& Roll photos at his bar "Manatoba's on Ave B between

August 9th - Ace
Frehley played a rare solo show at Don Hill's Club. The place
was packed and Ace did not let his fans down. He had the biggest
sound system I've seen in Don's place and he played a long
set of favorites. We stayed up late and had a great time.

Aug 13 - Oasis played a great
show at the Beacon Theater and after the show we ended up
having drinks with the band in the Irish Pub on 7th Ave.
Someone saw Tom Jones walking by and invited him in to say
hello. He was happy to meet the Oasis guys and posed for
the shot above with Andy Bell, Phil Smith, and Noel Gallagher
|
I went to the Oasis show with
Ryan Adams, who, besides being a fan (he covered one of
their songs),,wanted to check out the Beacon Theater because
he's scheduled to perform a solo acoustic show there on
October 10th. As we left the bar after hanging out with
Oasis, Ryan poseed for a picture in Times Square.
|
Aug 25 - Supermodel, SuperRocker,
Supermom Bebe Buell married musician Jim Wallenstein (of
Vacationland) in Maine. It was a postcard perfect
day as Bebe's daughter Liv Tyler posed with Jim and Bebe
and Bebe's mom Dorothea Johnson.
|
Sept.9 - The fantasticly exciting
Toilet Boys opened for Nina Hagan at Webster Hall in New
York. Debbie Harry came to see them and posed for this backstage
photo with them.
|
Sept 17 - I was in Paris and
got to see Oasis at the Zenith theater. All of their Paris
shows in the last few years had been cancelled for one reason
or another and the crowd was cheering from the start of
the show because they were so happy to finally get to see
the band. Oasis didn't disapoint them and played a really
rockin' set.
|
After the Oasis show in Paris,
Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer share a drink and wish all
their fans "Cheers and bon soir!"
|
This summer my son Kris Gruen
recorded a CD of songs he's written. Called "Leaving
Light" it was produced by his friend Brett Jazzy in
New York. Kris is currently performing in Vermont where
he lives and is looking for a distribution deal.
|
These two, Bill Wetzel and Liz
Barry, have been seen sitting by the sidewalks around New
York City with this sign. It is their art to try to help
people communicate with each other. If you see them, talk
to them, and maybe you'll be inspired to talk to other people
as well.
