past and embraces it and makes it part of his present. i'll say it again, one of the coolest yet strangest nights of my life without a doubt. ice ice baby.
