New Years Eve/Satin Love and Being in "Peril"

New Years Eve 2006

New Years Eve was probably one of the most entertaining evenings I have had. The day began early, after arriving in Eugene from Philly at around 5am. I was up at 9:30am to begin the day. I had a few errands to take care of and it was 4 so I headed to the Hilton. It was me and four females getting ready for the New Year. I was ready in about 10 minutes and with all the hair it took them a little over an hour.

The evening emceeing for Satin Love went great, complete with a Countdown to midnight about 90 seconds out, and I even managed to hit the dancefloor a bit.

However, the real fun was after the show. At around 1:30 am a group of us were chillin’ in our room and we heard “noises” from the room next door. These “noises” were of a tree tapping on a window on a windy night type of nature, so we decided to “bang” back.

What happened next was great. There was a knock on the door about thirty seconds later. Danny was relegated to answer the door, or at least check out the muscleman knocking on it—but this muscleman was not a man at all, but a woman, buck naked, knocking on our door. Needless to say we did not answer the door. It was the night of vintage pajamas for the ladies. Nikki was wearing “Barbie” and Emily was wearing “Wonder Woman”, complete with the “W” on the top. She exclaimed without missing a beat, “Maybe she is in peril.” We then had thoughts of the “Invisible Jet” outside the woman’s window and trying to explain this to the cops.

Food was an option around 3am, so some headed off to IHOP…to which Nikki requested “French Toast”, she received “Pancakes” and was not to happy about that. The genius Danny got the two confused. Nikki was meticulous in what we would need that night. She brought her microwave, enough coffee, snacks – the rest of us covered the alcohol. No one got too blitzed and a good time was had by all…Thanks again for getting the room Nik!

Things I learned New Years Eve:

1. It is cool, it may be the new thing actually, to be in “Peril”

2. Vintage PJ’s are always cool to wear.

3. (Something you guys may never see, that I can actually vouch for) – four women in
the bathroom at the SAME TIME. It can be done!!

4. Satin Love closes every performance with “We Are Family”. It is ironic for me
because outside the band, it’s the same people I get to work with everytime.
Security, Sound, and Lights. It’s nice to have this group together the few times a
year we get to work together. I appreciate all of you and the work you do
including the band.

P.S. -- Don't make Valentines Day plans just yet....Keep listening to STAR for more details soon....:)
