A Late Night In Oakland

A late night for me, but wow! Well worth it!

Of course, that 5:30am wake-up call (that actually ended up being 6:30am because I overslept -- OOPS!) wasn't easy, but we got to the hockey tournament in Antioch on time.

As I've said before, my little wannabe video camera isn't the best, but it works...

Yes, yes, I know it's not a great camera, but check her out!!

Sacramento Has Talent

Well, last night was the semi-finals of "Sacramento Has Talent" at Tommy Ts.

Unfortunately, Lofeeya has been sicker than a dog since Saturday night. Stuffed up, runny nose, sore throat and hoarse.

But like the trooper she is, she got up there and sang "You're Not Supposed To Be Here". She had 10 minutes, but she knew that one song was all her voice would hold for. She did a fine job, but only singing one song, and the small crowd, hurt her.

Yes, she didn't advance to the final, which is this coming Tuesday night, September 22, at Tommy Ts in Rancho Cordova, CA.

I'm so proud of her. She knew that she wouldn't be able to do more than one song, and as the promoter said, "I don't know how you hit some of those notes with your voice like that."

She's a trooper!!

Check Her Out!
