ROB SIMS VIP BDAY SNAPSHOTS...
ROB SIMS invited me to his 26th birthday party at THE LAST SUPPER CLUB in downtown Seattle on Sunday. We celebrated with Rob's friends, family and a few of his Seahawks teammates...
SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE...
I went back home to the Seattle area over the weekend and had a total blast!
I went to my first SEAHAWKS game at the new stadium and enjoyed a Seattle win over San Francisco. The Seahawks kicked a game winning field goal as time ran out for a 17-14 win...
I met up with ROB SIMS from The Seahawks for all of his 26th birthday festivities. We had an awesome meal on the Seattle waterfront at The CRAB POT. What a great place! They just throw down a bunch of seafood, hand you tools and you go for it!!
42nd BDAY SNAPSHOTS
I celebrated my 42nd birthday on December 3rd with friends and family at a couple of my favorite places around town....

"LIVE" BREAKING UP????
A personal message from Chad Taylor:
Dead Friend of Live,
Let me start by thanking you for your many years of devoted loyalty to our music. Bands are lucky if they have one hit and fade away but in the case of Live, you kept us relevant for more than 20 years. Today I am writing you as a fan of the band with sad news. As many of you know, Live was having a hard time keeping things together. After many years of friendship, love and laughter it became clear that things had run their course.
I was in denial. Our working relationship with Ed had grown cold and we were only on limited speaking terms for the last several months. We agreed for the sake of the bands future to take a break and announced the hiatus. During that time period we discovered a contract executed in 2005 that engaged the bands company into a legal obligation that did not have majority consent from the band. Ed’s signature was the only one required.We were fast to try and open communication with Ed or his legal team but got no reply.
Our hiatus had fast turned into a break up. Chad, Patrick and I have no plans to replace Ed at this point in time, however, he will no longer be a member of our band. We are excited by the opportunities ahead of us and will look to enjoin forces with vocalists and instrumentalists that will hold high the ideals set forth by the band and its fans.
Yes, there may be future Live recording and tours but we are all very realistic that it will never be the same without Ed. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be great. Like you, we are greatly saddened by the discoveries we made but as many of you know, life has a way of sorting things out. Ed will always be tied to Live and we will never make attempts to shadow his considerable lyrical and melodic contributions to our music.
Stay tuned to FOL for more details on our future plans. I would also ask that we all take the time to remember the positive energy Ed, Chad, Patrick and I spent so many years pushing forward. I’m trying hard myself to not be judgmental and let life flow freely around me.
Love,Chad TaylorOn behalf of Chad Gracey and Patrick Dahlheimer

'GUEST HOSTING' ON "GOOD COMPANY"
It's always a good time when I get the opportunity to guest-host on WKYC Channel 3's GOOD COMPANY. I love doing TV with Andrea Vecchio, Fred Griffith and the entire crew from the show. I know I have no business hosting cooking segments and I sweat too much...but it's always an hour-long adventure I look forward to..
Hosting the cooking segment with AMP 150 Chef Ellis Cooley. "We" made sweet potatoe pierogis...I think I "drizzled" a lil too much....

CLEVELAND'S WINTERFEST 2009
It was awesome having a front row seat at this year's WinterFest in downtown Cleveland Saturday night. Both Rebecca and I hosted the event for the first time ever and loved every minute of it! It was a great night of music, fireworks and good times....
My wife Susan and daughter Gabby joined me for a photo-op right after the show.

RANDOM WEEKEND THOUGHTS...
What an exciting day today! I'm honored to be hosting two very special events on the same day. Early this afternoon, I'll be in Alliance, Ohio introducing the Governor at an event honoring troops who are being deployed across the globe. I have so much respect for the men and women of the military and I'm blessed to be apart of such a special day.
Early this evening, I'll be in downtown Cleveland co-hosting WinterFest '09. Rebecca Wilde and I have been asked to MC this spectacular event for the first time and we are thrilled to do so. We'll be introducing Mayor Frank Jackson and helping to light the tree in the heart of the city. I've attended this event several times and I'm excited to be hosting it for the first time ever!
Birthday week has officially begun. I'll turn 42 this upcoming Thursday, December 3. The week between Thanksgiving and my birthday is always such an emotional time for me personally. I tend to get quiet and reflective. For as long as I can remember, I've always naturally taken this time to look back on the year and set personal goals for the year ahead. This year, my head is very full.
Some of you have dropped me notes asking how my friend and daughter's GodMother Denise is doing. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer the same week that same disease took her mother's life. She was unable to attend her own mother's funeral because of her surgery. She is back home now and the doctors say they got all of it. The journey has begun. Chemo starts soon. I travelled to Michigan to see her and her family this past weekend. It was one of the most powerful times of my life. It put so much into perspective. She is an amazing lady and deserves our prayers.
be@peace.
