Nice! I couldn't go to the last one, but will definitely be there this time Seems like the last thing I saw you in was Warrior. You are fantastic.
aww, shucks :)
thank you!
Last time was a LOT of fun - the audience seemed really energized and into what we were doing - which was such a gift. I worked hard and so did the band, but we didn't expect such a great reaction. I loved that people had such a good time. SO, I will be eager to provide the fun again!!

Got my ticket yesterday. My friend is picking hers up today, we're very excited.
Anybody else planning on going?
aw shucks. looks like loads of fun...
it was a great nite. incredible music and that voice!
for those of you interested in coming, and trust me and the others who've posted - you WILL have fun, I have a discount code for you :)
email: briancharlesrooney@yahoo.com and you may have it!
Sweet! I think I'll be able to make it this time. Quick question, though: I will kind of be inbetween schools at that point (just graduated). Would it still be okay for me to use my high school ID, even though I'm TECHNICALLY not a high school student?
EDIT: Did that make any sense?
Definitely coming... and bumping this back up :)
cool!!
and thanks for the bump :)
also, 'dancing...' - use the code online - and you will have no problems... Your ID will be fine... the whole point of the discount is to target people in NYC who want to come who probably could benefit from the $5 discount... normally I would include seniors, but in NYC, seniors often-times have more money than most LOL - a phenomenon unique to this city's strange economy
bumping yet again....
1 week and 2 days....
are you excited yet??

The concert was a blast! He just explodes with energy on stage when he sings.
Amazing!! I still can't get over his voice!!
Everything was priceless and phenomenal... not to mention his dance moves were kick*ss!

Thanks for an awesome night, Brian!

So fortunate to have gone and witnessed such a unique wonder. His attire was out of this world and I've never heard a man with as impressive a voice as his. He should really make a dance mix or something to play in clubs, I hate dancing and nightlife stuff, but I really could have gotten down to that! The band was talented and the original music was incredible, plus some funny little anecdotes along the way.
Not to mention that it wasn't just a fantastic time in the theater, but he couldn't have been more gracious in the lobby to those who went. Definitely quite a pleasure and a nice experience to have as my first event like this for a solo artist.
I wish I had known that a few of you were there, it seemed like not many BWW'ers were going to be in attendance. I had the fortune to be unexpectedly seated next to n69n! As humble and pleasant as you'd imagine him to be from his posts and art!
Once again, congradulations on such a terrific night.

Definitely agree!! Brian is such a sweetheart and it was a pleasure to talk with him after the show.

I went (w/ Norn) and had a terrific time as well. Brian's voice is just one of a kind. it was so wonderful to hear it live AGAIN! My favorite part was the 80's "suite." & the rest of the band was great.
