What the bleep? said Carly. She was over on Twitter reading some tweets. She saw a tweet that her friend Rita Zuckerman tweeted. The tweet came from this one groups twitter account. Carly knew that this group had a Facebook page. However she did not know that they had a Twitter account.
The tweet that Rita Zuckerman re-tweeted said that Barry had signed with a Las Vegas Casino Resort to do a residency. Carly wondered where they got that information from. Carly soon got her answer it was on an online LV site called Vegas Chatter. They were the ones were saying that Barry had signed with a casino resort in Las Vegas. I'll make sure my husband Barry is told about this. So he can tell Marc and David. Barry could also tell Garry his friend and former manager. Carly kind of knew who the group owners were. She ran into them at the BMIFC's New York City Rhythm Convention in June of 2015. Carly was with her usual group of Barry Buddies sisters Rita and Zoey Zuckerman and AllyHicks. Wednesday June 17th the night of Barry's Birthday Dinner Party. Carly and her Barry Buddies went to their assigned table. Their table was next to this groups table. So when Carly and Barry Buddies got to their table the groups co- owners stuck there tongues out and their nose up in the air at them. Carly, Ally, Rita and Zoey just ignored them. The owners of the group let other Barry Manilow fans think they knew Barry Manilow, Bruce Sussman, Garry Kief and Marc Hulett. She knew these fans didn't know Barry, Bruce, Garry and Marc at all. Carly thought " If you think you know Barry you really don't ". You've always made other fans think your friends with Barry, Bruce, Garry and Marc. Barry, Garry and Marc are friends with a few select Barry Manilow fans.
Barry, Garry and Marc are very careful about the fans they choose to friends with. Barry hates Las
Vegas and he's never been there in his entire life. Atlantic City is another story. Barry loves Atlantic City with it's boardwalk. He's played there many times at Caesar's Circus Circus, Boardwalk Hall and Resorts Casino. Barry's always said if Atlantic City had more hotels he would play there. Barry came down stairs to give his wife the exiting news that he was going to be doing a residency at the
Tropicana Casino Resort in Atlantic City starting in July 2018. He told Carly she could tell her Barry Buddies the exiting news. Carly called Rita to tell her she had something to tell her, Zoey and Ally at their girls get together lunch today. Once all four girls got together Rita said come on Carly tell us the news we're dying to know. Carly said the news is that Barry's signed a five year contract with the Tropicana Casino Resort in Atlantic City. Barry starts his Tropicana run in July 2018. He will be at the Tropicana July, August, November and December. September and October is when At The Mayflower does it's second regional run at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Now
Vikki and Barry will be working on the BMIFC It's Just Another New Years Eve Weekend for the end of December of next year. The actual weekend will be Thursday December 27th thru Sunday December 30th of next year. Fans going to the weekend will get tickets to all four of the shows Thursday December 27th, Friday December 28th, Saturday December 29th and Sunday December 30th. Barry had always said if Atlantic City had more casino resorts he'd do a residency there. The four of us will have to go opening weekend. Which is Thursday July 5th thru Sunday July 8th. Barry also commented he could take Amtrak down to Atlantic City instead of flying down there. Barry only flies on Delta Airlines whether it's domestic or overseas said Zoey. I know other fans thought that Barry only flew "The friendly skies of United Airlines." when he flew. They also thought that Barry flew on private planes like Viscount. That's Brian who flies on private planes said Carly. Brian also has bodyguards with him when he goes out anywhere. Barry has zero bodyguards when he's out and about by himself. On tour it just him and his personal assistant Eric Schaefer and no bodyguards at all. Barry is very accessible to his fans.Barry will let fans know if he's in a hurry to get somewhere. He's very polite when he has to say "Sorry I can't stay longer. But I have somewhere I have to be." As Barry leaves he turns around a blows everyone a kiss. Barry is way more friendly towards his fans than Brian Murphy is to his fans. Brian still acts like the pop star he was back in the seventies. Barry is over at Cyndi Lauper's condominium to rehearse their song for the Anti Bulling benefit at the O2 in January of next year. Barry and Cyndi are doing a duet on her song True Colors. Barry and Cyndi became friends after Cyndi was a guest on A&E Live By Request A Barry Manilow Christmas. It aired on Friday December 5, 2003. Barry's special guests were saxophonist Kenny G. and Cyndi Lauper. Barry also taped a performance with his friend Bette Midler. Barry gave Bette a gold record for her Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook. Barry also produced Bette's Bette Midler Sings The Peggy Lee Songbook. Barry was on The Today Show with Bette Midler when she introduce her Rosemary Clooney album. Barry played piano and sang with Bette on Slow Boat To China. The two also talked about their collaboration on the Rosemary Clooney album. Barry has also talked about collaborating on an album with Cyndi Lauper. It's going to be a Joni Mitchell album.
