"I think the day you think you've figured something out, you're in trouble." - Shannon Leto....Sandy and I got to Cinci in record time, no cops, no traffic.  We finally found our hotel through all fault of our own. The crappy directions we were given, took us through the scenic parts of Cinci, we wouldn't  have gone through except for those direcions.  Tell us what to do and we do it...  So Sandy spotted some tall buildings and decided it must be there, so there we went and lo and be hold, here was our hotel... YAY!!!  We were unsure of our way for about 10 minutes.  So we figured we did pretty good. We got settled in and voted for a while, had a crappy lunch, reason for my hangover, I didn't eat mine.  Then we voted awhile and then got ready to go. Called a cab to go to the 20th Century Theatre and were on our way.  The cab sucked.  It smelled so badly of gasoline that Sandy thought we were gonna blow when I lit a cigarette.  I hadn't noticed the smell yet.  Then we couldn't roll down the windows for air and there was no place to put out the cig.  Luckily, we were like 5 minutes away, straight shot.  We lined up with all the young folks, some brought their parents, and after Sandy finished gagging and throwing up, we stayed in the sweltering line for maybe an hour.  Got a good shot of the marquis and will maybe post it when and if I get all our pictures re-sized and uploaded.  Takes a while you know...Got our paper bracelets so we could go in and out and drink.  Got in line for merch.  Was surprised to see the cd's are now $15.  Makes it hard to give them away at that price... I'm up to 74 given away, if you care to know. Still checking for them on sale all over. They had the vinyl album there and a couple of new shirts, along with the standard items.   Got our beers and went inside the theatre.  Got up real close and then changed our mind.  Went back to a safe raised area and were able to see everything very well without getting kicked in the head. My inside pictures sucked, but what the hell.  The crowd surfers were crazy and always landed on stage.  The security guards were busy all night escorting them stage right...left who knows, but they were busy all night.  The stage wasn't very big to begin with and having to perform with these jokers landing in front of you made it rough... Applause to the security guards!!!

30 SECONDS TO MARS...The guys didn't all dress in the same color, they wore either black or white with bandanas.  Shannon came out with a shirt on, but it didn't last long.  The set list is as follows as best as I can remember:  Carmina Burana (O Fortuna), A BEAUTIFUL LIE, BUDDHA FOR MARY(a little bit naughty), THE KILL, they took video of the crowd and thanked everyone for their support. Jared was very profuse and sincere, in his appreciation, and asked us to keep voting;  THE STORY, BATTLE OF ONE, THE MISSION, THE FANTASY, for the Echelon, then Jared sang solo while the other guys had a bit of a break; OBLIVION, CAPRICORN, FROM YESTERDAY and  also CLOSER- NINE INCH NAILS with great audience participation.  I wondered what those moms who brought their teenagers thought.... "I wanna fuck you like an animal, I wanna feel it from the inside..."  They probably sang along with all of us...    Then they (all the guys) finished with ATTACK.  IT WAS FANTASTIC!! As ususal.(We peed our pants only about three times... tried to stop drinking after 7PM but the beers and Yagermeister kept calling our names.  The vodka before the show went down very nicely...)I called my Creativical Twin, Fran in New Brunswick at the start and kept her on the phone for the whole performance.  I hope she liked it, it wasn't the best way to hear it, but I know she appreciated it.  We made some new friends in the theatre, one who stayed with us all night and took pictures for me was Cecelia. She was great!!! I'm going to send her a signed cd, I hope she sends me a message with her address.  We got seperated after the show and we thought she went home and then I found her outside, but the venue wouldn't let her back in,  hiss, hiss, boo, boo...  I took a video of BATTLE OF ONE and then had to delete it in order to take pics outside.  When we got back to the hotel, someone had very kindly send a bulletin with a BATTLE OF ONE video attached which was much better than the one I would've had.  THANK YOU TO MARS ARMY GIRL, YOU ROCK!!!  I DON'T KNOW WHO TOOK THE VID, BUT THANK YOU TOO!!!! LET ME KNOW IF IT WAS YOU!!! They usually tell us from the stage they will be at the merch booth signing autographs.  This night they didn't so I assumed they wouldn't.  I made an ass outta me...We waited for some time in the autograph line, but the guys were wonderful as usual, Shannon grabbed our hands again and spoke, Tomo spoke as well... I think he remembered his Detroit buddies.  Jared was inundated with people wanting pics.  Sandy got a few really good candid ones. Little drunk girlie did good... Old drunk girlie did poorly...  But we had a BLAST!!! Sandy found her assertive self and got the job done.  Outside waiting for the guys to come to the bus, we re-accquainted ourselves with some Echelon, or met new people we hadn't met before.  It was fun.  Taking pictures with and for each other, it was real nice.  Shannon and Tomo were all over the place, meeting, greeting, taking pics, posing for pics, chatting with everyone.  Poor Jared couldn't hardly get out the door. Tomo and Shannon did their best drawing people away from where Jared needed to come through, but they weren't buying it.  He looked as though he was trying not to prolong the photo ops, wearing a hoodie and all covered up. I think he tried to get in his sincere, immense, thanks to everyone from the stage. They needed to leave right away. We were told this earlier in the autograph line...  So some people did try to give them a break... others didn't have a clue... but it was a nice night and they eventually were able to get on the bus and leave. Many people hung around later, meeting, chatting, taking pics of those they met through the boards, myspace... etc.  It was very nice. 
So for the last show of this tour, IT WAS AMAZING!!! Yes, everyone missed Matt!!!  But come on, the guy's on his honeymoon.  They didn't anticipate the tour being extended this long... Can you imagine not having your brothers at your wedding, or not being able to attend your brothers wedding, that is, if you're as close with your brothers, as these guys are... and only two of them are brothers.  These guys love each other, their fans and the music.  We love them right back!!!  Show your love, by voting.  Keep on voting "'til your fingers bleed..."  LOVE TO ALL !!!  SNAG WHATEVER PICTURES YOU WANT. THEY AREN'T THE GREATEST, BUT FEEL FREE. NO CREDIT NECESSARY!!!!
 Here's Shannon getting mobbed. Actually his version of crowd control so Jared can get to the bus...
Yes, Tomo's #1.   What a goofy face!!   LOVE THE SHIRT!!!!
 

Jared at the merch booth. Nice Sandy!!!   Jared really outdid himself in speaking to the fans.  You could really tell how much they appreciate their fans.  I've heard him many times in interviews and at shows, but this time, because perhaps it was the last for this tour, he was just much more Jared!!

Sandy's agressive streak took hold of her and she took hold of Tomo and snagged him for this pic...
 
 
These guys are so intent when interacting with their fans. 

The attention they give to their  fans just blows me away.  

I wonder if I should get this one??? Put it where???

Here Sandy grabs another hottie (Christian -Chicago Echelon) for a pic...
 
Here's Kirk, he so happy he got another drum cover signed and Ruthie's trying to steal it.... Just kidding.
 
Picture of the Echelon gang, with the sold out marquis behind. What a great group of people!!!

HOLLYWOOD - Lindsay Lohan has hinted she's still dating actor Jared Leto, by confessing they share late-night phone chats.

Lohan dated her Chapter 27 co-star earlier this year, but the couple were presumed to have split.

Now the 20-year-old has reignited rumors the flames of passion are still burning--although she confesses she is confused by their relationship and isn't sure if they were ever an item.

She says, "I spoke to him last night, actually.

"I don't know what went on with Jared. I don't know what I consider 'that'."

Lindsay, honey, it's called it fucking,


Here is their bio for Jared the boy toy:

 

Sometimes Credited As:
n/a

Born:
Bossier City, Louisiana on 12/26/1971

Professions:
Actor, photographer, doorman, dishwasher

A frequent name on People magazine's list of the 50 most beautiful people, hunky, low-key heartthrob Jared Leto had a peripatetic childhood, wandering nomadically with his older brother and divorced mother to Haiti, Louisiana, Wyoming, Colorado and Virginia, among other places. After briefly studying painting and filmmaking, he moved to Los Angeles at age 20 to pursue an acting career, making his TV debut on the innovative youth series "My So-Called Life" (ABC, 1994-95) as an enigmatic, strong silent type who was the on-again, off-again love interest of Claire Danes' heroine. 

Etc, etc

Currently Listening A Beautiful Lie By 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill 30 Seconds to Mars/Jared Leto!!! A few weeks ago, I was sitting at Bluefish chowing down on some sushi, waiting for Yesy and Anoma to show up.  I noticed some guys sitting at the bar, but didn't think anything of it.  Yesy showed up, and sat down and we ordered some drinks.  My friend Cindy was our waitress. A random guy walked up to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat down right in front of me, and next to Yesy.  He was just talking to us about this band he was in, and that we should go to their concert that night.  He told me that it was called "30 Seconds to Mars", and I told him that I had heard about it.  I noticed Yesy acting kind of shy, but I was just talking away.  I told him that we might go to a club that night, but that we would let him know.  After he went back to his table, that was set up right next to ours, also in Cindy's section, Yesy told me that it was Jared Leto.  I was like shut the hell up!!! The more I looked at him, the more I realized that it was Jared Leto, and I then remembered that I had heard on TV that he was in a band now.  Well, we ended up buying them some sake, and took a picture with them.  We took them up on their offer to go to the concert, since it was sold out!!  We went and got in free, of course.  It was awesome!! They really are a good band!  Only in Dallas would something like that happen!  It was such a random night!  Here's the pics.... Yesy, Anoma and I at our table.    Anoma, Jared Leto, Yesy, Guitar Player, Me, Jared's Brother (drummer), and Cindy

Good shot

 

Singing away....

 

GOOD TIMES!!!  I'm a fan for sure now!

WHAT WILL TAME HOLLYWOOD WILD CHILD LINDSAY?

By Clare Raymond

Her party-animal lifestyle, attention-seeking stunts such as pole-dancing with Kate Moss, and feuds with fellow celebs have become legendary. And this week she secured her title as the latest bad girl in showbiz by driving a movie mogul to distraction for failing to turn up for work.

Flame-haired Lindsay - who earns £11million a year and has been making movies since she was 11 - was accused of behaving like a "spoiled child" by James G Robinson, the 70-year-old producer of her latest movie, Georgia Rule.

 He angrily dismissed her "bogus excuses" of heat exhaustion and illness and blamed her "all-night partying" for her unreasonable behaviour on set.

 "To date, your actions have been discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional," Robinson wrote in a sternly-worded letter accusing Lindsay of delaying filming.

 "You have acted like a spoiled child and in doing so have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality of this picture. Moreover, your actions have resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. We will not tolerate these actions any further."

 The reprimand prompted Lindsay to return to the set - but it didn't stop her partying hard again last weekend.

 She went shopping in Malibu before jetting off to Las Vegas to enjoy the nightlife with her boyfriend Harry Morton, 25, whose dad Peter runs the Hard Rock restaurant chain. They then headed back to Morton's beach house where she was later seen frolicking in the Pacific in a skimpy blue bikini.

It's a clear indication that Lindsay, who shot to fame in Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and Herbie: Fully Loaded, is unlikely to change her ways any time soon. In fact, she seems determined to carry on doing exactly what she wants.

"I've worked very hard for a long time now and I've been very disciplined about my career," says Lindsay. "Going clubbing is my way of relaxing and releasing a lot of stress."

 It is her habit of burning the candle at both ends that sparked Robinson's furious letter.

Four hours before she collapsed with "exhaustion" on set last week and was taken to hospital, Lindsay was seen out with her friend Nicole Richie, 24, and other pals at LA hotspot Guy's Bar. They had knocked back bottles of Corona beer and vodka cocktails before hitting the dancefloor and belting out karaoke numbers.

 AT hospital, the doctors warned her to go home and rest but she ignored their advice and was back out the same night at the Il Sole restaurant with Harry.

 

It is not the first time that Lindsay's hectic social life has taken its toll on her health. In 2004 she was hospitalised with "exhaustion" while recording her first album, Speak.

 "I was so tired and I wasn't eating or sleeping right," she said. "Instead of resting I was going out with my friends dancing or out for dinner at night, I wasn't taking time to stay at home and relax.

"I felt like I was missing out on something. Los Angeles does that to you. When you hear everyone is going out, you think, 'Oh, what if something happens and I'm not out?'"

 Despite these health scares she has refused to slow down. She is regularly snapped tumbling out of nightclubs in LA, New York and London in the early hours of the morning with fellow party girls Paris Hilton, Kate Moss, the Olsen twins or Kimberley Stewart.

 

Her revealing outfits, with sexy undies on show, grab just as much attention as her wild child antics. In January she stunned the clientele of a New York strip joint by performing a saucy pole-dance with Kate Moss, before kissing the 31-year-old supermodel. The pair then ordered trays of vodka, beer and cocktails while enjoying lap-dances by the club's girls.

 Worryingly, Lindsay sees Moss - who is 12 years her senior and went into rehab after being exposed by the Daily Mirror as a cocaine user - as her "icon".

 But she vehemently denies taking drugs, except for having dabbled with cannabis in the past, saying she has seen the destructive way cocaine has affected her father, Michael.

 

Also in January she was taken to hospital in London after cutting herself while staying at Canadian rocker Bryan Adams's home. Earlier that night she had partied until 3.30am with Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson at a Kensington club.

And last month, Lindsay celebrated her 20th birthday with two parties - one for 100 friends in California, and two weeks days later she threw an Independence Day beach party.

 

Along with the fast-living, she has acquired a reputation for demanding diva-like behaviour. On a recent stay in London she ordered two cases of Arizona Pomegranate Green tea to be delivered to her suite at the swanky Dorchester. And she reportedly threw a tantrum in 2004 after missing a flight to New York from LA.

 She has also become known for celebrity pats. She famously fell out with actress ilary Duff after they both dated hearthrob Aaron Carter.

 Duff said: "I know so many stories about her that I could tell but I'm not going to because I don't think people should know." Another rift developed with pop star Avril Lavigne after Lohan ridiculed her on a US chat show.

 

Meanwhile her lovelife has kept everyone guessing. She has been romantically linked with a dizzying list of men, including Bruce Willis, Christian Slater, Colin Farrell, Jake Gyllenhaal, Wilmer Valderrama, McFly's Harry Judd, Jared Leto, Leo DiCaprio and Sean Lennon.

 And her changing shape has sparked rumours of an eating disorder. Fans were so shocked when she lost two stone after making Herbie, that they launched an online petition, "Please Lindsay, Eat!" and in January she confessed she had eating disorder bulimia

 "I was making myself sick," she told Vanity Fair, in an interview she later retracted. "My arms were disgusting, so thin."

 Lindsay, who was signed to Ford modelling agency at the age of three, can trace her troubles back to a turbulent family life. Her parents' relationship was rocky and violent - her mum Dina, 43, claims that husband Michael first attacked her the night they got engaged.

SHE recalls coming home from making her firstt film, The Parent Trap, when she was 11 to find that her father was "away".

He had been sent to prison for four years for stock fraud. It was the beginning of a series of run-ins he had with the police.

In 2000, Dina requested a protection order against Michael, 45, after filing for divorce. He phoned her 150 times in 24 hours until she called the police and he was sent back to jail. Now Lindsay has severed all ties with her Irish dad - a former Wall Street trader who built up and then sold the family's multi-million dollar pasta business. He is currently serving four years in New York's Collins Correctional Facility for crimes including attacking his brother-in-law with a shoe and driving while twice the legal limit. He pleaded guilty in May 2005 to drink driving, attempted assault, aggravated harassment and criminal contempt. He also admitted threatening another brother-in-law and to criminal contempt for breaking a court restraining order.

 

Lindsay poured out her heart about her troubled relationship with her dad in her music video for Confessions Of A Broken Heart. It told the story of a girl asking her father: "If you loved us, why did you do all these things?"

Her parents split later that year and Lindsay missed the UK premiere of Herbie: Fully Loaded to be at the court hearing of their messy divorce.

"He has never done anything for my family or for my career," she said. "I don't have any respect for someone who has treated my mother the way he has and by not being a responsible father. There were so many times in the past where he would just disappear for several days and we'd all be frantic with worry." Fortunately, her mum - a former cabaret dancer who is now Lindsay's manager - has always been there for her. And true to form, Dina has leapt to her defence after seeing her daughter admonished by that stinging letter. "On the set it was 105 degrees," said Dina. "And she has bronchial asthma. So any extreme heat or cold, she can't breathe... My daughter is a wonderful child. She will win an Academy Award for this picture."

 

If, that is, it ever gets finished. During the rest of shooting, Lindsay's older co-star Jane Fonda has agreed to take the young starlet under her wing and try to curb her wayward ways. She certainly has her work cut out.

Date: 1st August, 2006 Posted by: Kat Khalil Source: The Sun

The Sun newspaper has revealed that Lindsay Lohan has been dumped by her record label in the UK, after bosses got sick of her partying ways, and the fact that she couldn't be bothered to promote her first album. Island Records gave the actress and singer the boot this week, and it looks as if ther singing 'career' may be over in Britiain as a result. Lohan will next be seen on the big screen in a movie about Mark Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon. Hunky Jared Leto plays Chapman in the film, which is called CHAPTER 27.

  
 Whatever, she is still hot and I would love to witness one of her nip slips in the flesh

FR: Styler, Director of Operations, MARSarmy [ECHELON division]
TO: the ECHELON
RE:A MESSAGE FROM JARED AND 30SECONDSTOMARS
ECHELON,

I write this letter to the believers.

To the ones who understand.

A few days ago we were awoken to some incredible news.

It is news many of you already know about.

Our short film for 'THE KILL' has been nominated for an MTV award for BEST ROCK VIDEO OF THE YEAR!!!!

This is such an amazing acknowledgement of ALL of our hard work, especially the ECHELON, and we are very honored to be included. It is a strong statement of the success of all of your incredible passion, commitment and belief.

You should all be so very very proud.

To be included in this pantheon of such respected and familiar artists is a sign that we have started to break through the restraints and barriers that so many have tried so badly to keep us in for so many years now.

To finally have some understanding and acceptance of who and what we are is a testament to the power of the belief of a few and the impact that can have on the multitudes.

This is an opportunity.

An opportunity for us all.

A chance to once again make the impossible possible.

We may not be the most popular band amongst the illustrious group of nominees and we may not have sold as many albums as our respected peers in this category of "Best Rock Video".....but I know one thing for certain...

I LOVE A GOOD FIGHT.

And I know you do too.

This is a battle we can win.

I have said it before and I will say it again....

We may not be the biggest band in the world....
But we have the strongest and most dedicated fans and family in the entire universe.

Other bands are voting relentlessly already and have employed tricks and schemes using teams of professionals and quite possibly the power of black magic..... Some may think they have not a worry in the world, some may even think they have already won, but...

I have news for them.

They will soon feel the heat of the ECHELON on their backs and eventually they be watching us disappearing into the distance from afar....

Unity divides.

Division will unite.

Spread the word, VOTEuntil your fingers bleed and let's celebrate together.

PROVEHITO IN ALTUM

-JARED LETO
[echelon]

I wasn't allowed to shoot this band -- it usually doesn't phase me -- but their road manager threatened to "tear the memory card out of my camera" -- so this is about as good as it got before I packed it in for the night. heh.
