BERNIE WILLIAMS WEEK!

I very much enjoyed checking out Bernie Williams week, last week, on Gleny’s website! I wanted to put Bernie on my site as well and asked for a BW RobFuz.com Fan sign! I got a few bonus signs in the process! Thanks Gleny!

He will be watching his brother’s pug next week, so I hope I will get another sign 🙂

Cheap Trick In-Store

WOW

Checked out one of my all time favorite bands today CHEAP TRICK, with my bud Chris Lee at Vintage Vinyl promoting their new DVD “From Tokyo To You”. They were awesome! Wasn’t a huge crowd, but at least 150 people came down to check out the band! The boys did 3 songs (all acoustic) – California Man, Best Friend (From the latest CD “Special One”) and one of my all time favorite song, I Want You To Want Me!

The guys are really nice! I got in a self portrait with the man himself, lead singer Robin Zander! Chris also enjoyed meeting the band and even got an autograph for my pal Mike!

MY NEW SONY DIGITAL CAMERA!

Google Search: Sony W1 Reviews

I GOT IT!

I was looking awhile for a camera I can take with me everywhere! Don’t get me wrong, I love my other babies, but I was ready to take the next step to the latest Sony Digital Camera! After extensive research and also forgetting my lil water proof camera at the All Star game, I came across the Sony DSC-W1! I was on the fence in the past to get the Cannon Elph or another Sony camera, but this solved my problem! It really does look like and Elph and is comparable in size.

The new W1 has a bad ass HUGE 2.5 inch screen which I LOVED on my CD based Mavica cameras, you just can’t beat it! Also love the key Carl Zeiss Lens on it, a 3X zoom is pretty good for what I need! It also takes AA batteries, so in a pinch you can get the batteries anywhere! The rechargeable Sony batteries are only like 9 bucks a pair, so you can’t go wrong with them as well! The usage time on them is around 2 hours, so I was happy with the battery life! It also has an eyepiece and it is extremely SUPER FAST! From turning on the camera to the actual first shot was less than 2 seconds! IT WAS AWESOME! I was also shocked that it did amazing video, 30 fps movie mode! I got the 512 Memory Stick Pro and it can hold up to around 20 mins of good video! I am looking forward to doing some streaming video pieces on it and adding it right to my website!

I am sure I will find some flaws with it, like red eye you always get with small cameras and the tiny flash! I also wanted BLACK 🙁 but I just couldn’t wait! I can’t wait to get to Italy and use this new awesome cam! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
