Bon Jovi's #1! (and other random bits)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families, and if you were brave enough to engage in Black Friday battle, I hope you were successful. Now begins my favorite time of year! (But also the absolute busiest...sigh)

In case you hadn't heard, our boys made the #1 spot on VH1's Top 20 video countdown this week with 'We Weren't Born To Follow'!! YEAH! That just shows the incredible weight we fans have, because it wasn't a particularly creative video. ;) (Just sayin'!)

Anyhoo, I know I promised a review for The Circle this past week, and I PROMISE I'm going to have it soon...once I get two minutes to myself. I swear, being in college is quite literally the most insane thing I've ever done. I can't even remember a time in my life when I've been busier - and I know it's just going to get worse!

So as a little breather for all of us (because holiday time means I'm not the only one running around like a chicken with its head cut off!), here's one of my favorite YT vids of the guys. It's sure to bring a smile to your face:

(Oh, and if you missed my last post about Richie's Sirius Pulse DJ segment, and you want the Circle tracks with his commentary, just lemme know. ;))

The Circle: Richie Edition

For those of you (like me) who couldn't listen in to DJ Richie Sambora on Sirius satellite radio this past weekend, you're not out of luck.

You can download the ENTIRE segment (his walk-through of The Circle, plus a bonus track of his commentary between other music) from Hath's skydrive!

Hath posted on her blog that the lovely Catte Sambora spent a lot of time ripping top quality MP3s of this, so thank both of them for making this available to us!!

Oh, and let me tell you...it's FANTASTIC. I listened to the whole thing through twice last night; Richie really makes one great DJ! But then again, I could listen to that man all night...:)

Enjoy!

BJCT Blog (a la Hath & friends)

If you don't read The Goddess Hathor's blog (which you should; it's one of my favorites and most frequented), you probably don't know about this...so I'm bringing attention to it.

Hath and several other devoted fans have put together a collaborative project for The Circle tour, to help consolidate all the photos, reviews, MP3 rips, and other goodies that always fly around during tour time.

From Hath:

This is a new blogsite I'm launching with a few friends to attempt to gather all the yummy goodness of the tour in one spot.

Each post in this blog will be for a single show. In that post will be the setlist for the show, along with YouTube footage if available, a link to a SkyDrive folder with the videos, mp3 rips and full bootlegs (again, if available), a link to a PhotoBucket folder into which my friends and I will gather whatever photographs we can find -- yours for the taking of course, and a section for links to reviews, other blogs, etc., that have tour information in them for that particular show...

It goes on to explain how to submit and view content, with a special email and SkyDrives set up and everything!

I LOVE it - I know I for one am always scrambling everywhere to save pics and songs, especially from my own shows. Those of you who have known me for a few years will probably remember that I've attempted to do stuff like this for past tours; let me just say, this is way more organized than I ever was, and I'm glad it's not me doing all the work! LOL! So a HUGE thank you to these ladies for all their work - I will definitely be frequenting that blog to stay in the circle next year.

Check it out!

Richie at Woodbridge High

If you didn't know, Mr. Sambora visited his alma mater today for a variety of events - he sponsored the opening of the new weight room (named in honor of his late father, Adam Sambora), and received an honorary street sign in his name for his philanthropy. Besides visiting with the cheerleaders, basketball team, and of course, tons of fans, he also visited with Kelly Mahon (yes, the Kelly from the Care 4 Kelly/"You Can Go Home" campaign) and her family.

I have to say, I'm glad he's finally getting some attention for HIS philanthropic efforts; he deserves it!

Here are a crapload of pictures from today, thanks to Hath, Foxli, Judith, and Susan:
