Welcome June, we have gone from Hot to Cold, Cold to Hot.

What Happens In Vegas........

....You know I will tell you! Good, The Bad, and the UGLY!



It has been a GREAT week!!! Started out in Philly to catch my flight with SPIRIT AIRLINES If you've never flown Spirit Air, it is a lot of fun, as I believe, the Staff makes $3.00 an hour and they are not afraid to show it! I got bumped to FIRST CLASS, right after I was called a DIVA. Everyone knows that is not an accurate statement! I am a DIV-O! Ok, so I land in Dallas, which is a 3 hour wait to get onto the next Minimum Wage Flight to Vegas, and while sitting in what is virtually an EMPTY Airport, two 'people' come to the row I am sitting in after looking for an outlet to plug their APPLE products in while waiting for the next flight. Unfortunately, they park themselves on the DIRTY CARPET, seeing they can't live without their APPLE babies 2 feet away from them. Judging by the pic, it looks like the guy sitting down is Harvey Fierstein, and judging from the backside of the girl, I am thinking it's Christina Aguilera.




Well, no fear, Mama bear comes over with 3 MUY GRANDE cups of HAAGEN DAAZ ice cream, and they got up quicker than Lassie hearing 'come here boy'.

Next Stop LAS VEGAS!! Arrive at the Luxor Hotel, which was absoultely VISUALLY stunning and had a SUPERIOR view of the mountains!

During my visit I got to spend quality time with Jaime and Dave and had a blast, from Dinner to the breathtaking views of Hoover Dam!! Only bad part of my trip, was saying good-bye to them


Another highlight, I performed at Meatheads on Thursday and have to tell you all, Angie Krum, the host was not only welcoming but funny! The crowd was AMAZING and I will definitely come back again to perform there. I want to thank Jaime, Stephany and Ann who live in Las Vegas for coming out to support me!


I seen two shows this trip, "DIVAS LAS VEGAS" and CRISS ANGELS "BELEIVE". While both shows were great,and different in their own way,I will say, Criss Angel blew me away, one of the best shows I attended!


And of course, Thank You Tyrone, for recording the performance and putting up with my DIV-O moments! HEARTS GALORE!!

I have a lot more to post about my show coming up September 7th 2013, a HUGE contest coming up at a NYC club the end of May, and also my A-LIST PARTY AT IKON Friday May 3rd, 2013, but I will tell you more about that later! Now I am going to head to the Pool and have a Frozen Pina Colada!

TTYL!

I DREAMED A DREAM

Happy Saturday!!

The last month, as you all know, has been insane, and through it all, I managed to book a theater and a date for my show finally!

The date is Saturday September 7th 2013, and it will be at:

The Celebration of Whimsy
21 Clinton Street
New York, NY

The show title is called "I've Slept My Way To The Top...TWICE",and it will be me. performing Standup and telling stories about my life as I remember in each decade, which as you all know my age, will only be 2 decades (SHUT UP)! Ok....4 decades, ARE YOU HAPPY?!?!

I will also have performers on stage with me (1 listed below), dressing the part of each decade before I begin my journey into each. There will be costume changes throughout, and as well, impersonations by yours truly. As I like to call it S.M.V. NO not Shakes My Vagina....Standup Meets Variety!

I will be announcing a contest, along with MIZ CRACKER, who will be 1 of the performers on stage! Lots of great info on that coming in the next month, as well as the announcement of the other performers.



As always, thank you to everyone who supports me, and I look forward to seeing you all in NYC 9/7!

XOXO

Ike
