Snow Crab Goodness

Wow, this weekend I had some snow crabs for the first time. I had no idea what I was missing... INCREDIBLE. I am now a snow crab fan. Maybe I should start a website called snowcrabfans.com. I am trying king crab next. Ack, then i'll have to make kingcrabfans.com. This is getting complicated.

Tuesday night fun

This Tuesday called for replacing part of the kitchen floor that had succumbed to excessive moisture in our crawlspace, I can't begin to describe how much fun it was..

World Tour Stop #4

After a flurry of activity in our whirlwind tour through Bossier City, Jena, and Winn, we returned to Bossier City. Quite fun.

Allergy Goodness

You know, when I was young I never had allergies. Well, very rarely. Now, I have crazy allergies. Besides the normal seasonal thing, I have a skin allergy to cold (Cold Urticaria). I ended up going to the allergy doctor to get tested so I had a better idea of what is afflicting me, and it turns out my big things are grasses (all types) and dust (and dust mites). Thank goodness no food allergies! Here are some lovely pictures of the test, as well as a good example of one of my adverse reactions (eye swelling).

World Tour.. pt 2

To kick off part 2 of our World Tour (see World Tour pt 1), we took a trip to a church in Jena, Louisiana. Unfortunately, I don't have any actual pictures of us playing (grrrrr....), but I have a picture of us driving, unloading, and most importantly, a picture of Steve Smith enjoying his first ever Banana Split (how did I never eat a Banana Split until age 31?).

And yes.... that is a Joe Satriani t-shirt I have on.

World Tour.. pt. 1

As you know, we recently finished our CD (which will be in-hand in a week or two). To celebrate, we kicked off our world tour in a church in Bossier City. The church was quite interesting.. very comfortable atmosphere (see couches, etc); very non-traditional. We had a great time! My personal favorite is the nice lamp I had next to my rig :)

Ridiculously good concert, ridiculously bad pictures

This weekend was the long-awaited Dream Theater concert in Austin! Dave, Matt & myself packed it up and drove 5 hours to the heart of Texas for one monster of a concert. A band called "Redemption" opened up, and they were quite good also. This is the 4th time I have seen Dream Theater, but I have to say it was one incredible show. I need to go again....soon...

At the New York Pizzaria before the concert














Here are some of the horrible pictures I mentioned.. but hey.. its a camera-phone at night.. what do you expect?

Here is a picture of us in our fancy new shirts!
