Magical MiG Memories Countdown - #10 and #9

The celebration begins, as Team MiG Global marks four glorious years of supporting MiG Ayesa on October 6. Birthdays often bring thoughts of gifts, and this one is no exception. The gifts we've received haven't come covered with shiny wrapping paper or adorned with a bow. They've come in the form of friendships we've grown, and of a supremely talented guy who dreams of taking the world's breath away with his music.

Team MiG was born when MiG Ayesa stepped on stage for CBS-TV's Rockstar:INXS. In the four years since then, MiG has made many at Team MiG feel as though birthdays come much more than once a year. The heart beneath the rockstar makes every day of work worth it. We've been having a ball, and MiG has made it special.

To mark our 4th Birthday, let's revisit some of those special memories. Countless moments stand out...but I'll limit it to 10. Through October 6, I'll count down to reveal the Top 10 Magical MiG Memories. Here we go....

#10 - Rockstar: INXS
Rockstar: INXS has to be in the Top 10. It helped bring MiG and everyone from Team MiG together. During all those weeks, it was our mission to vote for MiG with reckless abandon, and we heaved a collective sigh of relief every time he survived for the next show. I remember being impressed with most of the people who considered MiG their favorite. MiG had a way of attracting kind, intelligent, talented and giving individuals. Those are traits they have in common with MiG.

#9 - Cleveland, Ohio Gigs
MiG hit the road on a national Hard Rock Cafe Tour with a stop in Cleveland. After one night at the Hard Rock, he followed it up with a night at McCarthy's. MiG took the time to greet everyone before and after the shows, and posed for pictures with people of all ages.

MiG's performance at McCarthy's was spellbinding. He treated us to two fabulous originals from his debut album "MiG" (Decca/Universal) - You and I and Could It Be. I still can't get enough of them.

Singing with heart and soul


Our street teaming exploits for MiG in Cleveland amused some people, as our stealth operations focused on posting flyers for MiG's show in the most creative of locations. Some nice security guards refrained from giving us a hard time, so we escaped unscathed! The weekend was one to remember.

Tomorrow...Memories #8 and #7!

Keep the light shining and pass it on,

Kay
Team MiG Global
