I wondered who Fall Out Boy were...NOW I KNOW!

The email come down from Michael that we were gonna do emo-punk rock band Fall Out Boy and I scratched my head! Ok....call me old fashioned (hey...in my day emo- was Depeche Mode's "Someboday" and rock was Van Halen's "Jump") and out of touch (I could never wear my Converse shoes with a suit!) but I will get with the program. Went to google them....and found out they were named after some superhero from "The Simpsons" so they must be cool! The show was all the way at Singapore Expo's Max Pavillion and we had a new crew to work with. In touch of technical production was Fares (more known to me as a lighing kind of guy) and the technical crew was from the guys from Unusual Productions....Alan Meng, Valerie and their crew...but here we are! The guys on tour were really cool...totally different from the John Legend Boyz in da hood bunch. A nice young young bunch of guys with a interesting mix of serious and chill out. Working with Dan Suh, Henry Bordeaux as well as Bert from Sesame Street....and the boys in the band, Peter Wentz, Patrick Stumph, Joseph Trohman and Andrew Hurley. Well...it was another night of 3000 screaming fans (mostly girls) and a whole list of friends who were asking for various favour's for their kids to meet the boys! Adeline was at hand as part of the production team of only two (no Mel Tyler this time round!).....and things went off pretty much without a hitch! Well....we did plan for a nite on the town...but the band just wasn't the type! So much for the young kids with the rock star lifestyle....NOT!!!
