This gig was quite a bit different from the norm!  We played a gig for a benefit at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Washington D.C. not knowing exactly what to expect.  As it turns out, the event was hosted by Bo Derek and Sam Donaldson.  We performed for about one hour, only to step off the stage to see, and meet, Quincy Jones who was watching SoulerCoaster 's performance from the  front row!!!!

Meeting Quincy (otherwise known as Mr. Jones) was a real thrill, considering he produced half of what we had just played!  For those of you who do not know Quincy Jones' work, he produced Michael Jackson's Thriller album, the number one selling album of all time, and he has been nominated for a record 76 grammies!  This would only begin to list his vast accomplishments.

Also in attendance at the gig were world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, and the all time basketball king Michael Jordan!!!  This gig was a real thrill for us to play.

Unfortunately, we didn't capture everything on film, but you get the idea from the pictures below!  By the way, Bo is still a 10!

 


That's Quincy saying "she's the star!"


Bo Derek, hangin' with the Phats!


Rich and Bo.  If you brought YOUR
camera, maybe this would be you!


Rich, Quincy and Monica. I think
he likes us, he really likes us! 


The Ballroom at the Ritz Carlton.  Nice stage, eh?
