2012 TOUR REVIEW THREAD-PLEASE SHARE YOUR 2012 MB CONCERT ADVENTURES WITH US HERE!!!!

HELLO EVERYONE, Since the 2011 Tour Review Thread is not playing nice and throwing us all back to the beginning lately, Gail asked if I would go ahead and start the 2012 thread. So here it is.. We can all share our excitement for Michael's upcoming touring and events in 2012 and chat and have fun here till the shows start in 2012.

Everyone is welcome to post and share their stories and pictures, videos from concerts and trips to see Michael do what he does best-SING!!!   Michael will be touring in 2012 starting so far with some shows the end of January.  There could be other events sooner too so if anyone attends a great Bolton event/concert, feel free to share your experience here.  I hope to have a review after the Chester, PA show on January 28th along with some other fans that have gotten tickets for that show and  the Atlantic City, NJ show on January 27th as well!  After that there are shows in Australia so far listed for 2012.  Following those shows we have the Concert for MBC and Traveler's Golf Event in June, 2012 and later on the MBC Gala in Sept.. We already have some exciting events to look forward to next year and I know there will be much more to come.

I am looking forward to another fun year of posts and sharing by the best Michael Bolton fans in the world on this forum.. I will post events to keep the thread moving along as the concerts come up as before.

 

Welcome everyone!!!!!

Found this article in the Hartford Courant published today and as it is about golf competition and concert last night thought I would put on here and in the Charity thread as well and as all pictures connected too have come out as well as they have thought I would leave well alone.......very nice photo of Michael just down below........

"Momentum continued during Travelers Championship week in Connecticut Tuesday night as golfers left the links and fans headed to Hartford for the second annual Michael Bolton & Friends Benefit Concert.

“I just love Michael Bolton,” said  Avon resident Janet McPhee about the Grammy-award winning New Haven native whose concert benefits his  Branford-based Michael Bolton Charities.  ”I really don’t care much about the golfing but my husband does, so I told him I would go to the tournament with him this week if he would come here with me tonight.”

The evening was a packed one as guests, som paying up to $500 to attend a meet-and-greet with the Connecticut singer following his show,  hobnobbed at the 15 restaurant dine-around that spilled out over two floors.  Some restaurants, like Dish in Hartford , got into the spirit of the evening by presenting their food on a table designed to look like a putting green. Other restaurants including Mill at 2T, Feng, Carbone’s, Salute, On20 and Agave were all scoring a “hole in one”  as far as diners were concerned with dishes ranging from fresh corn soup, sushi  and pulled pork to pot de creme and hand-dipped chocolates.

Among the guests were several tournament chairs, wearing their precious red blazers, and remembering tournaments gone by, and purses that were nowhere near the millions of today.

“I remember when Billy Casper won the tournament and his prize for that was $20,000,” said 1968 chair John Halotek, who came with his wife Louise, from Arizona to attend this year’s tournament. “We made a total of $100,000 that year for charity,” said Halotek, about the proceeds from the tournament now run by The Greater Hartford Community Foundation, Inc.

Bigger prize money and a bigger pot of money for the benefiting charities aren’t  the only components that have changed.

“There are so many ways for corporations to get involved now,” said Ted May, who chaired the tournament in 1983. “And the facility, it is amazing how much nicer it is now,” he  continued noting the addition of  more family entertainment and a component for junior golfers.

Many agreed that after a bit of a lull, a slowly recovering economy and a field of exceptional golfers in this year’s tournament seems to have breathed life back into the massive event.

“There are a lot more people here this year,” said Steve Abrams, of Max Downtown.  “There were definitely more tickets sold.”
