How could I forget about the DJ Boy George gigs!

So I'm thinking really need to dig up the dates of when I saw Boy George DJing here in Toronto. There was club "Fluid" Summer 2001 (still need to confirm date Monday July 16th 2001), and later on there was "This is London" club April 20th 2007. (Somewhere in this crowd on this video). Both times I was with good friends. I remember leaving the Fluid gig and was right behind Boy as he hopped into a car and then us into a taxi heading home. We looked like we were following them, but were not, he was staying at a small quaint hotel near my home in Yorkville. It could have seemed like a Beatles film moment had he been looking out of his car. Second time with Scott and he has a better memory then me and reminded me of some cute moments while with his ex-girlfriend and her date as well.

There was a time when I had tickets to see him, only to get a refund as the show was cancelled as he could not get into the country at that time. I was so disappointed! I've been a fan since 1982 and followed Boy's solo career even to this day. It would be nice to meet with him sometime before I die, so he's top on my bucket list. David Bowie, Boy George and then Richard O'Brien.

I went to see the play "Taboo" in New York at the last show as well. What a grand production that was!

This is just me reminiscing.
