Justin Guarini: I’ve Been A Busy Boy

July 6, 2006 - Justin checked in with fans on his blog at Mac.com on Monday (July 3). “I’ve been a busy boy. Sorry for the lag-time in the posts,” Guarini writes. “I’ve been in San Diego, Mass., and The Hamptons. Not to mention putting together a 3rd album. I had a fun time judging and performing at an American Idolesque show in San Diego… The Hamptons were a blast… pretty hard to complain about that. Coffey [Anderson] and I got to perform for the Core Club and The Creative Coalition (both heavy into the arts, to put it mildly) and the livin’ was easy.”
