Send the Pain Below
Hey guys, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents since I haven't written in here for awhile. The boys and I had an excellent samurai reunion up in Baltimore. Jeff, Don, and I rode together and remembered old college times and met up with Andrew and Dave in B-City. It was one of the best times I've had for a long time. The Thai Rolls at Cheesecake Factory rocks my world. It got a little nostalgic when we saw the old home video tapes of us playing. Our first concert was at Janine Mason's birthday party, where I also realized I was allergic to cats. And seeing the tapes of the guys playing at Mainstreet Bar & Grill made me realize what a long way they've all come and some hopes for the future. Here's a tip I learned from the trip. When golfing, it helps to lower your pants right down to your ankles so as to allow a gentle breeze to help you release in your swing...Andrew proved it.
As for me, I will be officially leaving my current postion and moving onto a much better corporate world job. You'll just have to find me to find out where. So since my new start date isn't until Sept. 2nd, wanted to know if anybody was interested in taking a trip the week of the August. 25 anywhere. Only one rule applies..."18 to chill and 21 to get ILL." Seems thinks are looking up after all. Oh and one more thing...If you ever run into Dave Werner, please ask him to do his impression of Ben Park. It doesn't even matter if you don't know Ben Park, just make him do it.
Okay Samurai Factoid #9 (I forgot where I left off, so I picked 9, cause that's my favorite number): Studio Sessions were the greatest. Our first CD was recorded at Rolling Hill Studios. Of course, actually getting the chance to play and record music was great. Listening back to our tracks and experiencing the whole process was awesome too. But my all time favorite part of recording at the studio was the downtime, where all I got to do was eat Jerry's Pizza and play Redneck Rampage. I was so obsessed, that I think I recorded all my bass tracks within 1 or 2 takes, just so I could hurry up and play the stupid game. I later bought the game in college and have not played it since.
