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 :)
