In one week Saturday, Dec 13th - join me and Steven Wayne for a really fun 80's party in Palm Desert at Fisherman's Grotto. I'll be DJing and Steven will have his massive screen and video show to make it an amazing night and a great start to the holiday season. Last time it sold out so don't miss it

For the last month of the year, particularly one with lots of gatherings, don't forget to make it good by saying, "White Rabbits, White Rabbits, White Rabbits" as soon as you wake up. That way, according to the old English superstition you'll have good luck all month long. Try it.

Tomorrow will be officially OMD day in Los Angeles. They are being honored by the LA City Council and the band will greet their fans a little after 10am on the steps of City Hall, so if you are in the area come and down and enjoy the celebration.

So last night between Wang Chung and Howard Jones I was able to do my full 45 minute stand-up routine. The audience was amazing, and at one point I borrowed a wig from a girl in the front row. A lot of people took pics and videos, and it seemed to have been.a big hit. It was certainly fun!

After tonight's epic performances I got to hang with Howard Jones and his amazing band and crew that I was honored to tour with twice this year for two months, criss-crossing the country. The gang was back together. Looking forward to touring with such talented people again.

Off to The Sands Rocks in Cancun for a few days to party and DJ there with the wonderful Howard Jones, plus Wang Chung and Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes To Hollwood. I'll be doing my show on SiriusXM 1st Wave all week from there and posting pics. Should be an awesome time. #iflyalaska

Sad news. David Ball, from Soft Cell, passed away last night. He'd been battling ill health, and Marc Almond told me that he had to drop out of the US Soft Cell tour because of it. They were instrumental in starting the British Invasion of the 80s.He will be terribly missed.

Flying back to LA after an incredible few days on the east coast and the wonderful wedding of Alicia and Topher last night. The airport is super quiet for Krista and I's early morning flight, so we'll probably doze off at 35,000 feet. Back on SiriusXM 1st Wave tomorrow. Talk to you then #iflyalaska

First day on the east coast. Heading through Maine and then into New Hampshire. Stopped at Gary's Tavern in Naples (not Italy!) for lunch. Fun bar and they even have an IPA for 80's fans - Totally Tubular. Fun times.

It's Indigenous People's Day, I learned so much when I was writing my first novel, SPQR, and working with a dear friend, Grey Eagle, to get as much correct as possible. Times have obviously changed so much, but our country's first inhabitants should be remembered and respected.

Thinking of buying a coffee maker tomorrow during Prime Days. Question. Anyone have any recommendations for which DECAF K-cup brand I should get for the machine? Thanks.

Here it is. The amazing combination of Howard Jones and Brandon Flowers from the final stop on our Dream Into Action tour in Utah last night. And I shot it up close, from the photo pit, both songs in their entirety. Let me know what you think. youtu.be/eIFgFFTCioU?...

Good morning from Salt Lake City airport. After wrapping the amazing Dream Into Action tour at the jam-packed Baseball stadium in Utah, it's back to LA on an early morning Alaska flight to Burbank. Hope you enjoyed the stories from the road.
