(I can't believe no one's mentioned this on the list yet?)
Fixer and I went to see Richie & John do the Plus 8 Classics tour thing
at Giant in LA last night. While I'm not much of a fan of "superclubs",
it's a nice big venue, and the DJ area is low (2 feet above the main floor)
and one could get a great view of Richie spinning (and sliding ... and tapping)
his magic behind the decks/efx/909. He tore it up as usual (and a "Join In The
Chant" remix encore! Long time no hear), and a good time was had by all.
(I'll have a couple of pictures up in the next day or so.)
At the show there were flyers for the Plus 8 Classics tour (practically
non-stop until December 2nd in Singapore). The big news on it:

It's time for me to go back to Detroit.
