Charleston!

Good Morning,

Well I just landed in Chicago and waiting for my next flight to Charleston, S.C. One of my great friends (Dave Denis) who is in the Air Force is getting married this week and I have the privilage of standing up next to him. This will be my first time to Charleston and I'm excited! I need a break! These past several weeks have been extremely busy for me.

As some of you may know, I have been working with Chris Daughtry's booking agent in Nashville to book Daughtry for a concert set for June 9 in Manitowoc. However, due to time constraints, I have decided to hold off on the idea and concentrate more on Season Two. When I return from Charleston, I will be forming a committee and our goal/mission will be to produce a new music festival in Manitowoc for 2008. With that in mind, I would appreciate your feedback on a different artists you would like to see perform. One of the bands that we will be considering is an a cappella group called BALL IN THE HOUSE. I encourage you, check out their website and listen to their sound. Let me know what you think! www.ballinthehouse.com

In other news, Jessica Plansky - Season One Winner, will be performing during the third annual SHOWTIME varitey show in Manitowoc on Saturday, August 10. More details to follow within the coming weeks. For more info on Jessica Plansky, be sure to visit Jessica's blog at planskyblog.blogspot.com.
