As told from the MAXWELL TOUR by the GoodTimeGirl herself:

So after 4 canceled shows I'm ready to come home. Detroit felt good simply
because we hadn't done a show in so long, and, after all, it's about the
music, right?
So Mr. M gets the bright idea to "throw a party" for Alicia Keys. That means
he makes the phone calls, visits clubs to find the right spot, hires the DJ,
makes sure the band has transportation, makes sure she and her band has all
the presents, right? Yeah, right.
Meanwhile, after searching Toronto and maybe deciding a little too early that
this club was THE club, I decided that I needed at least a fly DJ to cover in
case attack-of-the-hootchie-mamas happened.
T: "Shmear"
?diddy: "What up?"
T: "I need you to fly to Toronto to DJ Maxwell's party"
?diddy: "When?"
T: "ummm, tomorrow?"
?diddy: "HAHAHAHHA....wait, you see Nelly Furtado up there?"
T: "yup. she coming too (fingers crossed), I mean I saw her tonight anyway.
She says Hey!"
?diddy: "Let me know about the tix"
Whoever said the WTC disaster brought ticket prices down was a fool.
SOUNDCHECK:
M's in a bad mood. Damn. So much for feeling out his party vibe. I wish I
had have purchased that ticket for Ahmir. What if the DJ's bad? What if
Alicia doesn't show up? She has a party tonight too. Dear God is this guy
really this hard to please? I don't even know Toronto! What if what they
consider funk is really Bobby Brown! what if *slap*!
Okay, I'm calm. I'm wearing my new Moschino's. I'm cool.
We pass out several hoe passes for the after party and it all seems good.
So after pleading with the owner NOT to tell anyone who was showing up, just
invite 50 people, we show up to an alley crowded beyond belief.
The room was packed with the worst set of hootchies I've ever seen. This
wasn't the same club from the night before! This is the Tunnel crowd. And M
happens to show up on time. So here goes the security issue. Everyone out
of the way. Did I mention the DJ starts playing a house version of Lifetime?
I nearly jumped over the booth and choked him. Here comes the flaming
bartender with a NOW cd talking about "Play this, he'll love it"
"Play that and I'll throw this Vodka on your record collection", I scream.
Now I'm really bitching about needing Ahmir. I run up to the "VIP" section
and the band had picked up 12 too many hootchies so some area turned into no
area. I can't find the gotdamn waitress! Where's Alan? Where's the gotdamn
owner? Where's the ......
M: "Tina"
T: (gulp) hmmmm?
Did I mention the grab/hug/kiss on cheek and whisper in ear...
M: "Thanks for all & everything you do"
T: "No problem at all (now can I have your children?)"
M: "Can't hear you. What'dyou say?"
T: "Can I get you a drink?"
M: "Sure....seltzer water & lemon"
Then the evening went on. Alicia showed up, Vince Carter & some other
Raptors showed up, I played security and knocked hootchies out the box, and
was elated the rest of the evening. Good Time Girl strikes again. Can't wait
to get home this weekend.
See y'all in Philly!

Boy do I wish I could have been there stressing out with you girl. It seemed well worth the stress. You had me laughing over here when u mentioned that THE Clubs vibe changed and looked like the Tunnel. I know exactly what you are talking about. I hate when that happens.
Anyway, I am glad that the party went off smoothly and u didn't have to kill nobody.
I wouldn't mind having the Magnificant Mr. M's babies either honey.

Peace & Blessings

I was there. THe concert was live and the afterparty was alright. The VIP section was crazy crowded though and full of girls trying to get with someone famous. I have no idea how I got in there, but it was an expereince.

The concert was excellent and it made me love Maxwell's music even more (didn't think it was possible).

Peace,
~L~

what's tynie/goodtimegirl's work: she's workin for a tour leading agency (if such thing exist) or is she some kind of SUPERGROOPIE that gets to go everywhere?


D'angelo: Me and you, Ahmir. We gonna crown Erykah Badu tonight as Queen Mackadillah

Questlove: Mackadillah?

D: Mackadillah.

Q: Aight. (Long pause) I still gotta be Chewie?

D: Huh? (laughter) C'mon, man. Chewie is the f****n' bomb

Q: Man, can't I be...

D: He's the ruthless, like, like, he's the intimidating factor. In George Lucus' terms, he was the 'Brotha of Star Wars'.

Q: I'd rather be Jar Jar Binks. Nawww (dual laughter), I'm kiddin'.

D: Are you f****n' crazy!? Jar Jar binks is…

Q: I know, I know, I know.

D: … as bold as a Ewok. (pause) Ok, who you wanna be. You wanna be uhm… you can't be Darth… you can't be anybody on the Darkside.

Q: I'll be Chewie man.

D: Dayum , man why you… look. Aight, look. You don't wanna be Chewie?

Q: I can't be Chewie.

D: Who you wanna be, Han Solo!?

Q: NO!… (pause)…Let Q-Tip be Han Solo.

D: Tip is Han Solo?

Q: Yup. (even LOOONGER pause)

D: Aint-chu Chewbacca?!? That's hot right there.

Q: I was about to say, aint nobody left to…

D: Aint nobody else really.

Q: Aint nobody else left to be but Chewbacca.

D: Nigga, c'mon man. That shit is dope, nigga. Chewbacca was the man!

lets just say she gets shit done

She's Tour Manager extraordinaire (You think we'd EVER taint this site and disrespect you all with mere groupie stories being linked to!?!? My-word. Where were you during the d'angelo tour, okayplayer tour, area one tour... anyway, ya question is valid)

Oh... and about that sig. I transcribed that hilarious conversation for D'angelo's site a while back. I still get a kick out of the audio clip. Go ahead, Cut&paste, I aint mad atcha.

i was right there getting my news/insiders show reviews on but not knowing what was her role... thanks 4 enlightinin me

aint no groupies round here.

tina is a tour manager.
when i moonlighted with d las year, i took her as my assistant.
because even with d, roots shit still had to get done.
alan leeds (yoda manager) saw the incredible organizational skills she had and gave her more responsibility.
so when max ixnayed his road management, he hired alan, who borrowed tina for a bit (rgular tours are just 2-4 months) we have a fine staff of organized females who run shit lovely. some you know (nou ra was first manager) some you don't (princess, toya, hope). and not to forget, the fellas hold their weight too (dix, kmack, shawn).

so no. it is possible for a female to be in close proximity to an artist and not be a groupie.

right tina?


tina?


TINA!!!!!!

2-4 months?

Are the roots even on break that long?

Tina will regulate any groupie who pisses her off....
She don't play

I played security
>and knocked hootchies out the
>box,

Ya heard !!!! TinyTeenie is alright with me!!! So maybe M isn't so "weird" after all. At least he was mindful enough to thank her for all her hard work.

***** The Sig *****
One year as a resident, deep in sentiment, they shout out GO BROOKLYN, they representin it - Dante Smith (guvment on full blast).

(Brook doesn't do stage names !!!)

Toronto gets love... but if you've noticed, NO one city GETS love... we rep 'OKP' not on a per city basis.

BTW... I can run down a list (however short) of OKPs in Toronto! Shoooot, I'm thinkin about movin up there. I have new friends to visit up there. I promoised during the parade in NYC that I'd try to make a trip up there.

B.Kyle

If I had been at that after party she would've got a quick run-up!

Toronto!

(Goodtime Girl's cute too!)
