Hangin' with
Bon Jovi. Unfortunately he was fully clothed though.This week my cousin Neil called from L.A. and said he was coming to town for 2 days...last minute. He said he was producing a video for Bon Jovi, that they were filming at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn and would I like to drop by the set?
Um, yeah.
To be honest, I was just excited to see my cousin, since it's been about 5 years. Not that I have anything against Bon Jovi or anything. In fact, I did attend their Slippery When Wet tour (although sadly, I think I went to see the opening act- Skid Row. Egads.)
It was really cool though. We did see Jon & I was positive Ritchie gave me the "How you doin?" eye wink. My cousin & my mom reassured me that he was just making googly eyes at Ellie. Damn.
Much to my mother's chagrin, I didn't take any paparazzi photos. I'm pretty sure my cousin would have been pretty horrified if I would have stuck my camera in their faces. We were playing it real cool, see. Like I hang out with celebrities all the time, sure I do.
I did write it down in Ellie's baby book- "Baby's First Video Shoot". She got to sit in the director's chair and watch them filming on the monitors and everything. Pretty sweet for a 19 month old. Someone on the set did film her, & was trying to goad her into saying "Bon Jovi Rocks!" Instead she said her ABCs.

That's a fun story. You should get a copy of any footage they have of the little lady so she can know she rocked (kinda) at an early age.
Oh, that's a lot of wet body hair. Kinda groders.
That's what drives the ladies wild Michael.
Ladies or other porcupines?
That's a smart kid. If Bon Jovi (or his crew) try to hypnotize you, just go back to basics.
Still, I wouldn't wanna be the fella that has to clean the filter in that hot tub.
