I just posted a review of the self-titled release from Play! Also, I have confirmed that they will be involved with the Passion For Fashion Tour. Here are the dates:
July 6 – Atlanta, Mall of Georgia
July 13 – Houston, Galleria II
July 20 – Dallas, Northeast Mall
July 27 – Chicago, Orland Square
August 3 – Minneapolis, Mall of America
August 10 – Columbus, Polaris Mall
August 17 – Boston, Burlington Mall
August 24 – New York, Roosevelt Field
Please note the performances start at 3pm and in the past the Malls have done absolutely no promotion. In other words, don’t be surprised if you call the mall and they have no clue about it.
Watch for the video of Kid In You by Krystal Harris on Disney Channel. It’s pretty kewl (thanks Heather)
Oh I also want to send a shot out to the following peeps who crashed my Birthday Party on Friday and brought me the sweetest gifts. Word up to my homies – Leong (the Eeyore Pez dispensor and sweet wrapping paper), Bean and Lauren (the Slip and Slide along with the sweet Disney Game), Amanda, Carrie and Heather (the cutest Lilo Doll and 626 (Alien Stitch), Kimmer (the sweetest little stretchy ID thing), Lindy and Natalie (the coolest wristbands on the planet – they sleeved me with them), Jared (the Barney Card and Hug – haha), Jason (the sweet Best Buy certificate), and of course I gotta send a shout out to someothers who dropped by – Grace, BV, and Seth. Last but not least, special thanks to Sarah for setting up the whole thing… but next year can you get Bubbles the Clown? Haha!
