Is it true that Marty & Dino didn't attend the ceremony to receive their award?!
If so, anyone know why? Is there a story behind it?
Wow, that would have been disappointing for those who went to cheer them on.

I don't know if they were there or not, but maybe they had previous commitments elsewhere, and couldn't make it. These things happen. Bobby and Billy are just as important as Marty and Dino, so I hope no one was disappointed by them being there! I would feel bad for those guys if that were the case.

Very true Nancy, but does anyone know if it is even true?

[Trees]

;D ;D ;D I'd like to know where you get your information p12

I read it in one of the blog comments. I then searched this thread for an account of the ceremony but couldn't find that info...but did find a picture from the awards and Marty & Dino were not in it.
Do you know the answer?

I know that Marty tried very very hard to get to the awards. He very much wanted to go. Not sure all the particulars but there was a 6 hour delay and he arrived in Chicago just after the awards show ended. He was disappointed that he had to miss the awards show. He said he "just found out by text message when I landed" that they had won best rock entertainer.

When I see or hear something about Marty, like you p12 reading the blog, I remember what Amy posted about Why she's a Global Mod here...

Quote: I believe in Marty. I believe in his talent and I trust his morals and methodology. Marty Casey is a kind, gracious, generous soul with limitless talent.

What I have learned on the site here is that there is always an effort on behalf of the guys to do the best they can with all they do!!

Thanks Cindy! How frustrating it must have been for Marty

ok, never-mind

Marty just posted about the Chicago Music Awards at lovehammers.com
I don't know if he posted here as well, so here is the post:


WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally got to talk to Bobby and Billy about the Chicago Music Awards event that happened last Sunday. I was unfortunately stuck on a flight trying to get here for the awards but got delayed and missed it. When I left LA I had not heard any news about the results so for the next 5 hours I sat in my seat kinda restless with anticipation. When we landed I immediately turned on my phone and had several texts about the results. Bob simply stated: WE WON!!!!!! I am psyched.

Bob and Billy told me that it was an interesting event. They said it wasn't very well organized and when they were giving their thank you speech there was a band setting up right next to them so it was kinda hectic and 1/2 the people in the audience were paying attention and half weren't. I give those boys credit for giving what I hear was a good short thank you speech and then partying the night away like the Entertainers of the Year that they are.

I want to thank you all so very much for all of the voting you did for us. I know that the award was based on several categories and on-line voting was one of the points they looked to in determining the winner. I am sure that we had like 10 times more votes than the others because Lovehammers fans are just that awesome. Thank You Thank You! We couldn't have done it without all of your undying support. All of your time spent promoting us and coming to see us and hanging with us is so overwhelming and we consider ourselves very lucky to have such a strong support system. It's really amazing that we all share this unique bond. I truely thank you.

We recently recorded an acoustic track for a compilation album called Acoustic Chicago and it will be out in about 2 months. We wrote it in the studio and they filmed us recording it. The track turned out really cool and the band and I had a GREAT time hanging in the studio for 2 days and being creative.

So, now I am going to watch the BEARS game. What a big day for Chicago. Last week the Lovehammers won Entertainers of the Year and this week we will hopefully have another Super Bowl under our belt. I hope I hope.

Marty Casey
