OMRG! - Fantasy Springs Wrap Up

Wow.

Many of you know now that I was blessed to be part of the Adam's concert in Indio this last weekend, and I streamed live from as many places as possible at Fantasy Springs and my hotel to bring you guys as close to the party as possible. I bought an Ultra HD Flip Camera and documented my trip from getting on the airplane to arriving home yesterday morning, and plan on making a video compilation of the full events that I recorded for everyone in due time. I did post some exciting videos as I got to interview with Monte and LP. However, when I watched all my footage today, the video with Tommy was NOT recorded, and it was amazing footage just like the ones with LP and Monte. I must have been so overwhelmed (as any of you would be) and hit record twice and it turned it off, only to record the inside of my bag for 10 minutes. I am very upset about that, because it was epic. However, the picture of Tommy and I was uploaded moments after it happened, and it hit the net so fast I was on every major blog and fansite, which was amazing to hear and get all the links to see it. Our pictures of LP, Monte and Tommy were spread like wild fire so fast, amazing. I don't care about credit, but just know they are amazing photos and so blessed to have been in right place at right time. I added a handful of videos to the videos link at top of my trip already as a sneak peak of some of it, and will put together a nice "rock-umentary" when i get time. After meeting the band, and exploring the Fantasy Springs resort, I was able to meet some amazing fans from here on OMRG! and new fans. I did not realize how "popular" my site was or people who said "Oh you are Doug" or "Oh you are OMRG!" - wearing the shirt was GOLD for us here, as I was literally stopped every few minutes by fans of Adam, or fans who were already members here, and asking me about my shirt, where can I buy one (link is on main page at bottom), who I was, did i work for Adam, was I with press, etc. No ego at all, just took in all the energy from the passion of the fans. It was amazing, and as a writer, I am still so tired so I can't put it into words exactly how the entire event meant to me, still now as I sit here. I will be making a video conclusion to the trip when I make the film for the fans that is deep and emotional ending to the epic adventure.

I had no expectations other than meeting people from reunion, the site and seeing Adam perform. Never in a million years would I imagine being able to meet/video/interview the band, be 1 foot from Adam as he was coming off elevator (footage in videos here) and later being invited by Monte and LP to the VIP section of the 12th floor lounge. When you see the video of me meeting Monte (for the second time) he says something that you need to keep in mind as I can talk about it yet, but you will find out in time, I promise. LP and his fiancee, Joan, were amazing, so friendly. I met Leila, Adam's mother, and father Eber as well. I interviewed Isabelle, the oldest fan who was able to come to the resort to see Adam, whom she got to meet as well.

Speaking of the VIP party, only five of us were allowed in there, there was body guard/security and they wouldn't let me film, but Monte did take the camera and film for a while, but it's so dark, I have yet to listen to it, but will add it to the video footage once completed. He was beyond amazing. I told him that I have a link and section dedicated to him on my site and that I promote the whole band along with Adam. Watch the "meeting monte" video...all I can say for now. And Monte, what the hell drink was that you gave me? I was fu*ked up on that last one. I was able to get Sara, a fellow friend and OMRG! fan into the VIP at the end, and she got to meet/mingle with Monte as well. Overwhelming. I had no clue. I was not star struck, I handled myself well, I still can't believe it.

And that wasn't even the concert...lol

I was able to get even closer seats due to a fellow OMRG! member who's husband was unable to make it. So I filmed the full concert by videoing the jumbo screen and I tried to just focus my eye on Adam the whole time, the HD cam I used got great audio, but video was not important to me as I wanted my OWN memories in my head.

Adam was brilliant, epic proportions and hit a core within me on an emotional level. Again, nobody in the history of entertainment, has ever taken me to "this" place. Adam saved my life by restoring my faith in myself last year when I was at a very dark place. While I was at PS airport waiting to go home, I was streaming live and talking as I was as much as I could with the fans, and I broke down in tears and cried. I couldn't contain myself, because even now with writing this, I have no way to describe the weekend to you for you to "feel" what I felt. I am blessed and so grateful for Adam, his band and the energy from the fans.

During the Glamily Reunion, I was stopped a million times, which I loved, but I talked so much in ONE day, my throat was and still is so raw, and from screaming at concert. Out of the 20 prizes, I was one of 600 fans who got something, and I won a poster from the Adam advertisement for his performance. Stoked!

They played some FYE songs and fans danced in the middle of dance floor and I was the only guy and all my "fans" and ladies were around me dancing, and it was just so magical. Adam has brought together an amazing group of fans, family and glam to all of us, and it was felt within all of us. I have video of the glamily party as well to share.

A fellow fan insisted on putting guyliner on me, so I let her, someone filmed it (video posted) - and now people say I should wear it to really bring out my eyes even more. Ugh oh. LOL. I already have the beautiful tattoo (on my profile pic).

I met so many people, I can't remember everyone's names or faces, new members, current members of the OMRG site. I want to say a few thank you's right off bat to Linda E., Rosemary, Victoria, Bekky, Jennifer F., Katie, Sara, and Dee (whom was not getting to go until I hooked her up with someone with tickets to both concert and reunion)

To those of you who I met, I am sorry I dont remember you name, but I love you ALL, you are my family, you are my energy, you are my spirits...and at the end of the day it's all for your entertainment...

...and mine too!

Stay tuned for "Oh My Rock-umentary" - COMING SOON! - If it turns out good, I will burn dvds of it for the fans, but let me see if I can put together something special, but for now check out the video section for all the latest videos I posted.

Love you all so much.

PS: Our site doubled more than half, with going from 550 to 1250 members in 2 days. That is amazing. The Power of Adam. The Power of Glam. The Power of Love.

Until next time...

OMRG! (Doug)

UPDATE:

Oh
My
Rock
God!

A fellow fan here, Debbie M., has sent me this limited edition pendant that was created and embedded with Adam's signature last year, they retailed for $150, and she is sending me one tomorrow as a special gift. I am in shock, and literally tears. Thank you so much to the most amazing "fans" one can have. I will take pictures of me with mine when I get it. Much love to ALL of you. Wow. Lady Gaga sings it best, "speechless"....I should be getting in the mail in a day or so, so stoked. I also have a fan sending me Dior Homme cologne as well, which is a true blessing to have such amazing fans of the site, bottom line, it's The Power of Adam...
