Formula One Friday

Formula One has arrived in Singapore for a second year.  Quite frankly, I have never been a big fan of car racing, but there were more than enough events to keep anyone in town entertained and excited about the weekend.  On Friday, I first checked out the new BMW campaign “Joy In, Joy Out” at Cosmo, The Bistro in Wisma Atria.  We all had to scribble down a message about what joy means to us…

It’s always fun to check out these media events although this event was outdoors and stifling hot.  I don’t think my body has gotten used to this tropical weather again…or will it ever!  Also in attendance were Amy Cheng, Bobby Tonelli, and Irene Ang…

Soon after this gig, I bolted over to F1 Rocks at Fort Canning Park.  Dom from Channel V was also on hand to work some interviews with the acts that night…

I’ve been hearing that even though the outdoor concert was another “sweater,” the stage was pretty awesome…and it was.  Here’s a couple shots from ZZ Top’s performance…

Mad props to these performers cuz they’ve been doing their thang since I was a kid myself.  ZZ Top had white beards back then, and they’ve still kept that “signature look” now.  I guess once you’re known for something that people identify you with, then you can definitely consider “milking” it for a long time!  Use It or Lose It…But Please Don’t Abuse It!!

After N.E.R.D., Simple Minds, and ZZ Top performed, I was all pysched to see No Doubt hit the stage.  However, John Langan told me that he had this hot chick that I should meet so I made a quick wardrobe change and then rolled over to the Elegantly Wasted event at The Rabbit Hole.  I was wondering whether this mystery lady was worth missing No Doubt…

…I think so.  And You?
