Bay Area SuperFans Visit Ralph Tresvant's Video Shoot!

Submitted by NewEditionLady

All I can say is we had a ball at Ralph's video shoot for his new single, "My Homegirl!"

We were early risers on Friday morning because the video shoot took place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. We were going to the Palace of Fine Arts location in San Francisco, and a few of us needed to allow for some extra travel time as we were in the East Bay and had to fight the early morning Bay Bridge traffic.

We finally arrived at the video shoot location, and a few of the production people were there. Ralph had not arrived yet. Once everyone arrived, Dan Dillman, founder and CEO of Xzault, made the NEFC members feel right at home. He said thanks to the SuperFans for all their hard work and for the way we have been keeping Ralph's name out there. Each time we thanked him for allowing us to be there, he thanked us for our hard work. Both Dan and Chuck Richardson (Vice President of Xzault) also had very nice things to say about our SuperFans Leader, Nita Hampton.

Once Xzault made us feel like family and part of the crew, then Dan and Chuck told us to feel free to hang out with them, have fun and observe. A few moments later, Ralph jumps out of the car (looking HOT as ever) and approaches us. As usual, he treats us like old friends. A few jokes and laughs were exchanged and we talked about the CD.

After we stood around talking to Ralph for a little while, it was time for work to begin. Ralph was taken to the area where the filming would take place, and we followed him shortly thereafter.

"QUIET ON THE SET". . . Is what was said . . . and the filming began. Read more . . .

NEFC member and DC area SuperFan SJBrown1 made an impact for RIZZWAFAIRE! SJBrown1 emailed Michael Baisden's "Love, Lust, Lies" afternoon radio show and requested they have Ralph Tresvant on. Guess what? The show contacted Xzault Media Group and they have scheduled the man Ralph Tresvant to be on the show March 24.

Thank You to SJBrown1. One fan can make a difference and ALL of us together will make sure "RizzWaFaire" is everywhere! Back to menu

SuperFans RizzWaFaire Is in the Air!

Submitted by lynnetteb and K_Skillz Atlanta Regional Team Co-Leaders Atlanta SuperFans have been "RizzWaFairing" all over the Dirty South! In addition to hanging posters all over the metro area, we attended the NE Concert in Savannah wearing T-shirts promoting Ralph's "RizzWaFaire" solo project, put up posters, and handed out postcards there. Join us Friday, March 10, at Jay's Place II 4612 Redan Road and Hairston for our "RizzWaFaire" listening party.

I decided to staple a poster to the front of my jacket and 4 postcards to the back went to the entrance of a Celtics game and got a WHOLE lot of attention. This is Boston so why not? At one point I had about 20 people around me asking questions about the new album. I plan on doing the same thing on March 7 and going outside record stores (where I've received permission) and passing out the rest of the postcards. This has been the most fun I've ever had!

Chicago Regional Team Leader

Chicago area SuperFans met this past Sunday at the Bronzeville Coffee House and I distributed the posters and postcards to the crew. Everyone was excited and charged about helping promote Ralph's CD. They all mentioned that they were going to get started immediately with posting the posters.

We sat around for a while and reminisced on our childhood and the crazy things we did to meet New Edition. Kelvin, one of the guys helping us post the posters, brought great pictures of the guys in concert and up close and personal pictures. It was great! I think we are on a great start and I have requested that they send me an update on how they are doing and once I hear from them I will definitely update you on their progress.

Down here in the Dirty South we have been on the job. We've hit beauty salons heavily and they have been very receptive. Everyone has been very excited about the upcoming project. We have received many offers from places to shave Ralph's head for him when he comes to town. I've even had one of the hardest dudes I've ever seen start singing "Sensitivity." My favorite quote while out "RizzWaFairing" has been "I'm going to buy it for real and not get it on bootleg."

Las Vegas SuperFans have been holding it down for Ralph Tresvant's "RizzWaFaire" CD. Posters have been hung throughout the city and postcards are all over. I also was "RizzWaFairing" at the recent Keith Sweat concert and Kenny Latimore's show as well. Magic week which is the equivalent of Fashion Week was in Vegas and Ralph' postcards were given out at that function. Las Vegas SuperFans have continously been requesting the single "My Homegirl" on the local radio station.

Los Angeles Regional Team Leader

Los Angeles area Superfans have been on the job. With Los Angeles County covering over a 300 mile radius, having fans that live throughout the area have helped ensure that the "RizzWaFaire" was truly everywhere. Fans have hung up posters in local/chain record stores, college campuses, and swap meets. Mrs. Lewis and Lala DeVoe were in attendance at the Riverside, CA "Man of Her Dreams" play, where they passed out postcards spreading the word on "RizzWaFaire," a new member to the board attended the San Diego show where he got his "RizzWaFaire" on, and Oakland Team Leader NewEditionLady lent a hand to the Los Angeles team by "RizzWaFairing" at the Long Beach, CA show along with Mialani and Stacie10. I was also able to obtain permission to leave postcards at the famous Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles and M&M's Soul Food restaurants. Thanks to everyone for all of your time, assistance, and support.

Oakland Regional Team Leader

Oakland SuperFans team "Mission: RizzWaFaire" began with phone calls and emails to local radio stations alerting them of the new CD and first single. Our second "RizzWaFairing" mission was on the set of the "My Homegirl" video shoot. As spectators passed through to get a glimpse of Ralph Tresvant during the making of his video, we gave them information highlighting Ralph's upcoming CD. Third, we took "Mission: RizzWaFaire" to the streets. Equipped with our materials (tape, staplers, scissors, push pins, posters, postcards, etc.), we began hanging posters and posting cards in key locations throughout the city including colleges, record shops, speaker stores, restaurants, malls, performing arts centers, beauty salons, barbershops, etc.

Our final "RizzWaFairing" mission before the CD drops on March 7 was at Ralph's four performances in the play, "Man of Her Dreams," at Oakland's Paramount Theatre. Nothing beats promoting "RizzWaFaire" in the presence of Ralph Tresvant, himself! Mission accomplished, Oakland team!

Submitted by Down4Rizz Raleigh/Durham Regional Team Leader I had the desire to help promote Ralph's "RizzWaFaire" album any way that I could! I wanted to tell everyone that I knew about it and got right to work when my promotional materials arrived. My area of concentration consisted of covering the Raleigh/Durham, NC area and I also decided to add surrounding cities just because I believe in the project so much. In my efforts of "RizzWaFairing," I got the word out by telling friends and family, passing out postcards at local events, purchasing the singles online, hanging up posters, and promoting Ralph online. Some of the places I targeted for posters were records stores, hair salons, barbershops, universities, local eateries, and radio stations. I really enjoyed bringing smiles to faces while handing out the postcards and listening to all the stories of admiration for our Ralph.

St. Louis Regional Team Leader

WOW! St. Louis is making "RizzWaFaire" a successful assignment. With only two members I and Destyn2b, have covered a lot of ground hanging posters and passing out post cards. Posters have been hung at Southeast Missouri State University, Harris Stowe State University, local bus depots, mall parking lots, check cashing places, restaurants, nail shops, Sam Goody, P Mac, and Streetside record stores. Postcards were handed to parents at my job, Destyn2b posted some on university bulletin boards and we also left them at Streetside and Vintage Vinyl record stores. We have also been calling the local radio stations to request the new hot single "My Homegirl." Now some of the DJ's know me on a first name basis. This is only the beginning because we will continue to do our part to help Ralph. Soon I will be speaking with a promotion leader of one of the local radio stations, to see if one their DJ's can be on air live at our listening party for "RizzWaFaire." Back to menu

Thank You SuperFans!
Submitted by Mrs.NitaBabyBivins

Thanks to all the SuperFans that have worked and continue to work hard promoting Ralph Tresvant's CD "RizzWaFaire" due to be released nationwide this Tuesday March 7. You will see in the following article submissions from the Regional Leaders how diligent the love and support for Ralph is across the country. You will notice the term "RizzWaFairing" used often. "RizzWaFairing" is any activity that involves promoting "RizzWaFaire." This includes hanging posters (and for some wearing them), passing out postcards, spreading the word to any and everyone about "RizzWaFaire." We have our own Kim aka NewEditionLady to thank for this term. She began using the phrase to describe what a group of SuperFans that went to Las Vegas back in December were doing. Instead of saying we're hanging posters and passing out postcards etc. Kim said we're "RizzWaFairing." She began using it around the NEFC and it has caught on so thanks to Kim for that new term.

There were three significant events in Houston, TX the last few weeks which afforded the opportunity to promote "RizzWaFaire." The play "Man of Her Dreams" which featured Ralph Tresvant was here in February. I attended a couple shows and "RizzWaFaired" after each show ended. Those in attendance had the opportunity to meet, take pictures, and receive autographs from Ralph and the cast. Those that received "RizzWaFaire" postcards asked Ralph to sign them so not only do they have his autograph but it's on a HOT postcard with his picture on it. Also at this event Ralph gave a special thanks to the SuperFans for working hard in helping promote his solo project. Click here to view the thank you.

February 16 - 19 Houston hosted the NBA All-Star festivities. Since "RizzWaFaire" is everywhere I got my "RizzWaFairing" on during the course of that weekend. Many NBA fans came back to their cars to see "RizzWaFaire" cards on their windshields. Hopefully they will also be New Edition and Ralph Tresvant fans now. On February 25, Houston hosted the State of the Black Union 2006 presented by Tavis Smiley. All I can say again is "RizzWaFaire" is everywhere and unfortunately for cars so am I ha ha ha!

New Edition performed in Savannah, GA on February 11 and I did a bit of "RizzWaFairing" there. The Atlanta team led that charge and did the brunt of "RizzWaFairing" in Savannah as submitted above by the Atlanta Regional Team Co-Leaders.

Again thank you to all and Happy "RizzWaFairing." Let's continue to get the word out for Ralph Tresvant and "RizzWaFaire!" Back to menu
