I’m sitting backstage at the Arie Crown in Chicago. I finish here on
Saturday night after 6 sold-out shows!  Two on Saturday, then I leave here
at 11pm to fly to L.A.  After a few hours of plane sleep..LOL…I have to
be up pretty early on Sunday for a long, fun, exciting day!  And this is
why; I don’t know if you know this or not, but I’m presenting at the
Oscars!  So strange, I became an Academy member last year and, this year,
I’m asked to present. How cool is that?!  Catch it this Sunday night if
you can. 6 Nominations for PRECIOUS – I’m so happy for them.

I’m also thankful for the NAACP Image Awards.  PRECIOUS won several
awards, as well as “House of Payne.”  I received the Chairman’s Award.  It
was a great moment for me.  I was pretty much on the same travel schedule,
BUT it was great.

In all that I do, it is important to me to inspire and encourage, and that
is what I tried to do with my speech.  Not sure if you saw it or not, but
I’m sure someone has put it on YouTube by now…LOL.  I’d love for you to
see it, and if you do, I hope that my words inspire you.

I’ll try and check in next week but Monday I go right back to the show.

Well, talk soon.

Hey there,
I’m in Fresno.  I slept on the bus last night. There was a smell in the
hotel and my sinuses were killing me.  Oh well, I’m ready to go tonight!
I’m on the bus jamming to Tamela Mann’s new CD, THE MASTER PLAN.  Do you
have it yet?  All I gotta say is…WOW!  Pick it up if you can, ya’ll…get
Cora’s CD…LOL.
Just wanted to give you an update…the tour is going so well.  It’s been
a week now and all I can tell you is that people who have seen it are
blown away.  I mean blown away!  I am really enjoying this show.  I’m so
glad to be on the road in front of the people again.  I didn’t know how
much I missed this and I really didn’t know how much I needed it.  This is
so great!  I don’t know of a better way to grieve than to write a show and
dedicate it to my mother.  This is really helping me.   Thank you to all
of you who have come and to those of you who are planning to come.  I
promise you won’t be disappointed.
MADEA’S BIG HAPPY FAMILY is truly the biggest show I’ve ever done.  I am
traveling with (70) people, (9) 18-wheelers, (8) buses, not to mention the
lights, sound, the video components and the special effects. I guess what
I want you to know is…IT’S A BIG SHOW!  Just to give you some idea, on
the MADEA GOES TO JAIL tour, we had (26) people, (3) 18-wheelers, and (2)
buses…this show is twice as big.  I didn’t want to come out unless I
could give you something special, and this is special.  You have never
seen a play like this one.  I said it once and I’ll say it again – IF
YOU’VE NEVER SEEN MADEA LIVE, then you have never seen MADEA AT ALL!
You know what else is so cool?  I had no idea how large of an audience I
had outside of the African-American community.  Seeing it from the stage
is pretty amazing.  I always knew that truth was color-blind and that as
long as I tell the truth in my work it would reach the masses.  SO great
to see that happening!
Last thing, then I’m off to the gym – I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF comes out
on DVD today.   Pick it up if you can. I know it will bless you really
good.  It has already blessed millions.
Talk soon.  Fresno tonight, Sacramento tomorrow, and Oakland for the weekend.
See you.
Tyler
