Thank you for sharing your pictures and stories of the night. Glad you had such a wonderful time! And glad to hear Vincent making political statements! Especially ones I agree with!

Brie, not to be alarmed at water bottles. I was sitting next to 2 ladies, who waited until Vincent , oops I mean Jeronimo made his final exit, and asked the stage hand for the bottle. I heard nothing so relax and enjoy the recall of a great evening.

Thank you Vincent, such a total treat, beyond words.
Here is another funny recall

To Magpyi's comment, here's something I forgot to mention, he had a lot of political stuff in his show on Tuesday. One topic was gay people in the military, the other about a "black man being in charge" (not negative at all, its obvi he's a democrat), and then mentioning of how awful George Bush was...So yes, it was definitely a platform. Really clever! IMO.

2009-10-29T09:25:25.536-04:00

My guess -George is a platform that vincent can use to make a cultural statement, that's the spoof. Listen to what is said on the podcast. People in power should take care of people and do right.I'm gonna feed the world muffins. I can't quote him right now, but I keep thinking about that ridiculous ron harris diatribe when vincent is so upset over politics.Maybe george is his way of

Yeah I knew it was pronounced Car -in as apposed to karen ( a new reporter pronounced it that way LOL). I love that first shot of him *sigh* that cute button nose.

2009-10-29T04:38:55.315-04:00

Actually I could have told you that name thing before...It's Dutch and it sounds pretty much like German,so it's pronounced just like you wrote it Brie!
And I am green with envy and happy for you at the same time!Wish I could have been there with you guys.It sounded like you had a lot of fun with eachother,not only with Vincent!

2009-10-29T00:05:02.337-04:00

Thanks everyone for all your wonderful reports! Sounds like Vincent knows exactly how to communicate a strong point to his fans. Yes, Vincent may not have "technically" been fired, but the alternatives presented to him were just too unreasonable for him to accept. I think the term "fired" is just a matter of semantics.

2009-10-28T22:15:36.660-04:00

I think Vincent's doing this is the coolest and it looks like everybody involved, performers & audience, had a good time.

I just keep wondering why he picked country over the blues, since I've read he likes to play the blues on the guitar. Country, especially this kind of "spoof-ish" country, is fine with me, but I do loves me some blues.

2009-10-28T18:11:53.407-04:00

By the way, Vinces's wife was standing next to me and his nephew too, and they were being introduced to a bunch of people. Her name is pronounced CA (like the sound in Kaleidescope)- Rin (like Rin Tin Tin). CA-RIN, almost like Corinne, but with an A. Just thought I'd share that since we all thought it was like the normal name Karen with a different spelling (well I did at least).

2009-10-28T17:08:38.298-04:00

bunny- you mean little piggies like the song or was George talking about drawing a bullseye on a pig, or a girl, I guess? what else did George say between songs? did anyone say if the concert was taped or would be available in the future?

thanks so much for the reports and photos!

2009-10-28T15:15:41.994-04:00

Silvermau, I didn't ask for his water bottle, but I told my husband I wanted it..did someone else take it?? Did you over-hear me ask my husband if I should take it??? So embarrassing! I was at the center table that seated 4 people, right in front. I know that message at the end was for DW...you could tell he was pissed off. I think he was trying to tell his fans the truth, without

2009-10-28T15:01:32.664-04:00

You know what is really nice about this cowboy country show? Here he is again helping out friends.This seems to be his constant motivation : most of his choices in his career seem to be about helping out friends, as he helped out Wolf to establish Goldblum in season 8.Its not about himself, its about responding to others.

2009-10-28T13:16:10.673-04:00

We were there last night also. Must have been sitting right next to Brie. Did you ask for his water bottle?
It was a wonderful, elaborate, Halloween-like bash. Friends, family, and fans were in support of Vincent's character George Jeronimo Gerkie doing his stuff. What an interesting mix of characters. I watched a great actor act again, awesome.He stayed in character until the end as

Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences, it sounds great and only being there live would've been better than your reports :-)

2009-10-28T11:38:42.486-04:00

Sounds like a great evening, and great to know Katherine Erbe was there in support,as they have been together in support of each other throughout LOCI.

Interesting that he came out of character to comment about a TV producer.He was out to make a point about a disagreement perhaps.Its ambiguous,but the person it concerns would get it.

Maybe vincent had something up his sleeve

2009-10-28T11:37:06.294-04:00

I agree that the comment was most likely directed at the current situation and not something that happened on another show some 20 years ago.

The campaign hasn't stopped. We took a little breather to let people digest all the recent news and to mourn if needed.

Goren and Eames won't be coming back.

But, we aren't letting USA Network off the hook for

2009-10-28T10:29:14.611-04:00

If Kate didn't want to leave, and they've used Vincent's departure as an excuse to clean house i.e. remove Kate and Eric, I can see Vincent being VERY upset about that, and I don't doubt for a moment he'd go to bat for her with Dick Wolf. And, since only MONEY matters in TV,I can almost hear Dick (how aptly named that man is!) telling Vincent he wears his heart on his sleeve,

2009-10-28T10:22:24.396-04:00

@ brie, Vincent was in Miami Vice and two Equalizer episodes for TV, that comment could of been directed to any number of people in television he has been involved with-thanks for sharing the pics though:)

2009-10-28T08:58:06.511-04:00

I agree with Outerbanks. Based on what was written in the basric blog, I can see that comment being given when Vincent was offered the chance to stay and they would get rid of Katie.

It's nice to see that Katie was there - that tells me that they are backing each other up (just like Bobby & Alex).

Vincent was really sweet about the marshmallow campaign, and I'll

2009-10-28T08:54:43.661-04:00

To all those people that claim they are fans and start saying he is fat-hell I would tell them to eff off, but no I think its something he said in the past to a wize guy producer, although I do believe he does wear his heart upon his sleeve he wouldn't be the actor and man we love if he wasn't just a bit emotional.

It sounds like it was a blast of an event, *sigh* I love that

2009-10-28T08:38:12.968-04:00

No, it was like a "shark skin" suit. Literally, when he spit (while singing) it landed on me..I was directly in front of him (he's one sweaty dude), I made a dinner reservation which secured us a table in the front, and the $100 beans spent on bad food was worth it...the music was actually much better than I expected. The radio performance wasn't as good as he was in person..

2009-10-28T08:34:01.773-04:00

I was there last night, and it was great. His songs were hysterical. I also noticed KE was in total support, clapping, "woo-hoo"-ing, and laughing at his antics the whole time.

He first addressed the crowd as himself. He looked adorable in his black jeans and black button down shirt (and those cute black shoes of his). Then when he came out as GG, he was in a black suit

2009-10-28T06:48:31.522-04:00

Thanks Briena! Glad you had a great time!

Vincent's comment sounds like it's addressed to those who would criticise his choice to do this venue. It's obvious that he did it from the heart - not because it was smart for his career or for his pocketbook.
