BIG SURPRISE

As proof positive to just how much the MAXfam is truly a family, several members secretly got together and contributed money for the purchase of a MacBookPro computer and scanner/copier/fax machine to present to MFF owner, missmusze. The plan was spearheaded by Michelle aka gr81shelly, New York Group Leader & Jennifer aka jennjonesy (pictured). The surprise was videotaped as Diana aka HisChyna ambushed missmusze and presented her with her gifts. The group openly tweeted throughout the day about the surprise and duped missmusze into thinking they were talking about the NY Meetup which was taking place the same day.

MAXFAM MEETUP AT MSG

The MAXWELLfanforum had their biggest concert meetup to date, as 20 strong (not all shown) were in attendance at Maxwell’s sold out concert at Madison Square Garden. Many ‘blue rosed beauties’ tweeted throughout the concert, bringing the magic to those who were unable to attend. One particular highlight occured when Maxwell took a blue rose, put it in his teeth and proceeded across the stage. A great time was had by all, including two members who ended their 3 day concert trek by stating it was the ‘best concert’ of them all!

MAXFAM AT THE GRAMMYS WITH MAXWELL

On July 31, 2010, Maxwell won the first two grammys of his career. Five MAXfam were in attendance for the awards. During the show, Yolanda aka MissCrumb personally presented Maxwell with a plaque backstage to congratulate Maxwell on this honor, as well as for the first CD from his BLACKsumers’night trilogy being ceritifed platinum.

The inscription was as follows:

Although awards are not necessary to validate one’s worth, your Grammy win is long overdue. We are extremely proud that you have been acknowledged by so many for your exceptional talents and congratulate you on your Platinum selling album.

We have been there to support you throughout the years and we will continueto follow your journey. We hope we’ve made you feel as good as you’ve made us feel. “it really is about the music”.

The names of members who contributed to the gift were listed on the plaque. Yolanda also presented Maxwell with a card that included the names of members who contributed to Yele Haiti on his behalf. The group raised $1,600. Needless, to say, he was very appreciative and thanked Yolanda for the gifts.

MAXWELL WEEKEND IN NYC

Over 20 MAXfam strong, headed to New York City for a fun-filled weekend. Although, a few were native New Yorkers, most traveled from all across the country and two members even came from Canada. Starting with VIP passes to the TODAY SHOW on June 25th, the ladies got in line at 5am in the morning - some without sleep - and were treated to sound check, the on air performance and hugs from Maxwell after the performance.

Many attended the MAXfam lunch, while others tried to catch up on their rest for the Friday night concert. After the concert, some attended Jill Scott’s afterparty.

The fun continued on Saturday, with another lunch and shopping. After Saturday night’s concert, the ladies headed to Maxwell’s afterparty at the Renaissance. Members were surprised that Max recognized many of them by face and knew their name. He was very gracious and again spoke with the ladies and gave them hugs.

Check out the forum for their recaps and the gallery for pictures of the memorable weekend.
