Hello hello-
I know I've been a bit incommunicado over the past few months, but there's been several things brewing that I couldn't dialog about-- until now.  I always want things set in stone before I post them or send them out in a newsletter.  So, now-- as of two days ago-- I can let you all know some of the exciting things that are going on.


First off, after this Boston leg of Dirty Dancing, I'm heading back to Estonia to headline a really cool project.  Choreographer/Director Mare Tommingas and Musical Director Tarmo Leinatamm-- along with Producer Paavo Nogene-- are the creative team behind "Queen: The Doors Of Time"-- a futuristic ballet set to the music of the rock band Queen.  I will be headlining this string of 15 performances, being joined by Rolf Roosalu, Tanja Mihhailova, Noorkuu & the Vanemuise Balletitrupp.  Some of you may know that I've performed in Estonia before, working with the talented Paavo--so you know that this event is going to very very cool and very full-on!  If any of you happen to be in the Tartu area of Estonia during the later part of May, you must come check out these shows.  Be assured that they are "guaranteed to blow your mind"!  (Check out the "shows" page at www.tonyvincent.com for more information.)

Second-- and this is a big one-- I'm leaving New York City and moving back to Las Vegas, NV.  To make a long story concise, Aspen (my wife) has recently signed a contract with Cirque du Soleil to be one of the 4 female vocalists in their new "Life Of Elvis" production set to open in the new City Center property later this year.  Many know that I met my wife when she played opposite me in the Vegas incarnation of “We Will Rock You”.  To our surprise, Aspen and I grew to love Las Vegas during our time there, and in the end, we didn't want to leave when the show finished its run at the Paris Las Vegas hotel.  Both of us are from the west coast of the United States and we have always longed to be closer to our extended families.  Unfortunately, the planets didn't align to let that happen in 2005.  Since returning to New York City, however, we have been looking for opportunities that would take us back to "The Strip".  Now, as of only three days ago-- when Aspen inked her deal with Cirque-- we begin planning the logistics to leave the city that I've called home for 13 years and permanently relocate to "Sin City".  If you would, please pray for Aspen and I-- there are so many details that we have to deal with that it's seeming a bit overwhelming at the moment.  We would both be truly grateful.

So, being that I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling over the next several months--  most of the time with my Mac Book Pro-- I wanted to mention something to the readers of this newsletter.  This past winter, when I was on a train in Chicago, I saw this gentleman with a very-very-cool laptop bag.  I'm kind of a bag/luggage snob and the style and ergonomics of this bag fascinated me.  I casually got closer to him so that I could read the logo on the bag-- which read bbp.  I pulled out my mobile and texted myself the name of the company to see if I could find them online when I returned to my flat.

When I returned home, I booted up my comp and googled "bbp bags".  I began reading about this company and started viewing several styles of bags and computer sleeves that they manufactured and I was sold!  I had been needing to replace my broken-down laptop bag and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for.  You all MUST check out this site-- not only because these are the coolest, most comfortable and ergonomic bags I've ever seen/used, but because I contacted the owner of the company and he has offered any subscriber of the tonyvincent.com-newsletter a 10% discount!  All you need to do is head over to bbp bags (http://www.bbpbags.com/), chose any non-clearance item, enter in the code: "____" on checkout and you're done!  (They even have free ground shipping-- so you can't lose!)
