ST.LOUIS:
My hometown. Arrived very early in the morning. Thank GOD the Renaissance Grand allowed us to have an early check in. And the hotel was just what the doctor ordered. Not to mention, a great concierge. Wow! This woman named Ruth, gave some us some good old-fashioned hospitality. There is nothing like walking into a welcoming hotel, looking at the friendly face (of a woman) when you’ve been on a long a** road trip with a bunch of damn men for hours and hours.
Every Renaissance that I’ve had the pleasure of staying in welcomes you with a lobby that’s sexy, warm and cleaner than women in their hats at the Kentucky Derby. And I need that – to get my mind right because when perform in your hometown, the guest list starts to look like Santa’s gift list. Everyone has crab hands, clawing for tickets.
After getting settled and diving into an never disappointing menu @ any Renaissance, but The Grand was off the hook!! I couldn’t decide what to delight my palate with so I had an array of too much.

Now, I’m off to go do some press. I visited my old radio station where I did mornings (on-air jock) several years ago. Thanks to Majic 104 , Tony Scott and Tammie Holland my old co-hosts, for letting me sit in with them. It was like old times. Me cracking on Tammie and Tony being the perfect set up man. Tammie (always the blond) is a great talent and is a big compliment to the show.
Of course my next stop was J Arthur’s in South St. Louis to pamper myself – you know; hair cut, manicure, (no polish, no buff), pedicure, (no polish, no buff) so I can look right for the show. Had to get some Ghetto Fired Rice, St. Louis’ own Chinese Rice), Imo’s Pizza slice, and of course some White Castles. A trip home wouldn’t be complete without those indulgences. Then dinner with dad. With moms out of town and dad home alone, we had some father/son time eating and watching the NBA play-off game. Man, I love my pops!
Arrived back to the Renaissance later, to enjoy the high energy of the hotel lobby bar – HOT! Grabbed a drink, sat back and did some people watching for new material since I’m recently divorced. After a few hours of that off to my room where I dove into THE BEST BED in the WORLD and let it sucked my body in like it was tailor made for me. Rest the night before a show is important and I can stay in this bed all day and night. Woke up the next morning well rested and was ready for show time. The show was great and I was pretty happy with y set. Yes, of course I had to talk about my Rams who stink right now and give the fella’s another lesson on underwear etiquette. Guys is it really that hard? Geez!
People really under estimated Jill and she quickly reminded them of why she is simply the bomb! The ladies about lost their lungs screaming for Maxwell. I saw one lady crying. She looked like Fantasia at a spelling bee. My hometown represented and my dad loved the show.
It’s now 1:45 in the morning and back on the bus we go. Our bus is following Max’s to Kansas City — I wonder what he’s thinking right now….probably about Imo’s pizza!!

Ghetto fried rice sounds BOMB! I can only imagine! I loved the Seattle show Guy! I live in Portland, Oregon and am hands down the undisputed- BIGGEST Maxwell fan in Oregon! I went to hang out at the backstage gate after the concert in hopes of meeting him and had to watch him ride right past us. The other 4 people there were Seattleites and they said he was at the Westin. I said yeah right! Renaissance hotels are sponsoring the tour (Only a true Max head would know that) so why wouldn’t he be staying there???? If I wouldda known my way around Seattle I wouldda went myself.
Fantasia at a spelling bee huh? Guy you’re too funny!
Life without laughter would be a mess!

You were HILARIOUS last night! The jokes about the gay men here had me hollerin’-have you considered Atlanta? We need more straight men here. LOL! You should do some jokes about women throwing the BIG DRAWS at Maxwell. That would be funny too. It was funny to watch-I mean what is he supposed to do with them?
,;` I am really thankful to this topic because it really gives useful information “-.
This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
