We're Back!!!

Hello!

I finally have some free time, hence, I'm gonna do some little updating on this website.

I may not be able to finish bringing over some of the posts from ThisBoyCastro today, so please excuse whatever wonky tonky stuff you might see here. I will try to clean up the entries but I will probably (and most likely), miss some.

Hopefully I'll be able to fix the site very soon and make it better.

Aside from performing, Michael will also be posing for pictures and signing autographs.

Admission price is $10.

According to the Friday Night Live website, there will be trained staff and uniformed police officers during the events. There will also be a live DJ and light show, various games and contests, full concession stand, hair and face painting, gym activities, game room and more.

I've seen some of the posters which feature Michael's shows and the ads say that "capacity crowd" is expected.

Ain't that grand?

Psssttt.... Michael Castro

....is gonna be on TV tonight.

Yep. They'll be showing the Hollywood rounds beginning tonight. So be sure to be on a look out for our boy.

I heard he is going to be awesome. Hahaa

But, don't take my word for it. Go watch! ;)

Jason Castro To Perform At The Santa Barbara International Film Festiv

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="401" caption=" "][/caption]

A rumor suggests that Jason's family will be flying to California to watch his performance. And since Michael's MySpace status (from 16 hours ago) says he is "packing and then off to the airport", I suspect that he will be attending the Santa Barbara International Festival to support his brother.

So if you are anywhere near Santa Barbara, or if you live faaarrrr away, but has the means and the time, why not attend the Festival? Not only will you be able to watch Jason perform his FULL version of the lovely Hallelujah, you might just have the chance to see "the" Michael Castro up close and personal.

And wait, there's more!

The luminous Kate Winslet will be at the festival on the same day to receive the Montecito Award. The awarding ceremony will be in a different theater (Arlington), but hey, if you try hard enough, star sighting is not improbable.

The event which runs January 22 to February 1, 2009, will be honoring the great Clint Eastwood on the 29th. Kristin Scott Thomas, Penelope Cruz and comeback king Mickey Rourke, will also be receiving special awards.

Movie festivals like this are always fun and interesting. There are different programs and activities all day long and if you buy a special cinema pass, you can watch all the movies you like. Sometimes the package even includes access to the gala on the first day and the awards ceremony on the final night of the festival.

For more information on the festival schedule and the ticket/passes packages, here's the link to their website : SBIFF

Michael Castro Fan Video

Gontierluvr posted this on Youtube. It's a video using an edited version of Michael Castro's audition. The judges' comments were removed and all you'll hear is our boy's voice.

Michael Castro Music Hits The 100K Mark

.

Well, well, well, take a look at that.

.



.
He has passed the 100K mark in MySpace plays. And 130K+ in views. Very good ratio! Not bad for someone who has ZERO experience.

Sure he's got the famous Castro family name, not to mention that he's a carrier of the Castro genes. BUT still, you've got to give this boy some credit. He made it past the judges on his own merits. He sings well, looks GREAT and is definitely not forgettable.

Plus, the tracks he's got on MySpace (This Boy, Feelin' Good) sound really good. And of course, it doesn't hurt that there are hot pics of him on his page.

Tsk, tsk, our boy is growing up so fast. I'm so proud. :D
