04/06/2010 - The Great One
We have just announced that we are playing the Fillmore in Miami on the Thursday before the cruise. First of all we haven't played Miami in a long long time- yes the Miami area-ish, but not Miami. So that isspecial. Second, The Fillmore is in South Beach... ah, my youth on South
Beach- good times...nice to relive it in a safe way :) Third, The
Fillmore is a very cool brand (as they say in the industry) so you know
the vibe is gonna be right. Fourth, the Fillmore used to be called the
Jackie Gleason Theatre. You know what they used to call him? "The Great
One". I spent a lot of time in Miami when I would go down with my dad to
business conventions and then it was the natch spot to get away from
the Boston winters. As a young man, I pulled a few "almost" all-nighters
down there. And during the day, I would often pass the Jackie Gleason
Theatre and think, "Some day." I mean he was/is the Great One and I just
always loved the locale of that theatre, so once again the New Kids
check another one off the list of Joey McIntyre's Show Biz Wish List.
Thanks, guys... 5 brothers and a million sisters- it gets you in.
