And the Grammy Nomination goes to?


last night we took a holiday break to celebrate with our dear friends stephanie and grant at the 2008 grammy nominations at the nokia theatre in los angeles.


what an amazing time we had. walking the red carpet was a blast especially since we were on the other side of the lens. aeg live has completely transformed the courtyard outside of the theatre (across from the staples center) to this winter wonderland. gorgeous lighting and a tree that was built from the ground up, by hand, each light was strung. it has a feel of tokyo meets time square so for us new yorkers it was a real treat. oh how we miss the east during this season. tune into ktla each night as they will host special holiday events at 7pm live. the grammy museum is now open too.


inside the nokia, bb king and john mayer took the stage by storm and did not let go! john also took a sweeping 5 nominations. not only is he this amazingly gifted artist but he is incredibly funny! his storytelling and lead-ins was just as enjoyable. he made a great reference to our current climate and our election to his song "waiting on the world to change" and changed the lyrics to a joyful "no longer waiting on the world to change." it was awesome!


the setting was as intimate as a night club. mayer sang a version of tom petty’s "free falling" that even tom cruise in jerry mcguire would be proud of. our favorite quote of the night was "laugh, out loud, laugh until you choke." thank you john for sharing your talents and humor with us. we are no longer waiting! congratulation’s and we’ll see you on grammy night sunday, february 8th 2009.
