UPDATED: More photos! Gary plus Jeff Vezain, Gina Gonzales, and Kimo Williams. Click “Read the rest…”

Good morning!

I was lucky enough to catch the Lt. Dan Band at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana, California on Saturday night. What a show — this is an awfully impressive group of musicians! They play a fabulous, diverse set, covering music from five decades. (Is there anything on earth cooler than Kimo Williams? I think the answer is clearly no.)

Gary has an easy, relaxed leadership presence on stage, but everyone gets a chance to shine. The result is a fantastic evening of music and fun. So watch this space and if the LDB comes to your area, be sure and go!

Said hi to Gary after the show, and he had nothing but the nicest things to say about this site. It’s really a reflection on all the people who have helped over the years, past and present, to make it what it is. I really couldn’t do it alone. And apparently we do a pretty good job keeping on top of things — “If I want to know something about myself, I just go there.” (Mostly kidding, but still? Best. Compliment. Ever.)

Sinisefan Glenda Cain was also at the show, and unlike me, she actually takes good pictures, which she is nice enough to share with us. So we’ll meet you on the other side of Read the Rest…

Greetings and happy 2007! We hope you all had a great holiday season. Now that the last carol has been sung, the final champagne cork popped, etc., we’ve got some news to catch you up on.

• A New Year’s message from Gary, as well as new concert dates, have been posted on the Lt. Dan Band web site.
  
• You might remember that Gary and the LDB performed for Operation Support Our Troops Illinois back in July. A chunk of the funds raised at that event have gone to help provide internet access to wounded veterans at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital in Maywood, Ill. (If any of you are visiting — a very special hello!)
  
• Kim Basinger and Gary are officially the new ambassadors for Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier. They participated in a photo session with celebrity photographers Jeff Lipsky and Black Little. The proceeds from the rights to the images have been donated to charitable organizations - environmental protection and the education of underprivileged children, two causes supported by Baume & Mercier’s charitable campaign. You can see one of the photos of Gary here.
  
• Open Season will be released on DVD on January 30.
  
• Gary was mentioned in an article about celebrity philanthropy in the Ottawa Sun.
  
• In an article about the CSI franchise from the Independent (UK) (via tvgrapevine.com) Gary’s character is referred to as “the most modern and complex and the least archetypal of the trio, his greyness suiting the post-September 11 Manhattan location.” And the National Post (Canada) has a Q&A with CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.
  
• Finally, OMG, are people really still asking this question? (At least they are asking someone who isn’t me.) Did this guy miss the first hour of Forrest Gump? Really, I want to know.
