Melinda's Update (8/9/01)

08/09/2001

Hello everyone!!! Oh my where do I start? First, sorry for the delay but I had a few computer problems, enough said. OH BEFORE I FORGET...THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN THE THANK YOU'S FOR THE CFTC PROGRAM... SOMEONE VERY IMPORTANT WAS LEFT OFF. SO I TAKE THIS MOMENT TO THANK LONNIE FOR WORKING ON CHALLENGE WITH US...THANKS LONNIE!!!

Wow, what an exciting and strange last few weeks. Mother nature has definitely not been on our side. Let's rewind...

Los Angeles, awesome record release party followed by the Rosebowl show. Then it was off to Vegas for Challenge For The Children. It was off the hook! Everyone flew in Friday and the festivities began. Look for a wrap around to be posted in the CFTC section very soon. It will give you all the details of the weekend. So now we can catch ourselves up to the present. What I will say is thank you to everyone who came out to support such a good cause. We will be selling the remaining merchandise through our fan club so keep you eyes out for that. There are some really cute things this year. Also I will be posting a lot of great pictures as soon as they come in from the photographer. Legends & Heros..you all rock as title sponsors! Jim Jacobs and NetJets & GM Chevy- keep getting us there, Nabisco, Rockawear, Levis, and all our other sponsors we couldn't have done it without you too! OK so Challenge turns Platinium this year and we head to Tampa for a show...this is where mother nature kicks in...

The guys did a show in the rain yes it rained the whole show. then we head to Miami and there is a tropical storm that is tearing up our load-in crew. The storm was building and scheduled to hit land and made it unsafe for not only our fans but the crew and our 5 guys to do the show. So we had to cancel. Well now Joey is not feeling well. He didn't feel well in Tampa but did the show anyway...what a trooper. So we head to San Antonio, but Joey stays back because he isn't feeling better. You know the rest of the story by now but I will tell it one more time...Joey had to go to the hospital to help him feel better. So the four guys do the show in San Antonio, and before the show starts we get a call from the steel crew/site coordinator that the weather is terrible and guess what...that same tropical storm we left in Miami is heading right for BIRMINGHAM!!!

So we fly home and wait...well again the news is not good and we are forced to cancel another show because of the wrath of Barry! But the good news is Joey got out of the hospital the day after the San Antonio Show, so he is all better and back with us. Whew, are you staying with me...now we are at the present...and yes we are planning to head to Louisville tomorrow to do our show, then it is on to one of my favorite cities, Atlanta...oh yeah I know the Dirty Bird lives there.

Hopefully Barry's rain will not keep following us. OH MY GOSH...HOW could I ramble on this long without saying...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JC! I am sure he had a great birthday! We threw him a party at a movie theater and they saw Rush Hour 2. After Atlanta the guys are flying cross country to attend the TEEN Choice Awards and then back to the East Coast for the Washington, DC show. Whew, I am tired already. Ok everyone that was the past, present and the future in a nut shell. Don't forget to look for that CFTC merchandise for sale, support a great cause. Oh and one more exciting thing...the website is about to take on a whole new look with a bunch of new things and we may even have a message board! Be sure to check it out. I think we are going to launch it early next week. Now go enjoy your day and do something nice for someone. Oh and of course Stay *NSYNC!
